Ric Flair last wrested in 2011 when he was part of TNA. Since then, he has suffered various medical issues and, at one point in 2017, was on the verge of dying. Still, he would recover and even managed to get medically cleared to take bumps while in WWE two years ago. His aim was to get involved in the Team Hogan vs. Team Flair match in Saudi Arabia. Despite this, Vince McMahon would go on to reject any suggestions put forward, feeling it was still too risky.

Now though, with Flair no longer with WWE, he is free to participate in any activities he wants and revealed during the latest episode of WOOOOO Nation Uncensored that a promoter in Israel has reached out to him about wrestling AEW’s Sammy Guevara. Flair would confirm he was interested but requires $100,000 and even possibly wants to go over Guevara based on his comment.

There’s a promoter in Israel that wants me to wrestle your buddy, Sammy Guevara, in Israel. I said, “$100,000 and two first-class tickets, and I’m there. 50% and 50% after I beat Sammy.”

It wasn’t revealed who the promoter was, although as Guevera has previously worked for Gery Roif’s Israeli Pro Wrestling Association, there is a strong possibility it was he who wanted to book the match. Nevertheless, $100,000 is a large sum of money for any wrestling promoter to pay, so whether the match actually occurs is questionable. Previously, the most prominent names booked for IPWA were Matt Sydal, Billy Gunn, Darby Allin, Jay Lethal, and Guevera.

It is pretty surprising that a promoter would seriously consider having 72-year-old Flair compete; however, he recently got physical when he appeared for AAA. Alongside his future son-in-law Andrade, Flair would chop Kenny Omega and Konnan before putting his former WCW colleague in the Figure 4. While fans considered this exciting at the time, that likely is the most active any of his fans want to see the 16-time world champion get nowadays.
