Ric Flair sends heartfelt birthday message to WWE Hall of Famer
Ric Flair sent a heartfelt birthday message to a WWE Hall of Famer today on social media. The Nature Boy has not competed since the Ric Flair's Last Match event in 2022.
Famous rapper Snoop Dogg celebrated his 53rd birthday today. He has also made several appearances at professional wrestling events over the years and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016. The legend hit The Miz with a People's Elbow in an impromptu match at WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles after Shane McMahon got injured.
Flair took to Instagram today to send Snoop Dogg a birthday message and included a photograph of them together.
"Happy Birthday To My Brother @snoopdogg! WOOOOO," wrote Flair.
Flair spent some time in All Elite Wrestling but his deal with the promotion expired earlier this year.
Former WWE manager challenges Ric Flair to unique match
Wrestling legend Dutch Mantell recently pitched an interesting idea for a match against Ric Flair.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Mantell jokingly suggested that he and Flair could have a match. He suggested a "First Man Standing Match", and the first star to their feet would be named the victor.
Mantell hilariously added that he would just need a TV so he could watch Netflix as well.
"I'll challenge Ric Flair to a match. My last match too by the way. This will be Flair's last match. It's called First Man Standing. We'll just two chairs and put it in the ring and the first man to his feet wins. I'll just need a TV so I can watch Netflix and all that. Just get Ric a case of beer so he can sit there and knock that down. Both of us will see if we can get up, move around and just get out of the ring. So, that's my challenge to Flair," he said. [From 58:21 onwards]
You can check out the video below for Mantell's comments:
Flair teamed up with his son-in-law, Andrade El Idolo, to defeat Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal in his final match in 2022. It will be interesting to see if the 75-year-old returns to WWE television sometime down the line.
