Prior to the event and to Sunday’s game 6 of the Stanley Cup final between the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche, Flair would take a selfie of him at the game which was posted on his social media via Facebook. However, it’s clear that he has been training quite hard as his face is clearly marked up. The photo can be seen below.

“There are two things that could go wrong,” Flair said. “My heart’s pacemaker can come unplugged, but I can plug it back in. The other thing, as Jeff [Jarrett] knows, I’ve had an inner ear infection three, four times in my life. One was when Jeff hit me with a guitar, and Jeff was actually going to drive me back home from Detroit. Those are the only two things I’m worried about. The blood thinners, I just won’t take one that day.”
He would continue: “After I took my first couple of bumps with Jay [Lethal], I had to be comfortable with someone I was training with, and Jay’s fantastic,” Flair said. “Once I took that first one, I took another. The more people that come to watch me, the more bumps I can take. In other words, now that I know I can do it, I’ll be flying around in front of 7,000 people. Probably not at warp speed! No, it’s running the ropes, doing drop downs, getting up, and drilling. It’s not taking the bumps. It’s the timing, the psychology.”
