ric flair farewell - leave the memories alone

[TheMadStork83]

Ric & Shawn tore the stadium down at WrestleMania XXIV. By far, the best match on that entire card.

[lampost12]

That match was the hardest match I've ever had the pleasure of watching the whole time knowing it could be over at any time I'll be honest I cried a little but only because of how my I respect ric and I'm glad to got to see the end

[wwecenavsmiz12]

this make me cry everytime i see this

[ranvirgill39]

ric flair turned his back to us and went to tna lets go to his house with ak-47 and tell a bed time story

i am just kidding but i am still mad that he went to tna why not wwe?

[badass87irocz28]

how to you have an amazing emotional retirment like this and piss all over your legacy by going to that other horrible Low Budget Company on Spike TV? I can't wait to see them try to copy this the day Flair finally steps down for good because I am sure they will try to copy this in about 10 years just like everything else they tried to repeat...

[OmniSlashVersion9]

will you believe if i tell you that this man performed in front of 78,598,911,256 fans in his career.

[Sheamuscoronation]

@OmniSlashVersion9 thats impressive considering the world contains 9,000,000,000 people

[xXMeTalZXx]

@OmniSlashVersion9 dumbass

[feefee209]

he lied he sayed he wont wrestel in a ring agin so fuck u ric flair

[Kodkody]

@feefee209 first of all, ric is still an idiot for going to tna, but he said in "this" ring again.. which he means the wwe ring. no disrespect i still have hate for him but just wanted to make sure you got the right information.

[borat4421]

@feefee209 he said he will never wrestle in THIS wring again. he didn't lie

[Think1ndependent]

Im not gonna bullshit, i shed a little tear when i saw this

[mrnice115]

Diamonds are forever.....

[joboyking]

5 months later...

[tammyfannlee]

Hi uncal rick ilu

[Zunigaistheman]

I remember recording his farewell address the night before I had surgery. I can't count how many times I kept watching that night over and over :)

[blabla1124]

I love him...  hi was the best in the world.... woooooo!

[MrMarkuzzu]

onore a Ric Flair !!!!!

[scootersrbrad]

im over wrestling now, but i remember watching this on tv. i cried :(

[JohnCenaRocks2TV]

[TheShiningKnight1]

I always get a lump in my throat when I see this #thankyouric

[dachwry]

[OGJokerJKA96]

when HBK came down to the ring, thats when i broke down...

[KGB4070]

randy orton weren't even clapping -_-

[XBOXCR42YJ3NK1]

@KGB4070 staying in character!

[musicgladiator]

what are they chanting at the end there? Just curious. I LOVE that Fuel song at the end. I was searching for a video for that song actually and came across this video. Haha....brings back memories. I used to watch Ric as a kid back in the 80's when he was always the 'bad guy' and I hated him!!! He played his roles well in the wrestling world. Kinda neat to see him again in his final stages as a pro wrestler. Bless his heart.

[jeffkools]

@musicgladiator Thank You Flair

[123nigahigasucks]

Who cares if he went to TNA? He didnt come back to wwe cause hes retired.

[AlexanderG2010]

Long live "the Nature boy" Ric Flair!

[CRoadwarrior]

Rich was ALWAYS a punk, hardly ever won fairly, and had no real talent.

[Sk8Freak0]

i miss ric :'(

[Brokencyde504]

Why didnt Shawn Michaels get this? =/

[kingdaleclarke]

@Brokencyde504 because shawn michaels is gay

[Brokencyde504]

@kingdaleclarke k you're either:

A. Dumb kid age 6-13 that doesnt know what hes talking about.

B. A troll.

C. an idiot.

HBK is one of the greatest of all time.

