WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair made an appearance on AEW Dynamite last week when he met his old friend Sting. He expressed his desire to be with Sting during the latter’s last days with the company. However, it looks like The Nature Boy has no desire to hang up his boots just yet.

Flair just signed a multi-year deal with the company and has already expressed his desire to be involved in any way possible. Whether it be an in-ring performance or a promo battle, the WWE Hall of Famer is willing to do anything. Moreover, the 74-year-old legend is expressing his dying desire to fight a top AEW talent.

He praised Friedman and said he is a very talented and honest worker and he is dying to go one-on-one with him. Moreover, Ric Flair believes that it will be a money match that will draw ratings.

I can still talk better than anybody. They’ll find out if they turn me loose. “I’m dying to go one on one with MJF, man. It would get a rating too. Let’s talk, young man.

Flair wrestled his last match at a professional wrestling pay-per-view event with Andrade El Idolo and defeated Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. While many fans are excited to see him regularly on AEW, some fans are also worried about the health of the 74-year-old. It will be interesting to see what Flair does to entertain the fans.

Ric Flair jokes about outrunning his Evolution members’ careers

There is absolutely no doubt that Ric Flair is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. But he is also infamously known for not knowing when to stop. Many fans worry about his health and often share their opinions that he should not wrestle anymore for his own good. The 74-year-old joked about outrunning all of his Evolution members’ careers in a podcast.

The Nature Boy recently appeared as a guest on Chris Van Vliet’s podcast to talk about his career. During that interview, Chris told Flair an interesting fact. He brought to notice that out of all four members of the Evolution, Flair had the most recent match. The WWE legend laughed about it. He said while Dave Batista and Triple H may not wrestle ever again, Randy Orton might return soon.

Yeah, I know it's funny because Dave has just gone off in Hollywood kicking a** right now, and Hunter came close but his fracture was in single digits, that's bad news. And Randy he's coming back I think. I saw him, I think he's contemplating it. But again, he's had that back injury - it takes you a while.

The 74-year-old might have one more match left in him. It will be interesting to see whether he steps foot into the ring or if the fans have finally seen the last of Ric Flair. Nonetheless, he will always be an immortal figure in wrestling fans’ eyes.
