One more time? There are very few wrestlers in history as famous as Ric Flair. Over a career that spanned the better part of forty years, Flair became one of the true icons of wrestling. This included more title reigns than anyone should be able to keep track of, plus a legacy of catchphrases and appearances that will never be matches. Flair also has a history of rivalries, and now he is working with one of his more infamous rivals.
Flair has posted a video to Instagram, showing himself in a ring with AEW’s Jay Lethal. The video shows the two training and taking bumps, including a slam and a headlock takeover. The video ends with the two exchanging WOO’s in a callback to their infamous segment in Impact Wrestling. Charlotte, Flair’s daughter, responded with a comment saying “Dad WTF.” Flair, 73 years old, has not wrestled since the September 15, 2011 episode of Impact Wrestling.
It was something else. Check out the Flair vs. Lethal video, plus their legendary WOO Off:
Opinion: Is this really surprising? Flair has always seemed like he is incapable of letting his career go and seems interested in having one more run. While I can’t imagine that Flair is going to get back in the ring at 73 years old, he does seem to love being able to do something like this one more time. It would be insane to let him wrestle again, but at least he isn’t likely to get hurt doing something like this.
