Ric Flair on the final WCW Monday Nitro

[OmarWWERKO]

Miss WCW and WCW Monday Nitro it is 10000000000000 times better than the shit RAW we see now on tv

[jasonarmstrong1982]

This makes me sad every time I watch it.

[AmericanWolves13]

I'm exhausted just watching this lol

[t762]

Vince McMahon dislikes this video.

[fridogg]

Hogan , this is something that you did not have, Flair is the best performer ever

[Red81181]

Oh my god....it's TNA in a past life........only not as shitty.

[AmericanWolves13]

@Red81181 You need to watch WCW from 1999-2000. Way shittier than TNA

[Red81181]

@AmericanWolves13 Yeah, it was only a matter of time before they went down.

[goforride57]

Ah, yes. The day wrestling died...R.I.P.

[wcwfanforlyfe]

@goforride57 Yes, it was the day professional Wrestling died. it was really a sad day for wcw fans, I was a fan of the promotion from the start, even after ten years after it died I a still a fan.

[maexeyetel]

Ric Flair is so awsome at cutting a promo... I always thought it was funny that he would sweat doing it lol

[UltraTalented]

Lookin back at old WCW nitro shows WCW presented it self as a real sports show. It looked like the big leagues wcw was the NBA wwf was the aba

[deadkennedy00]

@UltraTalented Except the ABA didnt buy the NBA

[unopeneddoor]

@UltraTalented

WCW towards the end of the company was a train wreck. WWF had more talent, and better angles. WWE today sucks donkey balls, bat at this time it was better than WCW. And no WCW did not present itself as a real sport, take the "powers that be" angle. They straight out said that WCW was written. WCW was great until Hogan got involved in it, and was fun during the EARLY days of the NWO, but was crap after that.

[wcwfanforlyfe]

to quote tony schivoni,' we have seen the end of an era' rest in peace wcw, that night was not only the death of wcw, it was also the death of the greatest sport on the face of the earth, professional wrestling.

[balser77]

@wcwfanforlyfe It sure was and it hasn't been the same since.

[alphatoddio]

Flair is the best promo man ever! Whooo !!!!!!!

[stinger2011full]

always be the best WCW hagen hagen what they say and say what the best is the WCW as among the best is sting

[144church]

Nobody in the history of wrestling cuts a promo like Flair!

[rtfuhj]

WCW +ECW=TNA !!!!! tna tna tna kick wwe's ass the fucking suck and are a disgrace to pro wrestling i will support tna and do anything i can to help them do that with every breath in my fucking body!!!!!!

[unopeneddoor]

@rtfuhj

TNA is unwatchable. It's brigns back memories of the WORST of WCW, not the best.

[rtfuhj]

To you of course! the only unwatchable bull shit is that circus joke wwe that shit is bullhist and a joke to wrestling tna brings back memories of wcw and ecw at there peak plus the do wrestling and have respect for it unlike the wwe circus! Tna is where wrestling matters son!

[unopeneddoor]

@rtfuhj

WWE isn't very good either, but it puts TNA to shame. At least WWE has WRESTLING on, not an hour and a half of interviews. ROH owns both easily.

[rtfuhj]

wwe is a cow shit soap opera with no talent steriod freaks tna is pro wrestling!

[unopeneddoor]

@rtfuhj

TNA is shit.

[rtfuhj]

Walk in the building and tell them that son!! you are though!

[rtfuhj]

Roh is the shit though but you need to check out new japan,aaa, and cmll!! fuck wwe

[unopeneddoor]

@rtfuhj

I have.

[Batistaberg]

@unopeneddoor WWE has no wrestling, kid! it has Sports fucking entertainment...

[unopeneddoor]

@Batistaberg

There's no such thing as "sports entertainment." the term was invented to keep the government off Vince's ass. I don't like WWE either, but it's better than TNA. They both suck though.

[Erionnacirema]

Part 2 - Hey, anybody out there remember THESE names:

The Funks, The Briscos, The Gagnes, The Von Erichs, Bob Orton, Sr. & Jr., Thunderbolt Patterson, Harley Race, The Andersons, Rick Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, Luger, Sting, Wahoo McDaniel, Dusty Rhodes, Blackjack Mulligan, his 2 sons Barry & Kendall Windham, The Armstrongs, Ron & Jimmy Garvin, The Rock & Roll Express, The Midnight Express, Sid Vicious, Mean Mark, Tony Atlas, Ron Simmons, etc.

[Erionnacirema]

Whether U like him or HATE him, Ric Flair was THE MAN of the NWA & WCW. WWF/WWE can't even TOUCH THIS !

I am old enough to remember Flair's very FIRST match ! I'll NEVER forget the old NWA, at the old Charlotte Coliseum and the great matches of the 70's thru 90's.

Vince MaMahon, U can't KILL the memories of TRUE wrestling fans, yes those who GREW UP watching NWA/WCW.

WWF/WWE ISN'T the CLASS of Pro Wrestling !

[Tony7z10]

What are you talking about?! TNA the new WCW are you alright in the head? They barley beat Nxt in ratings a few months ago they head to move back to thursdays because they were completely dominated by RAW on Monday. It's embarrassing beaten by a RAW that is not even that good anymore. TNA is lightyears away from what WCW was let alone what WWE is today. One thing is for sure wrestling is in a very dark place now.

[kingofrockandrollfan]

Whether you believe he has ruined his legacy or not or whether you think he should just retire or not No one can deny the pure passion he has for what he does. and today at 62 he still cuts some of the best promos and tells a great story in that ring.

The one thing I wish would happen is for him to have a feud with The Rock. Can you imagine the back and forth promos?

