10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About 2021

10. That Ric Flair Angle

Woo-oops!

January 2021 feels like a lifetime ago, granted. Back then, Ric Flair returned to WWE screens and started running around with Lacey Evans like a horny teenager. Sure, that's nothing really new for the 'Nature Boy', but it was really f*cking weird to watch play out this year.

Ric was (ahem) wooing Evans to get back at a babyface Charlotte too, which was equally as odd. She just doesn't work as a goody, and so the whole drama felt totally wrong and out of place. It was actually difficult to pinpoint who WWE were trying to target with the story. Older fans who remember Ric's party boy capers? Daughters who watch dad go through a midlife crisis? Who was this for?!

Even daddy dearest admitted in interviews that he found the whole thing awkward. Think about that: Ric f'n Flair, who used to get naked at parties because he figured it was hilarious, thought WWE's script was mortifying. That perhaps says it all.
