I want to wrestle again right now. Isn’t it crazy? I feel like because, Ricky Morton, the guy that I should have chosen for my last match would have been great. Ricky Morton is still wrestling.
Flair spoke passionately about his dedication to training and getting into peak physical condition for his last match, revealing that he would train for three hours a day, five times a week.
I didn’t stop drinking or anything but I was training literally training three hours a day, five days a week in the ring, or I was doing the sled, the ropes. Yeah, I got my bench press up for two and a quarter. I mean, so from being dead to all that was pretty cool.
During the conversation, Ric Flair also named Steve Austin as the greatest of all time.
