WON: Ric Flair Expected to Sign with AEW

[Looji Nagata]

New horseman confirm.

So they copy TNA and make Fourtune 2.0?

I'm 100% fine with Flair in AEW, but for the love of God, don't let him wrestle a match. I think Tony has proven that he won't do something that dumb. It'd be cool if we got a Horseman reunion or a match on a Special Saturday Dynamite where it's like Darby w/ Sting vs. Andrade or Starks w/ Flair or something along those lines.

Such Wow. Much Surprise. Mindblown.

I actually don't don't Tony has proven that he won't do anything that dumb tbh in fact I think he's more likely to try a dumb thing once and never do it again if it flops instead of never trying it.

But honestly Flair cannot take a single bump at this point, I don't think anyone but Flair himself would consider it. That way they had to do the punt from Orton was just sad

True. Covid be ruining dream matches.

Flair does have name value, but he's been hard to understand in his commercials, and looks kind of bizarrre. Tully, Jake, Arn these guys I can see maybe contributing in some way, but on screen it's getting to be a little much.

Tully and Arn are great on screen to me still (as long as Tully doesn't wrestle anymore)...Jake was fine at first but at this point I'd prefer if he switched over to backstage work lol I'm sure he can still teach a promo class even if he can't talk well himself anymore, Archer got miles better working with him to the point that Jake's not needed so he probably helped there

Tully looks very frail to me, but yeah I can see people like him and Arn. Ric Flair though I wonder where he would fit into this fold.

He only fits as a special occasion pop to me lol and they gonna have to try REAL hard to convince me otherwise if they go a different route

I also said Christian shouldn't challenge Kenny on PPV tho and look at me now....might just be a mark

If they start sticking him with Andrade and shit, my god lmao

I could see this working if it's like exclusively backstage taped segments in a way I think them together could be fun but Flair on Live TV is just what makes me nervous
