Ric Flair Calls Out WWE Over Lack of Wrestlers’ Union Despite $9 Billion Sale
Ric Flair criticized WWE for not having a wrestlers' union despite the company's $9 billion sale, speaking on the Legally Goff Podcast on March 11, 2026. Flair noted that wrestlers are classified as independent contractors who must buy their own health insurance for issues outside the ring, calling the lack of a union "unheard of for a billion-dollar company." He referenced WWE's 2023 merger with Endeavor to form TKO Group Holdings in the roughly $9 billion deal.
