Since the announcement of Mickey Rourke backing out of Wrestlemania for the match against Chris Jericho, I have came to another thought that the legendary Ric Flair could possibly be Jericho’s replacement opponent instead. Notice when Jericho and Rourke were feuding together for a little bit, there was a lot of Ric Flair talk.

Although Ric Flair is a retired wrestler in real life right now, I think he’ll make his one last match at Wrestlemania against Jericho. I don’t think it’s possible that Jericho will take the World Champ belt from Cena, because John Cena will probably keep the belt until Wrestlemania.

The Wrestlemania 25 main event will indeed be Cena vs. Orton, so Jericho’s definitely out of the title shot at Wrestlemania even though Jericho will have a title shot at the next WWE PPV “No Way Out”.

I could be wrong again, maybe Jericho does have a chance at getting the title before Wrestlemania because there’s a few more WWE ppv’s before Wrestlemania. If Jericho does indeed become World Champion before Wrestlemania and faces Randy Orton at the main event, then maybe WWE will have Ric Flair as the special guest refferee for that match.

Ric Flair will probably make a short return to WWE to help stick up for his friend Mickey Rourke. In a storyline, Vince McMahon forced Ric Flair to retire by having a “retirement” match against Shawn Michaels on a ppv. In real life, Ric Flair really wanted to retire.

Even though Vince hates Flair in a storyline and would not want Flair back in WWE, there is still a way for the writing team to bring Flair in, like maybe have Shane or Stephanie McMahon sign Flair to Wrestlemania. I think it’s a possibility that Flair will be coming back to WWE to confront Jericho while he’s on the journey for the World Champ.
