Ric Flair recently had his final match
Ric Flair recently came out of retirement to wrestle a tag team match alongside his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo. In his last match, The Nature Boy faced Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal on July 31 this year in a winning effort.
The match's final moments saw Flair pick up brass knuckles and use them to knock out Jarrett. The legend trapped the latter in the Figure-Four Leglock and subsequently scored a three-count.
After the match, the 16-time world champion greeted his near and dear ones at ringside. Among them were former WWE Superstars Mick Foley, Bret Hart, and The Undertaker.
Flair did not have an easy time during his last match. He revealed that he had passed out twice due to dehydration. He had also been suffering from plantar fasciitis before the match.
We are glad that he emerged from the bout relatively unscathed. We hope he can look back on his illustrious career and revel in his countless achievements.
