Absolutely same here. I was worried and all that, but now I know, that this is gonna be a treat for us, fans. One final match, from the living wrestling god.
@@stonehorn4641 yeah they didn’t do anything comedic or have someone use an outlandish over the top character. Just.

@@thomasdickey1397 No it doesn't. It leaves room for one more match. Lethal vs Flair one on one at Michigan Stadium in front of a record crowd of 130,000.
I agree, it's not really HIS last match if he's sharing it with 3 other younger people...,. But tbh it wouldn't be a very good match if he faced anyone one on one
@@jamesbyersmusic i actually forgot about Andrade being his son in law but i was actually thinking of Arn Anderson being his partner but, i can see it now. Im actually freaking excited about this and especially seeing Jay Lethal in this, Hell yea
So happy for Jay Lethal getting to be the one to write this final chapter, the Woo Off is literally my favorite segment in TNA History and the pay off to that just wasn't what it should've been.
Look I like lethal I even respect him helping Ric get ready but in the world of flair and last matches lethal or Jarrett aren't the ones hbk hhh. Arn Anderson steamboat Tully. There and so many more. Who. He should be facing
Well too fucking bad! OK! Ric has history with Jay and Jeff and this is his final match. It is his choice. Besides Lethal is fucking amazing and I am sick of people down playing his accomplishments. If you do nit like it tough shit
@@legendkillla21 Regardless of whether Lethal participates or not, this match was always going to be a tag match. Flair can't go a whole match carrying it by himself unless you want it to last literally five minutes. There needs to be young guys in there work with him. People he has connections to, as well as a veteran that makes sense. HBK has already done it and he's not going to work an indie show. HHH has already done it countless times and he's not going to work an indie show. The rest don't wrestle anymore and haven't for years. Lethal would have been furthest from my choice, but there's no disputing that, as far as young guys who are actually freely available to work this show, and have a connection to Ric Flair rather than just being a random wrestler, he's one of the only few who make sense. Similarly, Andrade and JJ have connection to Flair. Like I said, Lethal wouldn't have been my pick, but as far as *young* wrestlers who can carry the match that actually have a relevant connection to Flair, who else is there?
@@legendkillla21 Arn is retired and hasnt wrestled since 1997. Michaels and hhh retired. Tully had one tag team match in aew. Lethal is a good choice since they had the classic TNA woo off.
@@Darth-Hylian i just dont want to see an old saggy washed up wrestler who cant move, who cant take his own vintage bumps, someone who cant figure out that he should of retired 10 years ago w the legacy of a champion,
I personally and respectfully met Ric Flair at the Hess Gas Station behind Universal Studios Orlando and helped carry his groceries to his SUV back when we were working with TNA. It truly was an honor Nature Boy Whoooo!!!
I absolutely love this revival that Jeff Jarrett has had. he really is an awesome worker that's gotten himself into better shape than he may have ever been. Nice to see success come to people that deserve it. This is really incredible for Ric as well. I hope he is able to always retain his zest for life that he has
I feel so stupid that I didn't realize until now that Ric and Crocket have been working us all for months now. Why did I thinking that it wouldnt be? He said several times it was going to be old school style the way its supposed to be. I let my guard down and bam, they got me. Brilliant! Now I think I'm gonna have to buy the PPV.
@@DannyBoy426 not that long I’ve been watching but since WWE debuted the network in 2013 I haven’t spent over “9.99” on anything. The first PPV I ever begged my dad to buy was St. Valentines Day massacre with Stone Cold v. Vince in the main 🔥🔥🔥🔥
As soon as Ric said “you’re an opening match guy”, that was a huge indication to me that Jay Lethal is going to scratch and claw his way to the top of the business tooth and nail
Mann the great minds that put this together Flair Jarrett Lethal prob the greatest build to a match I’ve seen in so long. They are really building this up to be as special as it should be.
Ric is just built different, man. Most people would have been crushed by his demons and ailments long, long ago. Some of it has to be genetics, but there’s more to it than that. I’d love to hear him talk about how he keeps that fire burning.
That's how you promote a match. Love Ric Flair, wasn't sure what to think about the last match but this is a good story considering theyre without weekly tv to set it up. Happy for Lethal to be a part of it.
