Ric Flair possibly teases in-ring return, says he'll never retire
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has taken to social media and stated that he will never retire from the wrestling business.
Flair wrestled his last match at the tail end of July this year. In that match, The Nature Boy and son-in-law Andrade El Idolo took on the team of Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal.
During the match, Flair even bled and reportedly passed out twice due to dehydration. Despite Starrcast Events and Jim Crockett Promotions promoting the event as Ric Flair's Last Match, The Nature Boy still teased an in-ring return, only a short time after the event.

One fan called Flair "old yeller" in reference to his initial retirement feud with Shawn Michaels in 2008.

One fan called The Nature Boy the best to ever do it.
@RicFlairNatrBoy @HitmanMichael22 Arguably the best to ever do it.
