Ric Flair 1988 wrestling interview

[mkl62]

Ric Flair was the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion for all of 1988.

[Altezza447]

Rick flare was freestyle off the head no script only a few can pull off good promo

[Ghouse666]

LOL, if anyone actually thought this was any bit racist, they should type in "Greg the racist Valentine" on youtube and see what comes up.

[CheddarBob39]

The "woooooooooooooooooooo" makes me laugh every time in all of his interviews. I love it, I love these old skool wrestling personalities. I don't know if they were scripted but they sure don't seem like it. ( : And they could definitely be entertaining. Now they all have boring personalities and look like gay porn stars.

[robertwestchester]

That's a hard nut to swallow!

[SuperJuliusC]

Today Ric Flair would swallow alot for just one dollar...

[MrLivingPhoenix]

Learn to Love it, 'cause it's a role model for you!

[sparkerluv]

known republican always thought he was a racist

[HBKFuckingOwns]

Thats a real hard nut to swallow 

[peterp21]

I can't believe folks are seriously calling out Flair for his "racial" comment. Come on folks. First off, let's all relax in general. Second off, this was 1988, not the more PC 2011. Third, Flair is a bad guy, he's being obnoxious. I just can't imagine people actually getting upset about a 23 year old video as if it hurts their feelings and sets back racial harmony 100 years.

[SuperDeluxe80]

@peterp21

23 years later people are hipsters & pussys

[MrSamWhitemoon]

¥oµ [)¤|\|´T £ ¡ }< € Th€ Pr¢§T¡G€ !!!

[robots1]

Im black, I did not take offence to that comment. people really try to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

[stanbrekston]

ric knew he had a real big black fan base & i don't look at it as a racist comment. let's 'lighten' up people.

[scorpionJB]

@stanbrekston I agree, I'm black, and what he said was not racist at all...not at all...racism is when you attack one's humanity, or try and dehumanize an individual based on color

[stanbrekston]

@scorpionJB i'm black too brother & i agree.

[njsps72]

That was a hard nut for all those black folks out there to swallow lol

[lstn74]

For all you black folks out there ha ha!

[skinnydoogan1975]

more cars than most of ya have friends

[Dobbs8816]

I like how he's raving about how great and macho he is, but then his voice cracks.

0:58

[odinsragess]

@Dobbs8816 Thats the best... when his voices cracks you know hes really flying off the handle. PS shouldnt be a big deal on the black folks comment, after all he was a "bad guy" character!

[doublejwillis]

Hes not the champ.. HEHE..!!!!

[jhrossbjj]

did he say........that's a hard nut to swallow?

[scenario1]

@jhrossbjj he forgot to say "no homo"

[jhrossbjj]

did he say........that's a big nut to swallow?

[Hot80s]

Big House on the BIG SIDE of TOWN. More CARS than you got FRIENDS. WOO!

[RiotSquad83]

So remind me: Who's the Champ? It was never really made clear...

[odinsragess]

This might be one of the best flair promos ever... epic.

[mkl62]

Ric Flair was the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion for all of 1988.

[madamadam158]

This video is my reaction to pewning noobs

[danielria]

Unreal that only 300,00 people have watched this!

[odinsragess]

@danielria should have been 500,000,000

[AzrealBlack]

How many white men will even say "black folks" in public let alone on television. lol He could've been a racist for all I knew, but Ric Flair was still the man back in the day. This was when wrestling was the shit, I can't even watch it now.

[drvn8]

0:55 his voice cracks hard when he says "black" folks... sounds like jimmy kimmel tried to censor him.

[BigPun6076]

Herschel Walker....for all you BLACK people out there....LOL

HIS HAIR IS FUCKING CAMOUFLAGE

[Yomamasahox1]

he reminds me of ultimate warrior. i think he was the same dudes

[danielria]

Nobody will ever do it better! It is a real hard nut to swallow! Ric Flair is the best there is, was, and ever will be!

[Buckeyecat2002]

The People's Definition of Wrestling: R-I-C F-L-A-I-R.

[wopetgjsgvn]

16 People detest the fact that he has more cars than they have friends.

[UnlimitedSeduction]

I see some laughs in between the lines there Ric... trying to be Roddy, are we? LOL

[OTKP]

lol heard Doug Stewart talking about this interview also hahaha

Rick Flair was the GREATEST HEEL EVER IN WRESTLING HISTORY!

and no this wasn't racist or offensive IMO

[psingone]

Doug@ 2 live stews, this fool was the greatest. Freestyle at its finest, when could a caucausion brother see for you blacks and a brother not be offended. Classic Rick Flair.