@@jonmitchell9019 maybe u need to watch BTE and Sammy’s channel. They don’t do it exactly like this. But they absolutely developed story lines and continue them. Guess u don’t remember the whole split up with hangman and when it all started maybe watch BTE
LOL, I swear they sort of went with the senile old man getting abused angle on this one. Jarrett defends Flair from an indefinite parking lot beating and then Flair lashes out at him and then when everything calms down says he can't stand him. This is genius.
The whole buildup with teases of Jeff there, Lethal and Ric going back in time, etc and it leading to the main event is actually better booked and written than most AEW & WWE main matches!
This is the best production and storytelling than anything AEW and WWE has had in 20 years. It's about time someone bring this up to a 2020 standard. WWE and AEW produce shows like its 2000 again.
@@jonmitchell9019 Exactly; no WWE story line or performance these days can match this. Slick Ric is a master craftsman from a bygone era that we will never see again.
We're with you naitch. I'm so proud of you. I'm battling addiction myself , your story and strength is honestly helping me. I want to be a better man, husband and father. To coin your phrase, with a tear in my eye I love you Ric. You are FOREVER THE MAN💪💎
I am so happy for Jay Lethal. I know how much he loves Ric Flair in real life and what an honor this is. And Space Mountain has been my favorite since I was 6 years old, 1985. Got in arguments on the playground over who was better Hulk Hogan or Slick Ric, not even a contest.
Okay, Ric you got me. You cut through my bitterness and got my young fan that used to watch you on the SuperStation at 6:05 on Saturdays. Good luck, sir!
Dude, you are so right. I remember those days and boy do I miss them. This angle was the best thing I've seen since....who knows, maybe NWO days. I actually felt something, and questioned what I was watching. Great job to everyone putting this together
This was really great, i never expected a Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett heel turn. Ric you are on fire. First the fire promo in the other video, now this great angle. It makes me wish i didn't live in the UK and could watch this in person. I cannot wait to see the final part of the mini series and I'm so stoked to see the event.
@@Jim222001 I absolutely agree and Ric offered Jeff 2 tickets in the press conference to embarrass him. Also Ric called Lethal an opening card guy.. Before I saw any part of the Last Match documentary (all I saw was the Twitter training video with Lethal) i had assumed Lethal would be Ric's tag partner.
Left field but i’m glad Flair hasnt had a bunch of work done and big fake teeth and hair weave added in. This is beautifully shot to show every scar,wrinkle and spot on his face and you just see the matches with Steamboat. Royal Rumble 92. Attacking Dusty so many times. All those promos on TBS at 6 : 05. No matter who you’re favorite wrestler is…man Flair is the GOAT.
This Was Awesome And Very Emotional For Me, I Remember Watching Him When I Was A Kid In The NWA Day's. God Bless You Ric You Are The G.O.A.T PERIOD!!!!
Ric Flair is a gladiator he's been through a lot of trials and tribulations . Warriors like that are the last of a dying breed . If he wants to go out on his shield I respect him even more .
We all felt Jay Lethals expression. SO happy for him and praying for Ric Flair having a good final match. oh btw , I think the Ric Flair and Jay Lethal is working those who are watching this. Would make a nice story line if Lethal goes heel for this match.
Jay Lethal is the most underrated wrestler ever. Tony Kahn please put the ROH Championship on him. He's greatest ROH Champ Ever. I'm literally tearing up watching this. I'm so glad he gets to do this match. Ric Flair thank you for the years. You'll always be my favorite wrestler. I got to meet you once in Greenville. South Carolina will forever be Horseman Country. Woooooo
I thought the last match would just be sort of an exhibition. I was totally wrong. Storyline. Blood. Promos. I should not be surprised but I am. Love it.
I'm going to be brutally honest. I AM A MASSIVE RIC FLAIR FAN, more than any other wrestler that has ever laced a pair of boots. I gravitated towards him and I really had no idea why. So did most of my family. Uncles, cousins, brothers, we all admired that man. He is the greatest PRO WRESTLER of all time IMO. With that being said, I am very nervous about this match. He's a fucking legend and I don't want anything bad to happen to him. I know this business is his life and he's the happiest when he's in the ring but man, I just want him to scratch that itch SAFELY. He's 73 years old. I just don't want to see anything happens to him. Good luck Nature Boy 🙏🏿 I will be watching and I'll probably even shed a tear for you after the bell rings.
