Booker T: ‘Ric Flair, Sting, You Know One for Old Time Sake. Let’s Go Out There and Do It Just One Last Time’

On the latest “Hall of Fame” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T gave his thoughts on Sting announcing his retirement and Ric Flair signing a multi-year deal with AEW. Flair has since confirmed to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio that he’s signed for 2 years.

Booker T was asked if the perfect send off for Sting would be to wrestle Ric Flair:

“You know what? I think that might be the perfect send off. Let’s do it. I mean, Ric Flair, Sting, you know one for old time sake. Let’s go out there and do it just one last time. Let’s walk that aisle one last time. Let’s style and profile, woo, one more time. Limousine riding, jet fling, woo, son of a gun. If that was to happen, just like Ric Flair’s last last match, I think it had eight or 9,000 people that showed up. If Ric Flair and Sting stepped in the ring one more time, they may have 20,000 people. 20,000 might want to come out and witness that spectacle just one more time. Just one more time Ric Flair makes that walk down the aisle just one more time with the Stinger, one more time, not just the Crow Sting. I think if you’re gonna do it, he got to go back to the old Sting (surfer Sting).”

On AEW signing Ric Flair to a multi-year deal:

“There’s a lot of value left in Ric Flair. I mean, just his image alone. He’s doing so many things right now. At the age he is, he may be the oldest guy in wrestling that still walks through the airport with no wheelchair, no walker, none of that. I remember that conversation I told you I had with a Ric Flair around WrestleMania one time. Ric Flair told me that he would never retire, never gonna quit and I believe him. I believe him because this is who he is. It’s what he does, and then to bring that brand to AEW, it’s gonna help those guys. It’s gonna help them a whole lot.”
