WWE Hall of Famer and Wrestling icon Ric Flair was recently giving sage advice to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The 73-year-old is a “stylin’, profilin’ and limousine riding” Atlanta Falcons fan and shared his thoughts on the Packers QB and his future in the NFL. The 16-time world champion is also a fan of Rodgers and his contributions to the game over the years.

During his appearance on the Ric Flair Wooooo Nation Uncensored and talking about Rodgers and his impending decision, Flair states, “He definitely shouldn’t retire. I don’t know what he’s thinking. I am a big fan. It looks like they are going to do everything possible to keep him in Green Bay.

He adds that if the Packers manage to retain both wide receivers, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams, he would suggest Rodgers stay on with the team.

In the past, the wrestling icon has been associated with calling out the Packers when they faced the Falcons in the NFC Championship game in 2017. Luckily on that occasion, it was Flair’s Falcons who won the game but unfortunately fell short of winning the Super Bowl LI. Flair and his co-host Mark Madden, though, made notable points about the Packers-Rodgers situation.
