Nature Boy recently turned 74 this February. Fans are aware that Flair had his last WWE match quite a long time ago in 2008. In his podcast, ‘To Be The Man’, he shared that he would have loved to wrestle Roman Reigns. Although he agreed that he faced a lot of issues while wrestling post-50, he wouldn’t have regretted taking on Reigns in his quest.

“Not while I was active, but the guy I always wish I could have wrestled even in my early 50s is Roman. He’s the only guy I wish I could have wrestled that I didn’t get to because I wrestled everybody else. Not at my best, but at least I got a chance to be in the ring with them,” said the 74-year-old.

Even after being past his prime, Flair did put on some memorable matches in WWE, and had Reigns been around at the time when Flair was still wrestling WWE, they have crossed paths. Incidentally, it was after Flair’s active in-ring career dwindled down, Reigns began taking center stage.
Still, fans wonder what might have been had Reigns with his Tribal Chief persona squared off against one of the best heels in pro wrestling, The Nature Boy Ric Flair. While we cannot guarantee it would have been a 5-star classic in the ring, the promo work from both men would have more than made up for it.
