Slick Ric Loses It

[MuscleHead93]

I swear Flair reminds me of my high school football defensive coach when he yells. But he had a point seeing as how the WWE is nowadays

[cjsellersofficialyt]

Flair will always be known as someone who can make wrestling great again, and also make everyone think he is insane

[MetalheadJay78]

This right here is why I question the morons that say Flair isn't the greatest of all-time! That passion and believability that Flair brings can't be beat. This is why Pro Wrestling sucks today. The younger guys aren't in it for the right reasons, they lack passion, and they don't have all the essential skills to be great. I will reiterate this fact over and over.There is no one who did more good for Pro wrestling than Ric Flair, and the best wrestlers of the last 25 years will tell you that too

[kbdemonbain]

i bet carlito is going...ye abut flair....looook at her....no shit im leaving i ain't stupid lol

[lveezy]

Yes he was wearing the same DX shirt that was released after HHH tore his quad and HBK wore the same t-shirt around this time.

[maxipops5]

Did the back of his shirt say DX?

[klac666]

Whatever happened to Carlito anyways?

[subzerowarrior1]

02:07 Torrie realises she needs a new man...

[BDaMan612]

Flair spoke the truth in this promo. I remember watching this and reading the reports that same week about them having Flair do this to light a fire under Carlito.

[coburnjs]

That was a shoot.  It was awesome!

[gchijioke12]

Flair: "The whole goddamn world knows who I am"

Crowd: "WOOOOOO"

lol

[MrRoyHutchins]

Flair did more to promote other wrestlers back in the day.Just having your name mentioned by him gave you instant ''street cred''in the industry.

[MrRoyHutchins]

The Nature Boy has got the scar's to prove it,just look at his forehead.Busted his ass for wrestling,and made it what it is today.I'm thinkin either this was scripted,or Flair actually see's something in this kid and wants him to be great.But he is telling him you cant ''half ass''anything to be a true champion.

[250mav]

that shits real!. ric could have retired 10 years ago and been considered the greatest ever. who the fucks carlito? hes prolly washing cars somewhere

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

Torrie rode "Space Mountain" after this promo......

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

29 guys like you are NOT in the Main Event!

[noblesiner]

This is real shit that flair is speaking. People want all the fruits of hard labor, without doing the hard labor.

[macnolds]

BEST. PROMO. EVER. Too bad it was wasted on Carlito.

[papillonaquatique]

Ric really makes you wonder if that wasn't a live shoot!

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

@papillonaquatique

It was, kinda.

Management wanted someone to light a fire under Carlito's ass

[edvhou812]

Ric is just pissed that he will never be as cool as Carlito. 

[MetalheadJay78]

@edvhou812 My friend, Ric Flair is the definition of "cool". People bow down to this, man and call him a God. Yeah, I'm sure Carlito gets that. By the way, what happened to Shane Douglas and Carlito? Two guys that obviously didn't open up their ears and listen to the greatest ever, Ric Flair.

[99Silverado53]

that girls mom road SPACE MOUNTAIN 25 years ago.

[Dx9698]

omg mental flair

[AZUREGLIDE]

From 1:40 is pretty deep, philisophical even, really nice bit. Ric simply rules - forever!

[AZ09astrophysicist]

CARLITO GOT ALL OF TORRIE'S ASS thats COOL!:D

[aleksandar93333]

60 and sttill the men

[aleksandar93333]

becouse that rick flair is rick flair and this men with crazy hair what is name ah yeesss carlito is carlito

[SpaceMtFlair]

Frickin' AWESOME!!!!!

[matt4lyfe]

Flair speaks truth. It sucks seeing guys with so much talent waste it because they just don't have the passion to get to the top. Carlito had the U.S. title handed to him on his very first match and he had a good character, but he just didn't care enough to keep it going. Him, Chris Masters, and Shelton Benjamin were supposed to be top guys by now. That's what I said in 2005, but they fucked it up one way or another.

