Wrestling WWE WWE Hall of Fame Impact Wrestling Ric Flair Hulk Hogan
From Bondi Beach, Australia to Japan, Canada, the USA - most of the world knows of Ric Flair.
Flair is almost as famous as long time rival Hulk Hogan, who along with Flair is currently under contract to Impact Wrestling. Most would argue that Flair is one of the greatest pro wrestlers in history, while Hogan has earned more income from wrestling and wrestling related activities than just about anyone else.
The last memory of Ric Flair for many people was the night after WrestleMania 24 when he "retired" into the sunset. Maybe only Flair knows for sure if he thought he had retired for real back then.
This past Monday's WWE Raw, the Four Horsemen—Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham, Arn Anderson and Ric Flair—were announced as inductees for the 2012 Hall of Fame.
Ric Flair's inclusion has got the industry and fans talking given "The Nature Boy" is currently under contract with another wrestling organisation.
Ric Flair himself confirms he will be present at the American Airlines Arena the night before WrestleMania 28.
Speculation on how all of this came about is rife.
Did the WWE negotiate a deal with Impact Wrestling so that the 16-time world heavyweight champion could make a one-night appearance?
If such a deal wasn't made, did Flair take it upon himself to commit to show up?
Let's assume a deal wasn't reached between the two companies...it's possible that Flair being shown on WWE TV may have have legal ramifications.
Could WWE top brass Vince McMahon be looking to take over Impact Wrestling, just as he did with WCW and ECW?
Wrestling fans the world over are glued for this developing story and Media Man will be following up.
