SmackDown Rating, Ric Flair Speaks On His Departure

-- Wrestling Legend Ric Flair recently spoke to Charleston.net on his departure from the WWE. "No one respects the WWE more than me," Flair told Mike Mooneyham. Flair went on to say “They have created a remarkable brand in business and sports entertainment. I just felt it was time for Ric Flair to go out and try some new things. I was thinking that I need the right person to help me be successful in the next chapter of my life. And that person is (agent) Elaine Gillespie."

-- This past Friday’s edition of SmackDown scored a 2.4 Fast National rating. The final rating will be out later this week.
