Raw News: WWE announces Ric Flair to be part of Evolution reunion on next week's anniversary show Dec 7, 2007 - 1:35:07 AM
WWE.com has announced Ric Flair will be part of Evolution reunion on next week's anniversary show. Flair was not mentioned on this week's Raw after being the centerpiece of last week's Raw. Then he was not announced as being part of next week's Raw until this story, despite being one of the original main eventers (he headlined two of the first three Raws, in fact) and being a big part of it over the years.
Keller Analysis: It's still too bad at this point in his career that he's not treated in the same way as Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin are, as in his own ways he was every bit as big of a star as them during the last 25 years, with one getting the nod over the two based entirely on the criteria being used to place them in a certain order. Flair was definitely a bigger part of the actual Raw show over the years than Hogan, who was usually on Nitro or Smackdown during the Raw years.
