Ric Flair Announces His Retirement
Posted: Sep 22nd 2007 By: CMBurnham
Perhaps the greatest wrestler in the history of the business announced his retirement plans this afternoon. Ric Flair said he will hang up his boots next year during a press conference in Dover, DE, at the NASCAR Busch Series. He cited that he wanted to spend more time with his family: "I've earned the right to retire on my own terms, but I don't see myself as bigger than the WWE. If it works into a storyline that works with the program, then I'm happy with it. If not, we just walk away one day and say goodbye." On how he would like to walk away: "If I could write that script, I would just say that I would be in a marquee position...I would like to wrestle a marquee guy, a big name, in my last match. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, John Cena...I would love to wrestle in a marquee position in a marquee match and just have my finest hour."
