Flaired Out: Time to Retire

Interesting opinion from a fan about Ric Flair's retirement that unfortunately I agree with:

Being a legend in any field gives one a certain number of abilities. You can get free meals, gifts, respect, the love of endless fans… But of them, the worst to exploit is not knowing when to let go. Michael Jordan’s return to the NBA with the Washington Wizards was a disaster by any stretch when put side-by-side with his previous work, and were it not for the overwhelming nature of his legend, it might have been remembered as one of the worst decisions in sports. A similar situation can be found playing out right now in the world of Sports Entertainment. Last night I watched a rather bland “street fight” between Vince McMahon and Ric Flair, and it became obvious that Flair’s time is dangerously close to being up...More?
