After the WWE Hall of Famer’s emotional promo, Triple H and Vince McMahon came out to cut a short promo.
Ric Flair Cuts Emotional Promo at NWA 73, Thanks Vince McMahon and Triple H.
On Sunday night, at the NWA 73 pay-per-view, Ric Flair made his comeback to the National Wrestling Alliance. The 10-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion and NWA Hall of Famer thanked his wife, NWA President Billy Corgan, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels, among others, in an emotional promo to the crowd in St. Louis.
“”Vince McMahon, I adore you,” “The Nature Boy” expressed his gratitude to McMahon. Thank you very much. That is why I have come. Vince McMahon, on the other hand, isn’t going to see it, but he’ll hear about it. ‘Ric Flair is back where he belongs, with whomever he wants to be with on any given night,’ he’ll remark.”

Flair was allegedly granted his request for departure from the WWE in early August. Following that, he issued a statement on the matter, saying, “I Am Now Officially Able To Respond To All Press Involved With WWE’s Granting Of My Requested Release. I’d want to state unequivocally that I am not upset with WWE in the least. They are solely responsible for putting me in the life situation that I am in right now, where I am seen in the best light possible. We have opposing views about my future. I wish them nothing but success in the future! Thank you very much for everything. It’s all about respect!”
Flair hadn’t been on WWE television since his storyline with Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans was canceled when the latter revealed her pregnancy. The WWE Hall of Famer subsequently acknowledged in interviews that the whole angle made him uncomfortable, implying that he and Evans were in a physical connection.
Thank you for all of the wonderful years and memories, @NWA! It Was An Exceptionally Special Evening! I could have gone on for hours! @Billy, many thanks! WOOOOO!

“I didn’t [feel comfortable] in this situation,” Flair told Ariel Helwani in May. “One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t win a battle if someone has made up their mind.” She didn’t seem to enjoy it, but one thing I can say for myself is that I always say yes. I didn’t want to be the person who constantly said, ‘Oh, that’s not right for me.’
“I was furious when it was all done, but now I simply look back and think that wasn’t it. When I arrived to TV, Mr. McMahon wasn’t there to debate the issue with, and he was preoccupied with something else; I don’t like to put pressure on someone if I can’t speak to them “He went on to say more. “He simply made up his mind, and I believe it had a lot to do with the fact that [Lacey] was a marine. We can never provide enough to those who serve in the military, and I believe he wanted her to succeed, and sometimes the best way to succeed is to take two individuals who are doing very well and give them the rub.”
