Ric Flair just gave wrestling fans a dose of nostalgia, posting a backstage video from AEW in which he and Jay Lethal recreate their legendary 2010 TNA “Woo Off” staredown.
The two-time Hall of Famer framed the clip as a fun callback to one of the most beloved comedy segments in wrestling history.
The reunion carries an extra layer of meaning. Flair and Lethal last shared a ring in Flair’s own retirement match back in 2022, making this casual backstage face-off more than just a nostalgia trip.
Revisiting The Classic “Woo Off”
Back in 2010, Flair and Lethal took part in a now-iconic promo in which Lethal hilariously impersonated “The Nature Boy” while Flair fired back in character. The segment has remained a fan favorite for years, a showcase of the chemistry between the legend and the man who studied him so closely.
Lethal’s impersonation of Flair, complete with the strut, the robe energy, and the “Woo,” became one of the defining comedic moments of that TNA era. Flair’s backstage encounter at AEW serves as a fun nod to that classic on-screen chemistry.
Two Decades Of History
The pairing means a little more given their shared past. Lethal was an opponent in Flair’s 2022 retirement match, a bout Flair has reflected on publicly since hanging up the boots.
That history is part of what makes this lighthearted reunion resonate. Flair has been firm that his in-ring days are behind him, repeatedly stating he has no plans to return to the ring, even as he looks back on the match that featured Lethal.
