This video has even more meaning and relevance after the WWE HOF induction of Shawn Michaels this past weekend. Great story told here and the foreshadowing mentioning Shawn as a couple of years away from being the greatest is amazing. Especially given the fact he retired 2 years after this video was made!
Hope this presentation makes it to the WWE web site or a DVD release someday. It's that good.
@johnmac091178 God Bless YOU for hitting that on the mark. HBK really didn't deserve most if not all of the accomplishments he is known for...aside from just being a spoiled human being that helped ruin a lot of careers.
dude very well done for the greatest of all time bar none...people can argue...i don't care flair was god 2nd only to Double A....sorry always loved arn
Flair is a Legend. I feel WWE should of let him win that Battle Royal that Khali won and let Flair drop the title to Batista. I will always remember Ric Flair.
and i have seen shawn put many others over, like sid,austin,triple h(many times), randy orton, kurt angle, hogan, john cena n the undertaker he has put over many and even so he still manages 2 steal the show with his greatness wether he wins,looses or draws!!!
@dhowardfacial i dnt love shawn michaels lool, n i the term "fake" is one word tht might describe it but i prefer 2 use the word "staged", tht is the part tht is fake about it doesnt make the moves fake, punches n kicks r fake not the high risk moves or shoulderslams. N it dont break my heart every1 has there opinion n tht is urs!!!
@wrestledon high risk?dude im more at risk when i drive on the highway going to school.listen my dad was a jobber in the wwe i know much more about this fake sport then you do.you lovewho vince mcmahon tells you to love and thats that
hbk doesnt steal the spotlight simply cuz he already has the spotlight because he simply deserves it because of great he is, he is the greatest athlete in the history of the business n can any1 blame him 4 havin the spotlight, the only thing he steals is the show which is y he is called the showstopper, becuase thts how great he is, not once not twice not a few times not many times but every time he goes out there and shows every1 y he is the showstopper
Im sorry I love you ric is merely HBK upstaging Flair and putting the spotlight back on himself in Flairs final moments in the WWE. It wasnt a tribute but a underhanded tactic used to hog the focus, aka steal the spotlight...which is what hbk always does best
@num1Jaysta He put over Shelton Benjamen, He put over the Miz. And a bunch of other guys that won't ever be stars. And yeah Shelton is a great athlete but part of this industry is having mic skills, and Shelton Benjamin cannot talk even to a women.
LOL @ the narrator's list of the Top 3 of all time, completely ignoring Hulk Hogan. God, I hate stupidity. Without Hulk Hogan, wrestling is still stuck in the dark ages. Without Hulk Hogan, McMahon never raises the revenue to thrust wrestling into the spotlight and give it the credibility it richly deserved in the late 80s. Without Hulk Hogan, nobody gives a rat's ass about Flair or HBK.
I get it, whitederek -- because Hogan is mainstream you automatically think he's overrated. Dead wrong.
@Rescueme0909 I know exactly what I'm talking about, I watched both WWF and NWA. And "the top draw in NWA" is like saying "highest-rated infomercial". BIG DEAL. I know the truth hurts, but you might as well start accepting that without Hulk Hogan -- no matter what you think of him as a person or wrestler -- Ric Flair doesn't even come CLOSE to being a household name.
@unclestrug And your point? You said without Hogan nobody gives a rat's ass about Flair. Well, unless you don't know, which is obvious you don't, Ric Flair before Hulk Hogan was the man. He was the biggest heel, and went around the world to the different companies and people paid to see him lose all over USA. Flair was the man when Hogan was about to quit wrestling in AWA. So get YOUR facts straight. Without WWF, the time setting, and Vince - Hogan would've been a nobody. Flair earned his spot.
@Rescueme0909 No offense kid, but you're not very intelligent. I know my wrestling history, and yes, Ric Flair was "the man"... and yet despite being "the man", nobody outside of wrestling knew him. You just proved my point. Being the "man" of wrestling at that time didn't mean anything; wrestling was splintered into regions with nobody that was even close to a household name. It took Hogan's charisma to make it explode into what it was. Class dismissed.
@unclestrug I am not comparing Hogan to Flair. It's doesn't take a genius to figure out Hogan made more money and is the most well-known wrestler. The point is simple yet you don't get what I'm saying. You said without Hogan, Flair would be nothing neither would HBK. So stop brining up irellevant points because you are rendering the point of the moot. Flair was the most known wrestler before Hogan. And you should check how many people the companies drew in the 80s if you think "wrestling meant
Rick is the greatest of all-time, period! How can anyone even argue that? If you do you're crazy! I'm 40yrs old and grew up watching wrestling. IN THE YEAR 1992 I FINALLY REALIZED WHO THE GREATEST OF ALL-TIME IS! That's Ric Flair. I was in the fifth-grade the first time I watched Rick on the tube. I will never forget thinking to myself: "Who the hell does he think he is?" The heel pulls you in and sells the show. No one will ever be better than Flair or wrestle as long!
WHITEDEREK: You better get that fucking job editing for WWE because you are AWESOME! This thing you did here is top quality, pro level. I would say that kind of makes you the Ric Flair of youtube video-makers. It's just such a pleasure to watch the product of obviously a lot of time and effort to make it perfect. And of course you chose the greatest wrestler in history to make it for, so it's that much better!
that was one of the most well put together tributes i have ever seen that was truley a work of art. that would have brought a tear to flairs eye, grear work man!
