“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair only gets on WWE TV to talk about his daughter Charlotte Flair and to give insight on Pay Per View matches.

The 16-time World Champion went to Twitter Wednesday to show that he is still stronger than us. The video shows him deadlifting 400 pounds, which is insane. When I first started watching the video, I thought he wasn’t going to be able to finish the lift as his knees were shaking like a leaf.

He pulled it off and it makes you wonder if he is thinking about one last match at this year’s WrestleMania?

He kinda looks terrible for only 67. Tom Coughlin is older than him.

I was impressed more by this guy who just rode a bike to set a record at 105 yrs old

That is impressive for 67.

I deadlift over 300 pounds every time I stand up. :)

Phony weights on bar. "David Blaine" weights.

Haters gonna hate. Does not appear to be phony when he drops the bar. 67 year old dude outperforming much younger internet keyboard warriors.

How about this guy:

85 year old running a sub-4 hour marathon.

You understand Flair is a showbiz performer and this is pro wrestling? As an adult, it is reasonable to articulate skepticism about pro wrestling.

LOL. He is not wrestling in the video. He is lifting weights. Whatever.

Great when old people pull of physical feats.

My normal run is 4.5 miles with a 1,000 foot climb. The other guy I see doing it on the reg is an 84 year old named Phil. Phil runs with his shirt off no matter the temp or weather. Phil is the man.

Woo!!! You want to be the man you got to beat the man.

You can see the bar flex when he lifts it. That isn't phony weight.

Another variation on David Blaine's bent coin trick.

It is not wise to question the "nature boy". You may find yourself locked in the unbreakable figure four. :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

400 pounds is not all that difficult to deadlift. Its above average for the typical male regardless of age and its impressive for a 67 year old to do it, but its not unrealistic either given that the guy has been lifting for decades. Certainly doesn't warrant "fake weights" like you want to claim.