[kingdaleclarke]

@Brokencyde504 hahaha hbk sucks admit it, hell be cool if he actually had shot hair like a man. and no im 18 biatc and hardly into wrestling nowadays like i was when i was a kid, just stating a fact, you should grow up bet your like 18 aswell and jerk off ovr cena

[Brokencyde504]

@kingdaleclarke k So its obvious you are C. an idiot. Because basically what you're telling me is Shawn Michaels is gay because he has long hair. That right there makes me wonder why im even replying to your immature ass. 18? Guess you're a late bloomer. You said you're "hardly into wrestling" so dont come on here acting like you know shit. Your opinion doesn't count.

[kingdaleclarke]

@Brokencyde504 i know it doesnt count, and neither does yours, your a nobody like me achieved probaly less than i have, doubt anyne gives a shit what your fat moon faced ass thinks

[Brokencyde504]

@kingdaleclarke My opinion counts because I know what im talking about. Yours doesnt because your immature, you dont know anything about wrestling, and you use "gay" as an insult. Like seriously? are we in the 6th grade? Grow up. And maybe you have achieved more than me, but i know one thing. Your dumbass aint going to college. Have fun in the fast-food industry junior.

[kingdaleclarke]

@Brokencyde504 hehehe how does your opinion count? your a nobody talking over youtube its not like anyones judging are opinions no1 gives a shit mate

[Brokencyde504]

@kingdaleclarke Why do you think theres a comment box here? Its for wrestling fans that actually know what they're talking about to discuss their opinions on the video. I dont have to be a celebrity to have a conversation about wrestling. There's many topics to talk about in wrestling just like politics. Maybe nobody cares about YOUR opinion because you go around saying things like "hell be cool if he actually had shot hair" or "Shawn Michaels is gay".

[umagarandyorton619]

@Brokencyde504 cuz if I remember well, HBK said he didn't want a farewell ceremony, but I'm not sure.

[XXXUFCfreakXXX]

What?... there isnt a tear in my eye.....

[Erionnacirema]

Ric Flair IS, the "Muhammad Ali" of the sport of Professional Wrestling.

There will NEVER be another like him, in this lifetime.

In my opinion, he's in the Class of Ali, Jordan, Magic, Russell, Reggie Jackson, Kretsky, etc.

That RARE breed of person with attributes that can't be DUPLICATED by anyone else.

What I've always liked about Flair is that:

"He DID IT, HIS Way..................."

[shadows124]

It's very sad, but I don't regret him leaving. He was getting old, and if he kept wrestling he would have likely gotten hurt. He already decided to leave, before the match between him and shawn michaels, He just wanted to go out with a bang.

[mrbeefcake0359]

absolute goosebumps

[XBOXCR42YJ3NK1]

@RawisCain Randy Orton... Nuff Said!

[TheKingofShow]

ric flair and hbk is goin in the same way at wrestlemania !

[TheTiger151]

sorry dude when you got gray hair you shold have been gone

[spinking458]

@TheTiger151 He had gray hair his whole career, and that never stopped him.

[TheTiger151]

@spinking458 haha



[TheVamp1res]

There will NEVER be another Rick Flair or someone who could bring so much to the game like Rick Flair did WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[POHiggins]

very sad to see Edge at the front of the WWE wrestlers applauding Flair, and for him to retire only afew years later himself! :(

[SwedishRKO]

does anyone know the song when Triple H is coming out??

[XBOXCR42YJ3NK1]

@SwedishRKO Motorhead - Time to play the game

[SwedishRKO]

@XBOXCR42YJ3NK1 i mean promo song :P

[wwemitch]

@SwedishRKO motorhead - the game

[AP450splash]

i still feel sad when i see this

[MontageWatcher88]

and now that hes in TNA XD

[badass87irocz28]

Ric Flair was/is the man. I really mean that. and he went out on top in the WWE with his last match at wrestlemania against HBK. and as much as i still love flair and respect his love for wrestling i really believe he kinda pissed all over his WWE retirement and legacy but going right to TNA shortly after. Nothing against any wrestler in TNA because 99% of the roster is amazing, it's just TNA the company and Hogan and his ego who unlike flair has always been out for himself. you're the man FLAIR

[danuvideos]

wtf was cena doing there..

