Ricky Morton says he’s going to ‘pass’ on match vs. Ric Flair
Ricky Morton says “some moments don’t need a sequel.”
Ric Flair recently mentioned that he had been approached about coming out of retirement to wrestle a match against Morton, though Flair said they were “way off on financial terms.” In a social media post on Saturday, Morton said he is passing on the idea.
Morton wrote:
“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 followed that up with a comment that if he were to ever have a retirement match, he would want it to be for either GCW or the NWA.
“& if we ever were to do it… It would be on my terms. It would either be in a @GCWrestling_ or @nwa wrestling ring.”
Shortly after Flair’s comments about wrestling again made headlines last week, he responded with a social media post confirming he will never wrestle again.
Morton was on the undercard for Ric Flair’s Last Match, the 2022 pay-per-view featuring Flair teaming with Andrade El Ídolo against Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. He teamed with his son Kerry Morton in a loss to Brian Pillman Jr. and Brock Anderson.
