More on Ric Flair's WWE release, reached out to Vince McMahon directly
Added 2021-08-02 16:06:11 +0000 UTCFightful and Wrestling Inc jointly reported today that Ric Flair has requested his WWE release and it was granted by the company.
WWE sources have indicated that Flair grew frustrated with certain booking decisions on the show, and contacted Vince McMahon directly about it to voice his issues.
Flair hadn't been on WWE programming in quite some time, but we're told the booking issues he didn't like were fairly recent. Flair had been outspoken about his disdain of the Lacey Evans storyline earlier this year.

I just wish he'd take Charlotte with him.

2021-08-02 22:31:06 +0000 UTCCould not have been happy about the way his future son-in-law was treated either. Andrade is so money.

2021-08-02 16:58:59 +0000 UTCAnother one and Vince just dose not care. Its a shame. Ric Flair deserve to be booked better than what he got.

2021-08-02 16:56:55 +0000 UTCLol WWE is making record profits. WCW was losing millions of dollars a year. Huge difference in that analogy

2021-08-02 16:52:08 +0000 UTCWe all now WWE are doing budget cuts, but with Ric Flair asking for his release and the morale of the wrestlers being low, is it at all feasible that Vince steps down?
Brian The Dean
2021-08-02 16:51:56 +0000 UTCJust want him to go to AEW solely because TK will pay for Ric Flair Drip as his theme

2021-08-02 16:48:29 +0000 UTCThey should portray him like he’s the untouchable godfather of pro wrestling. Have Tully deem MJF finally worthy after the labors of Jericho and he meets Flair and gets that co-sign.

2021-08-02 16:48:01 +0000 UTCSoon they will sink faster than WCW did! But in a worst way that WWE themselves can’t recover from!
2021-08-02 16:42:44 +0000 UTCI’m assuming this has to do with Charlotte, I don’t see him being upset with the booking in general.

2021-08-02 16:20:11 +0000 UTCWhat is going on in WWE. Such a dumpster fire.

2021-08-02 16:19:55 +0000 UTCThe guy is 72 years old. How about just letting him enjoy his twilight rather than spending it doing the same thing he’s been doing for 40+ years?
Joel Wood
2021-08-02 16:16:38 +0000 UTCCool, Andrade needs a larger entourage and Ric can be treated with some actual respect in his twilight.
Tony Bologna
2021-08-02 16:13:24 +0000 UTCWait, he DIDN'T sign off on that Lacey Evans storyline? Can't believe he didn't walk then. Good for him for doing it now.
2021-08-02 16:10:32 +0000 UTCHorsemen now available to reunite on Dynamite! Woooo!
Michael Adams
2021-08-02 16:09:21 +0000 UTCYet another member of the roster who asks for their release due to frustrations with WWE creative... Should tell you everything you need to know about the creative process in WWE today
Luis Pulido
2021-08-02 16:09:08 +0000 UTCHe probably is hating how his daughter is getting booked..
Busby
2021-08-02 16:08:21 +0000 UTCLol at this point wwe deserves all the hate it gets