[TheSalman5555]

wtf ric flair never retire he now in tna hahahahaha ric flair fool wwe

[trish4796]

@TheSalman5555 ur a retard he said he would never wrestle again hes not wreslting in tna da u retard hes like a manager

[solleticosoffro]

Oh guys, I'm in tears too...

[nikoniko9898]

Shawn cried for Ric, but Shawn is much better than Ric!! Ric should cry for Shawn when he retired. that was the saddest moment in the history of WWE, and he deserved a much bigger farewell tribute than Ric Flair..... I miss Shawn :(

[gusyyy23]

Wooooo

[Fe2nando]

AUSTIN deserved a farewell like this

[umagarandyorton619]

Seriously? In my opinion, I don't give a fuck if he is in TNA, saying he didn't deserve a tribute like that is too much. Jeff Hardy is also in TNA and NOBODY curses or blames him... AND YES, I did cry. This song is beautiful, the tribute is emotional.

So show a little respect for the guy.

[XBOXCR42YJ3NK1]

@umagarandyorton619 Jeff Hardy now sucks since he became a fucking prick!

[umagarandyorton619]

@XBOXCR42YJ3NK1 Yeah, you may think this, but other people (I'm NOT included in this list) think he still rocks and all. I don't worship Jeff Hardy, like much people do. In fact, he has never been one of my fav superstars.

[Brokencyde504]

@umagarandyorton619 Well Jeff Hardy is still young enough to have a career. Ric Flair should have just retired after this. WWE gave him SO much and he just goes over to their rival company? I mean seriously if he still wanted to be involved with wrestling, why couldnt he just do something for WWE? RAW GM? WM Host? Manager? Something backstage? Does he seriously still need to compete? I just think it was a slap in the WWEs face for him to go to TNA. Just my opinion.

[umagarandyorton619]

@Brokencyde504 yeah, you may be right there, that's what I would probably do, but still, there's no need to disrespect the guy, tell him to f*ck himself or call him names... just that :)

But yes, it was a slap in WWE's face anyway...

[Brokencyde504]

@umagarandyorton619 Yeah I just dont know what to think of Ric Flair. And I agree about the name calling thing. However one name i will call him is hypocrit, because Ive seen an interview of him trashing TNA a long time ago. Look at him now. Lol.

[umagarandyorton619]

@Brokencyde504 lol, you bet :P

[101JPen]

@umagarandyorton619 sorry but don't compare flair and jeff,

[umagarandyorton619]

@101JPen I know, but I had to use Jeff as an example

[lonnyv1]

@umagarandyorton619 RicFlair is only Tna beacause he has to pay 40 grand a month in elmony, so he needs money.

[umagarandyorton619]

@lonnyv1 Lol :P

[TheLizardKing1967]

@lonnyv1 But on the other hand, his shoes cost more than your house!! Woooooooooooooooo

[nwolwo]

@lonnyv1 its not just that theres stories about him throwing away money in the 80s then he made it back in wcw but was a big waster hes just not that greatest with money

[TableKMusicVideos]

@umagarandyorton619

You kidding me? So many people hate Jeff for just being in TNA.

[WisdomRiver]

@TableKMusicVideos why do people hate certain people for joining another wrestling company? who gives a fuck what company they wrestle for?

[TableKMusicVideos]

@WisdomRiver

Exactly. The reason though is because people who claim to be wrestling fans are usually fan boys to a specific company. So they hate everything about other companies and can't stand if someone from the company they like goes there, but then they are all over people coming from that company or unheard of companies, hypocrites man.

Real fans don't give a fuck about what company, they just came to enjoy some good old fashioned wrestling!

[newagepun]

@WisdomRiver In Ric Flair's case, it was suppose to be his official retirement. Even Shawn got him a retirement watch. Months later, Flair apparently needed the money so screw retirement plans and onto another company willing to give him some cash. Which is rather sad considering there are many of his peers who aren't in the ring anymore and enjoying life as it is doing other projects.

