Thanks for being a champ. I'm so glad you shared this!

[@5704nwredhawln]

Jay wrestled Flair's last match and Ricky's last match. This says a lot about Jay who has been one of my favorites for nearly 20 years.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Plus, he just wrestled Sting at the Aew pay per view three weeks ago

[@Lj-md9ng]

Jay is having fun.

[@NateNizzle]

Yup.. jobbing to guys who were wrestling before he was born while he is still trying to be taken seriously as a threat. Smh.. shame.

[@karlwilliams8906]

@Nate Nizzle Jay don't care. To him it's an honor to be wrestling against his childhood heroes. He has stories for his kids...

[@NateNizzle]

@@karlwilliams8906 and what's he gonna say when his kids say "Dad.. you lost to two men in their 70s?!"

[@AiryLarry]

I was in the crowd at Wrestlemania 3 for Steamboat/Savage - at that time, the best match I'd ever seen and the pop at the end was bigger than Hulk's slam of Andre.

[@freedomisntfree2089]

Well that definitely went better than Flairs last match...

[@davidkos74]

Thank you for posting this - I’m a huge Steamboat fan and had the pleasure to meet him earlier this year. He still looks great!

[@jasontyree7028]

That was an awesome Ricky Steamboat wrestling match! He made Ric Flair’s Last Match look absolutely PITIFUL! Ric Flair is my favorite wrestler, and I could care less if I see him wrestle in the ring again. I would love to see a Ricky Steamboat match again because he can wrestle.

[@Danny_S.]

Thanks Jordan for posting this. I'm not into wrestling like I was when I was younger, but it still is nice to see these heroes from my childhood. Jay must be very good and respected/trusted for both Flair and Steamboat to have him participate in their final matches so that they are taken care of and not hurt. Steamboat definitely has taken good care of himself. The Rock n Roll express guys, it's amazing they are walking still walking after how long they have been going and doing that high-flying stuff.

[@universaltalentbookings1389]

That wasn't Flairs last match . He went back on his word and is going back to the WWE for Royal Rumble 2023

Ricky looked great! And I’d like to see the Amish guy get a push. I’ve heard they wrestle like it’s 1899

[@frenchfan3368]

Thank you for posting this Lion! I was a big fan of Ricky Steamboat as well back in the Big Eighties. His matches with Randy Savage and Ric Flair are truly some of the greatest. Seeing Steamboat in this match brings back precious memories when my parents would have friends over for watching wrestling watch parties on an ancient contraption called a VCR tape. My parents were still alive then and I enjoyed every minute of those glory days.

[@iowa51106]

All the guys you ask for autographs were extremely nice people. Great sportsmen! Love to see “fanboy” having a great time.

[@kprnr7140]

Unlike Flairs last match I watched this and wasn't worried about Ricky having a heart attack. The Dragon was awesome! ❤️🐉

[@sheltonkristy]

Steamboat still looks amazing. Thanks for living out so many peoples childhood dreams Jordan !

[@donu3401]

I agree, Kristy. I was thinking of skipping the gym today until I saw this video. I have no excuses at 54. 😁

[@TheChipster61]

Jordon, I’ve enjoyed all your wrestling Vlogs, this one made me smile. I grew up watching regional wrestling with my dad. Being from NC it was Mid-Atlantic Championship wrestling. Men that are legions today. I can remember when they just starting out. I remember when when a young Ricky Steamboat first came on the wrestling scene. First time I saw him wrestling I knew he was going to be something special, and he was. It was good to see him in the ring one last time.

[@dougmeyers]

Love this! I love your channel because we both have a heart for wrestling as well as old TV shows and stars. Thanks for finding and showing many places and things that I have wondered about and find interesting!

[@sg2823]

Thanks Jordan, for sharing this! Kudos for Lex Luger for being there to sign autographs, he's been though some personal and health problems. All who were there to sign, are all class acts in the business. Ricky looked great out there. Imagine seeing Rick and Ricky back in the day wrestle to a 60 minute match!

[@andyadams420]

Thanks for this Jordan. Ricky the Dragon is one of my all time favorites and he is a living legend that is way underrated. Also Magnum TA was big and would've been bigger. I'm glad you got to meet everyone and also give us coverage. Thanks again kind sir!

