Ric Flair vs Ricky Morton unlikely after Morton rules out one more match with 76-year-old WWE Hall of Famer

Ric Flair will not be stepping back into the ring for another bout with Ricky Morton, after the Rock ’n’ Roll Express star publicly shut down the idea following recent comments by the wrestling legend.

During a recent virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest, WWE Hall of Famer “The Nature Boy” Rick Flair, 76, revealed that he had been offered a potential match against Ricky Morton, saying he was considering it but that the two sides were not aligned on financial terms. Flair later clarified on social media that he would never wrestle again.



Morton, now 69, responded on social media, making it clear he has no interest in revisiting the rivalry either.

“As cool and exciting as it sounds, I’m going to have to pass on the idea of one more match vs. Ric Flair. Ric already had his last match, and it was an honor to be part of that show. Some moments don’t need a sequel. They need to be respected, remembered, and celebrated forever,” Morton wrote.

He added that if a match were ever to happen, the conditions would be strictly defined. “If we ever were to do it… It would be on my terms. It would either be in a @GCWrestling_ or @nwa wrestling ring.”


Flair wrestled his advertised final match in July 2022, teaming with Andrade El Idolo against Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal. While Flair appears firm on retirement, Morton remains active, continuing to wrestle dozens of matches each year on the independent circuit.
