I needed to give it one more shot. I feel like I didn't go out the right way, and to have the relationship now that I do with Andrade, with Charlotte, to have a son-in-law like him to be a tag team partner, for him to tag with me and have the whole family there and his family, who I've gotten to know well, it was big for all of them. ## It was especially big for me because my entire family was there and the only person to get an opportunity to do that twice. Once in 2008 with Shawn Michaels and now with my son-in-law in Nashville, it was big," he said. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Ric Flair: 'I’ve Already Been Offered 10 Matches At 50 Grand A Piece'

During an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Ric Flair commented on his upcoming “last match” and explained why this will be his last match. ## “It has to be. That question, I get asked a lot. It will just have to be. Even if I do real well, I can’t go back on my word to the people that have given me all this respect and time and have bought tickets. I’ve already been offered 10 matches at 50 grand a piece. Over in Europe, a guy offered me $100,000. This will be the last one. I can manage somebody in the ring, but this will be my last match.” ## “It’s not about money at all. I’m great, money-wise. When I saw Steve (Austin) and Vince (McMahon) at WrestleMania, people have been asking me to do it. Some people offered me $100,000 to do it, and I thought, ‘Nah.’ I don’t want to go in and half-ass it, I need to really get in shape. I’m taking three months to get into shape, I feel great.## "I’ve had some ups and downs. I had plantar fasciitis, I still have it, but it’s almost 90% healed. I pretty much have that under control and I feel great. I don’t hurt, I don’t ache. Why not? Who doesn’t like the glory. If I pull it off, I’ll be bigger than ever. It’ll be more than a ‘Wooo,’ chop, and strut. I have to perform.” ## H/T: Fightful ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
