"Could it get any bigger than that?" – Wrestling veteran nominates WWE Hall of Famer as Ric Flair's last opponent (Exclusive)
Vince Russo believes that WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler could be a viable opponent for Ric Flair's last match.
Flair will grace the ring one last time at the "Jim Crockett Promotions Presents: Ric Flair's Last Match" wrestling event on July 31. The event will emanate from the Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN.
Speaking on this week's episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo suggested that Flair could face off against Lawler in an encounter dubbed as the Last Match for both legends. He likened the event to a Beatles concert and said that the match would be one for the ages.
Here's what Russo had to say:
"What about if they killed two birds with one stone? What about if it were Lawler? My gosh! That's like going to see the Beatles, right? Lawler vs. Flair. Last match for both of them? I mean, my gosh, could it get any bigger than that?" (From 7:33 - 7:50)