[bumpodell]

Doug, good looking out! This fool said for you blacks out there!

[asnaes]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[lem0n2lime]

He looks like a religious televangelist.

[shizzle5150]

Name another wrestler that not only calls out the opponents but goes on to call out the owner of the TV station giving them air time. HAHAHA! Only Slick Ric!

[wopetgjsgvn]

@shizzle5150 And calls out black people! lol

[Filmaker25]

THE NOTERIETY?? AND MORE CARS THAN FRIENDS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

[butops2]

a real hard nut to swallow lol

[ProvoRebel]

The greatest! Classic nature boy, i cannot stop laughing. Never gets old!

[kruunk1]

a real hard nut to swallow....HAHAHA

[bettydaw1970]

flair couldnot only make a broom look good in the ring, he could proably loose a debate to one!!!!

he was theat good!!

[danteras23]

Ric Flair was a pretty big a-hole. Did he really have to rub it in everyone's face how much money had every chance he got? I guess that's why he was a heel.

[BPavsner]

@danteras23 OK, you understand that it's an act, right? That this "Slick Rick" thing is a character the guy plays?

[danteras23]

@BPavsner No, he lived it. Ask his ex-wives. 

[bettydaw1970]

@danteras23

gee... he was a heel and he got that reaction out of you...

[djwithnoname]

@danteras23 Are you one of those redneck morons that thinks wrestling is REAL? Do you send fanmail to Monster Trucks as well?

[danteras23]

@djwithnoname nope, i'm from ny. just not one of those who bows down to ric flair, like you and others seem to. i know it was an act, but he lived it and was a pretty big a-hole.

[binka21]

@danteras23 Oh come on how was he an a-hole?

[Darkskinnded]

@bacefelice Kiss Stealin. Thats the bottom line in this sport.....OF SPORTS! lol. legend

[bacefelice]

I like how his voice cracks when he says "black folks" in the Herschel Walker bit.

CUSTOM MADE, KID STEALIN', WHEELIN' AND DEALIN'

[voteproud]

you detest the fact that i got more cars, than most of you got friends...legendary.

[Gamebox27]

The last woo sounds like a siren.

[paurora98]

I had a major crush on flair when i was a kid..i miss those days back when wrestling was good..good promos and wrestling.

[MrPlasse]

hahaha I guess only black folk could like Walker?

[DenverDavid]

Everyone else is just a pretender. Ric Flair is hands down the greatest of all time. I read his biography, and it has some classic stories in it.

The fact that he mentions Dale Murphy and Herschel Walker makes me think that this is more '82 than '88.

[pattonivory]

the original ATL stunner

[vertigo214]

I want to see Tiger/Federer/Brady/Garnett/et­c give a speech like this after winning a title.

[oliviaschristianfan1]

Like ONJ is to music. Ric Flair is a Lengendary in his own right, oh buy the way Nature Boy retired 18 times World Heavyweight Champion

[Teleblu73]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[TrappedSurfer]

It's sad that no one comparable has come along since '88.

[mal723]

Learn to Love it!

[6forrestgump9]

@ voteproud .... that line is freaking classic!!!! " i got more cars than you have friends"

[vegandemon84]

amazing

[voteproud]

"You Detest the Fact...That i got more cars, than most of you have friends." Everyone please just stop and think about how great that line is...i'd put that in his top 10 probably...none better than Flair.

[Darkskinnded]

I love the way his voice cracks when he says to all you black folks! I would give one of my balls to be able to talk shit like this man!

[Taf99x60]

If I was there I would have called him a a s.o.b but I have to give it up to him he was one of the best

[afpmx]

herschel walker for all you black folks out there, Wow haha, hes forever the MAN!

[eagle1fox3]

"kids stealing" 1:33

[DarianMartin]

@eagle1fox3 Kiss stealing

[voteproud]

@eagle1fox3 kiss stealin

[Superlortenar]

what a retard... 

[AcademicusMaximus]

god dam ric flair is funny

[mygymchannel1]

They need to put all of Ric's promos on one endliess loop and play them on a big screen over his grave when he passes away. Then years later when some fucking dumbass cell phone addict trips up and says Who lies here? you can say, The greatest goddamn wrestler who ever lived, back in the day when wrestling was great. Then you could beat the guy's ass in memory of Ric.

[kingnaj92]

he was to old back then

[mal723]

I got more CARS than most of 'ya have FRIENDS....woooooooooo

[patlavert]

Bar none the best smack talker in the history of wresting.