I feel like I'm back in the NWA days again for one more round watching this! This alone, this build up, is the biggest thing in wrestling today. No one is talking bout WWE, they are talking about this special day on July 31st, Ric Flair Day! "The Man" is back for one more night of glory! We are not getting classic Ric Flair, nor 2000's Ric Flair...we are getting the Wheeling and Dealing, Stylin' and Profilin' Ric Flair one more time! WOOooooo!!!!!!
This is honestly raising the bar in wrestling. The nature boy is once again raising the fucking bar. Also big salute to Conrad. This is excellent. This is wrestling! Double J also at the top of his game. wow this is great!
@@awakenedanarchism4202 90% of the guys today wont even be walking by Flair’s age. How many times was Flair just flat out not on tv in his prime?? While now you got Punk,Cody,Danielson,Orton,all out of commission and these arent even the guys falling through tables every week. Jeff Hardy will be in a wheelchair before Ric Flair
Ribbing Jeff Jarrett not being a four horseman, which he wasn't, and Ric Flair not picking Jay Lethal for his retirement Match was a work being built under our nose and we didn't notice it. I'm looking forward to this ppv and will be watching this ppv over summerslam.
@@Archangel-ct1iq I thought both Summerslam & Flair's Last Match were going to be on the same day, but I found out both shows will not be airing the same night so I will be watching both
This is how you build a wrestling match in its simplest for wwe should take notes from this and get back to the basics amazing videos cant wait till the 31st
You’re right they can’t grasp it. Now with Vince gone and HHH taking over creative it might turn around. They also have just went to TV-14. So no more PG rating. We shall see.
Too bad WWE can pull no story like this again I'm 42 years old I've been watching Ric flair like my dad and to see this man still doing what he loves and he's passionate about it's just mind blowing thank God for wrestling the only God of all gods the great goat Ric flair
"See, we're born with a killer instinct that you can't just turn off and on like some radio. We always have to be in the middle of the action 'cause we're the warriors. And without some challenge, without some damn war to fight then the warriors might as well be dead, Stallion." -Apollo Creed, Rocky IV
Yeah, if Andrade is in, that's exactly what I expect as well. Wait a second...wasn't Kerry von Erich's daughter Lacey a wrestler as well...? ;-) At least "on paper" that would be a nice addition to the match card (seen from a nostalgic point of view).
Now this is a fckin promo!! Love ya Ric Flair, teach them some ABC's & kick their arse Nature Boy!! I've haven't been more hyped for a wrestling match in years & years & years than this match!! This is what wrestling has missed the mere presence of greatness RIC FLAIR!! WOOOOOO!!
Wow! I have never seen such an excellent, well-scripted, acted, written promotion! None better. It is a new standard against which others must be judged. It will be nearly impossible to exceed.
Holy shit that was intense viewing but I couldn't take my eyes off this for a second this is exactly what wrestling is missing these days I would get into wrestling if we had more of this!
Truly a 60 minute man. I remember watching the nature boy wrestle for over an hour doing a lights out match. Man my dad loved watching flair probably because he dressed liked him lol
This was incredible, a 2022 version of old school crocket promotions🤔sounds funny to say but man ric flair still bleeding catching heat 😂shoutout to Jeff for making this thing a old school feel, 2 bad guys 2 good guys. I’ll be watching
I have watched this video at least 10 times in the past few weeks. Absolutely amazing angle. Ric Flair is the Greatest to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots. I have been watching Flair perform since 1987 and am so grateful to have seen him perform. Love you forever.
man i got to admit... they got me.... i remember watching Ric's Podcast when he talked about Lethal being mad at him.,....holy moly... I wish I could make Nashville... but ill buy the pay per view for sure now..... tremendous work Conrad and everyone else involved! This is how I remember wrestling.
Flair is the greatest EVER! End of discussion. The guy tells a story in the ring and for that brief moment in time, you believe it! Fuck. This will be a hell of a retirement match. Really glad Jay Lethal is part of this Ric Flair story! He's amazing! Wooooooo
No Bret Hart the greatest ever. You could call a Flair match with your eyes closed move for move. He needs the money that why he wrestling no idea how he got insurance.
