Love It CVVCLIPS Bro Woooooooooooo.
And now he wants another
Ric: "It should be"
Also Ric: "I'm gonna come out of retirement again."
I think it may be the case he feels as though every match he’s had since hasn’t came close to that one, he wants to go out with a bang, and he wishes he did then
He should’ve left that as his last match
Yeah, but that's how it is. It's hard to let go of something you love so much
@@jaydenlawrence8393Are you talking about money? He came to TNA because of money.
@@yourfavoriteentertainmentobviously, he should've ended his career with the Shawn match. But as he has discussed many times previously, he needed the money
He shouldn’t have got away with sexually assaulting as many woman as his age 😂 what’s your point
@@yourfavoriteentertainment I don't know about that situation. But you can't deny he loves wrestling with a passion
Crazy that Shawn called that on the fly, ric and Shawn two goats 🐐
He didn't-Flair goes the extra mile to make his opponents/friends look better than himself. They all love him for it. If u actually watched that match u seen Flair guiding Michaels several times in that match.
@@slabbyfatback2272yeah, we don't believe someone who was in the match, but rather we are supposed to believe someone who watched the match on television..
@@juztmypov U r entitled to your own opinion of course-Just rewatch it. U now know what to look for. Look and u will see. It's pretty obvious
Flair vs Michaels at WrestleMania 24 is the only match that made me cry as a fan. They really made me believe at that time that it would be Ric Flair's last match ever. I was only 17 years old at the time, but I felt so stupid afterwards when he continued wrestling.
As far as WWE is concerned, that was his last match. Reason being doctors were telling Vince that Flair would basically die in the ring if he kept going like he was. So Vince gave him one last run and let him pick his final opponent. Flair had said years earlier befire WM24 that he wanted his last match to be against Hunter or Shawn.
@@Maverick512000 exactly it was his last WWE match. I don’t get why people cry that he continued to wrestle. It’s actually amazing that he can perform in he ring at his age
@@MichaelMyers-pj2ukpreform is a strong word to use lol
@@MichaelMyers-pj2ukperform is a pretty bold word for what Flair has done in the ring over the last decade
@@beardown2489 done more that what we may ever do….
Con: Flair didn’t leave after his match against HBK.
Pro: We got that ludicrous and crazy segment with Jay Lethal afterwards.
You lose some, you gain some.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooo
It looks like the Horse took a dump in the ring and left THAT! 🤣🤣🤣
Jay lethal is Ripoff artist
@@Bears86SBripping off gimmicks is the least of his crimes.
"Did I...Hear...that punk right there say anythingggg...about the FOUR HORSEMEN?? The Greatest...Group...of MEN...to have ever graced...God's...grrrreen Earth"
I've watched that match dozens of times, and actually again just 10 minutes ago. And yes, it brings a tear to my eye every single time. Imho, one of the best, most emotion filled WrestleMania matches of all time!
When Lillian Garcia announced Ric Flair out to the ring for that match, I felt it in my soul. She put everything she had into that announcement.
At the end of the interview, Chris should've looked over and said "Hey Rick..." and given him the "let's speed it up" hand signal 😂
I remember my amazement as I watched that match.
It was a masterpiece.
As far as I'm concerned, Ric Flair's match with Shawn Michaels from 'WWE WrestleMania 24' is technically considered to be Ric Flair's final match--in both pro wrestling & WWE, respectively.
What all he did in his 2½-year stint with TNA, however as far as in-ring work is another story, though...
Even in his interviews he goes the extra mile to make his opponents look good!! U could see Flair telling Michaels what to do several times in that match, guiding him. That's why they all love him, he always tries to make them look better than himself. The GOAT!
Talking doesn't always mean calling a spot. Sometimes you're asking a question. I wrestled for 4 years. We say a lot of crap in that ring
@@ModernDayRenaissanceManyou ever just had a conversation while you wrestled? Like “what you eatin after this?”
To everyone sayin he should have just quit, if ric left it at that we wouldn’t have the jay lethal segment.
Good point. 👍
The what?
Actually, it probably would've still happened, just not the match. (If TNA signed Ric Flair like they did in real life, they could've just have him be a GM in TNA, or a manager there. Heck, even the on screen "Network executive" like they did with Mick Foley before)
Could've had that regardless if he didn't actually WRESTLE a match again
@@ricksmith2127lol
That last moment of the match was the best ever! It’ll never be topped.
Unbelievable fun fact : Ric Flair is the last Evolution member to compete in a wrestling match .
No way! Even Randy?...... Holy ****!!! I guess so. That's insane.
I brought that up to him during this interview
@@CVVCLIPS That's so mind blowing. What are the odds?
Randy will return eventually
@devonjones5200 not looking good physically
Shows the greatness of Shawn Michael
Shawn Michaels is the best there ever was. Looking back at that match,Flair could still go. But,it would have been better if that was his actual retirement match. Everything that happened after is a negative contribution to his legacy
This match was great, it's a shame that ric joined TNA after a couple of years where he was sloppy and embarrassing to watch...
