A Wrestling match at 74-years-old?
To which Dutch Mantell at SmackTalk said that he is not interested to see Ric Flair wrestle at the age of 74. He said,
“He said he’s been cleared to have a match…Please, Ric, please don’t have a match…Okay, anyway, that leads to a match, I know where it’s leading. Please don’t do it. AEW now is looking like “All Elderly Wrestling” really. I think a wrestler should have a cut-off age where they can’t get back in the ring anymore, basically, you talk about making it look folly,”
