From his first match December 10, 1972, in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, against George "Scrap Iron" Gadaski to his last match July 31, 2022 in Nashville TN. teaming with son-in-law Andrade El Idolo to defeat Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett, Ric has given his all to entertain us the wrestling fans and I say thank you. You are a big piece of my childhood, wanted to hate you and the 4 Horsemen but you guys was so cool... Hope to see him at ringside or something. Ric Flair is synonymous with wrestling...
The way I saw it was Flair gave up his family and health to entertain me for over 40 years of his life so I gave the NatureBoy one day of my life on July 31 to say Thank You 🙏
This card was amazing in every match from the pre-match matches to the very end and it made me feel like I was back in the territory days! I can remember when a few territories would get together and have matches like this card, champ vs challenger, champ vs champ, and the very last match of the evening, The NWA World Champion would face off against a challenger he had a story line with for a few months! This was so close to how it used to be, they need to do this more often! Thank you everyone who was on the card and thank you, Ric, for giving me some of the best memories from the time I started watching wrestling in 1981 as a toddler, through this last match! You truly are the greatest of all time!
I was there the WHOLE WEEEKEND.. The Roast was hilarious.. Brad Nessler took it on the chin all night it was hilarious! This was my favorite experience outside my family. This was a special weekend, that auditorium was a magical building... I am so honored to have been there.
You have never let us down Naitch . You have always made the fans believe in everything you have ever done . Thank you for being a major part of my childhood ! Love you , and God Bless !
We the Puerto Rican fans was waiting a last match in Puerto Rico where alot fans respect and been following your career especially with that epic match with Carlos Colon. Thank you for visited us last Saturday in WWC... The one and only !
Ric I've been a fan of yours since I began watching wrestling in the late 70's. You've entertained me countless times over the years & I can't express my gratitude enough to make you understand how much you've meant to me. From your matches w Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, & the Von Erichs' to matches w The Undertaker, Mick Foley, & Hulk Hogan you always put forth your best. Thank you sir, I love you.
Flew across country to see this match. It was a bit of a mess leading up to the show but man they pulled it together. An amazing show and a fantastic memory…. Yet another from THE MAN!!!
I was there this whole weekend as well and can confirm the unreal magic and special significance of that whole weekend in Nashville. Probably the best weekend I've ever experienced and one of the best memories of my entire life. Incredibly honored to have been there in person.
Bro I I grew up in the Central States in Kansas Bob geigle used to promote every show and hoisington Kansas up until the late '80s those territory days for me I meant a lot I believed that the NWA was the top wrestling company due to its realistic storylines and realistic wrestlers that characters that were portrayed in the WWF did not seem genuine but brother your character was so believable and all of the angles you guys ran and the story lines were so real you had me from the start I just want to tell you now as a professional wrestler in the business since 1989 you are what every wrestler aspires to be keep up the good work brother you to me and a lot of others are the workhorse a professional wrestling and how wrestling matches should be God bless you brother I love you happy health and most of all you are still the man trained by Dan Adams and I did a lot of stuff with Ron McFarland and Bobby Jaggers much love and respect
Ric and the constant "I just wasn't hydrated" refrain over the course of the interview. He just HAD to be under 220lbs at age 73 on a weigh scale nobody but him would ever see. Lol. Glad it didn't kill him. A Champion's ego never dies.
Ric Flair throws better looking punches at 73 than the majority of all wrestlers I see today. I thought that should've been his whole offense with a few chops. But no matter what, his punches looked SOOOO good! Wooooooo!
Thank you Ric. You are without a shadow of a doubt The Greatest of All Time. Rather you like it don’t like, Learn to Love it because he is the best thing going today. Wooooo!!
I have to say -- I've sat and had a drink with Flair, watched him from a distance, and followed this podcast... Ric Flair looks so happy here. Proud of you, Ric.
Ric talked about regretting calling this his last match because he'd love to wrestler more......then later describes how he passed out twice in said last match. 😳😞 My goodness...
Absolutely, in my opinion Jeff stole the show throughout the feud/match. A lot of people try and crap on him because of the WWE pay controversy or his title reign in TNA. He took the worked shoots in the podcasts to the next level and pulled no punches (I was like can he even say that? :D) Lethal was phenomenal, he was a great as a heel, Andrade really impressed me and Ric gave his absolute all. I wanted Jeff and Ric to do a strut off, Ric and Jay to do a chop off, i wanted both Ric and Jeff to do the figure four and Jeff to smash his guitar on someone's head. All i didn't get to see was Lethal do a Lethal Injection.
My wife was kind enough to get us tickets for this. 4th Row. I still have a picture with you when I was like 9 and my autograph book with your autograph. Thank you for a lifetime of entertainment.