[mabood1212]

greatest talker in the history of sports and entertainment

[6forrestgump9]

@ :59 ... freaking FUNNY !!!!!!!!!!!!

ohh and @ Jmac0585 .. who is Dale Murphy???? Are you freaking kidding???

He ONLY led the MAJORS in the 80's in HR's and RBI's !!!!! 83 MVP 8-time allstar.

[Freebleeper]

@6forrestgump9 And probably one of the most underrated Baseball players of all time.

[Jmac0585]

That is why those dudes are in such great shape. They burn more calories explaining themselves than I do running a marathon.

[ronschaf1]

"I got more cars, than most of you have friends."

Laughing my ass off...Ric Flair is a classic.

[DJglasgowSon]

"AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!" hmm... wonder which superstar borrowed that one from ric flair...?

[kingod615]

for all u black folks? wtf! lol!

[jagerman622]

@kingod615 thats why ric flair is the fucking man my favorite wrestler of all the greatest of all time wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo

[kingod615]

@kingod615 ok grand wizard white power! lol!

[hotcheerios911]

Why is everyone getting so pissy because he called out black people... HELLO... he said DELL MURPHY he didn't neglect white people too and he's white himself.

[kingod615]

@hotcheerios911 yeah but he didnt say all u white "DELL MURPHY" either lol!

[hotcheerios911]

@kingod615 well in this day in age you have goodle to know who del murphy is and even then if you were a braves fan or sports fan black or white you would had known dude was white.

[kingod615]

@hotcheerios911 its not a big deal im black and im a ric flair fan but i did sound ugly lol just like if he would have said hey you white folks or brown people lol just saying lol

[DragonDDT]

@hotcheerios911

To the both of you morons: It's DALE Murphy. And for God's sake, SpellCheck is your friend -- which means Ric Flair's got a car to match your friend.

[Jmac0585]

@kingod615 Who the hell is Dell Murphy?

[kingod615]

@Jmac0585 a atlanta braves player

[Jackstar601]

a hard nut to swallow?

[Hamd727]

I didn't see that comment as being racist. If You knew Flair back in the day he was a funny ass comedian. Where is the one he said.. " Im the 60minute man baby" I take all the women to space mountain, WOOOO " Dude was funny ass hell back in the day..

[mancuso68]

Wooooo! Now that's what I'm talking about! Wooooo!

[okrabay]

"all you black folks" if he said that today nancy pelosi would have to hold a press conference.

he would be banned from TV and have to make a public apology.

CNN would have nightly discussion with college professors.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and a host of others would be marching in the streets.

He would be forced to quit wrestling.

[ShinoShaw]

you dont like the PRESTIGE!

[Shoooooooo81]

The irony is that Herschel Walker could be the "champ" now in a legit sport, MMA lol

[SydneyRico69]

Hell Yea, LOL.

[wasteman79]

I want to live on the big side of town! This guy is classic!

[eastwood13]

Got to be in the top 5 wrestling interviews ever done!

Brilliant Ric just brilliant!

[MrFilmMakerNumber2]

i remember this promo like it was yesterday. i was upset about the black thing for a while... but hey, it's ric.

[SydneyRico69]

He's voice cracked wen he said it because he knew it was goin 2 b sum piss of blacks out there. And did u notice wen he said tht he look at sum1 behide tha camra like waving there arm dont say tht Ric?

[19bollo97]

Hulkamania !!

[19bollo97]

I hate Ric Flair !!!

[AmtgardMontag]

in this sport...OF SPORTS!

[mackman36]

A real nut to swallow! Hilarious

[servin223s]

this shit is brilliant

[RicIsGod]

Brad you idiot he was a heel he was suppose to be hated, but he was loved. He could cut a promo wrestle his arse off and bleed all over the place...just what the fans wanted to see

[Raggle101]

This could possibly be the best wrestling promo in all history

[unclefestus]

probably so.... and he has more cars than you have friends.

[shizzle5150]

In this sport of sports.

[t3rr3nc388]

really, you queeftards are making this into a racial discussion????? dont be dumb...

[YouGotJEWD]

Thaaa PRESTIGE!!!

lol

[Rabadamtimtimti]

The Man!

[madameremz68]

All he had to say is..... Wooooooooooo!!!!

[joshuachan56]

flair is so charismatic back then.

[spectre722]

no offence or anything but i dont really know shit about wwe but has he always been so cocky?

[briancawt]

yes thats what makes him the best....woooo

[BradNC11175]

In the 80s Flair was always one of the most hated guys in wrestling. He was cocky, he acted like he was God's gift to women and most of the fans were rednecks just barely scraping by from pay check to pay check. Ric Flair always let the fans know that while they were flying coach he was flying in a lear jet. While they had a $20 Timex he had a $20,000 Rolex. While they had a $30 pair of sneakers on he had $800 Italian shoes. He cheated every step of the way & they'd pay to see him get beat up.

