The celebration time for WWE legends is now as WWE Raw is so close to completing its 30th year. We have seen many legends make or break their careers on live television, and some of the biggest moments in wrestling history.

They deserve to celebrate this grand occasion, but it seems like Hulk Hogan won’t be among them as he declined to party with the 16-time World Champion, Nature Boy Ric Flair.

The wrestling legend who revolutionized wrestling has been one of the key figures in making Raw amazing throughout the years. But it is understandable that he would hit the brakes with alcohol at this age. But no one, not even aging, can calm down the Hulkster from going all in at the time of celebration.

He recalled, “My time had come and gone. I had just gotten out of the hospital and I hadn’t really drank that much at all. Hell, I was with Austin and I had 10 micheladas, went upstairs, and had an anxiety attack and I thought I was gonna die. I woke up and was fine, so I did it again the next day.

The two legends have been close allies, both behind and on-screen, since the two debuted. While Flair was clearing up the ranks with NWA and NJPW, Hogan was the poster child for WWE.

But their partnership flourished during the latter half of their careers when both were in WWE or TNA together.

Could Hogan and Ric Flair reunite anytime soon?

Seeing that Flair is ready to go all out with parties while still hoping to wrestle again is unthinkable. But seeing that Hogan is slowing down now, maybe we can see the two in the ring sometime? It might be wishful thinking, but lots of unthinkable things are happening in the wrestling world right now.