We love you ric and thank you for the memories you have given us throughout your wrestling career you are the best wrestler and entertainer that’s ever walked down to the ring we are proud of you WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thank you for all you have done for pro wrestling Ric. We’re gonna miss you, but one of the reasons you’re arguably the greatest to lace up the boots, is that you havent lost a beat. You wrestle with heart no matter the age, era, or promotion. You never let us down Ric. We love you, and it was an honor to meet you, sir.
Adrenaline dump sucks big time the older you get, I worked a job that turned me into a adrenaline junkie, Im sure all wrestlers are junkies, Not long ago I had to do some of that old work, I felt like I was 20 years younger with the adrenaline pumping, But I had two crashes a day, Lunch and the end of the day, Crashed so hard that I wanted to sleep, When I was young I would drink a few beers and an hour after the dump I was ok, Now at 52 its not so easy to recover, I can only imagine at 70 what it would feel like, I probably would need to lay down for a few minutes The funny thing about adrenaline, Its also a natural pain killer mixed with a natural cocaine high, Once a person becomes a junkie, Your thinking on the fly becomes so much clearer and your reflexes are enhanced as well,,, Ill go to my grave saying, A person cannot truly live if they are scared to die,,
Hopefully this was the last match. It’d be like MJ coming back to basketball right now for one last game or playoff run. All the respect is there but it just doesn’t need to happen. Some things are best to be left alone.
To me Ric Flair is the best wrestler to ever wrestle I'm so glad that everything worked out for you on your last match you look amazing right now you look so happy. Watching you wrestle your last match brought back so many memories of me and my dad watching you when I was just a little boy. My favorite matches of you was with Sting, Lex Luger, Ricky Steamboat, Ricky Morton, Barry Windham and Shawn Michaels and I absolutely love the promo of you and Jay Lethal when you Wooo to each other back and forth....lol....you also have the best promos out there...Good luck to you Ric and God bless you.... Woooo!! 4.
Nature boy my daughter wife and I stood up. at the house with a tear in my eye it I just stood there remembering my 40 yrs of being a fan of yours my daughter actually cried when she saw the butterfly robe my sister who has passed on loved butterflies so it reminded her of her aunt back when my sister and I was little our momma got a picture of u and us with that big gold belt and bloody. blonde u stopped and took a picture with us thank u ric. By the way I was born 3 days after u won world championship the 1st time. Mom showed me that picture the other day I thought I never met you but I did
Loved the last match. The docu-series had me looking for last minute flights to Tennessee and genuinely considering flying out. I bought the show and really wish I would have been there live. Excellent job all around . Much love and respect to Conrad, Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Andrade and the greatest professional wrestler of all time Ric Flair. Thanks for the decades of memories and thanks to all involved for putting together this show to honor the career of the Nature Boy !
Unreal to see how good Jeff Jarrett looks still at his age. Can’t help but think his career should be a little better at least in the WWE cause he has flawless technique
Took guts to go out there and do that match. Shame about the dehydration but it was still a cool spectacle. Also great to see all the other projects bearing fruit - keep at it Naitch!
We love you Naich, but when someone is just "down and out in the hospital sick" they don't just slap a pacemaker in while you're there because eh, might as well!? 🤷♂️ lol We're happy you made it through everything and walked yourself to and from the ring after everything!! 💪💪
It was time, Rick when fans goes from wanting to see you get your ass kicked to worry about a match, You came full circle, One hell of a run and one hell of a life, Back when I was growing up To be the man stuck, I applied 110% in everything I did, When it come to women, I still slap them on the ass and give the the Flair woo,,, Thanks for the memories
I just hope ur happy with this last match, and that's definitely what it should be..last match. I watched someone that I admired as a teenager into manhood. To see what I saw during this event has tarnished that image. I hope it was all worth it to all involved. I could go on as to how sad I felt watching this, it was embarrassing.."I don't remember half of it" pretty much sums it up..sad
Match went too long and exposed that Flair and Conrad are both Marks. It was still interesting than Summerslam Though; somehow. The package was the best part. Flair needs to just be a Manager or something
Still talking crap about Bisoff even when he was at your last match putting you over and has constantly tried to make things right, he only has good things to say about you the past 15years.. why are you even his friend(or pretend to be most guys ) when you have to constantly bury him? Get over it, it was 30 years ago when he booked you to lose to Hogan and put you in the mid card for 4-5 years …that was best for business and every top guy floats back to mid card here and there (cena with u.s title ect) you just couldn’t get yourself over as you use to without having the belt and title reign gimmick to fall back on
Hey Conrad with the huge success of the event and it being starcast, you'll appreciate this thought since but perhaps starcast can become the "combine" of wrestling just like the nfl combine. I mean it almost acted like that with all the signings of wrestlers after the event.
