Jeff Jarrett, who was an element of Ric Flair’s final match in 2022, said that the atmosphere in the world was different from the way it appeared on television.<\/p>\n

Jarrett was involved in Flair’s final match, teaming with Jay Lethal against Flair and\u00a0Andrade. The show was co-produced by Conrad Thompson, who recently spoke with Jarrett on the “My World<\/a>” podcast about UFC star Conor McGregor’s failed return to the MMA ring, comparing it to Flair’s own final match. Jarrett doesn’t consider that the legendary star’s final match was a failure, saying that expectations were too high.<\/p>\n

“You do not think we delivered at Ric Flair’s last match? What were they expecting? A five-star classic,” he asked jokingly. “I’m kidding. Let’s keep rolling. But the best way you cached that, I believed we delivered. The undercard was awesome.”<\/p>\n

When host Conrad Thompson said that fans were dissatisfied by Flair’s last match because they expected the Flair of his prime, Jarrett said that the atmosphere on the show far exceeded the way it got here across on screen.<\/p>\n

“Come on [on fans wanting a prime Flair]. The expectations, yeah, I get it. I’m\u00a0halfway joking, but I’m sure we have said it. For those who were there, it was a totally different vibe. For those who weren’t there, throw stones at it. And I’m okay with that,” added the Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

Flair’s final match was a automotive crash of sorts as he was busted open, and he then claimed to have passed out twice through the match on account of being dehydrated. He later shockingly revealed that he also had a heart attack within the match, which was won by him and Andrade. Flair had considered returning to the ring, but earlier this 12 months, he reversed course and said that he would never wrestle again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n
