With all of the "We Want Flair" chants and signs that have been witnessed at 
WCW events since Ric Flair's departure this idea you have is totally 
unfounded.  If anything, Ric will come home to WCW bragging about taking it 
to the little men of WWF.  Running Hulk Hogan out of wrestling, running
Ultimate Warrior out of wrestling, beating all of WWF's best in the rumble 
that won him the title.  Being cheated out of the title by one of WWFs 
"best" Randy Savage but then regaining both it and the mans wife to boot.
And now he's returned home to the real competition, to the true call to 
glory...WCW.  Cause weather you like it, or don't like it, learn to love it 
cause its the greatest thing going  t-day.  Whoooooo!

Oh no my friend, they're going to twist the WWF events with Slick Ric to a 
huge welcome home party for the Nature Boy.  That assumes of course that 
Cowpie takes his head out of Repo Boy II's butt long enough to take 
advantage of it.

It would probably be more interesting.  I'm getting rather tired of seeing

Being that pussy is regarded by heterosexual males as the ticket to heaven. 
I have often wondered why they use it against other men as derogatory.

He was a jobber as a bad guy single.  So in fact he got his just deserts so 
to speak.  But in SMW he is a good guy tag team partner a so deserves to be 
returned to his former glory.  

Previous jobber status I have found have little effect on established fan 
favorites if they drop out of sight for a while and then reappear.
