WATCH: Ric Flair fakes a heart attack in front of his family, Fans call it “Flair being Flair”

Ric Flair is one of the greatest superstars to ever step in the ring. The former 16-time world champion competed in his last match on Sunday. The Nature Boy teamed up with his son-in-law Andrade El-Idolo to take on the team of Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal. The match was held at Municipal Auditorium in Nashville.

Flair’s daughter Charlotte and WWE Legends like The Undertaker, Bret Hart and Mick Foley also became part of the attendance as they watched the Hall of Famer performing for the last time in the ring. Flair’s last match was deemed as a visual spectacle as the 76 yr old fared for around 26-minute-long match. The event had other matches as well such as The Wolves vs. Motor City Machine Guns, Killer Kross vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr., Rock N’ Roll Express vs. Brock Anderson and Brian Pillman Jr and Josh Alexander and Jacob Fatu for Impact World Championship.

Ric Flair with his son-in-law Andrade faced against Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal in his last match.

While, the match went fine, many fans had their hearts stopped during a spot in the match where Flair faked a heart attack in front of his own daughter and other legends. While some of the fans called the spot “insensitive”, others called it just another iconic Flair spot. Flair would put a hand on his heart as Lethal continued him hitting on the ringside. However, Flair’s acting would distract Lethal before Flair would rake his eye to gain the momentum.

Flair and Andrade would then go on to win the match after applying his signature Figure 4 Leg lock on Jeff Jarrett before he hit him with brass knuckles. The hall would then chant thank you Flair for his contributions to the world of wrestling as he was presented with the big NWA World Championship gold belt to see him off.

Notably Flair has a heart condition called “alcoholic cardiomyopathy” because of which the former 16-time world champion has also gone through 4 heart surgeries and has a pacemaker installed as well. A blood-soaked Flair stood tall at the end of the match and thanked everyone for coming in as the audience gave a standing ovation to one of the greatest ever to step in the ring.
