Ric Flair to TNA?

According to an interview done by ScrippsNews.com to the WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair where he was asked whether he ever considered joining TNA Wrestling, especially now with the introduction of Hulk Hogan, Flair stated that:

"I haven't entertained the idea of working there because I've been so loyal to WWE, but you never know what's going to go on. I don't want to make any predictions, but I've certainly got a lot left to offer. I think I would be a good addition to TNA's program."

And continued: "Everything is about money, timing, what they want me to do and the job description. There's a lot up in the air. I haven't talked to [TNA] yet, but I've had conversations with people who work there. I've stood by WWE, but if they're not going to use me anymore, I'm ready for any kind of action."

He also stated that he may come out of retirement to wrestle Hulk Hogan and about his (Flair's) marriage to Jackie Beems.

   Isn't it funny how TNA is starting to look and aweful lot like WCW. Seems that WWE rejects end up there. Now I have alot of respect for guys like Sting and AJ Styles, but I have none for the Dudleys or Foley who seem to bash the WWE everytime they get a chance. TNA is gonna have the same unhappy ending as WCW.

   My opinion is that Flair, should start having some time with his family, hi doesn't really need anymore money, I think. I mean, why do uou think he is divorced three times from three wifes. Because he didn't spend anytime with his family, being on the road all the time. He should at least do that now.

   I find it funny how people all the time bash TNA for getting people who have been in WWF/E and WCW, yet they praise WWE when they siggn a guy who came out of TNA or even ROH....it's no different than a football player changing teams, but you WWE sheeple act just about the same way Patriots fans act, blinded by perception and out of touch with reality.

   @Mortal Van Dam, I meant he is a fool because he is getting on in age. What he offers is less than what his stealing the limelight would probably destroy. He is just another huge ego TNA do not need, and he is blatantly only doing it for money. He has shown many times in his life, that he is a money grabbing fool, and here he goes again.

   I personally didn't agree with Ric Flair wrestling Hulk Hogan on that tour, and I will not agree with him wrestling in TNA.
   
   WWE gave Ric Flair the biggest send off in wrestling history for a retiring guy, he had not only a great Wrestlemania moment, months of story line building, but he even had a whole RAW episode practically for him.
   
   If Ric didn't want to retire full time, he should of said before going through with it, I know you get wrestlers who 'retire' and come back a week later, but we all know it was different in this case with Flair, and how it was treated.
   
   And as far as Ric Flair joining TNA, during his time with WWE or loyalty to WWE, he went on various TV shows/other media and BASHED and insulted TNA, and even one point to go simply "Who?..." So if he goes through with this, it will show that Ric is simply interested in cash, and nothing more.
   
   And just for the record, WWE gave Ric Flair a job role, but he went off for his own things, he had chance to benefit and help the younger guys and so on, but he shot it down and got his own agent, so it shows loyalty means nothing to that man.

   If you haven't figured it out by now, then I have a news flash for you. Ric Flair wants to die doing what he loves, and that so happens to be wrestling. The guy has given up his wife, his kids, and God only knows what else for his one true mistress. He can't give it up, and most likely never will. I don't know Ric Flair personally, and I could very well be wrong, but this man won't stop until wrestling kills him. The legend and persona of Ric Flair has consumed this human. Just hope he's able to realise what is really important before he ceases to be.
