WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair sent a heartfelt message to the Stamford-based company. The veteran thanked the wrestling promotion in a social media update today.
The 75-year-old is one of the most decorated performers in the history of professional wrestling. Flair has given fans many memorable moments over the 50 years of his in-ring career. During his time in WWE in the early 2000s, he was part of Evolution, a faction also featuring Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista.
Earlier today, Ric Flair took to his Instagram account to share an old video of The Game, the leader of Evolution, paying homage to The Nature Boy on an episode of Monday Night RAW. In the caption, he noted that respect was earned and not given. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer also thanked the promotion.
"Respect Is Earned, Not Given! Thank You WWE! WOOOOO," he wrote.

Ric Flair makes bold claim about Charlotte Flair's return from injury
Ric Flair's daughter and multi-time WWE Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair, has been away from the squared circle for over a year. The Queen sustained multiple injuries during a match against Asuka on the December 8, 2023, edition of Friday Night SmackDown. She underwent surgery and has been absent from WWE television since.
Speaking to Casual Conversations, the Hall of Famer claimed that Charlotte Flair was "the best worker in the business." He added that the 38-year-old's return from injury would be the "greatest storyline of all time."
"She is the best worker in the business, male or female. She never politics. In this horrible world of politics in the business, she doesn't kiss anybody's a**. She just gets better every day. She'll come back from this injury. It's stressing her out because she hasn't been hurt in a long time, but she's so muscled up. She'll come through the surgery, they'll put some stem cells in her, she'll come back, and it'll be the greatest storyline of all time. She and Bayley, IYO, Asuka. There are more people for her to wrestle. She has so much going on. I'm not knocking any of the other girls. Someone has to be the best. That's just the way it is," he said. [H/T : Fightful]
