Ric Flair’s last match is approaching this weekend, and both his opponent Jay Lethal, as well as his daughter Charlotte Flair were interviewed by ESPN ahead of the show to get their thoughts.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
Lethal on training with Flair ahead of the match:
“He just has to go out there and do what’s called ‘the greatest hits’ — strut, ‘Woooo!,’ chop someone. And the people would be OK with that. But that wouldn’t be OK with him. So, you’re gonna see him attempt and deliver on a Level 10 match. Whatever he can bring, he will bring.
Sometimes he’d want a private [workout] in the morning and he’d wake up before me. I’d look at my phone and I’ve got a voicemail. ‘Wake up, m—–f—er. I want to get in the ring. Suplex me off the top.’ I’m like, ‘What?!’ And that’s the end of the message. One of the first things he wanted to do was a suplex off the top or a clothesline over the top to the outside. I’m terrified. I’m like, ‘Why do you need to do that?'”
Charlotte Flair on telling her father “no” to a planned off the top rope spot:
“A lot of our men and women in all companies miss those all the time. I was like, ‘No, not needed, not necessary. Wasn’t necessary in your prime, isn’t necessary now. So, no.'”
