January 3rd 2025.
Legendary wrestler Ric Flair has once again sparked conversation about a possible comeback from retirement. Fans are both excited and worried at the thought of him returning to the ring, with some fearing for his safety.
The 75-year-old WWE Hall of Famer, known for being a 16-time world champion, had previously announced his retirement in July 2022. However, he recently expressed his desire to continue wrestling and even mentioned wanting to join AEW. Unfortunately, AEW boss Tony Khan turned down the idea upon learning that Flair was on blood thinners.
In an interview with the Five Star Podcast, Flair, who had retired once before in 2008 after losing to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania, stated that he still has the itch to compete and would love to have one more match.
While Flair's passion for wrestling is admirable, fans are concerned about his health and the potential risks of another retirement bout. Many have taken to social media to express their worries, with some even accusing Flair of wanting to die in the ring.
"He truly wants to die in the ring," tweeted one fan, while another added, "My god, Ric Flair is genuinely trying to die in the ring." Some have even speculated that Flair's ultimate goal is to have his legacy be that he died in the ring.
Despite these concerns, Flair seems determined to get back in the ring. He retired after his last match in July 2022, but it looks like he's not quite ready to hang up his boots just yet.
"He doesn't want to die at home," tweeted one fan. "I kind of... admire that?! However, they can't let him die in the ring in front of kids." Others have expressed their admiration for Flair's dedication to the sport, but also caution against the potential dangers of his return.
In a candid conversation on the Oral Sessions podcast in 2021, Flair openly admitted that he either wants to die in the ring or while being intimate with his partner. He even joked that it's a tough choice between the two.
On July 31, 2022, Flair wrestled what he claimed to be his last match during a special event for Jim Crockett Promotions. He teamed up with his son-in-law Andrade to defeat Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. However, it was clear that the legendary wrestler struggled during the match, and later revealed that he had lost consciousness twice.
This has raised concerns about his health and safety, and fans are worried about the potential risks of him returning to the ring. If you have any information about Flair's possible return or any other celebrity stories, please don't hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you.
