Former WWE on-screen name and 2x Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently revealed that he doesn’t “need” money and that he has already signed a new contract.

The ‘Man’ who many refer to as the greatest ever revealed on his podcast that he is under contract to a Sports company and that he is well off financially, despite leaving WWE earlier this year.

‘I made more money last week in the first week of our podcast than I made in my first year of wrestling in 1973, so I’ll be ok” Flair revealed on the ‘Wooooo Nation Uncensored’ podcast. “The day that I asked for my release, nobody fired me, I asked for it.

“I signed a contract that paid me more money for three years than I was making there, so let’s just leave it at that.’ Flair continued, ‘The guy I work for is Ryan Fiterman, Fiterman Sports in Houston, TX.  Money is not an issue.’
