The Nature Boy Ric Flair is arguably one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time, with ‘Naich’ accumulating approximately 25 major world championship wins throughout his career, although the WWE only recognizes 16.

But, at the age of 73 and with his last match in being 2011, Ric Flair has long hung up his wrestling boots and is enjoying his well-earned retirement, well that is what any normal 73-year-old would be doing.

Flair took to his Instagram account to post a video of him and Ring of Honor and AEW star Jay Lethal locking up inside a wrestling ring and training together.

Flair said in his Instagram post, “

Verified

Someone Had The Audacity This Weekend To Ask Me If I Can Still Do This. I Said “Really??? Naitch Don’t Play!” WOOOOO!”

Many fans will remember the iconic promos between Ric Flair and Jay Lethal during their time in TNA, which included the legendary “Woo-off”.

This is likely just two friends having fun by locking up, and it is unlikely to signal a return to the ring for the Nature Boy,

Flair did get physical during a match in Mexico between Kenny Omega and Andrade El Idolo during a AAA title defense. However, the last match that Flair took part in was in a losing effort against Sting during a TNA Impact taping in September 2011.

Although if the Hall of Famer and greatest of all time wants to limousine ride and jet fly one more time, who are we to complain, woo!
