“Stone Cold” Steve Austin returned at WrestleMania this year for his final match. Now, one of Steve Austin’s fellow WWE Hall of Famer’s will also wrestle one last time.
On July 31st, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair will lace up his boots one more time in Nashville, Tennessee. Flair will team up with his new son-in-law Andrade El Idolo to square off with Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal.
Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Steve Austin expressed his support for Flair’s last match. He made it clear that he wishes the legend nothing but the best.
“Well, it’s gonna be his final match, so I guess he’s in the mood to have one more go and to prove he was the man,” Austin explained. “I’ve said before, I think he was the greatest traveling world champion that there ever was. There’s a reason he had the belt as many times as he did, because he was that damn good. He lived the lifestyle on the road to the nth degree, let’s say.
“For him to have his final match, I wish him nothing but the best. I hold him in the highest regard and have the highest respect for him,” he continued. “I’m behind everything he does in the ring. So, I look forward to seeing it. I wish I could be there in person. Again, I’m not traveling anywhere right now, but I wish him all the best and I know it’s gonna turn out great and I can’t wait to watch it.”
Ric Flair’s Last Match will air on Sunday, July 31st on FITE TV, live from Starrcast in Nashville, Tennessee.