didn't care for the music, would have preferred the original audio, but otherwise, great video. i have been a years long flair fan, but some don't remember his nwa days, when he was ripped and truly the best ever. i was glad in his final wwe match , he turned back time to bring out his full arsenal, which he hadn't done in years. we got to see his beautiful suplexes, slams, and even some high risk. i love you ric. you really are the best. "diamonds are forever, and so is ric flair!" rf.
I'm confused. I thought Ric Flair retired, but yet, he's actually wrestling in TNA now. What's up with that? And why the hell did he even sign with TNA?
HAHAHAHA all you stupid wwe fans paid your hard earned money to watch Flair's last match...I get to watch the old bastard stumble around for free on monday night!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sorry but wrestling doesnt even come CLOSE to boxxing. what u watch is blatently all fake and acted why do u get so entertainned by it all scripted, i used to be into it when i was 11-12
OH hey look who was smart enough to figure that out. Everybody already knows that its fake, we don't need idiots like you to repeat what millions of other people have said, its not like you saying it is gonna get people to realize anything. World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT. And stop comparing WWE to other sports, its a show all in its own.
this would be good without all the lame ass music all I wanna hear on a ric flair video is some whooooo!!!!!!!!!! and some space mountain stylin profiln' whooooooooo
"The next in line is only a few years away..."? HBK is 44 years old... If he wanted to he could wrestle for 10 more years. I agree with a lot of your wrestling views (except for the fact that you are a "SMARK" who is in denile) but not that statement.
BTW I love your videos! You are great for Youtube! Subscriber right here!
Well a lot of this was opinon based. I feel that Flair couldnt be touched when it came to "the greatest of all time". Up until maybe 2007 when HBK really started stepping up his game. (and that's really saying something for his game.) I think he's on a level all by himself, and it will be a very long time until he is surpassed. It's kinda neat to watch him adapt and get better and better and better. it's real interesting stuff.
@whitederek2000 Are you going to do a video for Shawn Michaels now since he has retired? I have heard some people say it is a work, others including Michaels say it is not. If it isn't a work, I'm sad to see him go but I didn't think after Wrestlemania XIV he'd return and give me eight years of great matches.
Well, I'd love to do a shawn video, but starting tommorow I will be without a internet conncetion for about 2 months. If I decide to do one, I could start with material off my hard drive but in the end I need the net for pics and vids. Mostly importantly I would like that video of Shawn's "last" walk through the dressing room Wrestlemania night. Stay tuned
Some people think it is a work Shawn's retirement. Being a fan of his, I hope it is a work, but if its not he deserves a great send off and he got one.
A big difference between someone like Ric Flair or Terry Funk retiring and Shawn is that Shawn has had his share of devastating injuries. Flair stayed healthy for 30 years.
@DrewBludd True, plus if you're going to go out, go out on top and on your own terms. Last time Shawn retired, it wasn't under his terms at least this time he had more say on the way he wanted to bow out.
I dont think i've ever seen someone who loves his career more than that man. I dont beleive for a second that he decided to retire. I think if flair had his way, he'd wrestle until his dying day. Those we're real tears, and a life well spent. Good Man. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This must have been the 100th time ive seen this video, its moving. And deffinatly the best ric flair tribute out there. Thanks to whitederek2000. WOOOOOOOOOOOO
surely the wwe should have signed up sting 4 1 match and paid tna like 2 million they would have earned ten times that from wrestlemania sting should have ended flair career they had the greatest rivalry ever
Top 3 greatest of all time? Crippler Stevens over Lou Thez? Are you kidding? Thez wrestled from the 1930s to the 1990s. His last match was at age 74. I would deffinatly put him above The Crippler.
In response to WhyMagic's retarded, one sided answer, Ric Flair has been a pioneer and namesake for over THIRTY years. He was a big name player in the WWF before WCW. It has nothing to do with HHH or HBK or what stroke you think they have with that company. He EARNED his credit because of his career, not because of where he was during it. He transcended wrestling to another level years ago, and it wouldn't have progressed as it has if it wasn't for him.
Brother, I paused this video after 4 minutes to tell how great this tribute is. You should pat yourself on the back for making a great visual and audio gem. Now i'm gunna watch the rest
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
flair was ALWAYS wcw/nwa.... he only spent a small amount of time in the WWF, so why on earth would WWE pay such respects to someone who was hugely part of the company that tried to put the WWF out of buisness? the answer... because of HHH and HBK.they have far too much say, and far too much power. WWE will never be big again while these two ass clowns are around. Most fans think flair is a 16 time WWF champ, thats how dumb they are
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No doubt Ric Flair was great for WWE!..Was he the best?...I dont think so. You can make an arguement either way but i think that the Undertaker will be considered the best overall entertainer, and best character in wrestling. From his amazing entrances and his excitement, i just think he is better. If you walked down a street and asked random people who Ric Flair were, or the Undertaker..there are prolly 60-40 or maybe even 80-20 that know the Undertaker over Ric Flair. That there shows....
How boring has the undertaker's gimmick become over the years? It got tediously LAME 4 years ago. How anyone can find his 5 minute entrances entertaining, I'll never understand. If you want to talk about overall entertainers, talk about The Rock.
I think Orton or Angle will be the best entertainers tbh... THey both are extremely good at promos, and edgy, and great performers, Ric Flair is still extremely good for a60 year old man.

