Ric Flair is leaving the WWE.
FOR THE LATEST WEE NEWS PLEASE VISIT THE SOUTH AFRICAN WEBSITE
The 72-year-old ring legend only re-signed with the company last year but they have agreed to release him from his contract after they failed to “see eye to eye” on “some business opportunities”, but the Nature Boy insisted he isn’t departing under a cloud.
He told People magazine: “We just didn’t see eye to eye on some business opportunities that I wanted to pursue, so I asked for my release. There has been no animosity and everything has been on friendly terms.”
Ric Flair insisted reports he had urged WWE boss Vince McMahon to release him because of conflicting storylines with his wrestler daughter Charlotte were “absolutely not true”.
He added: “It happens sometimes in business; you just don’t see eye to eye. But how could I have any animosity towards the company who made me who I am? They literally made me who I am.
“Some of my best friends in the world work at the company. How could I possibly be upset with the company where my daughter is currently the most decorated woman’s wrestler in history?
“It was a mutually agreed-upon decision and I will be moving forward to pursue other exciting endeavors such as my own line of wine, my own network, as well as comic books. I had to make this decision personally for my business and my brand.”
The WWE released possibly the shortest statement ever released in confirming the news, posting: We have come to terms on the release of Ric Flair as of today, 8/03/2021.