@@robertalsup6959 Wrong Bret the greatest wrestler ever. Heel Bret promos were brilliant. Loved in Canada Europe hated in USA no one ever matching that. Flair promos wrestling was all ways the same. All ways to have blood even in the trailer.
@@robertalsup6959 Bret wrestling wise is the greatestand had the best matches along with Kurt Angle. Flair is one of the greatest also and of course had better promos but Bret in 97 cut some of the best promos ever.
Always loved Double J, watching this skyrocketed him to one of my all time favorites and the utmost respect. Dude might be most underrated wrestler ever.
Man, these videos are just fantastic. This is what professional wrestling looks like at the highest level. The story going into this is perfect, keeping kayfabe alive 😂❤️❤️😂 Both videos endings were fire 🔥, I’m hyped for this
Seen ric at our local hs in 1981, I was 11 years old, something about him up close I just never forgot. I grew out of wrestling but never stopped be a nature boy fan, ric flair is a American treasure, wooooo too the nature boy getting back in the ring at 73 years old.
Only Jay Lethal can embody the Nature Boy perfectly, as much as his Black Machismo (Randy Savage) character. Even Flair has approved him, but I wouldn't be surprised if his future grandchild can do it perfectly. I mean Charlotte is doing well along with her husband Andrade, who even has a family tree of wrestlers. If they ever have a child that becomes a professional wrestler then he/she will be a golden wrestler.
i was about to write the same thing, this feels like real conflict i seen on TV before. I'm pissed off AEW and WWE are not promoting this on their programs.
I absolutely loved the end of this! Gave me the ‘BREAK IT GOOD’ feels from Dusty/Horsemen back in the day! I’d love to see the Enforcer involved though…..make it happen Conny!
Honestly this was great and turned me around on this whole match.
Yooo max! When kryptonian epic coming out?!
Absolutely same here. I was worried and all that, but now I know, that this is gonna be a treat for us, fans. One final match, from the living wrestling god.
The legends sure know how to get heat and make the shit look believable that's the difference between them and the goofy stuff today
It doesn’t have to be a 5 star blood and guts 1980s cage match. Flair just needs to be the nature boy one more time.
Same
In less than 25 minutes these men had me more hyped for a match than any wrestling promotion in the last few years could in 2-3hrs
Thats sad then, because that was horrible.

I thought the last match would just be sort of an exhibition. I was totally wrong. Storyline. Blood. Promos. I should not be surprised but I am. Love it.
Damn, Naitch. I remember being in elementary school and seeing Flair vs. guys like Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes and the Von Erich's. What an icon.
Gahdamnit this needs a part three. I had no idea this was even TNA but damn this is better than anything in 20 years
I'm going to be brutally honest. I AM A MASSIVE RIC FLAIR FAN, more than any other wrestler that has ever laced a pair of boots. I gravitated towards him and I really had no idea why. So did most of my family. Uncles, cousins, brothers, we all admired that man. He is the greatest PRO WRESTLER of all time IMO. With that being said, I am very nervous about this match. He's a fucking legend and I don't want anything bad to happen to him. I know this business is his life and he's the happiest when he's in the ring but man, I just want him to scratch that itch SAFELY. He's 73 years old. I just don't want to see anything happens to him. Good luck Nature Boy 🙏🏿 I will be watching and I'll probably even shed a tear for you after the bell rings.
I have no doubts that Jay, Jeff and Andrade will take care of him, keep him safe, and help him get over.
Jay Lethal is the man and I need to meet him immediately🤣🤣🤣 this is great. Especially the end lol
I feel like I'm back in the NWA days again for one more round watching this! This alone, this build up, is the biggest thing in wrestling today. No one is talking bout WWE, they are talking about this special day on July 31st, Ric Flair Day! "The Man" is back for one more night of glory! We are not getting classic Ric Flair, nor 2000's Ric Flair...we are getting the Wheeling and Dealing, Stylin' and Profilin' Ric Flair one more time! WOOooooo!!!!!!
AEW >>>> This
Calm down with the hyperbole, this video barely has 55k views
Pro wrestling at its finest… and still rocking the greatest promos. This is next level epic!
