Ric Flair Says He’s Very Happy With His Last Match
On July 31, Ric Flair stepped into the ring one last time when he teamed with Andrade El Idolo to take on Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal.
Flair, 73, was victorious in the bout, forcing Jarrett to submit with the figure four. During the bout, Flair hit his trademark chops, showed why he’s dubbed the “dirtiest player in the game,” and even bled.
Speaking to Lucha Libre Online, Flair was asked about his last match.
“I’m very happy with it. I needed to give it one more shot. I feel like I didn’t go out the right way, and to have the relationship now that I do with Andrade, with Charlotte, to have a son-in-law like him to be a tag team partner, for him to tag with me and have the whole family there and his family, who I’ve gotten to know well, it was big for all of them. It was especially big for me because my entire family was there and the only person to get an opportunity to do that twice. Once in 2008 with Shawn Michaels and now with my son-in-law in Nashville, it was big,” he said.
Flair’s Last Match drew a gate of over $448,000 and over 24,000 buys on PPV.
Flair was in the corner of Andrade for his bout against Carlito at World Wrestling Council’s 49th Anniversary show on Saturday. During the bout, Flair and Carlos Colon got physical.
