On Monday, the WWE announced that Ric Flair and other members of the legendary 4 Horsemen will be inducted into the WWE HOF on Saturday March 31st. However, Flair is currently under contract with a rival promotion in TNA. Many wrestling fans have wondered if TNA will let Flair appear at the WWE HOF ceremonies, which will be televised. According to a Thursday January 12th report by The Wrestling Observer, Flair is expected to be at the HOF induction as not only did HHH call to inform him of the induction but Flair still maintains contact with Vince McMahon, which bodes well for a Flair return.
Flair was the face of the 4 Horsemen and embodied what the group stood for. Not having him appear at the induction would defeat the purpose of inducting the Horsemen. This will be the first time that McMahon inducts someone from a rival promotion and it should be no surprise that it's one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time in Ric Flair.
Flair's appearance at the WWE HOF induction is a win for TNA as it gives free advertisement to one of their contractual employees and helps to remind the wrestling world of some of Flair's greatest moments in this industry. Additionally, TNA should really use this induction as part of a storyline, obviously without mentioning the WWE's name.