“i’m tried of you and your old man” is my new favorite line
This is honestly raising the bar in wrestling. The nature boy is once again raising the fucking bar. Also big salute to Conrad. This is excellent. This is wrestling! Double J also at the top of his game. wow this is great!
lol, roll out the wheelchairs
@@awakenedanarchism4202 90% of the guys today wont even be walking by Flair’s age. How many times was Flair just flat out not on tv in his prime?? While now you got Punk,Cody,Danielson,Orton,all out of commission and these arent even the guys falling through tables every week. Jeff Hardy will be in a wheelchair before Ric Flair
@@TheeCoachg Apart from jeff i agree
Yogncn
Ribbing Jeff Jarrett not being a four horseman, which he wasn't, and Ric Flair not picking Jay Lethal for his retirement Match was a work being built under our nose and we didn't notice it. I'm looking forward to this ppv and will be watching this ppv over summerslam.
Or stop being a mark and watch both?
@@Archangel-ct1iq I thought both Summerslam & Flair's Last Match were going to be on the same day, but I found out both shows will not be airing the same night so I will be watching both
We are all wishing you the best Naitch and good health. Put on a show one last time legend!
This is how you build a wrestling match in its simplest for wwe should take notes from this and get back to the basics amazing videos cant wait till the 31st
It’s really a simple formula just make it look like a fight,but they can’t grasp that for some reason
You’re right they can’t grasp it. Now with Vince gone and HHH taking over creative it might turn around. They also have just went to TV-14. So no more PG rating. We shall see.
Too bad WWE can pull no story like this again I'm 42 years old I've been watching Ric flair like my dad and to see this man still doing what he loves and he's passionate about it's just mind blowing thank God for wrestling the only God of all gods the great goat Ric flair
"See, we're born with a killer instinct that you can't just turn off and on like some radio.

I love ya Nature Boy, you have been a big part of my life and at 57 it is good for my spirit to see you still WOooooo.
Holy Shit…. Totally suspended my disbelief …… this is what wrestling is suppose to be….. 👏🏼
No doubt
No doubt. Wake up wwe. AEW etc
Agreed, though Andrade is a totally underwhelming choice for me... 😞
@@jamesbyersmusic total Ric call I’m sure….. I thought the same
Ric sold that punch like it came from Mike Tyson.🤣🤣🤣
“A wild Slapnuts appears!”
Well that was better storytelling than I’ve seen in any promotion in 10 years…I hope wwe let’s charlotte somehow be a part of that match too.
Yeah, if Andrade is in, that's exactly what I expect as well. Wait a second...wasn't Kerry von Erich's daughter Lacey a wrestler as well...? ;-) At least "on paper" that would be a nice addition to the match card (seen from a nostalgic point of view).
I love the way Jeff Jarrett just keeps moving forward. Good for him!
Now this is a fckin promo!! Love ya Ric Flair, teach them some ABC's & kick their arse Nature Boy!! I've haven't been more hyped for a wrestling match in years & years & years than this match!!
This is what wrestling has missed the mere presence of greatness RIC FLAIR!! WOOOOOO!!
Best Wrestling angle in last five years. Real blood and psychology.
Wow! I have never seen such an excellent, well-scripted, acted, written promotion! None better. It is a new standard against which others must be judged. It will be nearly impossible to exceed.
Holy shit that was intense viewing but I couldn't take my eyes off this for a second this is exactly what wrestling is missing these days I would get into wrestling if we had more of this!
God I love You Rick Flair I’ve been watching you since I was a little boy 40 years ago WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Truly a 60 minute man. I remember watching the nature boy wrestle for over an hour doing a lights out match. Man my dad loved watching flair probably because he dressed liked him lol
His best match was him n Kerry von Eric at Texas stadium.
This was incredible, a 2022 version of old school crocket promotions🤔sounds funny to say but man ric flair still bleeding catching heat 😂shoutout to Jeff for making this thing a old school feel, 2 bad guys 2 good guys. I’ll be watching
Old school heat and storytelling...I got goosebumps at the end
I have watched this video at least 10 times in the past few weeks. Absolutely amazing angle. Ric Flair is the Greatest to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots. I have been watching Flair perform since 1987 and am so grateful to have seen him perform. Love you forever.
This is going to be a great event. The matches from top to bottom is such a beautiful sight.