[honourbridge]

Ric managed to encapsulate everything the business is about in a few sentences. Like the Rock said: IT DOESN'T MATTER

[beautifulsarah100]

Thank God I don't even know who this punk is. Ric should have kicked his fucking ass then fucked the whore.

[y2taner]

that's that's the ric flair!

[HooliganMovement]

Carlito was so talented too... now he's an afterthought.

[akuma4u]

after Flair walked away, carlito just continued leaving.

leaving all the way out of the WWE

[Armadillo0014]

Dic Flair.

[universalmanchild]

Flair doesn't realize it's a work.

[universalmanchild]

Wow Flairs really furious.

[OohErMrs]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooo!

[ResQ198]

Dementia is setting in quick for Dic Flair

[ShiningScar28190]

now thats cool!!

[TheHellrazor92]

i hate carlito

[Armadillo0014]

@TheHellrazor92

how can you hate that guy, he's awesome!

Ric Flair is a douchebag

[jscorpio316]

some of what he said was real......da best hands down

[ALEKSANDARRKO]

he dont lisent rick flair and loked now carlito

[Trey4Fun]

Best. Promo. Everrrrr.  Wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!oooo!­oooo!

[JordanC6819]

@wholefnshow1 i could'nt agree more

[pab75]

That was awesome!!!!!

[Crookmeisteren]

im sure he meant that when he was walking round forgetting who he is he meant it figuratively, like he needed to find out who he needed to be but he is quite old and it coulda come across that he is an old man losing his memory lol

[1EPowerUp]

torrie mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[wholefnshow1]

hey flair you old decrepit hypocrite, you sure showed some passion the night after you 'retired' when hbk beat you...crying like a bitch when all your buddies came to acknowledge your career but then you turn your back and make a farce out of it all when you joined that 4th grade garbage promotion TNA? are you fucking kidding me? you got the respect of everyone with the greatest send off ever and you spit in their faces to become a fucking jobber? where's the RESPECT for yourself? Hypocrite.

[meast99]

@wholefnshow1 I guess you never thought of maybe WWE FORCED him to retire?

[wholefnshow1]

@meast99 Flair said at the time he was sick of people with half-assed retirement matches and was going to man-up and not wrestle ever again...but he went back against his word to become a jobber to hulk fucking hogan. he's a disgrace and i hope the wwe takes both him and hogan out of the hall of fame....but unlike those two geriatric selfish fucks, the wwe actually has respect for their work.

[domamania]

@wholefnshow1 like them or not Hogan and Flair busted their ass in the wring for over 30 years. and if you think hogan is a disgrace, look at his facebook/twitter pics of his back that layed wide open with a artificail spine in him, he pasid a large sacrifice to entertain every body including hogan haters like your self. and until you step in hogan shoes and bust your ass for 30 years, then dont talk the talk and walk the walk.

[jxn1983]

Carlito with no respect= ASS CHEWED

[oldwrestlingluv]

I cried a little on that! That was awesome! Wave bye-bye to the good ole wrestling days, guys.

[Blaw716]

well look at carlito now

[papachasher101]

lol" the whole god damn world knows who i am..........exept me sometimes" wooooooooooo love ric fliar

[mhrfg]

@papachasher101

I think what Ric meant is.. he's an orphan, was orphaned. He doesn't know who he "really" is. So he became "Ric Flair". The man you see on TV, in the ring, THAT'S HIM. Not a character, It's him.

[rlouie05]

Flair said McMahon instead of Mr. McMahon... that alone made this a more believable worked shoot.

[princesstamika]

This is how I feel about 70% of the women in wrestling and 90% of the women employed by WWE.

Anyway, this was a shoot. This is why Carlito has never been pushed since his debut.

[R654654]

i think flair was drunk hahahaha CARLITO ROCKS!!

[dazzylfc]

FLAIR OWNED THIS KID

[cjdacomedian]

ric sounds like my history teacher

[Arcticclaws]

I think Flair is drunk half the time he cuts promos.