Hulk Hogan nor Bret Hart are nothing compared to Ric Flair. Hogan sucked, Hart sucked. He should have stay with whatever band he was in back in the early eighties. As for Bret his brother Owen God resr his soul could out shine him anyday.
He Sucks!!! RIC FLAIR is a coach flyin,pinto drivin, denture stealin,dollar store dealin NO BILL PAYIN', son of a gun wooooooooooooooooo

@whitederek2000 Are you going to do a video for Shawn Michaels now since he has retired? I have heard some people say it is a work, others including Michaels say it is not. If it isn't a work, I'm sad to see him go but I didn't think after Wrestlemania XIV he'd return and give me eight years of great matches.

Well, I'd love to do a shawn video, but starting tommorow I will be without a internet conncetion for about 2 months. If I decide to do one, I could start with material off my hard drive but in the end I need the net for pics and vids. Mostly importantly I would like that video of Shawn's "last" walk through the dressing room Wrestlemania night. Stay tuned

Some people think it is a work Shawn's retirement. Being a fan of his, I hope it is a work, but if its not he deserves a great send off and he got one.

@whitederek2000 Do it man. I'd like to see an epic Shawn Michaels tribute like this.

A big difference between someone like Ric Flair or Terry Funk retiring and Shawn is that Shawn has had his share of devastating injuries. Flair stayed healthy for 30 years.

@DrewBludd True, plus if you're going to go out, go out on top and on your own terms. Last time Shawn retired, it wasn't under his terms at least this time he had more say on the way he wanted to bow out.

I dont think i've ever seen someone who loves his career more than that man. I dont beleive for a second that he decided to retire. I think if flair had his way, he'd wrestle until his dying day. Those we're real tears, and a life well spent. Good Man. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Top 3 greatest of all time? Crippler Stevens over Lou Thez? Are you kidding? Thez wrestled from the 1930s to the 1990s. His last match was at age 74. I would deffinatly put him above The Crippler.
TheForgottenFlesh 2 years ago
You're definately right... I'm thinking he just means based strictly on in-ring performance...

In response to WhyMagic's retarded, one sided answer, Ric Flair has been a pioneer and namesake for over THIRTY years. He was a big name player in the WWF before WCW. It has nothing to do with HHH or HBK or what stroke you think they have with that company. He EARNED his credit because of his career, not because of where he was during it. He transcended wrestling to another level years ago, and it wouldn't have progressed as it has if it wasn't for him.

flair was ALWAYS wcw/nwa.... he only spent a small amount of time in the WWF, so why on earth would WWE pay such respects to someone who was hugely part of the company that tried to put the WWF out of buisness? the answer... because of HHH and HBK.they have far too much say, and far too much power. WWE will never be big again while these two ass clowns are around. Most fans think flair is a 16 time WWF champ, thats how dumb they are

No doubt Ric Flair was great for WWE!..Was he the best?...I dont think so. You can make an arguement either way but i think that the Undertaker will be considered the best overall entertainer, and best character in wrestling. From his amazing entrances and his excitement, i just think he is better. If you walked down a street and asked random people who Ric Flair were, or the Undertaker..there are prolly 60-40 or maybe even 80-20 that know the Undertaker over Ric Flair. That there shows....
Shaggychurchshoes 2 years ago
How boring has the undertaker's gimmick become over the years? It got tediously LAME 4 years ago. How anyone can find his 5 minute entrances entertaining, I'll never understand. If you want to talk about overall entertainers, talk about The Rock.
tjwwe 2 years ago 4
I think Orton or Angle will be the best entertainers tbh... THey both are extremely good at promos, and edgy, and great performers, Ric Flair is still extremely good for a60 year old man.

Hulk Hogan nor Bret Hart are nothing compared to Ric Flair. Hogan sucked, Hart sucked. He should have stay with whatever band he was in back in the early eighties. As for Bret his brother Owen God resr his soul could out shine him anyday.