[danielria]

Flair was a teh best draw ever......

[BradNC11175]

Daniel: "WHATS CAUSIN ALL THIS?!! woooOOOOoooo!!! ha ha

[ER1CKSON]

uhhh, spec, it's an act. :-)

[gmta28]

hard nut to swallow {snicker}

[capcitytrapstar804]

" I got more cars them most of you have friends....." ...classic Ric Flair

[goodtimes0000]

what a bell end.

[JRiggz108999]

for all you black folks out there!!

awesome

[Catholicdadof4]

A true example of humility.

[PetersChairIsEmpty]

Thanks for not commenting on the quote from JPII that I left on your channel and for blocking me. Just answer 2 questions for me. How can you possibly accept what the popes have been teaching after Vatican II when they are teaching the COMPLETE OPPOSITE from what the Catholic Church has been teaching for 2,000 years? Also, can you please unblock me so I can talk to you about Vatican II through pm? Btw, watching pro wrestling is a mortal sin.

[Catholicdadof4]

Tell me your name and who you are and i will be gald to discuss with you. However, I do not respond to people who open youtube accounts and hide behind the anonymity. It is cowardess in my opinion. Ted

[notenoughcereal]

and now you're a fading memory ... for rednecks.

[Viberationz]

hahahahaha

[jonnymack]

I've always wanted to live on the Big Side of Town. Tell 'em Ric.

[alop133]

"Herschel Walker, for all you black folks out there, he's a real big dude."

I think this wins you a beer with the president nowadays.

[sinfonian39]

lmao

[vertigo214]

THE PRESTIGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[JeReL19]

Did he just call wrestling the sport of sports? Well...maybe back then.

[BUSH911666]

greatest talker in the history of promos

[BURNINGHAMMER76]

the rock

[aalton]

He could talk and had a couple of great lines, but Flair had a new line and catch phrase develop every time he spoke. Rock just kept getting stale every time he turned face.

[shaneg01]

@BUSH911666 Greatest talker? Greatest wrestler EVER!! Ric Flair= GOD

[themax316]

@BUSH911666 jake the snake was better but this guy is damn funny!

[starbabe58]

ric flair wooooooooooooooooo

[maunus]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[SPHONGLE0]

Any else hear a resemblance to Chris Farley?

[joeyd1957]

I never realized that. I've ony heard both of them 1000 times each. But your are bang on.

[chicanoj74]

No could interview better.

[halosargeant678]

aah my childhood hero

[Ninety2q]

Flair always managed to throw in athletes in these promos

[9432913]

ric flairs a pimp!

[magilagorilla]

flair was one of the blackest white guys around.

[g33k401]

please explain...

[magilagorilla]

well listen to his rant. it's all about him being a pimp and his bling. and his superfly robes he wore to the ring? the thing is he never acted "black" which made his character legit in my book.

[scorpionJB]

great point magilagorilla....i'm black and never felt Flair was trying to be something he was not, the cat was real and funny to the core....

[cbrugh]

Flair at his finest. He is the Man!! WOOOOOOOOOOO

[vertigo214]

Custom made!

[IIIIIII77IIIIIII]

love the lisp

[peanutbarnes]

like he said...."THAT'S A HARD NUT SO SWALLOW." MY EX SAID THAT!

[UltMitSinner78]

I think Ric Flair was hard up that is why he always had to talk about chicks cuz he wasn't getting any.

[PzoiNick]

1:46 !

[gammergq]

He just saying it how it is, you only have to look at the support Obama got in the election pools from African Americans. This is what made Flair great he was real in his promos he said it how it was and I am black. It is hard for black americans to relate to whites because of their history some white americans like Clinton the blacks took to but many white americans great or not the average black finds hard to relate to.

[networkoftv]

American social relations have evolved over 20 years, and I don't think Caucasian and Negroid American (ha!) relations today put nearly as much weight on the past as some like to claim. The youth has changed that. If anything it's more related to REGIONAL isolation. Put a white boy in a black hood and he adapts. Put a black boy in a white hood and he adapts. put both in the modern american work or educational environment , they mostly work together. real talk. oh, i enjoy the flair character too

[Gothdemon01]

THE MAN!!!!

[ViscaBarcaInter]

Man, Ric Flair is pure WIN in human form.

[MrPascow]

i dont find the comment racest at all, but there is no way they would ever say that on wrestling now days.

[hellothere1]

GOAT PROMO