"He's seventy-something years old!" "He does not act like it!" 'Nuff said. 👌👍 12:24 Damn. That's impressive for any age. 💪👊
Holy shit. Better than anything I have seen in nearly 20 years. This is story telling.
Lethal and Flair's conflict had me fooled till the parking lot.😂Great work!🤘
Me too! They marked me for sure.
@@baronofthesixthday5763 Marked, lol. 😂 True enough. I enjoyed being fooled.....Ric's still got his promo skills. 💪
Got one life this man lived the dream and keeps livin it, respect
man i got to admit... they got me.... i remember watching Ric's Podcast when he talked about Lethal being mad at him.,....holy moly... I wish I could make Nashville... but ill buy the pay per view for sure now..... tremendous work Conrad and everyone else involved! This is how I remember wrestling.
I use to watch Ric Flair in the NWA when I was a boy. A legend 👏
Anyone else dying over the “and he’s my son in law!” Line lol
Flair is the greatest EVER! End of discussion. The guy tells a story in the ring and for that brief moment in time, you believe it! Fuck. This will be a hell of a retirement match. Really glad Jay Lethal is part of this Ric Flair story! He's amazing! Wooooooo
No Bret Hart the greatest ever. You could call a Flair match with your eyes closed move for move. He needs the money that why he wrestling no idea how he got insurance.
@@peterjones2834 Sorry to burst your bubble but Bret Hart is NOT the greatest. His promos suck and his interviews suck!
@@robertalsup6959 Wrong Bret the greatest wrestler ever. Heel Bret promos were brilliant. Loved in Canada Europe hated in USA no one ever matching that. Flair promos wrestling was all ways the same. All ways to have blood even in the trailer.
@@robertalsup6959 Bret wrestling wise is the greatestand had the best matches along with Kurt Angle. Flair is one of the greatest also and of course had better promos but Bret in 97 cut some of the best promos ever.
"He's 77 years old!"
Turned 73 this year.
I think he said "Seventy-somethin'"
@@Esoterik14 either way this whole bit was comedy gold
Always loved Double J, watching this skyrocketed him to one of my all time favorites and the utmost respect. Dude might be most underrated wrestler ever.
This is better than anything on WWE in the last 10 years!
Man, these videos are just fantastic. This is what professional wrestling looks like at the highest level. The story going into this is perfect, keeping kayfabe alive 😂❤️❤️😂
Both videos endings were fire 🔥, I’m hyped for this
Seen ric at our local hs in 1981, I was 11 years old, something about him up close I just never forgot. I grew out of wrestling but never stopped be a nature boy fan, ric flair is a American treasure, wooooo too the nature boy getting back in the ring at 73 years old.
“Fuck off Jarrett.Tired if you and your old man” best line.
This makes Andrade look like a million bucks. So not only is Ric getting his last match he's putting his son in law over. Good stuff.
Both sons in law gettin paydays.
yeah thats not gonna last long lmao
CANT WAIT FOR THIS PPV. GOING TO BE LEGENDARY TO SEND OFF THE NATURE BOY. WHAT A PROMO VIDEO. LOVED THIS.
Wwe could never have a better story telling than this
This is the best thing I’ve seen in Wrestling in years!
Only Jay Lethal can embody the Nature Boy perfectly, as much as his Black Machismo (Randy Savage) character. Even Flair has approved him, but I wouldn't be surprised if his future grandchild can do it perfectly. I mean Charlotte is doing well along with her husband Andrade, who even has a family tree of wrestlers. If they ever have a child that becomes a professional wrestler then he/she will be a golden wrestler.
THIS. IS. PROFESSIONAL. WRESTLING! The "spot-monkeys" in AEW, WWE, Impact, and NJPW should take notes!
i was about to write the same thing, this feels like real conflict i seen on TV before. I'm pissed off AEW and WWE are not promoting this on their programs.
This is soooooooooo fuckin goooood! Lethal and JJ great work here. Flair never ceases to amaze. I cant wait for this now lol.
God bless you ric! You are such a inspiration to me as I face tremendously hard times ahead. I don’t know you but I love you sir thank you
I absolutely loved the end of this! Gave me the ‘BREAK IT GOOD’ feels from Dusty/Horsemen back in the day! I’d love to see the Enforcer involved though…..make it happen Conny!
