Rare Ric Flair Tribute after Raw

[soha9702]

Tripl h King of Kings

[ChopperRead]

if u dont think Flair is the greatest of all time , then u dont know wrestling!

[Kuroudo93]

Austin just there handing out the beers :')

[kenjaminV2]

It's always great to see Ric Flair get these tributes. He means so much to wrestling, not just in the Carolinas, but worldwide.

[littledebbie187]

HAPPY 63RD BIRTHDAY RIC FLAIR, AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!!!

[jharpe99]

Isnt it ironic that HBK actually retired Ric from the WWE. and he led them out in this tribute.

[1988lilsaint]

@jharpe99 Not really!

[DoctorComics]

triple h says everybody leave.. and fucking everybody leaves.. thats the fucking game

[WHP517]

Miller Light: Official Beer of Wrestling Legends

[GregGregGregish]

wonder who bubba pissed off in 2004-2005 to get the boot

[Numero17x]

beautiful moment

[JeSsE4077]

Stone cold has a carton of beer

[gowwe12]

Damn, how many beers can that little cooler hold?!

[animeharu]

Umaga??

[butterfly19908]

Tommy Dreamer is a great guy four coming up with this because this was very cool to do this for him i cryed watching this

[theenforcer1977]

That's not the original World heavyweight Title belt Flair had in the NWA in the 80's. The original had brown leather not black.

[rabideaur003]

Flair was in the WWF back in the 90s, this was his last match before he went back to WCW. Than of course he came back after the Alliance Storyline, when he bought Steph and Shanes shares in company. He came back when WWE branched into the draft

[bigrigbob2010]

@rabideaur003 Note HHH put the World heavyweight belt on Ric's shoulder not the WWE championship, That belt wasn't in WWE until after WCW folded.also note some ex WCW and ECW wrestlers were in the ring here. WCW was already out of business a while before this happened. This was after his return and losing his "ownership" where he became a wrestler again. The guys just did this as an impromptu show of respect to Ric in his (for 25+ years he's from Minnesota originally) home state.

[jrekdal]

@rabideaur003 Wrong.

[wwechristianpeep4lfe]

THIS JUST MAKES ME WANNA CRY

[myedgars2]

WOOOOW

[TheAmbitiousFish]

I'm sure there was one hardcore Nature Boy Mark that night, went to the bathroom mid-match, came back, though Flair won the World Title, then cried when he found out.

and before you troll me, I am NOT disrespecting Ric Flair. i'm just saying, that probably happened.

[SuperSoundwave100]

I was there, i was there years ago.

[dentalun]

this is the main diference between the wwe and tna or wcw or whatever u want to call the federation RESPECT

[Kickedinthehead2112]

i love how they are all drinking!!! :)

[SuperJuliusC]

Ric Flair after the show: "Hey Vince do I get extra money for that tribute???"

[justinhayden]

how dare people in here say shit about ric flair jus cuz he goes to tna doesnt mean shit it jus means that he wanted a change of scenery alot of guys from wwe that joined tna did it cuz they had cinvudence in the brand i mean im glad tna came along i was tired of wwe this wwe that every week i needed a change

[linus614]

@justinhayden Um actually yes it does. Flair has no reason to go to TNA, it took Flair roughly a month in TNA to ruin his whole career. No longer will he b remembered for his matchs against Terry Funk, Steamboat, Sting or even Vader but he'll be remembered for being a embaressment. Way to disgrace the whole NWA Flair.

[bigrigbob2010]

@linus614 He had good but pretty sad reasons to go to TNA, 3 ex-wives 0 prenuptial agreements. Vince did offer him an ambassador/off screen job with the WWE but I guess it didn't pay what Ric needs to cover all that alimony.

[dtb1331]

If this was 98, Stone Cold would have stunned everyone. Great moment though.

[94fifa]

that's the nicest I have ever seen Stone Cold lol

[bigrigbob2010]

Probably meant as much To Ric as his retirement celebration seeing as it was not planned and done on a whim at the last minute by the guys.

