WATCH: Throwback to Ric Flair failing to deliver people's elbow to The Rock at WrestleMania XX (Source: X)
Ric Flair posted an old video of him failing to deliver a people's elbow to the Rock. It was a segment during the match between the Evolution and The Rock n Sock. It was a 3-on-2 handicap match between the two sides with The Evolution having all the advantage in the world. While they ended up beating The Rock and Mick Foley, Flair had a failure in deliver a people's elbow to the people's champ.
Ric Flair took to Instagram and posted the video with the caption "Strike While The Iron Is Hot! WOOOOO! @TheRock," saying the importance of reacting quickly. The Nature Boy was right as he had enough time to execute the process but could not do so due to him taking a lot of time to endure the moment he was in.

The segment took place towards the middle of the match. While Foley was taken out by Randy Orton and Batista, Flair had The Rock in a good situation. The fans cheered Ric who sensed an opportunity to pull off a great feat. Batista asked Flair to get the job done quickly. But Flair delayed the process of delivering the people's elbow.
Evolution wins despite the hiccups
Batista asked Ric to get it done quickly. But the 16-time world champion took his time and slowly ran from the middle of the ring to one end of the apron. He returned to the middle of the ring and wasted more of his time. By the time Flair went to the other side of the ring, The Rock had got back to his senses. He jumped from his position and surprised the WWE Hall of Famer.
Ric did not expect it and the great one went behind him. The Rock delivered a series of punches before delivering the big hand. It did not affect the Evolution who had the numbers in their favor. With the young and energetic Batista and Orton in their side, the Evolution picked up a win. The video posted by Flair has been shared by fans on social media.
