Day 1 AEW fans have a legitimate reason to be upset ….
…. back-to-back fails in less than 24 hours with Paul Wight and Ric Flair is the exact opposite of what AEW promised its fans
… We wanted an alternative

I understand why firing Punk makes sense and why that might be good business. Compensating with Adam Copeland and the hollowed out husk of Ric Flair is just sort of unfathomable to me.

such a fucking dumb decision. even if you were able to put all the history aside (you shouldn’t!), what the fuck does ric flair offer the company in 2023? how the hell is a multi-year deal for a man that can barely string a sentence together beneficial to business?

It's November 2nd, 2023 and AEW just announced that they signed Ric Flair to a multi-year contract.
A 74-year-old who can not wrestle, really walk, and has serious allegations.
Tony Khan has lost the plot recently. I'm shocked. It's a punch in the face

How do you feel about the Ric Flair news? Is he past the point of being able to contribute? Or is it another legend to move the promotion along? Let me know in the comments.
