WWE legend Gerald Brisco recently expressed his concerns about Ric Flair's return to the ring for one final match.

Flair is making a comeback to the squared circle at the advanced age of 73. The legendary pro wrestler is scheduled to compete on July 31 in Nashville as part of Jim Crockett Promotions.

Obviously, the internet was torn about this bold decision from The Nature Boy. While some fans were ecstatic that they would get to see the legend compete one last time, others were worried about him being able to perform at this stage of his career.

Flair's old friend Gerald Brisco recently spoke at length to Sportskeeda Wrestling on a wide variety of topics. One of them is his concern about the 16-time world champion's return to the ring. He stated that Flair has a pacemaker, and a wrong move could dislodge it, which could prove to be fatal.

"My thoughts and prayers are with Ric Flair and I hope...he's got a damn pacemaker. It worries me. I talk to doctors and a certain bump in the wrong direction or a certain chop or something like that...that thing could dislodge it. He could drop dead. I don't want to see Flair drop dead. I don't want to be a part of that. I wish him well," Brisco said. [1:45 -2:09]
