Ric Flair has gained an impeccable reputation as one of the greatest legends in wrestling history. ‘The Nature Boy’ has indulged in a successful professional career of almost half a century. In this illustrious career, he conquered more than 40 championships. Including 16 world titles (recognized by WWE). Only a select few can match The Nature Boy’s accolades and legacy. ‘The Icon’ Sting is one such superstar. So with the latter retiring, Flair has expressed his sadness at playing a part in Sting’s final match despite their storied history.

So much so that in a recent backstage segment, we saw him visiting the office of AEW AVP Matt and Nick Jackson.

Rick Flair demands more involvement and marches into The Young Bucks’ office

In tonight’s edition of Dynamite, Renee Paquette took a backstage interview of Ric Flair on his thoughts on The Icon’s retirement match. And having known the ‘Icon’ for decades and being in the same company when Sting was retiring, Rick Flair couldn’t help but express his disappointment at playing a minimal part in the final match of his peer. He said, “We’ve known each other so I’ll just be honest with you. I really don’t care if everybody likes it or not, I’m disappointed. When I signed up for this, I feel like I would be a bigger part of the picture. Does it make sense? I’m not upset with Sting the person or Sting The Icon, I’m just upset I’m not more involved. Probably a personal problem I have with myself. I feel like I should be right in the middle of everything. I haven’t been here for the last three or four weeks. So between you and me, I’m gonna explore some options.”

But what was more shocking came after he expressed his interest in being more involved. The ‘Nature Boy’ was seen entering the office of the Young Bucks. The tag team is the actual opponents of Darby Allin and Sting in his retirement match. So could we see the Nature Boy return to action on the icon’s final match?

Following his definitive retirement from professional wrestling, Ric Flair joined AEW in October of last year. ‘The Nature Boy’ debuted on the company’s programming on an episode of AEW Dynamite in October. Flair’s involvement came as a special surprise for Sting after he announced his retirement match at AEW Revolution. Since then, Flair’s few appearances have taken place as a sidekick for ‘The Icon’ in the final storyline of his career. And though it seems tough that Flair would be wrestling again, considering his age, fans expected a more decisive involvement.

The promised involvement hasn’t come to fruition and the WWE legend has taken it upon himself to get what he wants. Only time will tell how fate could change for Sting’s final match and what role Flair could play. We will just have to wait to find out at AEW Revolution. What do you make of Ric Flair’s words?
