Georgia Wrestling - Ric Flair "Some Kinda Fine"

[densuo]

This just in: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[clovisman]

Flair took the best of Georgeous George, Buddy Rogers, and Sputnik Monroe and made it all his own. The greatest worker of all time? No. A great shooter? No. But, IMO, the greatest star in the history of the business.

[stuartlittleman1]

[AdamMcCracken1983]

[youmeddlingkids]

how did 2 people click thumbs down on this? ric flair is a genius

[brizilla72]

I miss this sh&%!!!!!!!!!!

[mongoose704]

Look at the set, it's about $1.20 including Gordon's attire. The studio looks like a dingy basement.

And they put out a product that buries what the billion dollar glitz of WWE puts out today.

Gotta love wrestling when the magic was there.

[picark]

Love him or not,Ric Flair is arguably the best wrestler that has ever stepped into the ring to this day.He had more agility all around then anyone in wrestling.

[VolumedMusicMan]

Fast women fast athletics! LOL

[VolumedMusicMan]

Flair traveled all over the NWA before he became world champ. That's how he made his bones!

[Daddioletsyouknow]

RIP wooooooooooooooooooo

[Lovelygal71]

@Daddioletsyouknow RIP?

[Puffman70]

This was before he won the title for the first time:) Because I was at Starcade '83 in Greensboro! Whooooooooooo!

[greene74]

@Puffman70 ...Starcade '83 was the second time that Flair won the tiltle.The first time that he won was sept. 17,1981 against Dusty Rhodes.

[eacosta25]

Woooooooo respect

[joeytv1962]

Ric Flairwas and always will be the MAN woooooooooooooo

[ylatupa]

is flair wearing a wig ?

[bjohns1975]

You're joking, right?

In case you're not, no it isn't a wig. All that beautiful hair was naturally his. Growing old is a bitch. Still, with or without the hair, he's still one fine looking man.

[Lovelygal71]

no, that's his real hair, ylatupa.

[AnthonyMorrow1982]

To be the man you gotta beat the man! Whooooooooo!

[rowplaya619]

yeah flair was right "i'll be here for a long time"

ive wached him ever since i was 1

my mum has watched him since she was 12

and i think his leaving will make a big impact in the wrestling world

If you love the nature boy... give this a thumbs up and will show him how much we care

[theknightrain]

HBK and HHH are great no dout, but they'll never hold a candle next to the nature boy! wooooooo!

[theknightrain]

he said" the nature boy will be here for a long time......Woooooo!"

[mongoose704]

Yeah! Ric Flair when he had his groove. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[TheJ03king]

yes he is i saw him he is in his 60s now but still the MAN

[countbloodula]

Its nothing but a SHAME! that ric flairs legacy came to a shamefu,l end by "supposedly" being retired by a redneck gaylord->hbk & a no talent >hhh

[pkasrey]

hbk is one of the best wrestlers of all time

hhh is alright

[oplivecrime206]

typical noob. only a douch box can openly insult HBK

[eatabullet]

agreed

[eatabullet]

but Trips is way better than HBK.

[brotherhood302]

Wrestling entertainment truly had something to offer back then...hail the NWA!!

[rushnut1958]

That guy was one helluva showman.

[cocoabononohead]

Race toasted Flair in Japan!!

[cardinalfan72]

to be the man you gotta beat the man...ric flair...you ARE the man

[cengland1965]

This was when wrestling was good. I do miss it

[dvader06]

Nobody did it better. As the nature boy says "you can like it or not like it, but learn to love it because it's the best thing around". Wooooooo

[starbabe58]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooo

[fepacommish]

Interviews and promos just came so naturally to Flair. He was passionate and comes across as believable. He didn't have to snarl or speak so methodically or play to the camera (a la HHH, Orton, Cena). RIc Flair & The Rock - in that order - are the greatest on the mike in pro wrestling ever. Again - because they made it seem effortless.

[stupifiedgig]

I would add Dusty Rhodes,  Arn Anderson and Roddy Piper as #'s 3-5 in that order.

[fepacommish]

That works for me mostly.