[toyotas2006]

Whether you like it

Or you DON'T like it

LEARN to LOVE IT

Because it's the best thing going today!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!

[zzirk]

THAT was a verbal slap in the face haha

[CraigJericho]

Flair basically motivated Carlito to step his game up a notch & prove to himself that he wants to be in the business.Good stuff

[sinansercan]

FLAIR DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS!!!!

Just kidding great promo

[xman6918]

shoot!!!

[buckbumble]

i dunno, it was a backstage filmed segment, but it could have been a shoot. Atleast, im sure he agreed 100% with what waqs written for him.

[xman6918]

true plus i kno that flair was upset at this time about carlito lack of work ethic ans RSXemperor made a good point a few comments below about the situation as well

[EricV1]

I smell a shoot too. People have talked about Carlito being lazy and having no passion. The look on Torrie's face at the end was priceless. lol

[abeedakbar]

WOOOOOOOOO

[SaiJ4You]

because flair has passion for wcw wwf and wwe

[gtz1975]

@SaiJ4You and nwa

[baria87]

what do you do? going out with Torrie or watch the Triple Threat match? i would choose Torrie 100%

[DeLaFey1777]

None of these new guys truly live wrestling like Ric and the older guys.......take away the lights and money...and what do you have?.....business. Flair has wrestling in his blood.......few wrestlers today would have chosen this profession 25 years ago.

[ambergay]

Did anyone else think Carlito looked really hot at that moment? Sorry I couldn't help his face... lol.

[MrGemini28]

Inspired!

[sychojake3]

i think that was real emotions from ric flair.....woooooooooooooooo!!!­!

[RSXemperor]

This promo was directed at the younger guys but three guys in particular:

Carlito/Shelton Benjamin: Getting pushed but not holding up their end of the bargain. Shelton gave more effort but not enough to match his push and Carlito was coasting by on mediocre matches including one with Mick Foley.

Randy Orton: Vince had apparently had it with Orton's attitude towards fans and his disrespect toward them and threatened to release him. This was also a message to him.

[toyotas2006]

Welcome to OWNAGE!

Feel free to stay awhile

[Louis2boricua1]

this is halirious just look at carlitos t face i wonder what he where thinking

Carlito: wtf man are u drunk again? damn thats not cool getting drunk in job chill out i dint do nothing to u yet 2:05 yeah u better walk away i was getting ready to spit in your face.... oh dont let me cash u with a heineken

[thewho12344]

thank you ric WOOOOO if you wanna be the man you gotta beat the man

[wackondkaka]

thats not cool

[FoCuS138]

ric is correct, he really doesn't know who he is. he thinks hes ric flair, the nature boy, WOOO!, not richard fleir.

[FoCuS138]

lol. the funny thing about this interview is that, even though it was pre-determined, naich meant it, and he probably didn't rehearse a single line.

[sheek973]

man shut up stay off his lawn........smh your a stupid son of a bitch aint you

[pete123ca]

I kept waiting for Flair to tell Carlito to stay the hell of his lawn

[wrestlemaniack1994]

that, THAT, was passion!

[wackondkaka]

no thats called acting

[WECENANUFF]

Idiot.

[MartinGiacomo]

Now that's Old School for you. Thank you for sharing words of wisdow that every aspiring wrestler should hear and know.

[Michael1972]

Tell'em, Ric

[hotcheerios911]

You tell'em Slick Ric!

[CENAnation101]

now thats whats cool!

[prettylatina86]

carlito is fine as hell!!!

[toyotas2006]

That's called OWNAGE!

[enjoyitbro]

they bleep out ass but let him say God Damn.  Priceless

[Amisbro]

the British networks are ass backwards as far as censorship goes

BBC America lets Gordon Ramsay say shit and bullshit but not f**k

Yes I know...quirky as all hell

[ianhitman]

@Amisbro because WWE is broadcast of a sports channel aimed at everyone from the age of 4 to 80. Sky Sports doesnt want bad language or women getting put through tables or any of that shit.

