Ric Flair has had more than one “retirement,” so the answer depends on which one is meant. The two most commonly referenced are his WWE retirement in 2008 and his much later “last match” retirement in 2022.
WWE retirement (2008)
Ric Flair was born on February 25, 1949.
His famous WWE retirement match against Shawn Michaels took place at WrestleMania 24 in March 2008, which made him 59 years old at that time.
“Last Match” retirement (2022)
After coming back to wrestle again, Flair had a heavily promoted “Ric Flair’s Last Match” event in July/August 2022.
Because he was born in 1949, he was 73 years old for this final billed retirement match.
