5 former WWE Superstars who may never wrestle again

#1. WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has competed in thousands of matches throughout his wrestling career. Nevertheless, he may never compete again.

In 2017, The Nature Boy spent more than a month in the hospital due to kidney and heart issues. Doctors even placed him in a medically induced coma and gave him just a 20% chance of survival.

On his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, Flair recently disclosed that he would probably never wrestle again despite being medically cleared.

"Could I do it? Absolutely. I’m in better shape now than I was when Sting and I wrestled the last match on Nitro. WWE won’t let me do anything, even though I’m released. I understand, they have so much liability and I told them I would sign anything, but nobody wants me to die on their watch," he said.

The 16-time world champion had not competed since September 2011 when he went head-to-head against Sting on an episode of IMPACT Wrestling. However, Flair lost the bout.

Last August, WWE released The Nature Boy from his contract. He has since made a few appearances in other promotions, including Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and NWA.