[carbomb19]

Ric's baby dolls are all in a frenzy....man, I wish I had baby dolls that could be in a frenzy too.

[VolumedMusicMan]

Ric should've had this outburst in a closed lockeroom session with the other younger guys like Randy, Cody, Ted Jr, and so on... Those punks have worse charisma than Greg Gagne.

[theFaded01]

I wish some of my art professors would give everyone a pep talk like that.

[DoctorLech]

One of the best Promos ever!!

[knivesvii]

This is the best damn shoot promo they ever did

[EBKemanon]

GET OFF MY LAWN

[ElCuervoLoco]

This wasn't a shoot from Ric Flair it was a shoot from the agents and Vince to Carlito and the others. What Ric forgot to mention was Carlitos father.

[EricV1]

This whole promo is true. Flair shot on not just Carlito, but all the young arrogant kids in the back. They fly all over the world in first class, have guranteed contracts, rental cars, making lots and lots of money, yet they forget about people like Flair who busted their ass just to see to it that guys like Carlito have a job in WWE. To me, all the arrogant young guys such as Carlito there are lazy and they need to step up.

[LetsRide21]

it was a shoot at Carlito and Shelton Benjamin

[KombatStar18]

This was actually suppose to be a shoot directed towards Randy Orton and a few non main eventing guys, not just Carlito. It's just that they didn't want to set up a feud between the two because that was already done.

[zontonerwwe9]

tell it like it is flair!!!nobody is going to work as hard as you did!!flair is simply the best

[NoLoveWrestling]

all i gotta say is PWNED

[sparced]

Shoot on Ric Flair and the man locks himself in his dressing room and weeps. Just ask Scott Steiner.

[icedaddy27]

who gives a shit if he cries in his room, he fukkin deserves... hes got more talent in his pinky than steiner... steiners entire mic skills revolve around "got your hook up, holla if u hear me" which im sure nash or some writer just pushed on to him.. hes trash and needs to stop talking shit

[werdorino]

tru dat

[ed2kou1]

I believe everything STEROID BOY SAYS! Kinda funny STEROID boy is the only one that says shit like that! STEROID BOY is jealous of Flair! Flair's greatest ever! WOOOO

[GerryDisthename]

One of the best promos of the decade definitely.

[notyoursavior78]

Damn right man! Thumbs up!

[Gnarpat]

@GerryDisthename

ric flair recently commented that it was one of his worst

[GerryDisthename]

@Gnarpat Seriously? Surprised by that. Where did he say that?

[Gnarpat]

@GerryDisthename

recent interview look it up it was in the UK Sun or something

[notyoursavior78]

Woooooooooooooooooooo!

Ric Flair delivers a epic speech that had gotten played on a local sports talk show on Fridays during thier "take a seat segment."

[notyoursavior78]

Thanks O for the thumbs up, this was a great speech. I don't watch the current wwf/wwe anymore, but I heard this speech first on a local sports talk show.

(yes I know I am responding to myself, but I can't give myself a thumbs up either ha).

[bono597]

You can tell when this promo turns from a script to a shoot. Look at Carlito's face change. This promo is a message to every wrestler in the business and Flair basically lays down what the wrestling business has become in 2 freakin' minutes. Brilliant!

[icedaddy27]

honestly i dont think its a shoot at all, carlito and flair went on to tag after this, it was worked that this would happen but the fact that it seems shootish just goes to show how good flair is

[Blaw716]

Honestly it was a shoot cause if u remember at that time carlito wasn't really showing anything in the ring and they wanted ric to do the shoot cause ric can really get the word out.

[icedaddy27]

maybe but, i honestly doubt it was a pure shoot, he may be talkin the truth but next week they were tag partners

[Yorkdel69]

Ric is speaking for many of us with that promo ...

[olivecj]

now that is a fucken promo. Carlito couln't even come close to that in his shitty career!

