“Why doesn’t (Flair) wrestle me? He doesn’t like me. He didn’t think I was a Horseman, right? He didn’t think I was Horseman calibre. He said it, so why doesn’t he get in that ring with Pretty Paul Glory Roma?
Bring Tully (Blanchard). We’ll bring him to ringside. Let me show you, and let me show the entire world how much a Horseman I really am. He’s not going to do it. You know what? I’m challenging Flair. Yes, I’m putting it out there.”
Paul Roma is a former professional wrestler. The 63-year-old made appearances with World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Federation between 1984 and 1995. He was a member of the Four Horsemen wrestling group and is a former PAPW Heavyweight Champion.
Ric Flair is yet to respond to the challenge from Paul Roma. In his recent interview, the 76-year-old revealed he passed out two times during his final match last month.
He also took severe bumps and bled due to the severity of the match. However, Flair and his son-in-law won the tag team match in Nashville.
Ric Flair appeared in the ring down in Puerto Rico six days after his tag team match victory. He brawled with Carlos Colon while El Idolo took on Carlito. WWC made an offer to Ric Flair to wrestle that night, but he turned it down.
The Nature Boy revealed at To Be The Man podcast that he regrets declaring the tag team match his last wrestling match.

“I wish I hadn’t said it was my last match; that’s gonna get heat. Hell, they wanted me to wrestle in Puerto Rico on Saturday night. I said, ‘Guys, I cannot get in the ring one week later.’
And the guy looked at me and said, ‘Well, you know what, could retire in Puerto Rico, can’t you?’ No, no, no, that’s not the point.”
