"I will never retire"

Ric Flair: "There's a reason that I haven't been on Raw for six months. Cause I know and you know that my wrestling career can't go on forever. So I've taken the opportunity to get myself involved in statewide politics. I've opened my own marketing company. I've had a lot of time to ponder my future. But I know sooner or later there'll be a time for me to retire. I've compared myself to the great Cal Ripkin Jr., the iron man of baseball. Even to Brett Favre who to this day is playing better than any quarterback in the NFL. But tonight right here in Charlotte, North Carolina, and in front of the world, I have to announce to you … [Flairs Gesichtsausdruck schwenkt von betrübt in euphorisch] THAT I WILL NEVER RETIRE! I WILL ONLY RETIRE WHEN I'M DEAD IN THIS RING! OVER MY DEAD BODY! I'VE GOT TOO MUCH JUICE LEFT! I’m The Nature Boy. I love this business. I'm going nowhere. Thank you! Whooo!"
