Why is Ric Flair's career being tarnished?

See i personally don't think it is, Ric Flair is a character that believes his own hype and that makes you want to see him get shut up. They are over doing the blading in my opinion but that's TNA all over, so desperate to be different from the WWE a sneeze can result in blood. Ric Flair at the moment is playing a deluded old wrestler who still thinks he has what it takes to beat anyone in the world, that means when he gets into the ring he should be embarrassed. Does that really take anything away from his classic matches? His NWA title reigns? To me it doesn't because he's giving back to the business, he's used his name to put together Fortune and look how good they appear right now.

To me protecting your own legacy ahead of helping create a young wrestlers is the most selfish thing a wrestler can do. You've had your moment, you've sold out the arena's and you've held your championships... should you just walk away? Leave the next generation to face each other, face no one with any credibility? Ric Flair is using his career to draw attention to Styles, Kaz, Storm and Roode, everyone who remembers Ric Flair and tunes in randomly to see what he's like these days is exposed to AJ Styles. That's good for wrestling going forward, I don't care how good a legend use to be he needs to use everything he was to put the spot light on someone that still has more to come.

Ric Flair has Professional Wrestling in his blood, that being said, he will be 62 years old in 2 weeks. I want to see him as an On-Air Authority Figure. A Manager, but not as a Wrestler. His days in the ring as an Active Wrestler have passed. He needs to stop. If he's not ready to find other things to do with his life outside of Professional Wrestling, then I want to see his as an On-Air Authority Figure or Manager. He would also make a great Trainer, if TNA has a Wreslting School, which they don't, but could stand to have one. For the Nature Boy, being in the Ring is an adrenaline rush, that nothing else he tries to do has ever satisfied. He tried doing other things after he was beaten by Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XXIV and retired at Raw the next night, but nothing makes him happier than being in the ring and wrestling.

He can't return to the 80's because he was in his 30's then and he's in his 60's now. Like Bret Hart, he's erased his entire legacy and is continuing to make a laughing stock of himself with every appalling in-ring appearance. There's nothing to preserve now: he may as well keep going until he dies in the ring.
