A Ric Flair promo taped for tomorrow’s Rampage might have to be edited after receiving a lot of backlash online following the publication of spoilers.
The Nature Boy appeared with Sting on Rampage and during the promo, the 74-year-old Flair invited those women between 18 and 28 who have no boyfriends and no husbands to go meet him in his hotel room.
While some have defended Flair for being, well, the usual Ric Flair, many did not like what they heard or read and are hoping that Flair’s comments do not make it on the air.
Flair recently signed a multi-year deal with AEW and has his Wooooo! Energy Drink plastered all over AEW events.
This is the most offensive thing since the last offensive thing.
These people complaining about it are turds. Yes what he said is silly but to cry about it to the point you have to edit his promos is pathetic.
I can’t decide which one is more pathetic. The fact that he’s in his seventies, and still acts like that, or the people who get offended by everything.
You can say “that’s just Flair being Flair” and wish he hadn’t said it. Nuanced thought is possible.
@Joseph
The latter. Sheer numbers. There are more of them than there are of him.
So could someone please explain to me what exactly he did that could be construed as offensive? Is it because he only invited women? Did he discriminate men (and whatever other new genders there are out there now)? Is something like this considered homophobic? Or somethingelsephobic? Or maybe it was the wives and girlfriends that got upset? Please help me understand, I feel so out of touch…
@Luke–My guess is it’s that a 74 year old is trying to hook up with an 18 year old. I just roll my eyes, but it is kinda pervy. It also shows that what worked decades ago doesn’t work today.
@art123guy
I’m not defending Flair, I don’t think the promo would have sold any tickets or drawn any money. Dumb? Sure. I mean, how many women watch AEW? But offensive? I need logic and it seems like the PC bandwagoners are too dumb to provide any.
On a side note, did anyone come to the hotel?
Same folks that are losing their mind over this, are the same ones that popped for the angle Vince did with Trish Stratus years ago.
