10 Things We Learned From Corey Graves' New WWE Podcast
6. Ric Has Been Medically Cleared To Bump
Start worrying about Crown Jewel and beyond, folks.
Flair said on 'After The Bell' that he's been medically cleared to take bumps. At 70 years of age and with numerous health problems behind him, that'd be ill-advised, and it's hardly like WWE are going to book Flair against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 36. They might put him in there for a tag bout in Saudi Arabia though.
Would you be totally shocked? Those Saudi shows are becoming the home of ageing relics dusting off their boots for one go-around, and they're more geared towards attractions than top quality, super-slick wrestling matches. Who's to say, provided doctors allowed it, that Ric won't work limited spots in some mixed tag match with his daughter Charlotte now women are apparently welcome to perform?
Of course, Ric could've been colouring the full story for the sake of headlines. If so, it worked. Graves' interest was peaked, although he (much like most lifelong fans) would probs rather Flair called it a career and didn't come back for "one more match".
