Ric Flair Asks To “Wake Up Tomorrow” and Move On After String Of Controversial Comments

Ric Flair is now trying to reset the narrative after months of controversy, posting a message that comes across as him wanting people to move on from the backlash over his recent interviews and social media comments.

The latest update centers on a new post from Ric Flair on April 29, where he acknowledged making incorrect assumptions while also calling for peace and less negativity online. The message arrived after a series of incidents that included public comments about Ludwig Kaiser, earlier tension involving Jim Ross, and other statements that have drawn heavy criticism. Flair admitted he made mistakes but also appeared to ask for a clean slate moving forward despite the backlash that followed his earlier remarks.

“I Have Apologized, And I Have Retracted Statements. I Have Made Assumptions That Are Incorrect. I Acknowledge Everything That I Have Said. Can We Just Wake Up Tomorrow & Let Ric Flair Be Ric Flair. I Am 77 With A Heart Condition And Nothing Is Ever Guaranteed.”

Flair continued by addressing the criticism he has received online, arguing that social media has made it easier for people to attack public figures while defending his decades-long legacy in wrestling.

“Let’s Just All Be At Peace! If You Look At Social Media, People Love To Attack Every Celebrity Online Without Using Their Real Name. I’m Ric Flair. Take Me For Who I Am. The People Who Know Me Know How Hard I’ve Worked My Entire Life To Achieve My Level Of Success. That Is Not Up For Debate.”

This comes after Flair shifted tone earlier in the week by publicly apologizing to Ludwig Kaiser following his claims that threats toward Kaiser led to him being kept away from WrestleMania — a story later questioned by reports indicating WWE sources did not recall the incident he described.
