Ric Flair tweeted his disgust for WWE's decision to bring JBL back during Monday's episode of Raw.

The 'Nature Boy' posted via his official Twitter page to say, "I guess the anti-bullying program you so heavily endorsed does not apply to Bradshaw". Flair then went on to namedrop both Joey Styles and Justin Roberts (who were involved in incidents with JBL) before adding: "What a joke!".

Ric wasn't quite finished there. He also remarked that he's "sad" to see Layfield in WWE's Hall Of Fame alongside other legends.

WWE recently brought JBL back as Baron Corbin's manager. The alliance actually started back in September, but Triple H didn't pull the trigger on it until a few months later. This was a bid to move away from Corbin's 'Happy' guise towards something different, but it isn't doing much for Flair.

The multi-time World Champ couldn't hide his unhappiness upon seeing JBL stroll around the place. He also appeared to question WWE's old 'Be A Star' anti-bullying campaign.

It didn't take long before countless wrestling fans replied to talk about Ric's own controversial past and allegations made against him.
