WWE legend Ric Flair is 73 years old, but the self-proclaimed 21-time champion still knows his way around the ring, albeit in slower fashion.
Flair posted a video this afternoon in response to an unnamed person who asked the two-time WWE Hall of Fame inductee if he still had it. In the clip, Flair can be seen acting out moves with fellow pro wrestler Jay Lethal.
“Someone had the audacity this weekend to ask me if I can still do this,” Flair wrote as his caption. “I said, ‘Really? Naitch don’t play!’ WOOOOO!”
Not surprisingly, plenty of wrestling aficionados are excited and nostalgic about Flair’s post.
Damn with Jay Lethal as well. The promos between these two was some of the best stuff TNA ever had. Flair and Lethal worked so well together. Yet still can do this. https://t.co/rGPo2xMjZd

This makes me happy. Ric looks like he’s having a blast.
On a side note: there could be some fun with @RealRickyMorton & @RicFlairNatrBoy vs us. 😉 #Heatseekers 🔥 https://t.co/RXjAjrts6P

After being granted his release from WWE last August, Flair actually did make appearances with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and NWA.
We’ll see if this “training” he was doing means more guest spots are on the way.
