Wearing iced-out chains, a classy patterned suit jacket, and a custom Bucs jersey, Flair made his way to the ship at the end of the field, where he spoke with ESPN’s Michelle Beisner-Buck and Robert Griffin III.

Flair then rang off one of his most famous lines, telling viewers, “If you wanna be the man you gotta beat the man.

“And right now the man is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wooooo!”

His appearance prompted huge excitement from fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, but some were left concerned for the icon’s health.

“Ric Flair’s face is so red I feel like he’s gonna pop,” wrote one fan.

Another said Flair, “Definitely has a red hue these days,” adding, “His clothing just accentuated it.”

A third fan simply said: “I know Ric Flair has had some ups and downs in his life in recent years but it makes me happy to see him having fun these days going on TV & on social media talking his jive at sports events!

“I wonder what kind of star he’d have been 40 years ago w/this media environment…..”

And a fourth commented: “Of course Ric Flair is there. The man is everywhere during this 19th life he’s been given.”

Flair, who one fan said is “Still styling!,” went on to head onto the ship, sword in hand, as the cannons signaled it was time for the game to begin.

A hyped-up Tampa Bay crowd watched on as the Bucs ran out comfortable winners over the Eagles.

The Buccaneers will take on the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday, January 21 at 3 pm ET.

They will battle it out to face either the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay Packers at the NFC Championship game.
