As PWMania.com previously reported, Ric Flair and his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo will face Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal at the “Ric Flair’s Last Match” pay-per-view event on Sunday, July 31 in Nashville, TN.

WWE Hall of Famer Flair recently spoke with Busted Open Radio for an in-depth conversation about all things pro-wrestling. During the discussion, Flair addressed being injured leading up to the match.

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.”

In regards to the injury possibly causing issues with the match, Flair said the following:

“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.” Flair also said he’s “happier it’s a tag. I can hide myself a little more [laughs].”
