Ric Flair has quit WWE over frustration with his push and a lack of any encouraging communication from the front office.
There are now discussions to try to talk him into cooling off and agreeing to not quit.
His situation doesn't appear to be at all related to the suspensions, although he's now more valuable with some names being gone for a month.
If things don't work out, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Flair could be offered a sweet and tempting deal to be part of TNA's two hour launch. TNA is interested and aware of the situation.
WK ANALYSIS: Flair would be a good fit with TNA. Since TNA lost out on Mick Foley and Chris Jericho, they have roster room and the budget to pay Flair. At first, it might seem like a bad fit for Flair - and there's plenty left for him to do in WWE - but in TNA he has some compelling programs he could work:
--Flair vs. Sting in some form or fashion, followed or preceded by Sting & Flair as a team.
--Flair vs. Angle.
--Flair vs. Joe (just to say it happened).
--Flair vs. Jarrett (they could strut together!)
--Flair vs. Abyss (Flair could bump onto glass and tacks)
--Flair vs. Christian (imagine the promos beforehand)
--And perhaps eventually lead a group of younger wrestlers in a faction with only occasional in-ring appearances.
--Any of the above matches or feuds could also work in a tag team situation, which would put less pressure on Flair at his age to carry an entire match.
As for Flair hating Vince Russo, Jim Cornette hated Russo a lot more than Flair, and they've co-existed (barely) this long.
But I think the temptation to work one more WrestleMania and be in good Hall of Fame standing will tempt him to back down on quitting.
He'll make nice money either place, so he should be fine in that respect. Might make more in TNA, in fact, given how little WWE values Flair. Flair knows that and isn't going to appreciate having to quit to get their attention and respect.
