Ric Flair is ready and willing to take a bump through a table and other high-risk spots now that he has signed with All Elite Wrestling.
Flair’s multi-year deal with the promotion was announced yesterday and will also see his ‘Wooooo!’ Energy drink become the official energy drink beverage of AEW.
Speaking with Marc Raimondi of ESPN, Flair shared his reasoning for being open to taking serious bumps as part of AEW. He said,
“I’m trying to think of anyone who’s anywhere near my age that hasn’t had knee replacements, shoulder replacements, hip replacements, and I don’t have any of that, and I don’t hurt. I’m not real flexible because I’ve torn my rotator cuff three times. But I don’t hurt; that’s the key. So what the hell, they want to throw me through a table? I’m up for it.”
Flair made his AEW debut last week as Tony Khan’s ‘gift’ to Sting. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer has yet to be announced for any upcoming shows.
