He obviously old and slow.

But find a 70 old who can take a body slam and still keep working out :whoo:

Flair never falls on his back. Always on the side of hks back and hip.

I wonder if it's bc of his plane accident breaking his back

Details on Ric Flair's opponents for his return to the ring

As was reported earlier, Ric Flair’s training with Jay Lethal is going to lead to him coming out of retirement. Flair plans on wrestling again.

Dave Meltzer said the following on Wrestling Observer Radio: “He is planning to wrestle again, yes. I don’t know more details. He told me it was a secret but the rumor has it [that it’s] Ric Flair and FTR against The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express and somebody. A match that he is training for [but] not right away. I guess it will get announced when it gets announced if it happens. Something like this could fall through, he could get hurt in training.”

Meltzer said that he’s not happy about this at all but this is pro wrestling. Meltzer mentioned Flair’s age and the health issues from years ago as reasons why he’s not thrilled about this. Meltzer and Flair have been friends since 1989.

There have been a handful of wrestlers who have stepped in the ring in the same age range as Flair. Jerry “The King” Lawler still wrestles on independent shows but WWE won’t allow him to take bumps on their shows because he almost died on an episode of Raw in 2012.

When asked if the match will happen on an independent show, Meltzer stated, “I don’t know” but he knows that Flair is planning for the match and it might just be that he wants to do it for fun or perhaps, there is a promoter with deep pockets who is willing to pay Flair for one more match.

WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair has confirmed he will be making his in-ring return for one final match on July 31st for Jim Crockett Promotions.

The Nature Boy announced the news on Twitter by writing:

“The Rumors Are True! I’m Going To Walk That Aisle, Style And Profile, One Last Time! July 31st! Nashville, Tennessee! Jim Crockett Promotions! I Will Prove Once Again, That To Be The Man, You’ve Got To Beat The Man! Now We Go To School! WOOOOO! TIX: RicFlairsLastMatch.com

Rumors of Ric Flair making his return to the ring had begun after he shared a video of himself training with Jay Lethal online. Flair was seen taking bumps, and getting himself back in ring shape, and it is now clear why. According to a report by PWInsider, the current plan is for Flair to be involved in a multi-man match. It is unknown whether that would also feature AEW’s Lethal or not. No official opponents have been confirmed at this time.

That report added that Ric Flair has been training hard for this match, as he wants to look good when stepping back inside the squared circle. As of right now, the match is being promoted as the final one of his career. The last time he competed in a match was for TNA, back in 2011. The Nature Boy defeated Sting on that occasion.

Flair’s final WWE match famously happened at WrestleMania 24 against Shawn Michaels.

The event will be taking place in Nashville, just one day after WWE’s SummerSlam, which will also be in Nashville. The show is set to be available to watch via FITE TV for fans who cannot attend live.

Even though Ric Flair’s in-ring return has now been confirmed, that does not mean everyone is supportive of it. Former WCW announcer Chris Cruise made a public appeal to stop the Hall Of Famer from being able to wrestle due to his age and various health issues.