[@joshuawaltz9484]

That was fantastic you met Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, got his autograph and saw is last match. Ricky is always in my top 5. Sting is 1, Ricky the Dragon 2, 3 Nature Boy Ric Flair, 4 Stonecold Steve Austin and 5 The Undertaker. Thanks Jordan.

[@joshuagumpert8910]

Nice top 5. Taker, Ricky, Flair, Angle, and Bret Hart are mine.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, I love all the 'Meet & Greets' with the old wrestlers, they all seem like really nice guys. Nice seeing them as they are now. Brings back so many great memories. Great vlog Jordan.

[@halbud]

Jordan Your vlogs just keep getting better andbetter!! Back in the early 80's we used to go to the Great american Bash at old Memorial stadium in Charlotte . Great memories!!

[@MakeLifeExtraordinary]

Dude, I forgot all about this, and I feel stupid that I didn’t go. Him and Savage, when Savage came off the top rope with the bell into Ricky‘s throat. That was incredible TV, and is still seared into my mind as one of the best feud I ever saw throughout the entire time of me watching wrestling. I was lucky enough, in central PA, to get pretty much every promotion on TV. AWA, NWA, WCCW, WCW, USWF, USWA, obviously WWF and the original GLOW. I’m sure there was a few more. But I was always amazed at the fact that I was able to pick up all of these wrestling companies on my local TV. Because it was before there were 1 million cable channels. Regardless, that must’ve been pretty amazing being at that match and Flairs last match. Again, I feel stupid I didn’t go. For whatever reason I didn’t even think about it. I think with ricks last match, I pretty much figured that he will probably wrestle again at some point. Lol. Ricky, I’m not so sure. Such great times, and great matches that I’ve seen throughout my entire life. I even went to Wrestling school when I was 17 and wrestled until I was in my mid 20s. I truly didn’t think I would ever have a shot at doing anything WWE, because all of their guys at that time or 6 foot 2+ and 250+ pounds. What I never realized it is, people like Ricky and Bret and Shawn were all 5’ 9” - 6’ or so tall. Many were under 210 pounds or so. When I started wrestling, I was about 6 feet tall and around 170. Which I would like to go up to 190 some odd pounds. This was before the Rey Mysterio’s, and Chris Jericho’s and such were around. Had I just held out and done it for another five years, I would’ve been writing to mix with all of those guys. My first match was in the same arena that Piper hit Snuka with the coconut and I believe it was the same place that Shawn kicked Marty and threw him through the window also. Which was the Hamburg Fieldhouse. In Hamburg, Pennsylvania. The funny thing is, when I wrestled there… Which I did a handful of times, and I also did commentary for them on sports channel. The Wrestling company was IWCCW. At least one of my matches was televised on sports channel. I wish I could get a hold of it. But in any case, I didn’t realize when I was wrestling there that those events took place there. I feel so blessed that I was able to have my first match in the same place that all of those historic events took place. Plus so many others that I probably don’t know were filmed there. The crazy thing is, the Hamburg field house is out in the middle of nowhere. Outside of Reading Pennsylvania. You wonder how Vince McMahon ever found the place. As I think it was a high school gym, that was actually located away from the high school. It was the perfect place, back then, because it could fit probably 500 to 1000 people comfortably. With it looking bigger on TV. But I’m sure, especially back then, that it was, easier to fill and obviously always looked pretty incredible on TV. I’m glad Lex was there and looking good. As well as so many other greats. Makes me sad. I wasn’t there with you, my friend. I hope everything else is well and you had a great Thanksgiving and have a great Christmas, if I don’t say something to you before then. Be safe and remain the happy go lucky person you are. We are a dying breed. Thank you for everything you do, making people feel like they are along for the ride with you. I truly appreciate this video and being able to watch these matches as you did. Brings out the kid in me every time.

!5:23 Rock & Roll Express vs The Briscoes. Those boys are pretty cool. The last few vlogs have been great Jordan! Loved the fact that Jay Lethal got to wrestle the last matches of two of his idols in Flair & Steamboat. I'm sure Lethal would have made a great interview. As a long time wrestling fan myself sometimes you have to mark out. Steiner was a cool guy too, met him & Jeff Jarrett along with Gillberg and James Ellsworth in Hanover, PA just before the pandemic.

[@ajzepp8976]
