Does this still mean the same to you today than when it first aired?

I kind of believed for a second. I believed he was leaving mainstream television but if one was being logical, there was no way that was truly possible with his financial issues.

I just have to shake my head, it's a shame that one of the greatest of all time has become a complete joke. It doesn't take away from his body of work and influence but it overshadows what he has accomplished.

Nope. It doesn't. I don't agree with Naitch going to TNA and wrestling(which made the whole retirement thing/video package null and void), but considering he owes everyone and their momma money from Naitching, I understand.

I thought it would take him longer to go back to the ring but I NEVER thought he would really retire. And I find it shocking so many people believed he would never wrestle again.

That said, his match with Michaels and the farewell on RAW had me :to: and it's still powerful.

I couldn't watch it then. But I'm glad he didn't stay away long. Dude was mad entertaining in TNA :laugh:

Every one of his in-ring segments should've been called A Flair for fukkery.

Real talk, I think Flair's farewell segment in its entirety is probably the very best thing I've ever seen on a wrestling program.

And yeah of course he tarnished it when he continued to wrestle, and he's taken countless L's over the years, but I don't find it too hard to separate his WWE career from his TNA career. I look at them as two separate entities and I still see that farewell segment as his REAL goodbye to wrestling. It's still powerful television whenever I watch it. His emotional attachment was to WWE, so it was a genuine goodbye.

TNA was just business to him, although he still managed to be entertaining there.

On a related note, the major sports can only dream of matching WWE when it comes to honoring their legends.
