And just like Abdullah The Butcher House of Ribs and Chinese Food, Ric Flair will come down to your table and blade on cue.

So whenever Dave gets around to rating this match.
What are we looking at here?

Virtual restaurants can be hit or miss; they've been a booming market thanks to the pandemic and the fact a lot of people still trend toward ordering in over eating out, but on the other hand, a lot of them have dogshit food and burn out fast because of it. This will either be the most successful thing FLair's put his name on just because it scrapes by fine, or it goes bust ten times faster than GarfieldEATS and with less than a tenth the comedy value of GarfieldEATS

Didn’t watch the main but I thought the rest of the show was very enjoyable.
Opening tag: all four were on form and this was an excellent opener. Love to see the Shelley resurgence.
4 way: Pretty fun. Huge Takeshita fan and Nick Wayne continues to impress
Tag match: Pillman Jr should definitely work heel more often. Hopefully the three sons of wrestlers can break out a bit. A brock/Pillman tag team, managed by Arn would be a boost for both
Lucha 4 way: Tremendous top tier stuff. Match of the show
Impact title: Josh is incapable of having bad match and Fatu pulled out all the stops. The finish built to a Cardona title match and seeing DDP is always a treat. Could tell it was a cool moment for the normally composed Alexander.

The Observer reports Ric Flair’s Last match drew over 6,800 fans with 25-30k buying the PPV. Entire show probably grossed about 1.3 million dollars. As it was his entire career, Flair drew.
Firms my belief we will see another last match series promoted by Conrad. I don’t know who, but this style of event - a loaded independent undercard with a nostalgia retirement main event - will definitely work.

I know people have mentioned a DDP last match headliner.... but Conrad actually shared a picture of Stevie Ray working out. What about a "Harlem Heat's last match" card? Not sure if it would sell big or not, but it's an idea.

I mean, Jarrett was as well, but as an executive... so I bet that's a different story.

I can't think of any other free agents that would be able to have a last match and draw to the same level as Flair.

I wonder if there's any chance that Conrad starts to promote more shows. It's gotta be a dream come true. There were all those rumors not too long ago about him and Jarrett starting up somethin, but that might've just been hints at this show.

Well he already has his next appearance set up, as a manager. But still wonder if it leads to something else

I expect in the next few years he promotes a "nWo Last Ride" event, where the main is Nash and Syxx with Hogan in their corner vs somebody and the match ends with Cody Hall showing up with the cattle prod to help them win.

From here on it will be just as bad or worse than the TNA run. Ric will continue to embarrass himself for the pay day and the few minutes of glory. All these people who paid thinking it would be the last time they saw Ric in a ring but he'll still find a way even if he doesn't "wrestle."
