Though Flair remains listed as a member of the TNA roster on the company's official website, his contract was terminated in May after he failed to appear at events he was scheduled for.

Sting: Jeff Hardy Has A Lot To Prove
Wrestling icon Sting has welcomed Jeff Hardy back to the business — but insists it will take time for the former addict to regain the trust of his colleagues.
Hardy was booted out of TNA Wrestling after getting wasted before the main event of the Victory Road PPV in March.
The state the former world champion was in left the Stinger with little choice but to end their headline bout after just 90 seconds.
Hardy was sent home in disgrace and ordered to get help or forget about ever setting foot inside a TNA ring again.
Having vowed that he had cleaned up his act, the fallen idol was allowed to return to the company last month.
And Sting believes a clean and fully focused Hardy can only be good for the wrestling business...More?

Sting Comments on the Situation with Jeff Hardy at Victory Road
In an interview that he did on 4/8 with The Daily Star, Sting addressed the finish of his match with Jeff Hardy at Victory Road, which was cut short due to Hardy not being in condition to perform.
About Hardy Sting said, "I love Jeff Hardy. I don't want to do anything to harm him. He has personal issues, everyone knows that. But some things are true and some are not. What is true is that it all came to a head that week and hit really big that night. I hated what happened because I wanted to give fans a great match. But I realize it had to happen the way it did."
Once the match was over, he was concerned about Hardy saying, "And after all was said and done I came to the back and made sure he was OK. He is OK and he's been talking to people close to him a lot. Jeff is getting stronger. He's riding 10 miles a day on his mountain bike to get in condition, I hear! Good luck to him."
He also talked about coming back to TNA after his contract had expired. You can read the full interview here.
