Two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair recently made headlines when he announced his divorce from her wife, Wendy Barlow. Wendy was Naitch’s fifth wife, and since this divorce, the fans have called out Flair for his ‘relationships mismanagement’ on the internet.
However, recently The Nature Boy put all those haters in their place when he confessed that he and Barlow are still in contact together and she still handles her personal affairs.

The Hall of Famer recently took to his Twitter and made a bold claim that he is “needed again” in the wrestling business. The former WWE champion wrote that in the wrestling business, people have always depended on him for ratings, and this time he wants to be in more ratings for Tony Khan’s AEW.
“In The History Of The Wrestling Business, One Thing Is Certain: When You Need A Rating, You Call The Naitch! It’s Been 50 Years Of Getting Ratings, And Apparently I’m Needed Again At Almost 73.” he wrote.

The fans don’t want to see Ric Flair
This latest tweet angered many fans who outright rejected the idea of seeing Flair inside a wrestling ring again. The fans on the internet called out the legend for making poor life decisions.
The fans even stated that the WWE Hall of Famer is looking for a way to make money to be able to keep up financially with the five divorces that he has had.

One fan used a GIF and mocked Flair by portraying himself as Flair and talking in the first person. In the tweet, the fan wrote (operating as Flair) that he needs the money to put an end to some of his dues, and the IRS is also behind him.

However, in the end, the fan also mocked the fact that nobody from WWE called Ric Flair after his fifth divorce.
Please, Tony Kahn, sir. Please, give me a job. Please, sir. That boat payment is due. I’m getting a divorce. The IRS is closing in. I don’t have a piece of wrestling history belt to sell. Hunter didn’t call. Vince didn’t call. Taker didn’t call. Please, Mr. Kahn, please hire me. pic.twitter.com/bWkN4OKzYT

There were some fans who fancied a match between Sting and Flair in AEW. However, one fan made a mockery out of a match between The Stinger and The Nature Boy.

No, you’re not. 73 year olds aren’t brought in for anything other than award shows.

Damn, Ric is trying real hard to get another job. I guess all those divorces can bankrupt a guy.

Eventually, the general notion from the fans is that they would not like to see a wrestler in his 70s making a comeback to the ring. However, there’s an interesting catch here.
Flair used a photoshopped picture of him with MJF, so maybe it could mean that he is pitching the idea of being a manager for ‘The Salt of the Earth’. However, all of this is just mere speculation at this point.
