Ric Flair took to social media on Tuesday to publicly call out WWE after he says he was informed that he is no longer allowed to be associated with apparel company Roots of Fight per WWE.
In a post on X, Flair vented frustration about what he framed as WWE attempting to “destroy” and “diminish” his legacy.
“I Woke Up This Morning To Find Out That I’m No Longer Allowed To Be With @rootsoffight Per @WWE,” Flair wrote. “Let Me Think- I’m The Only Wrestler To Ever Be On 30 For 30 & Ranked In The Top 25 Of All Time, An Emmy Nominated Documentary- Courtesy Of The WWE, Which I Should Have Won But I Lost To A Team Not An Individual.”
Flair then referenced his 21 World Championships and a past financial situation involving Vince McMahon. “21 World Championships, But I Always Played By Your Rules And Kept It At 16. Paid Vince McMahon Back 800k When He Said He Would Forgive It. I Honored It.”
Flair listed off his current business ventures and gave a shoutout to AEW President Tony Khan. “Fortunately, I Still Make 1 Million Dollars From The GREAT Ryan Fiterman @FitermanSports. 500k From Ric Flair Drip. And Thank God For @TonyKhan.”
Flair closed the post with a direct message to WWE.
“What More Of My Legacy Do You Want To Destroy WWE? You All Grew Up Loving Me And I Set The Bar. Now You Are Trying To Kill Me And Diminish My Legacy. Thank You, But It Ain’t Happening. Nice Try. LFG!”
WWE has not publicly commented on Flair’s post at the time of this writing.
