Ric Flair’s Last Match was a huge success.
According to a report from F4W’s Dave Meltzer (via the Wrestling Observer Newsletter), Ric Flair’s Last Match drew a large enough gate to make it the second-biggest modern-era independent wrestling event in the United States.
Meltzer reports that “Last Match” had 20,000-25,000 buys via streaming and almost 4200 more through traditional PPV buys. Ric Flair’s Last Match saw more than 6,800 fans turn out in Nashville for the event, which resulted in a $448,502 gate. That total would make the Flair event the second-largest indie gate behind 2018’s All In event that had brought in $458,525 from 10,541 paid attendees.
The Last Match card featured Ric Flair teaming with Andrade El Idolo against Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal in the main event, as well as Jordynne Grace versus Deonna Purrazzo and Rachael Ellering, Killer Kross versus Davey Boy Smith Jr and more.