[datdamnleroygreene]

Don't forget Billy Graham , Michael Hayes & Austin Idol

[facasj]

i will be 45 in june and as a kid it was ric flair not hogan, flair was a star and made other ppls careers shine ppl like lex luger, dusty rhodes, nikita koloff, and the one whos career skyrocketed cause of ric flair and dont forget sting, sting became so big cause of ric flair, from 1978 when i first started watching gordon solies nwa it was ric flair who was the innovation to wrestling as we know it today and living in south carolina lol you know you are in flair country in the carolinas

[skillyou1]

man, the more of these you watch the more your reminded that flair was not onlt the greatest but how much better than ne1 ever he really was. let there be no debate about who is the GOAT-hogan was really great at selling merch and toys to little kids but this right here is the man-flair=best ever

[facasj]

u r right about that hogan sold merchandise and was a man of showing off, w/ his colorful scarfs and headbands but when it came 2 the man in the ring 2 beat it was flair, hogan was obviously an actor and it shows so much that he might as well been acting off a script but flair was more original and while an actor it was not as obvious and more original than hogan, and vince mcmahon originally wanted flair back in the 80s for a driving force but sine he was not available he settled on hogan

[fdheard1989]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooo

[mushmouth4life]

So this video confirms he always had flab...

[bjohns1975]

Flair's fine as fuck. You're just jealous.

[mushmouth4life]

please be a woman...

[rcd50771956]

Hands down the BEST wrestler/performer/interview in wrestling history- Ric Flair

[jamesdk09]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[jammerjmc]

Now that's a great example as to why Ric Flair is hands down the greatest World Champion of all time. Not only could the man talk to the talk but week in and week out he proved he could walk the walk. Flair was too stylish for the AWA and too darn good inside the ring for the WWF. The man had it all and there wasn't a soul in the 1980's that could compare. Not Nick Bockwinkle, not Kerry Von Eric, and certainly not Hulk Hogan!

[TheMarcusMarcs]

He was the perfect man to carry the NWA belt. The ONLY real "World" title was the NWA belt and to carry it you had to get over on a global scale. Honestly I can't think of any wrestler that was ever more global than Ric Flair.

[AliensExist7]

howdy,just letting you all know that this is a video of ric flair wrestling.thatnks.

[mercedes25fl]

Ric Flair kinda look fine back then. I never seen him like this before. Just look at that blond hair. I'm so jealous.lol wooooooooooooooooh!

[jamesdk09]

WOOOOOOOOO!

[raymod]

Everyone needs to watch every Ric Flair promo and match and realise that they are all the same.

[ChiknThighTatorPie]

oh my goodness look at that hair

[jedimindcontrol]

Nature Boy Ric Flair...the greatest of all time. Now and forever

[nowayjose470]

Even as a heel, Ric Flair would still put all of the other wrestlers over in his promos. The cardinal rule is don't devalue your opponent becuase you look that much better when you beat him. That's proper psychology. Savage and Hart said Flair was all nonstop non psychology. Jealous bullshit! Flair had psychology down pat.

"The Dusty Rhodes', the Stings', they are great. But when you're Ric Flair, the rest is second best. WOOOOOOOOOO!"

[wilbert916]

Amen to that. That's why Flair's legacy is only getting greater as the years go by. As for Hart and Macho....not even close.

[TheMarcusMarcs]

Hulk Hogan is like the song that's #1 on billboard for 9 weeks in 1982 but you never hear on classic stations now. Ric Flair is one of those songs that the grandfather, the father and the son all like and sing. ENDURING quality. Long live the king.

[wilbert916]

You said it man! Woooooo! It's unfortunate though, that Ric has signed to work with hogan and bischoff 'once again' in Austrailia on a Bischoff backed 'hulkamania' tour in Australia. Especially after what they did to him in WCW.

[ratesforless]

@TheMarcusMarcs

Well said.

[wCwNeverDie]

Ric Flair is the real and only professionist of the business,Sting (my fav. wrestler) learn more to him. Thanks to Ric

[wilbert916]

Ric put Sting over the way Sting is now trying to put AJ over. Only true wrasslin fans understand and appreciate what Sting is trying to do and know exactly where and who this is all coming from. Thanks again Ric! Wooooooo!

[wCwNeverDie]

yes man of course and i love and respect Flair for this! btw he is a great superstar too. and yes i agree with you about sting and aj

[danielria]

Yes, you are right. All those guys would more than agree and have said it in past interviews. Ric is the best wrestler ever. Piper and Rhodes have personaly said it in interviews. They are not the only ones too. Two things are forever, diamonds and slick Ric. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­!!!!!!!!!!!

[danielria]

To anyone who doubts who the greatest really is. Ric Flair is the greatest and always will be. No one will ever be able to acomplish as much as did in the world of wrestling. To those who want to knock him down, get up off the couch,and show me,and the rest of the world that you can do better. If you can't do that, shut the hell up, and stay off the internet.

