Ric Flair is tired of all the negative remarks about his AEW tenure.
Flair posted the following on Instagram, seemingly in response to the criticism over his presence in All Elite Wrestling.
Flair’s arrival has been met with some criticism by fans on social media, further exacerbated by comments he made during a promo at Wednesday’s Rampage taping. According to live fan reports, Flair cut a promo and allegedly invited “18-28 year-old women [to] come to my hotel room, no boyfriends no husbands.” Flair has said a variation of the line in the past, but it’s clearly an inappropriate remark for a variety of reasons.
Flair says he’s simply there to be by his friend Sting’s side, but he’ll leave if he’s caused any embarrassment to Tony Khan or the company.
“I am so tired of hearing all this negativity! I don’t need to work, and I don’t need the money. Can’t I simply enjoy being by my dear friend @stinger’s side for the next few months without so much hatred? I know I’m old,” Flair wrote on Instagram. “but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy life! I have earned the right to do whatever I want & I’m exactly where I want to be! I appreciate everything @tonyrkhan, but I’m more than willing to walk away if I am embarrassing you and your company. All I can say is I’m sorry!”
Ric Flair and Sting are currently advertised to appear on Friday’s episode of AEW Rampage.
