News

Both WWE and Ric Flair have commented on the two parting ways, a story which broke last night…

On WWE.com, the company wrote: “WWE and Hall of Famer Ric Flair have mutually agreed to contractually part ways. After an extraordinary career Ric has chosen to pursue opportunities outside of WWE.”

Flair’s agent sent around this statement, according to F4Wonline.com: “WWE and I parted on the best of terms. This gives me the chance to pursue new opportunities, corporate speaking engagements, product sponsorships, autograph shows for my loyal fans (who made me what I am today) and film and television roles. My agent and I are very excited about what the future holds.”

F4W also has more on the Flair story in the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, available at the site.

Matthew Michaels is editor emeritus of Pulse Wrestling, and has been since the site launched.
