Ric Flair is a wrestling legend
Now, Ric Flair has turned his attention to his latest Last Match and made an impassioned plea on his To Be The Man podcast, saying, “I pray that I can do it again.
I'm begging because I've told 100 people, 'How do I forget to drink water all day?' That's all that happened to me. Did you see me. I drank five beers right after," referring to the fact that he was dehydrated, which is why he didn't think it went well.
Flair then went on to explore the issues of the match itself explaining, “I can think of a lot of things that I messed up and things that I would like to change in matches. I just know it could have been something really wonderful.
You know, I happened to be dehydrated. I don't know how I could have made this mistake because you know how much work I have done with Lethal. We had it all figured out, and we had so much more to do. God, that would have been great." Ric Flair confessed that he wished he didn't say it was his last match and that he was offered to wrestle in Puerto Rico.
"I wish I hadn't said it was my last match. That’s gonna get heat. Hell, they wanted me to wrestle in Puerto Rico in Saturday night. I said 'Guys, I cannot get in the ring one week later.' And the guy looked at me and said 'Well, you know what, could retire in Puerto Rico can't you?' No, no, no that's not the point," said Flair.