[WisdomRiver]

@newagepun true but, you gotta do what you gotta do to get by man...if he needs the money show some respect man..plus hes not actually wrestling..anymore..hes more like a manager...

[newagepun]

@WisdomRiver uh not really. Guys his age who didn't squander their money off to please women or 'naitched' it throughout the years are living better off than he is. Recently he DID have a wrestling match which he incurred an injury over. So no respect given considering he's just using his name and noteriety to continue getting by with his habits. He's just like the young kids still trying to hustle to make a living.

[WisdomRiver]

@newagepun true...but, what does it personal life matter to us fans? 

[newagepun]

@WisdomRiver when fans bring it up to try prove something he isn't? I got nothing against his legacy in ring and the fact he continues to milk it for all its worth because honestly, that is all he has. Its rather sad now considering his age and what his video ceremony meant absolutely nothing, even making more of a mockery out of his legacy.

[umagarandyorton619]

@TableKMusicVideos And so many people love him. Like I said before, not everyone does love Jeff, but most part of people does.

[TableKMusicVideos]

@umagarandyorton619

Yeah

[umagarandyorton619]

@TableKMusicVideos yep.

[extremevoltigeur62]

@umagarandyorton619 Cause Jeff Hardy had no retirement ceremony...

[umagarandyorton619]

@extremevoltigeur62 neither did Umaga or Lance Cade. And in their case it's worse, cuz they're dead, so it's even more disrespectful. Is like they've simply forgot them. What, just cuz Umaga was a heel? Who cares? I mean, I'm not saying it's fake, they do get hurt, but it's scripted. Not referring to you, but people need to grow up, that's what they need to do.

[NSammy68]

I lost the respect i haved for Flair. Hes making a fool of himself in TNA. Flair you full of shit old man.

[solleticosoffro]

@NSammy68

You are full of shit, old sammy68!!!

[Baronwwe]

Wooooooooooo Vs dusty Vs harlie race Vs Ricky Vs hulk

[badass87irocz28]

I still love Flair. But when he retired at the top of his game wrestling his last match against HBK at wrestlemania and not to mention the retirement ceramony the next night on raw, he pissed all over his legacy by tring to wrestle in TNA...It's all good...Flair is Still the man tho anyway...

[hadhripop]

u make me cry man thnx

[pivotchocolate]

im not going to lie ric flair will always be one of the greatest wrestlers in history of wrestling but unfortunetly when he left you can see not just raw but the WWE is now changed it isnt the great sport i loved to watch everything has changed there are way to many new wrestlers the old ones are now all bad guys i mean cmon what happened to the wrestling i loved and respected now we have people who shouldnt even have gold belts around their waist when rick flair left raw changed..i miss ric!!!

[WWEFanChannel123]

[undertaker86461]

I THINK THOSE 19 PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY FOR DISLIKING THIS

[undertaker86461]

SHAWN SHOULD ALSO GO TO TNA SO THAT WE CAN SEE HIM AGAIN

[ashisbest1]

@undertaker86461 he's too loyal and respects taker and wwe too much

[bo0chie9]

he should have apologized in advance for having this then going to tna

[mrfeetandcheeks]

this truly should have been his last match

[IrishJETSfan2k10]

[XtremeHardyFan619]

@jkarani ahh kool :)

[zack45620072212]

[SwedishVikingPride]

Ric Flair will be back in the ring on February 24, Thursday, at SpikeTV on TNA iMPACT! Ric Flair will wrestle AJ Styles (who got ranked nr 1 wrestler by PWI). w w w . tnawrestling . c o m

[HOOMV]

35 years Flair contributed to making the WWE the brilliance it is today. And to do 1 better, he goes to TNA and is now contributing to make it suck. God bless

[BTOWNPLAYA69]

So I don't watch wrestling....however a buddy of mine bought this wrestle mania.......and to say the least , we both cried...no bull, a real soap show for dudes!

