Jim Duggan, who is a WWE Hall of Famer, is famously known for his gimmick of being a patriot and also for being the first-ever Royal Rumble winner. He retired from wrestling a long time ago, but actively appears at fan events. Meanwhile, The Icon retired from his in-ring career last year at Revolution but remains contracted with AEW, making sporadic appearances.

Despite the legends not wrestling anymore, this interaction on social media serves as an indication of how they are engaging with the wrestling community in their own unique way.
