Royal Rumble 2018: Ranking all number 1 entrants part 1

#29 Doing nothing with Flair

Ric Flair, Royal Rumble 2007 (Duration: 04:01, Elimination Order: 1, Number of Eliminations: 0)

Ric Flair in 2007 was a shell of his former self, once a Royal Rumble winner but now one year away from "retirement". Flair had done it all in the business, could he make it to the top one last time?

Of course not.

In fact, that year at 'Mania, Ric Flair wouldn't even make it to the main card; relegated on the dark show for a tag team match with then protege Carlito. Whichever the case, Flair didn't do much in his short stay in the Rumble.

Instead, his final Rumble match only saw Flair in an eventful confrontation with his rival Kenny Dykstra before he got promptly eliminated by a vindictive Edge. This would be neither a big hoorah nor a disappointment.

Just another sign that it's time for Flair to hang his boots.
