In an interview with Charleston.net, Ric Flair commented on his departure from WWE. “WWE and I parted on the best of terms. This gives me the chance to pursue new opportunities … corporate speaking engagements, product sponsorships, autograph shows for my loyal fans (who made me what I am today) and film and television roles. My agent and I are very excited about what the future holds.” He also stated that there are no hard feelings with Vince, “I’m 59 years old and I’ve never stood on own two feet without wrestling. I need to find out if I can. Vince can’t prop me up forever."
“I just can’t leave the money on the table anymore,” said Flair, who was forced in recent months to forego a number of business opportunities, including a 30-city autograph signing tour of old NWA towns that would have netted him in excess of $300,000.
