If there is someone who is the face of wrestling, that is Ric Flair. The man has given his life and soul to the sport and the fans recognized him as the king even before he joined WWE.
But earlier this year, his One Last Match PPV was a bit harmful to his legacy. Performing at 73 didn’t only mean that his quality in the ring was worse than ever, but people were concerned about his life.

But putting everything aside, Flair wrestled and risked his life and career on the line. While it made for an amazing storyline, it wasn’t the most appreciated thing that weekend. And now he’s talking about another match in the future.
On his podcast, Flair mentioned, “When I spoke to him, we were trying to get him to work with us. He indicated to me back then that he didn’t think, health-wise, he was ready to do it. It’s what makes him feel good. Like I say about myself, I could wrestle again right now too, and I’d be a lot better than I was in the Last Match because when you’re gone away that long you forget about little things that’ll make a difference.”
While everyone wants Flair to return to his home and live peacefully, we all know that he will try to make another match possible. But before that happens, his fans have something to say to him.
Fans troll Ric Flair after his unbelievable statement
After Flair mentioned that he could wrestle better than his One Last Match PPV, fans had some choice words for him on Twitter.

His performance at the PPV wasn’t anything to be proud of.
A legend he is, but I think he’d be better off retiring. Continuing just won’t do him any good.
— Tyler Bacheller (@AcedTyler) December 1, 2022
Continuing will only ruin the legacy that he worked so hard to build in the first place.
Oh jeez, just GIVE IT UP ALREADY! Go home and enjoy life, Ric! pic.twitter.com/3gNoOx00BF

Enjoying life is something that Flair is already doing, but he needs to calm down with these statements.
He will be wrestling in a wheelchair soon! He needs to retire fully and live what life he has left.

This fan is just giving ideas to Flair at this point. Before we know it, Flair will do a wheelchair match with another legend.

While some think he shouldn’t, others know that he will do what he wants to. So, this fan just asks Flair to be done with it.
That aint saying much tbh.
The old fart doesn't know when to quit. 🤣

His performance in September wasn’t any better and fans aren’t expecting anything.
Enough is enough @RicFlairNatrBoy

While his One Last Match PPV was dangerous enough, seeing that he might wrestle again is too much for his fans.

Giving up on wrestling is the only way for Flair to be healthy at this age.