[Darkchyld702]

So true. Just ask Barry Windham or Rick Steamboat or Ken Patera or Jimmy Snuka or Blackjack Mulligan or John Studd or Andre the Giant or Bruiser Brody or Harley Race or Terry Funk or Roddy Piper or Rufus R Jones or Austin Idol or Jerry Lawler or Jack Brisco or Tatsumi Fujinami or Wahoo McDanials or Stan Hansen or Ole Anderson or Greg Valentine or Nick Bockwinkel or Ivan Koloff or Kevin Von Erich or Dusty Rhodes or Dick Slater or Terry Gordy or Ted DeBiase or Dick the Bruiser or anyone! Whooo!

[actionfigures95]

wrestlers today REALLY have to work on their promo skills.. we don't BELIEVE 99% of you guys!! Talk with conviction, BELIEVE in your character!

In that way Kayfabe was great.

[cbaldwinjr]

The more I watch it though...the more I start to acknowledge that Ric really DID believe everything he was saying. He drank his own Kool-Aid. He truly believed he was the best wrestler in the world, the best champion in the business and loved flaunting what being the headline attraction afforded him. That's the separation...guys nowadays are trying to get paid and kayfabe is long dead and gone. The EMOTION doesn't hold up because you aren't as deeply invested anymore. It's too bad...

[mikemike4315]

hey JBL this is the TRUE WRESTLING GOD!!!!!!!!!!

[kremplewski]

Flair'S plane crash was 1975 Flair beat Harley Race for the first time in 1980

[ed2kou1]

Flair won his 1st world title in 81, defeating Dusty Rhodes.

[Greenandscaly]

Was this taped before Flair's plane crash?

[TheLizardKing1967]

OMG, this looks like 1975

[Darkchyld702]

Absolutely the best ever!  Anyone that disputes that just doesn't know pro wrestling and, yes, Flair should have went out as champ. That would have been perfect for the Greatest, by far, Wrestler of All Time!

[danielria]

You're damn right, the wwe should have retired Flair as the champ. The best ever for sure. This is how you sell a match. Why did wrestling ever change?

[Darkchyld702]

So true, so true. It's a damn shame the state of wrestling today. God I miss the NWA.

[Lovelygal71]

Hell yeah! Y'all ain't kiddin' there. Those days were far way more better than the junk now.

[nowayjose470]

Absolutely.  Hogan may have been the greatest draw. But Flair was the greatest CHAMPION. His character embodied a Flair for the Gold. Ten pounds of gold and Ric Flair: Like peanut butter and jelly.

[PDXCHawk]

The NWA was so much smarter making a heel the main champ and giving the fans something to cheer for. The WWF reached mainstream 'Merica better, but the old WCW days were the best-scripted, most engaging wrestling for fans of the genre.

[nowayjose470]

As they used to say:  GCW had it goin' on, daddy! I mean, everything they did, worked.

[wCwNeverDie]

wcw still rules in the heart of the true wrestling fans. WWE is 4kids

[cbaldwinjr]

No arguing that. I always say from the BUSINESS side, you wanted Hogan. From the PERFORMANCE side, Ric Flair ran circles around everyone. He made matches watchable with damn near anyone. You couldn't say that about Hogan. But flip it around...does Flair-Garvin (starrcade's main even in 1987) put 93,173 like Andre-Hogan did? Probably not. That's the way the business goes.

[Darkchyld702]

I respectfully disagree. From the business side it was the WWF machine not Hogan that made them huge. McMahon chose Hogan over Kerry Von Erich and a few others to push as the face of the WWF. He wanted Flair but could not get The Man at the time. Flair made Hogan look like an amateur in every aspect of the business. Garvin was a tough respected veteran but he didn't deserve to be in the ring with Flair much less hold the NWA title. Imagine if Starcade headlined with Flair vs Bruiser Brody.

[CadillacL]

The Dean of wrestling, Gordon Solie & the Nature Boy. This is what wrestling's about. Not the mess that Vince shoves in our face every week.

[rockyraccoon1979]

And The Nature Boy was right....he WAS there for a LONG LONG LONG time and still at 60 years old was a much better wrestler then these youngsters in the business today. Long Live The Nature Boy....WOOOOOOOO!

[Darkchyld702]

Any true fan of wrestling know that Ric Flair is the best ever and I agree that he should have went out as champ. Whoooo!

[buyystocks]

OMG YOU DUMB,MANY guys in the locker room said flair was a pussy,YEP he would walk away and cry to the promotion WA WA WA what a tuff guy,LOL

[bjohns1975]

By "many guys" you must mean Scott Steiner because that's the only one I've heard say that. Scott Steiner used to be a decent wrestler, now the roided up freak can barely move. And I wouldn't put much stock in anything he has to say. That moron can't string two words together.