[XBOXCR42YJ3NK1]

Ric Flair, You were better in the WWE even tho you didn't wrestle much towards the end, In TNA i hate you because they have made you out to be a very horrible guy when your not, You are one of the best WWE Wrestlers to set foot in the squared circle. Come back to the WWE and take over RAW! THANK YOU RIC FLAIR!

[rumpl4skin]

Ric Flair is God, he is a legend and to this day ric flair is still the greatest talker on the mic period, still a great entertainer and i hope i get to see Ric Flair in the ring till the day he dies. Long Live the greatest wrestler and entertainer in pro wrestling history.The 16 time world heavyweight champion The limousine riding, jet flying,wheeling,dealing, kiss stealing,sun of a gun RIC FLAIR

[259HBK]

theres just something about ric flair, i think shawn micheals is better in absolutly every way i think hes a better peformer a better entertainer and a better wrestler in short HBK is the best but shawn micheals is not ric flair and rick flair is the man WOOOOOOOW

[MrHispanicz]

whats the name song that first plays?i really need it!

[kawadamark]

thank you flair.

[TheRkojames]

ric flair had red skin

[XtremeHardyFan619]

shawn michaels deserved a tribute like this

[umagarandyorton619]

@XtremeHardyFan619 and in my opinion, so did Umaga, Edge and Lance Cade

[XtremeHardyFan619]

@umagarandyorton619 i agree

[umagarandyorton619]

@XtremeHardyFan619 yes :)

[XtremeHardyFan619]

@umagarandyorton619 :P

[umagarandyorton619]

@XtremeHardyFan619 :D

[telam92]

@umagarandyorton619 i agree 100% edge definetly deserves this and im shocked tht umaga who passed didnt get a tributte tell me im not the only one who is wondering tht

[umagarandyorton619]

@telam92 I agree with you. Umaga was one of my favorite WWE wrestlers, he didn't deserve to die. I'm actually thinking of making a tribute to Edge, Umaga and Lance Cade with the song "How To Save A Life" by The Fray, what do you think? :D

[telam92]

@umagarandyorton619 go 4 it baby

[umagarandyorton619]

@telam92 thanks XD

But first I'll find the disclaimer so WMG won't ruin my video :D

When it's done, I'll say to you :D

[telam92]

@umagarandyorton619 i cant wat man sometimes these guys dony get the proper recognition

[umagarandyorton619]

@telam92 yeah, that it's sad :(

But it will take a little time, cuz I'll have to upload the Umaga, Cade and Edge pics and videos, and also the song, so yeah...

But when it's done I'll make sure you'll know :)

[telam92]

@umagarandyorton619 i cant wait i knw its going to b awesome

[umagarandyorton619]

@telam92 thanks XD

[telam92]

@umagarandyorton619 hey did u decide on the song

[umagarandyorton619]

@telam92 I think I did :P

I think it will be "How To Save A Life" by "The Fray" :D

[telam92]

@umagarandyorton619 y just asking

[AwesomeOne513]

I love WWE But, they were kind of stupid to release one of the greatest wrestlers of all time..Ric Flair

[wincute100]

hope Ric Flair watch this video.....

[balser77]

Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan have been a staple of this business for so many years its makes me sad that greats like these have to get old.You dont have to like them but you should always show respect no matter what you think of them they were true pro's of the likes we will never see again.

[LordMortisHex]

i love tou

[tej41694]

all you people saying f you ric flair for going to TNA, remember this, WWE didn't want him! In mid 2009, they had Flair in a storyline involving Batista and Randy Orton, but they didn't want him so they had Orton punt Flair right off tv! So he went to TNA, where they wanted him! Lay off him, he is the greatest of all time so I think he is allowed to make his own decisions!

[Radicazz]

@tej41694 you talk crap, ric was a deserter who walked out on his friends and fans at wwe.

[tej41694]

@Radicazz it's not crap, it's truth! He didn't walk out on anybody!

[107ruthless]

but he said i will never wrestle in this ring again meaning in wwe

[NikaNet100]

МОЛОДЕЦ!!!

