Ric Flair, 73, To Wrestle One Last Match July 31

One of the best-loved professional wrestlers in history will have one final match, as Ric Flair will perform July 31 at the Nashville Fairgrounds on an independent card to stream live on FITE TV.

The 73-year-old “Nature Boy” hasn’t wrestled since September 2011, and his last WWE match was way back in 2008 at WrestleMania XXIV.

It’s unclear who the two-time WWE Hall of Famer and 16-time world champion will face—or whether it’ll be a singles or tag team match—in Nashville.

“I’m going to walk that aisle one last time to prove once and for all that to be the Man, you’ve got to beat the Man,” Flair said in a statement.

The match will take place the day after SummerSlam—also in Nashville—and immediately following the Starrcast V wrestling convention and expo.
