@Nature Boy 2.0 I saw this and thought of you. 😁

And fittingly, Flair's final wrestling match ended Sunday night here at a sold-out Municipal Auditorium with the figure-four leglock, the finishing move that is synonymous with "The Nature Boy." Flair, 73, was the winner, of course, in a tag team match alongside partner and son-in-law Andrade El Idolo against the team of Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. The attendance was nearly 10,000, per broadcast provider Fite TV.

...
The finish came when Jarrett, a legend in his own right performing in his hometown, landed his signature guitar shot on Lethal accidentally when Andrade pulled Flair away. Flair's other son-in-law and the card's promoter, Conrad Thompson, threw Andrade a pair of brass knuckles from the front row, which Andrade passed to Flair. Flair landed a brass-knuckles shot on Jarrett and then put him in the figure-four leglock to end the match.

"This match is the most important of my career," said Andrade, an AEW star who is married to Flair's daughter and WWE standout Charlotte. "... This is unbelievable. I don't even have words for this. [Flair] feels better than guys 20 years old. He's an inspiration to me."