[anonykz]

Fuck you Ric! I hope you're happy!

[XxSVRReesyxX]

I Respect Flair And All But...

How Come HBK DIdnt Get The Whole Backstage To Come Put And Say Goodbye Like Thisz? Thatsz Kind Of Not Fair... Hbk Hasz Been Wrestling For 3 Decadesz aND wHAT Doesz He Get? Just A Farewell And The Only Person That Comesz Out Wasz Hisz DX Partner HHH... Anywaysz Now Flair Isz A Drinker On Tna;P

[SPARTANBOY03]

people show some respect for Ric Flair please, who cares if he is in TNA , I will support Ric no matter if he is still in WWE OR TNA , I met Ric last year , he is a class act and a really nice human being. He has done alot and sacrificed alot for this buisness called Pro Wrestling . WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

[rocky13m]

After ALLL that the asshole goes to TNA no respect

[Hill0321]

That being said, Shawn Michaels did receive a terrible farewell ceremony, especially when you consider that Flair went to WCW with the other 80's WWF superstars. When the WWF was in desperate need of ratings, when it was do or die, when it was out-perform of go under, this guy named Shawn Michaels came through and completely shook the foundation of professional wrestling. There will never be a better all around performer than Shawn Michaels.

[Hill0321]

If you grew up watching wrestling and have watched religiously since at least the early 90's like I have(because I am only 21 years old), there is no question in your mind that the greatest professional wrestling performer of this era and more than likely of all time is Shawn Michaels. I don't think there is one logical person that can debate that. But to say that Ric Flair didn't deserve the farewell he got, is completely ridiculous and incorrect.

[xukaro3]

song startin at 1:05 ????

[ballcards]

Let me tell ya something right now Ric Flair. You say you will never wrestle again. Well your a lying punk. Ya got that. I'll tare your ole fossil ass up. WHOOOOOOOO Now can you dig that NIGGAAAAAAAAAA

[TheMasterLJV]

i liked him alot but when he went to tna i hate him i hate him i cant stand this old fag go fucking die you old retard

[NYCplaya90]

TNA are the luckiest SOBS on the planet.

[ayxwz]

RIC FLAIR FOREVER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOO!

[lastdragon55]

It hurts a little bit honestly. This was a hero's goodbye, and then he turned around and made himself a liar. This would have been more fitting for HBK. But, at least HBK didn't need all of this. He was straightforward, and ended it with just him, in the ring, with the fans showing him the respect he earned and deserved.

[gigia105]

we want batista back in wwe:))

[SicSoulzGamer420]

i was there at wm 24 u fucking lied u old dog u flair i cant belive u went to tha scumhole known as TN FUCKIN REDNECK A I HATE U NOW THIS SHOULD OF BEEN HBKS FAREWHELL NOT YOU U 2 FACED FUCK!!!!

[gtaexpert345]

i watched the wrestlemania match live and i actually almost cried when he lost :-(

[WhiteChocolut]

Cena is da best champ eva not FLare

[Delaldo7]

@WhiteChocolut Cena isn't fit to lace Flair's boots!! but i have lost respect for Flair since he began wrestling in TNA. nothing against TNA just Flair

[olekdemski]

Does anyone know what the name of the song is from 1:05 to 1:40

[Darren50001]

If FLair says he retired, why is he in TNA then? First he says he's not wrestling, then in TNA, he fights for a worthless company that'll never beat the WWE.

[AllahTheGrim]

it was an emotional night indeed. but all that was ruined when he came to tna. all those tears were for nothing.but you can't blame him,he just loves wrestling that damn much.

[RobbBryan]

keep this video up great one.......

[boricuaboy4life]

i kno ya'll r hating on tna but u gotta admit they do have some kickass matches and r more extream then wwe

[Everton1dukhan]

Tna... whyyyy. why would anyone go to that shithole.

washups nd people who didnt pass wwes drug tests.

[thekingofoakland]

R.I.P Eddie Guerrero the best wrestler of all time.
