Recently, fans were baffled as Ric Flair would announce his plans to wrestle one final match. The legend has been training with AEW’s Jay Lethal, and has a date set for this final match. Fans however have been eager to know just why he’s having another match – and Flair would reveal this.
Ric Flair Wants To Go Out On His Own Terms
While speaking with Vickie Guerrero on her “Excuse Me” podcast, Flair would explain why
“Because I wasn’t happy with the way I went out. I wrestled because I needed the money back then because of divorce and divorce attorneys. I’m not doing it for the money now. I can always make money. I worked out hard. When I came down here, I started working out with Rob, John Cena’s trainer.
I feel better about myself now mentally and physically than I did back then, I just want to go out on my own. I kind of was pushed through in situations back then that I didn’t like to be in. But once again, when you need the money, it’s a whole different world then when you don’t. So this is on my terms.”
