It's Damn Real!
The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
It's official: Naitch is back; but it sure as hell ain't with Fortune — not after what happened on iMPACT! tonight.
For those of you who didn't watch (why are you even reading this if you don't watch the show?), Flair returned during the opening of iMPACT! to remind a very inquisitive and demanding Eric Bischoff of the fact Ric is still a wrestling god and that no one tells him what to do or where to do it. He followed up the segment later with a friendly reunion with Fortune, even "Icing" them in "vintage" Fortune style.
But the love-fest was short lived, as Bischoff wanted answers, and he seemingly got the one he wanted when Flair cost AJ Styles his match against Matt Hardy by pushing him off the top rope, effectively turning on Fortune in the process. He even threw up the Fortune sign upside down, shades of the old "Fuck the 4 Horsemen".
At the close of iMPACT!, Flair accepted AJ Styles' challenge to face him next Thursday.

Thoughts on Ric's return and the swerve? How does this affect the playing field between Fortune & Immortal?

** MODERATORS NOTE **
Just so we are clear here, since there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy from a few users who are upset over this thread being a "spoiler", TNA iMPACT! airs in the US, where it it filmed, where it's parent company resides and where it's actually based out of on Thursday nights, which means if you live in Australia, or the UK, or Zimbabwe, or anywhere where the programming doesn't air until after the fact, you should simply avoid reading the forums until the show airs for you.
Spoilers are defined as information revealed prior to an event airing, which means once iMPACT! has aired here in the States, the information is fair-game. You cannot expect everyone to wait until the Tuesday following it's airing here to discuss the events that happened just so nothing is spoiled for you — sorry. You likely know well enough not to go to tnawrestling.com between the hours of 11pm on a Thursday night (Eastern time), and when the programming airs locally for you, so honestly you should be doing the same thing for the TNA forum here (where that information might otherwise be spoiled for you) as well.
If you have any issues with this, feel free to PM me so this thread isn't SPAMMED with complaints. Thanks.
