Prime-Time Roundup

Posted: Dec 2nd 2007 By: CMBurnham

11-26 WWE RAW

A black limosuine pulled up and Ric Flair emerged. Jim Ross speculated why Flair chose to return tonight in his home town. Jerry Lawler said he hoped it wasn't to make the announcement he feared.

Ric Flair came to the ring. He thanked the fans for their reception and said they're too kind. He said there's been a lot of discussion about why he chose Charlotte, NC to make this announcement. He said they'd been so good to him and gets emotional. He said there was a reason he hadn't been on RAW for 6 months. He knows his wrestling career can't go on forever. He recently got himself involved in politics and opened a marketing business. He knows there will be a time for him to retire, but then announced that he will NEVER retire until he's ready to. He has too much left and loves this business. He's going nowhere. Vince McMahon came down and said Flair had him going. HE was very happy that Flair will never retire because Flair means a lot to him and he's a good piece of property for the WWE. Vince hopes Flair keeps on going forever as long as he keeps winning. But that's the catch. As of now, Flair's career only continues as long as he wins. The first match he loses, no matter how, his career is over. He told Flair that he hopes he doesn't die anytime soon. Then WWE RAW World Champion Randy Orton comes out. He said he cannot thank Flair enough for all the advice Flair gave Orton early on, for being a friend in his formative years, for being there whenever he had personal problems, for being a role model and he then thanked Flair for giving him the pleasure of ending Flair's career. Vince announced that Randy Orton would face Ric Flair in the main event tonight. Orton again thanked Flair.

While begging off from a match with Chris Jericho, Satino Marella made a surprise and unprovoked attack on Jerry Lawler, pummeling him at ringside beore leaving up the ramp.

After Chris Jericho def. Santino Marella, he invited Jerry Lawler into the ring to exact some revenge.

Shawn Michaels greeted Ric Flair as he was lacing up his boots. He said he came tonight to see Flair, but didn't know it might be the last time Flair could wrestle. He wasn't sure he wanted to embrace wrestling without Flair. He's always been biased in regards to Flair. Randy Orton has been on a roll. He gave Flair a pep talk calling Flair the one legend the industry will ever have, then quoted Flair's famous line. "To be the man, you've gotta beat the man" and said he didn't think Orton could do it. Flair thanked him and said he'd do everything he could to live up to the bond they've had for the past 2 years. If nothing else, Flair would go out in a blaze of glory.

Ric Flair was headed down the hall to the ring. When he turned the corner, he was met by a plethora of WWE superstars (including WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter) who burst into applause. Triple H stepped out, shook hands with Flair and embraced him, then simply told Flair to "show them who you are." Flair headed on to the ring entrance as they stars applauded again.
