Hulk Hogan being welcomed back into the industry with open arms, in spite of how a sizeable chunk of WWE's own roster felt about it, did give the impression that some names are so big there's nothing they won't eventually be forgiven for.
However, the sickening revelations about Ric Flair in VICE's most recent Dark Side of The Ring episode should, surely, be something no wrestling fan can excuse. Tommy Dreamer losing his job for likening the alleged sexual assault to him having a s**t haircut as sure a sign as any that the actions are the sort of thing you deserve to have a legacy entirely tarnished over.
Sadly the number of "WOOOOO!"s echoing around the o2 last night suggest that this isn't something that's either infiltrated or altered the casual wrestling conciousness yet. Yes, you can argue it's as much a Charlotte thing now, and she doesn't deserve to be tarnished with the sins of the father, but it's also incredily incredibly easy not to do. So don't.
