Ric Flair Dealing With Foot Injury Heading Into Last Match

WWE

Ric Flair has commented on his foot injury, ahead of the Ric Flair’s Last Match event.

Speaking with Busted Open Radio, Flair revealed that he has plantar fasciitis heading into his retirement bout.

Noting that he has had to change up how he trains to ensure he’ll be okay come July 31, Flair said:

“I have plantar fasciitis in the bottom of my foot. Other than that, I am perfect. That damn thing is sore as shit. I’m at the doctor right now. They are gonna start injecting me with stuff.

(When asked if the injury will cause affect the match) “I would just deaden it if I have to. You know me. It affects me daily. It’s hard running the ropes with the center of your foot…the middle of your foot is so sensitive. I’ve been training hard, doing two-a-days.”

During the event, Flair will team with Andrade El Idolo to face Jay Lethal & WWE’s Jeff Jarrett.

Flair noted that he’s “happier it’s a tag. I can hide myself a little more (laughs).”

The real reason why Jarrett is able to wrestle this match, despite being the WWE Senior Vice President of Live Events has been revealed.
