The man known as "Nature Boy" did his trademark trick. He led the crowd in a chant. The legendary pro wrestler bled because of the red color on his face and hair.
The final wrestling match of "The Nature Boy" ended with the figure-four leglock, which is synonymous with "The Nature Boy." In a tag team match, the team of Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett were defeated by the team of partner and son-in-law, partner and son-in-law, partner and son-in-law, partner and son-in-law, partner, partner, partner The attendance was close to 10,000.
Even though he was exhausted by the end of his match, he walked out under his own power and did an interview with Tony Schiavone, who has been a wrestling commentator for over 30 years. After the match, he was helped out of the ring, and he greeted his family in the front row.
One of the best matches of his career was with Ricky Steamboat. My family is here as well. We made fun of me having five marriages. The children are here. All my granddaughters. People are here. I swear to the Almighty. Kid Rock entered the locker room tonight if I didn't have enough pressure on me.
The match took nearly 30 minutes to complete and, while it was clear that Flair was not the same man who dominated pro wrestling in the '70s, '80s and '90s, he was able to hold his own. He landed chops and punches, his donkey kick low blow, and even took a vertical suplex from Lethal, with whom he trained for this match.
The finish came when Jarrett, a legend in his own right, landed his signature guitar shot on Lethal accidentally. Conrad Thompson, the card's promoter, threw a pair of brass knuckles from the front row to the other son-in-law. After hitting a brass-knuckles shot on Jarrett, Flair put him in a figure-four leglock and ended the match.
The most important match of my career is this one. This is mind blowing. I have no idea what to say about this. Flair feels better than men his age. I think he's an inspiration to me.
The man known as "Nature Boy" is a two-time WWE Hall of Fame member. He's one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of the business and his fame has crossed over into the mainstream. A song written about him called "Ric Flair Drip" by Offset was used in a music video. He was the leader of the Four Horsemen, and his matches and work on the microphone are legendary. Many of his phrases are still used today.
Outside of the wrestling world, Flair's style and swagger -- complete with expensive suits, diamond-encrusted robes, eye-catching jewelry and crocodile-skin shoes -- have been mimicked.
A robe that was estimated to be almost $40,000 was worn by the wrestler. Things got more dirty at that point in time. A pro-wrestling technique that adds intensity to a match is when a pro wrestler takes a razor blade to his head. Lethal was worried about how a septuagenarian Flair would react to a cut.
Lethal is also a wrestler for AEW. I don't want to give too much away, but he likes to walk and talk. A lot of things are not planned. I know how a lot of the moves will turn out. I don't know how much he will bleed. Is it too much? We didn't have control of it.
He was emotional after the match.
"This is his last one, he's an executive in the company," said the Hall of Fame wrestler. It's on me if things go wrong. It is on other people. I don't know what to say. Y'all went home after watching it. It's a whole different level of pressure when you participate.
The ramp to the back was helped up by the man. The two men fell into a long embrace after Lethal came out. He trusted Lethal to get him ring- ready for his last match.
I'm trying to be like you when I grow up because you're great. Lethal said that he was the greatest wrestler in the world. He started to cry and said thank you. Thank you so much!
