Does Jim Ross Think Ric Flair Should Return?, More News

Jim Ross has a new blog entry up, here are the highlights…

On Talking to Ric Flair: Ric called me last Sunday morning and we had a nice talk and I could tell that “Naitch” was getting “the itch” to get back in the ring. He might be feeling somewhat burned out regarding all the autograph shows and meet ‘n greets that he’s done over the past several months. One can only imagine how much flesh Ric has pressed since retiring. Ric’s driver’s license may say that he is 60 years old but he still has the spirit and constitution of a 30- something year old, for better or for worse, depending on one’s perspective.

On If Flair Can Perform: Can Ric still perform in the ring at a competitive level. Hell, yeah. Should he? Well, that’s another question that’s a little tougher to answer.

On Ric Flair’s “Calling”: Without question, wrestling is Ric Flair’s calling. When God thought of creating the image of a pro wrestler, an argument could be made that He had “Naitch” in mind. God must particularly love “The Champ” because Ric got a “pass” when he survived what could have been for him a fatal airplane crash many years ago that saw Ric suffer a broken back.

Comparing Ric Flair with Chuck Liddell: This is not like Chuck Liddell having another UFC fight. UFC is sport and the magnificent Liddell has done enough to his body and for his sport to proudly and graciously say “Adiós” to MMA. Pro wrestling is show biz and Ric is a magnificent showman who can entertain audiences in a variety of ways but Ric also has the curse of a performer in that once a performer always a performer and Ric likely would like just as soon “die on his sword” as not.
