10 Wrestling Matches So Annoying They Lose You In The First 60 Seconds

Ric Flair is 73-years-old.

So, to expect anything other than a smoke and mirrors affair heading into what had been billed as his "Last Match" earlier this year, would've been pretty darn foolish.

But even with that in mind, things still didn't get off to the most promising of starts for a final showing that eventually stretched on for a bloated 27-minutes.

The Nature Boy's training alongside eventual adversary Jay Lethal at least hinted at Flair being in some sort of shape to touch on a few of his greatest hits before letting the more capable hands take over.

From the second the fragile WWE Hall of Famer stepped in-between the ropes on July 31, though, it was clear this particular endeavour could turn ugly in a heartbeat. And the stand and talk smack to the brittle veteran in order to get around having to actually grapple them schtick grew stale within a minute flat.

Whilst executing a sequence he'd been hammering away at with Lethal in training, Flair looked dangerously frail early on and the longer the plodding encounter continued, the more uncomfortable the entire scenario became.

And news of Flair supposedly passing out twice during the never-ending contest only hammered home why a star in his 70s shouldn't be anywhere near a squared-circle.