[jswags]

definitely! Brilliant promo and its more of a shoot than most people know! Carlito sucks as do most of the guys in the lame ass WWE today

[Cable32]

@olivecj he did with his promo on Cena about Sheamus defeating him @ TLC

[MrDaddyCool3]

What a promo lol and still carlito hasnt changed. Yes i no it was a storyline but we all know ric ment every word he said to carlito.

[hbksharpshooter]

Thats why i love Ric Flair he has passion for this bushiness 24/7 no matter if he is retired or not

[sparced]

this was about one minute too long. yeah guys like me, like me leaving, walking around, repeating him myself, yeah repeating himself. guys like you.

[wereherepwns]

I really wish Ric Flair would say this to other guys.

[Weaponhead7]

So anyone wanna talk about the promo?

A great and strong promo and Carlito was the perfect guy to play it off really, the guy needed to step it up and who better for a freak out then the Nature Boy

[madmanninc]

i hate fuckin chiwawahs(i dnt giv 3 shits if i spelt that last prt wrong!)

[CaboArmorKing]

Chihuahua's. I think. Whatever, i hate those things too.

[rainmaker555]

i've never been the biggest flair fan but i respect all he's done in the business and his accomplishments..

i get chills every time i watch this..

[virakhvar321]

me too!

[sheek973]

no she wasnt holding a rat you stupid bitch she was holding a puppy god damn

[TGautier421]

people like carlito were taking flairs spot because SOME people take a while to realize when they should've put up their boots

[bull864]

what's that chick holding?? a rat?

[abredell]

Cena is not in the WWE for money and fame. he paid the price to be the best in the WWE. he's one of the best ever to grace the ring. Batista did the same thing now look at him.

[ys246]

wow !

what a hair style CArlito has

[soln4suhreborn]

FLAIR SNAPPIN'!

[ubitch15]

Get Him!!!!!!!

[mike553]

Haha I've never heard Ric Flair swear this much.

[draganryo]

Ric was the best. PERIOD! WOOOO!!!!

[niggawitanaditude]

ha ha damn! ric flair cuzzed his ass out! but naghty by nature bois gotta LEGIT point bout sum yung upsatarts..

[tn270585]

I am sorry but... what?...

[WaterPokefreak]

"The whole world knows who I am! Except me sometimes!"

[Tremontilover]

Gosh, he was feeling it. What he was saying was so true!

[ILLUMANOV]

SLICK RICK SHOULD KICK HIS HEAD OFFFF

[jblive1985]

ric flar is indeed the man

[civ4god]

I've never heard Flair curse so much.

[sinansercan]

He wants to figure out who the hell he is?

I could make a Ric Flair is Crazy Video right know:D

[IKEEICHOLTZ]

That was outstanding. It may have been a worked segment but he meant every word he said.

[Notoriousagc]

"carlito isnt in the main event, so what do i care?" LMAO that was hilarious....RIC will be missed HONESTLY

[Bondfinesse]

Ric flair has always been my fav. wrestler for many many years and he has always been about style, but what has happened to his hair...it always looked so damn good but now i hardly recognize him.

[arschasse2]

this is why ric is the best in the biz !

he makes it look so real!

[Notoriousagc]

i think this was a shoot kinda...maybe vince wants the younger dudes to CATCH ON who better than Ric Flair who LITERALLY IS the business

[EricV1]

Agreed. All the young guys should listen to Flair if they want to be something in the business. Flair lost it on Carlito because he's got no passion for the business and is just coasting by.

[uzzy2k5]

one of the realist things ever said, i pray ric flair stays backstage to teach the young kids what it means to be a wrestler.

[twiztidlestat]

This was so SERIOUS, And it was pretty shoot in my opinion. Carlito is not as great as he thinks he is.

[vodoly]

that's a shoot 110%Pep talk of the year

[Justabiglooser]

He's telling the truth.

Almost more real critic on guys like Carlito then a promo.