[Sanchez417]

Hate to say it but 75% of the people in that ring are either dead or no longer with the WWE. Such a damn shame too because there is all that talent. And oh mmmmmm Stephanie too *drools*

[bigwurm27]

@Sanchez417 id love to eat stefs pussy when that slut turned 18

[MrHu58]

8 years later he stabs them right in the back

[TheSalman5555]

i hate ric flair

undertaker is true legend

[sheek973]

@marcewrnest7 your a dumb son of a bitch you that they have a right to pay tribute to him and you need to gt punch in your fucking face for asking such a dumb question like that

[ESFAndy011]

6 years later or so, he fucks off to TNA. :P

[leshy69]

@5:43 SHAWN MICHAELS TOTALLY COMES ONTO TO RIC FLAIR!!!

[monkeydude106]

But that was in 2002 and the videos a year later

[AR360daprinc386]

Look at austin handing everyone beer,

[marcernest7]

when was this and why did they pay tribute to him ?

[ARK124]

@marcernest7 This was raw after judgment day 03, I heard triple h said that the tribute was Tommy Dreamer's idea, the guys wanted to come out and pay respect for what Flair has done for the wrestling business.

[bigrigbob2010]

@ARK124 Shawn mentioned it in Ric's book too. He said everyone thought it was his idea but it was Tommy Dreamer who came to him and asked "Do you think you could get some of the guys together to go out to the ring, after the match, and kind of show Ric how we feel about him?" ( as Greenville was Ric's backyard ) Bubba said that "I told Vince afterward that this was everything that is good and right about our business" and "I was proud and honored to lift Ric on my shoulders"

[gowwe12]

@ARK124 Why that night?

[DAPDave]

This was in Greenville, SC right?

[ARK124]

@DAPDave Yep

[DAPDave]

@ARK124 I love that venue. I went there for the 1st time recently. Perfect size for WWE and the crowd is awesome. People were very friendly too.

[Tubewings]

That was the belt Ric wore for 12 of his 16 World Title reigns.

[TheRza1988]

I really though triple h was gonna win the title that night

[TRIGMASTER06]

The first of many tribute nights to ric flair lol. The way this happened at the time flair wasnt meant to have many more matches. Oh well.

[Insaneee100]

ching ching bling bling if your not talking money than talking dont matter

[DoubleX90]

Not that I have a trouble with it or anything but were they just paying tribute just for the hell of it. I am aware of the fact that this was when HHH got awarded the WHC and his 1st defense was against Flair.

[MrHellohel]

why is everyone leaving?????????????/

[dannelmarchese]

@MrHellohel Triple H made them all leave. Listen at the 5:30 mark, "Everybody leaving? Everybody leave so he can be by himself."

[MrHellohel]

bubba ray dudley looks like bossman,maven looks like mvp,flair looks like dino bravo

[TheAfh2011]

They made a tribute and said goodbye to him and the crying is all over the ring

then he returned like nothing happened before ,

once again they cried all over the ring and made a lot of Tributes and the fans thinks this the one that sticks , they thought this where all this goodbying is true and they will never see Flair in the ring again

The shocking thing he once again returned to wrestling like nothing had happened

then he will say goodbye to them and sign for wwe

[iPod82618]

look @ hurricane without his face-paint on .

[DamianValera]

Nunca lo habia visto ... que buenisimo !

[Mohi212]

haha, I like how Steve Austin is acting as the beer guy, passing it around . 04:11

[Mohi212]

Character or not, Vince still comes out walking like that, haha.

[oldschool6804]

@Mohi212 vince CHARACTER IS HIM IT'S NOT AGIMMICK

[817jesus]

this is very amazing!

lol stone cold with the beer!

[ZayH56]

this must have been his last world heavyweight championship match

[THEGAME3717]

Why they did this to ric?

[kbdemonbain]

what HHH says about when he talked about when this happened he was right Ric flair MADE that belt right there that is hey he put it on his shoulder

[kbdemonbain]

as great of a moment this was, rics farewell was so freaking emotional

[86Stooy]

Flair a true living legend. Just a shame he still has to work in a nothing promotion like tna

[Ryan40291]

The crowd sucked

[ps3tna]

I think Shawn was the only one without a beer lol.

[BOBBYSOX86]

They broke kayfabe

[86Stooy]

@BOBBYSOX86 Triple H won't be the scapegoat for it this time lol

[Kidanimation09]

LMAO Austin with so much beer...

[TheDodgerboy13]

Thumbs up to ric flair.your an awsome wrestler WHOOOO!im a ric flair fan

[KnockinOnHD2001]

[metamofia]

shawn michaels led the pack

[joshypooski]

[aaronglasson]

[shwank1968]

[Expectnomercy316]
