• Ric Flair Reveals His WWE Return Date
On the latest episode of his podcast, Ric Flair revealed that he will return to WWE on the 30th anniversary episode of RAW.
RAW 30 will take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on January 23, 2023. This will be the final RAW before Royal Rumble 2023.
Below are the highlights of some of the things Flair discussed on his podcast:
Returning to WWE TV at RAW 30:
“I’ve been invited and it’s a f**king big deal. Why, because it’s RAW and it’s a big f**king deal. I’m on it, hell yeah, are you kidding me? 30 years.”
Royal Rumble 2023:
“I’m gonna be there. They didn’t say don’t tell anybody.”
Aaron Dean Eisenberg portraying him in ‘The Iron Claw’ movie:
“I don’t know much about him, but I know they called me to talk to him on the phone and I was traveling and never got to talk to him, so I haven’t met and I haven’t talked to him.
But I’ll tell you this, if they do an accurate depiction of what the Von Erich family went through, this is going to be one of the greatest stories ever told in wrestling history because there was so much damn history with that family.”

Today would have been the 76th birthday of Old School World Wrestling Federation Manager “Luscious Johnny V” Johnny Valiant (Real name: John L. Sullivan).
Most 80s WWF Fans will remember him as the manager of ‘The Dream Team’ Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake & Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, ‘The New Dream Team’ Dino Bravo & Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, as well as being the first manager of Demolition, before Mr. Fuji took over.
Johnny and his kayfabe brother “The Boogie Woogie Man” Jimmy Valiant got inducted into the WWF Hall of Fame (now WWE Hall of Fame) in 1996 by The British Bulldog & Owen Hart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE
