For years Ric Flair teased a potential return to the ring, and this weekend it’s finally going to happen when he teams up with Andrade El Idolo to face Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal in Nashville.
The match in Nashville is being advertised as The Nature Boy’s final match, but it’s not like he doesn’t have the option to keep going. Recently Flair appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet and he revealed that he’s already been offered 10 more matches.
“It has to be [my last match]. That question, I get asked a lot. It will just have to be. Even if I do real well, I can’t go back on my word to the people that have given me all this respect and time and have bought tickets. I’ve already been offered 10 matches at 50 grand a piece. Over in Europe, a guy offered me $100,000. This will be the last one. I can manage somebody in the ring, but this will be my last match.”
Originally Ric Flair retired when he was defeated by Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24. However, he came out of retirement in 2009 to compete on the Hulkamania tour. He last wrestled in 2011 when he faced Sting in Impact Wrestling. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