Lol.... "the TNA"
What are you.. Bret?!
@@bpolovich9398 Wait what you mean? He was in the TNA back then, ik it's called impact wrestling now.
@@iijasonbrody978 TNA is just TNA.. as opposed to "the TNA"
LOL
It's a joke, because Bret Hart used to refer to WCW as "the WCW"
There's other examples, but that's the most prominent one.
But yeah, that's all.
@@bpolovich9398 Ohhh yes my bad, thank you I'll correct my comment. Cheers mate. 🤝🏻
@@iijasonbrody978 Lol! No need to correct, my friend.
Cheers!!!
It was a good send off for his WWE run at least ❤
If flair had saved all the cash it would have been his last match
Flair comes back now in AEW & tags with Sting & Darby as the Sting, Fling, & Wing express.
That’s why HBK still orchestrates matches today, his knowledge of the business was praised by Vince and Triple H both saying they learned from him
He’s going to pull a Randy “The Ram” moment…
There's a UA-cam video of him and Greg The Hammer Valentine having a drunken match in a hotel lobby but they were just goofing off. Funny stuff.
that was a 5 star match no question. i love both superstars man, but i hate how all good things come to an end
Flair wants one more match but agrees that shouldve been his last 😂
The fact everyone said he said I love u😂😂😂
I love Ric.
Shawn, however, is the GOAT in my eyes. He literally had the Match of the Year till the day he officially retired. The man had an unfair God given advantage in the ring. The greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots.
I’m never wrestling again…
I’m never drinking again…
At least he doesn’t lie as much as hogan
When did he say he's never drinking again? He drinks a lot daily
When did Tarek El Moussa start interviewing wrestlers?
Shawn Michaels carried this bum in that match 100% hbk is the goat
Shaun was the man .
Prick don’t you mean
good job Chris
Man wouldn’t have been nice of Ric Flair began to cry at this moment.
watched it live. he should have kept it his last match.
I don't know I kinda liked Flair vs Hogan in TNA after that match but certainly should have been his last WWE match.
Leave the memories alone
Big Van Vader should have been Flair's last match, he would be a Bigger Legend and an Announcer or Figure Head, But Flair could not walk away
After he beat him ?
Tear to the eye? What a HMO
Did Flair ever finish that retirement speech? Sounds like an opportunity for a great UA-cam video.
Did flair just admit that should have been his last match? 😂😂😂
never would have had the woo off on impact if that was really his last match though
He never should have came back after that
Ric wearing two ⌚
Shawn called the whole thing, Flair didn’t say anything because Shawn is that good.
To those saying that Flair should never have wrestled again - I agree, to an extent. BUT, I'm perhaps one of the few that isn't bothered by a wrestler having the odd match after a 'career ending' match. It's an easy plot device to get around, and here is the narrative:
A wrestling 'career' should ALWAYS (no exceptions) be about striving to win matches to move up the ranks and win titles. A 'fight' or a 'match' held in isolation, where the fighter has no intention of long-term chasing of a championship is not a career, it's just a fight, and you don't need to have a career to just have a fight because you 'hate' someone else (kayfabe). It would only be stepping back into a career if trying to get in line for a championship.
That's my opinion anyway.
That's pretty much what they did with KO vs Stone Cold and that's one of the better matches in recent memory.
Dat boa ric got dat ice on🤣
It was perfect, as he said, yet, he still kept wrestling afterwards🤷🏿♂️
Cocaines a helluva drug. And it's expensive
It should have been last match, but life stepped in and he needed $.
I wish he would've retired for real after this match
ankles
If only it was actually his last match.
It doesn’t have the same effect anymore to me. Great match yes. But emotional no. He went to TNA then had that last match which is horrendous. Should have left sat WM 24
And went to TNA to bleed all over the place for 500 bucks
Ric would say anything and not mean it later
it was an amazing moment,a little sullied because he kept wrestling..ah well.
He should keep wrestling. He can still go.
HBK and Ric flair a romantic moment? Come on, let's not get those rumors started again. LOL
He should've retired in 1996 before the nWo started!!!
I disagree, because we would've never gotten that entertaining nWo vs Horsemen feud from '97 which was great. Flair was older, but he still had a lot in the tank in the late 90s and was just as entertaining as he was in the 80s if not more.
@@Wglass90 lol no, Flair was past his peak by then.
Let's pretend TNA never happened
Please retire naitch for good dont want see him ruin his legacy by going on too long only ever be one WOOO like undertakers gong everyone knows it even if u dont watch wrestling iconic WOOO
Ric Flair vs Jay Lethal was a better match
Does he ever stop crying 😂😂😂😂
Ya'll trippin'. His final match in Nashville was much better than his Wrestlemania match with Shawn.
You joking right?
I, honestly, hated that match. Who begs somebody to kick them in the face? I ain't into that romantic stuff.
And then he went and spoilt it all by doing something stupid like T, N, A.
And he NEVER wrestled again...
