Ric Flair hyped up the crowd ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.
On January 15, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Philadelphia Eagles in a Wild Card playoff game at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair made an appearance during the pre-game festivities.
Flair, wearing a custom "Nature Boy" Buccaneers jersey, walked onto the pirate ship at the stadium and hyped up the crowd while he was holding a sword. He then stood by while the Buccaneers' ceremonial cannon shot a few rounds. Flair proceeded to raise the sword as the announcer introduced the team. The Buccaneers' official Twitter account noted that Flair was the Captain of the Krewe for the game.
