As we reported yesterday, it appears as if WWE doesn’t have any concrete plans for Ric Flair at the moment, and as a result he was pulled from this week’s Smackdown tapings. PWInsider.com reports Flair was originally scheduled to appear at the show, which emanated from Fayetteville, North Carolina, but when the show was re-written Tuesday morning the decision was made not to bring Flair in for the show.

Flair has signed a new deal with WWE, and is officially “back” with the company, but as of now his TV appearances are scheduled to be sporadic, and he will appear now and then leading up to SummerSlam and beyond.

Stick his ass with HEELZiggler, that would be an epic tandem. Ric could talk and build Zigger up as The Show Off...it's simple. Ziggler can talk some but bulk be carried by Flair. I'd watch.