Flair's a pussy, huh? Well he can't be that much of a pussy if a legitimate tough guy like Harley Race respects him. Harley's opinion carries weight because pretty much everyone in the business respects Harley.

[buyystocks]

just from what I read,I may have been a little harsh.

[VolumedMusicMan]

fast women fast athletics LOL!

[chuckgan]

Amen to that.

[VolumedMusicMan]

I like seeing Flair showcase himself around the NWA (St.Louis, Atlanta, Toronto). He made his bones in those territories. No surprise why he became the NWA kingpin.

[dsmcclellan]

Piper and Flair were the best off-the-cuff improvs in wrestling. Ever...

[Killedbyamen]

Gordon Solie looks like Hitler's corpse

[nowayjose470]

I have to say this. Yes wrestlers have to pass the torch and eventually step aside to the younger generation. But out of respect for Ric, he should've been allowed to win the World Heavyweight Championship and retire as the champ. He deserved it and I will always remember Flair as the "World Heavyweight Champion." They were synonymous.

[lasprince]

That was the one and only thing that would have made Ric's retirement absolutely perfect. It was good, but it wasn't as good as it should have been.

[njtraffic]

There isn't a Ric Flair moment that doesn't get a 5 star rating. WOOOOOOO

[nowayjose470]

Ric is the man. I will say he had some less than five star moments in his last run in the WWE. He's just guilty of not knowing when to quit: Even the best get old and can only take so many bumps. Sad but true, Ric was a shell of himself in the end which is sad. He ALONE was the reason WCW survived Hogan and the WWF marketing machine. Those who saw only his final run saw nothing compared to Flair at his peak with the ten pounds of gold. One of a kind and there will never be another.

[byron35]

cadillac, diamond ring. DA MAN. Ric was ahead of his time.Ric was almost pimp like with his words.

[fallguye6011]

what a hairdo Naitch

[Lovelygal71]

I would LOOOOOVE to run my fingers through all that hair,WOOOOOOOOO!;)

[victimblue]

one of the great wrestlers of all time

[TysonStorm]

And one of the greatest haircuts in wrestling of all time.

Ric Flair is God.

[nowayjose470]

Oh djlegman, we aren't letting you off the hook. We want to see The Man BEAT THE MAN AND BECOME THE MAN, WOOOOOOOO!

Post it, PAHLEASE?

[mkl62]

Ric Flair would make special appearances on Georgia Championship Wrestling from time to time. The all-time greatest.

[djlegman]

My DvD drive is messed up. As soon I get a new one, I'll post it

[nowayjose470]

Back when 'ol Slick Ric had his GROOVE, WOOO!

[nowayjose470]

Back when 'ol Slick Ric had his GROOVE! WOOO!

[bigroy38]

THEE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!

[mouseinthehouse45]

ohh man this is great

[frank787922]

i love rick flair

[theshaggymarmant]

If you truly loved the Nature Boy, you'd know that there's no "k" in his name.

[sinfonian39]

zing.

[zisoul]

Say there!Dose anyone have video of FLAIR's

win over RHODES wining the WORLD TITLE on

9-17-81 in KC,MO? That RIC FLAIR 3DVD Set is

crud because the shit wwe don't honor the

LEGENDS OF WRESTLING properley.

[nowayjose470]

Ditto. I've heard little about the match. I swear though I heard Freddy Miller comment on it shortly after the win on GCW that Flair won with a vertical "su-play" (RIP Gordon Solie.)

[djlegman]

I have Flair's win over Dusty on DvD from Spt of '81

[lasprince]

The 1st World Title? Oh, I would love to see that!

[VolumedMusicMan]

The match is on one of the St.Louis wrestling volumes. At least the finish from Kansas City.

[simsman1975]

Ric looks great here....proving once again that he indeed is THE MAN !!!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo!!!!

[chuckynitty978]

The Man predicting his success five months from now. Whoo !!

[Whoo69]

WOO!

[VolumedMusicMan]

Ric Flair showcasing in what was to be: the next world heavyweight champion.

[ed2kou1]

Man this is CLASSIC wrestling! Please post more, thanks! Slick Ric, greatest of ALL TIME! WOOOOO

[Reg197844]

Wow, Ric was young! What year is this from?

I'm guessing '77.

[DaNkinator]

This is from '81

[Cobra37061]

Flair was 32-years-old here in April 1981.

[okrabay]

your the best buddy!
