This youtube video was in my suggestions and is getting a good number of views. Its just really a short clip of the Nature Boy training with Jay Lethal. Flair actually takes a couple of bumps, but nothing too severe. Could this all be leading up to the epic return of Hulkamania: Let the Battle Continue and the thunderous final chapter of Flair vs. Hogan? Is the world ready for another showdown between two wrestling TITANS??? ......

I'm happy for them to have the match... as long as it's not streamed or televised, and no photos are taken... or audio

I think I saw it mentioned that Charlotte had commented on Ric’s Tweet of the video, saying, “WTF Dad!”
I’m a huge fan of Flair the performer, but I think that’s a very valid response.

I mean it was reported Flair was cleared to take bumps again
At least it's in a controlled environment with a trusted worker who Ric seems to adore lol
Surprised to see he can still do quite a bit for all the health issues he had to overcome and his age though. Also Lethal and Flair doing the woo off will always get me.

Flair is only 73. In modern day WWE, that only puts him a few years past prime age for a world title run.

After all the health stuff, It's cool to see him still able to do this but he really shouldn't be.
On a lighter note, Flair, with that hairline, is slowly morphing into Hogan lol

Just thought, what if he is really training so he can come back and beat Becky Lynch? Winner gets the rights to "The Man."

Wasn't it like, less than 3 years ago that he actually nearly died?

Wasn't it like, less than 3 years ago that he actually nearly died? Ric Flair had a major health scare in 2017. He had kidney, respiratory and heart failure and caught pneumonia, and lost part of his bowel.
Charlotte had the perfect response to that vid.

If all that's happening is Ric and Jay just basically working out in a ring, this isn't so bad. Jay seems too be taking care of Ric, and the only thing that I really cringed a bit at was the body slam. But the rest seemed like 2 guys just having some fun.

Man, I miss being able to see dislikes. I have the return dislike app, it's probably going to disappoint you, but there really aren't many, especially compared to the likes This is also kind of the thing about how far internet anger can go for certain wrestlers, in Hulk Hogan's case, his demons became a worldwide issue and he gets booed out of buildings now, Flair's stuff (Maybe not on Hogan's level either but not pretty) hasn't really seemed to make it beyond Twitter.

I'm actually surprised that Ric doesn't bleed in the training clip.

Flair's stuff is definitely on Hogan's level. In fact it's even worse. Hogan is a racist scumbag but Flair went beyond words. He sexually assaulted people. Oh, and go look up Teddy Long's comments on Flair too. It really shouldn't surprise me at this point considering what the wrestling business is like but the fact that Flair's reputation has seemingly survived that DSOTR episode is disappointing. I'd like to think if someone I knew was outed as a murderer/rapist/sex pest I'd completely wash my hands of them but so many respected figures in wrestling still speak glowingly of Flair. The Rock was fawning over him on Twitter a month or so ago. Austin was hanging out with him at some convention during Wrestlemania week. Jay Lethal is working out with him. JR still loves him. Tony Schiavone and Sting still call him a great friend too. Charlotte and Andrade of course are still close to him. Like, I at least recall some people (New Day, Titus) publicly pushing back against Hogan after his racist comments and bullshit apology. Has any prominent figure in wrestling called out Flair for being a sexual predator? I'm sure Shane Douglas is out there somewhere doing it into a void but it seems like to most people he's still a walking meme and seen as harmless, drunken old Ric who just likes to have a good time.

I thought for sure the plane ride episode would destroy Flair but NOPE. His autograph price at shows has doubled and fans are still paying it. That's not related to the episode and not sure if it happened right before or after Dark Side but it was around the same time. Flair signed with Fitterman Sports which is Undertaker's agent, Mike Tyson's and has the higher pricing at autograph shows. There were several photos of Flair Wrestlemania weekend with other wrestlers at the autograph show and of course, everyone is all smiles. Flair is untouchable. And much like the last time, I think it's Jim Ross getting the raw end of the deal. I'm sure he's viewed as a "snitch" saying anything about the legend. But he was 100% right, Flair "got a pass." Unfortunately, he's at the point where everyone just chalks his behavior up to "Ric being Ric."
