Ric Flair’s Last Match - July 31st

[4real]

Can’t wait for “Ric Flair’s Last Match…Twice in a lifetime!”

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

Just a thought, but I feel pretty confident that Charlotte's going to get involved on Sunday and put a figure four on Karen and all the heels getting the move is your feel-good ending.

I could see WWE not wanting her to be hyped for anything, but I just don't see the thing ending without her getting involved in some way.

Soooooooo, how’s the roast?

[JoDaNa1281]

I know other people have said it, but...honestly, get rid of the main event, & this is one of the best cards of 2022...easily!

[mrpeacock]

David Manning was a fun roast and more old school with old stories. The dude after him was more like the modern roast and left scorched earth.

I'm interested to know if Steve McMichael was able to make this weekend.

Nick Gage and GCW are invading the show

So Ric walked out on a signing half an hour ago leaving a lot of disappointed paying fans, evidently

I'm guessing refunds will be coming from Conrad, Ric's probably paid a flat rate rather than by the event or signed piece. With it being no money from Ric's pocket, he won't care.
I had heard he did a similar thing, leaving fans right at the time his schedule was up, from another wrestler a few years ago.

[Final Countdown Jones]

Only Ric Flair could Ric Flair a convention centered around him and his final match. Literally only Ric Flair could scumbag it this hard for his time.

[I'm Team Bayley and Indi]

I had a negative experience with Flair at a convention a few years ago, so I can believe he'd do something like this

[Natural Born Farmer]

Hey, that bottle of whiskey waiting for him in the back wasn't going to drink itself.

That stinks. In 1997 at a WCW ticket sale signing he was super nice, doing photos, personalizations but a few years later my grandfather said he wasn't as friendly. I feel like whatever issues he had with Bischoff really changed him then. I did see him at a Monster Mania show in Baltimore country in 2016 and he had no line though it was a Friday night and not really a wrestling event. It was he and Wendy and he was pretty personable.

I know someone who used to volunteer for Monster Mania and they said Flair had a low turnout because he had just done another convention in the area only a few months prior. They made it seem like he didn't know he was hurting his demand by constantly being in that area.

Bars have a last call.

I was only at the convention Friday night, no one seemed to have a big turnout so I'm not sure how he would have done on Saturday and Sunday, if he stayed Sunday. But he def. was doing way too many shows at the time. But the last few years with his health problems and being promoted more heavily as an attraction, the demand has gotten bigger.
I was at a show in New Jersey where Afa and Bruno were at in 2006. I was at the show pretty late but then they were doing no business. Years later, when it was announced Bruno was doing his last show ever, it was a non stop line until the very end. It was such a huge turn out. It's all about promotion I guess. Wrestlers don't seem to do too well at the regular celebrity conventions for walk up business.


Someone on the Starrcast facebook posted Ric had to get to a Horsemen stage event and therefor left the autographs. Given the demand, things should have been planned much better, not to leave fans hanging.

It's going to be a miracle if the dude doesn't have a medical issue by the end of this thing.

Line that stuck out to me is "I guarantee I'll be drinking every night. I don't do good when I don't drink at night. I'm like Lawrence Taylor."

Yes Ric, Lawrence Taylor is the man to emulate.

Hard to take any of this seriously when the Ancient Boy pulls shit like this.


if he’s really getting big money offers for more matches he’s going to take them all.

[The Captain]

Something tells me that Andrade is going to be doing most of the heavy lifting while Flair just does his signature spots.
