Ric Flair Comments on WWE Departure
Ric Flair said he was forced to leave a $300,000 payday on the table when WWE prohibited him from appearing on a 30-city autograph signing tour of the old NWA promotions. "I just can't leave money on the table anymore," Flair told Charleston.net. He also stated that there are no hard feelings. "I'm 59 years old and I've never stood on my own two feet without wrestling," he said. "I need to find out if I can. Vince (McMahon) can't prop me up forever."
Flair also praised WWE. "I want everybody in the world to know that I love and respect the WWE," he continued. "They’ve helped me through so much of my life and have made me a better person. They recognized me and my family at Wrestlemania, and have propped me up and helped me as long as they can." To read the full story, visit Charleston.net.

Update on Walter "Killer" Kowalski
From Jamie Jamitkowski of Killer Kowalski's Pro Wrestling School:
In an effort to minimize inaccurate reports about Walter "Killer"
Kowalski, his wife has asked us to send a brief update:
Initial reports by Georgiann Makropolous were correct in that Walter did, in fact, have a heart attack late on Friday. At the time, he was revived, placed on life-support and transferred from the nursing facility to an area hospital. Friday night and Saturday were critical for Walter. As of Saturday evening, Walter was
responsive to those around him, including some visitors from the wrestling industry. He is still being assisted by medical equipment but certain vital signs have improved slightly. The medical staff is hoping that he will continue to stabilize.
Walter is still in serious condition and we can all only hope for continued improvement. His wife believes that his slight improvement is due to the thoughts and prayers that he has been receiving from around the world. She asks that everyone continue to pray for Walter.