Well I can dream.

[Batistaberg]

Hypocrite! 1,5 years later he became Vince's and HHH's asskisser! But finally he did the right thing to go to TNA.

[mmabuff101]

your dad sat on the board of directors, and VOTED....FOR ME....TO BE....THE WORLD CHAMPION! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

(hit the ropes)

[mmabuff101]

nothing beatas a crazy eyed ric flair promo

[Cinj216]

5:10 I want to be the very best Like no wrestler ever was To be the man is my real test To go "WOOOOOOOOO!" is my cause I will travel across the land Doing shows far and wide Each wrestling fan to understand The power that's inside WCW! It's you and me To feud with Sting is my destiny WCW! Oh you're the best brand In a wrestling world we must defend WCW! A brand so true Our finishing moves will pull us through You watch me and I'll teach you WCW! WOOOOOOOOOOO!

[mmscott9]

Jack Brisco, Dory Funk.. and Bagwell?!

[TeamTote]

@AziaXtreme the WWF was part of the NWA until Vince Jr. pulled out of the group in 1984

[AziaXtreme]

3:53 What did he mean by Vince's dad voted him 2 b world champion? couldn't be WWF bcuz Flair was with the NWA

[mmabuff101]

@AziaXtreme there was a time when nwa was comprised of all the territorial promotions through the USA. all the promoters would sit together & decide who would be the world champion. anyways, wwe (originally wwwf) was part of NWA and vince sr was one that voted for Ric Flair to be champ. eventually vince jr. broke away from the nwa and set out to take over the wrestling business. eventually most territories were either bought by vince or fused into the NWA/WCW

[MrPsycaholic]

Yea... TNA is exactly what wcw was.... Pretty bad huh.

[1988dlm]

WHAT A PROMO!!!!!!!!!!

[SafetySam]

What a coincidence. All these fans saying they wish WCW was back and how they miss WCW. WCW is in fact back...although now they call it TNA. Enjoy!

[Moredread25]

It really says something for WCW that even with all its problem it did as well as it did against RAW, something that TNA couldn't do at all.

[leedogg6T9]

i miss it when they were competing with vince but honestly during the last year of its existence it really was shitty

[darthanakin87]

"the greatest wrestling organization of all time!" very true! That's also why I watch TNA just to see a little bit of this!

[bob2012isfake]

they should bring back wcw as a wwe program only make it like the old wcw before and during the nwo run when it was good before nwo  strarted to get to big and suck put it in saturday

nights

[y2gorms]

Bagwell?!?

[Rimbaud1531]

I can NOT believe he mentioned Bagwell in that group...

God lord.

[UltMitSinner78]

I like how Flair said WCW sucked and he was embarresed to be a part of the show. Yet he cuts this promo. Flair is fucking lying bitch. Scott Steiner was right in his shoot interview(s) Flair is a back stabbing liar.

[LOLMikeHawk]

The darkest day for proffesional wrestling. Look what Vince has done to it since then. It's so lame, only 5 year olds watch it.

[Mocktezuma111]

RIC FLAIR WAS WCW TILL THE END!!!

WCW Had talent man!!

[youngTaharka]

best ever THE NATURE BOY!!!!

[BOOMEROU4]

i miss WCW

[charlsyboy]

If TNA was anything close to what the early WCW days where, it would be great!! unfortunately it is not that! .. Ric Flair cuts some of the best promos wrestling has ever seen!! Funny to think this last promo would be it! well not so much for Ric but for the rest of the WCW roster, yes!

[rich5248]

Was Flair shooting in this interview?

[kjnash432]

I am sorry but TNA is not WCW!, It is unfortunate that Wrestling is not what is was in the 90s..... and it shows on both promotions. They just like are trying to create the 90s over again, but its not going well...

[pistonstoned]

By the way that he sais Bagwell, I think Flair suprised himself saying that.

[AaronOhYeah]

Did Flair really mention Buff Bagwell among Dory Funk, the Briscoes. and himself??

[macibes]

@AaronOhYeah I hope not

[nsmiley24]

Well he also mentioned the Steiners even though Scott hated his guts and shot on him numerous times

[MIBFreakPack]

We need WCW back, to give WWE a run for the money again

[shariqua100]

i know thats right make vince work again

[raw207]

WCW is still here, it's just call TNA now.

[wisemanfcs]

@MIBFreakPack well u do have tna

[MIBFreakPack]

@wisemanfcs Well when it gets larger then we will see.

[tacoman153]

@MIBFreakPack that doesn't make sence...WWE owns WCW...retard. You've got TNA though... lol like that will happen.

[MIBFreakPack]

@tacoman153 Have another rebellion, idk...

[jojajo301]

@tacoman153 stop hatin on tna

[tacoman153]

@jojajo301 its lame beans.

[multicoloredbrothers]

@tacoman153 tna is as close to real wrestling as it gets nowadays

[TehLeek]

@MIBFreakPack Nope, WCW turned to complete shit in it's last days. Made TNA look like gold shat out of diamonds.

[MIBFreakPack]

@TehLeek and WWE is any different? The only difference is that WWE is a monopoly and TNA is little competition.

[gazz12345a]

@MIBFreakPack They are back, its called TNA. Except they're 20 years older now.

[dciguy01]

@MIBFreakPack it is back (TNA)

[MIBFreakPack]

@dciguy01 Yeah but they are not as big as WCW was against the WWE

[brudog56]

I used to consider this one of my favorite Flair promos, but once he went on record saying that he was "thrilled" to hear that WCW was shutting down, some of the piss and vinegar drained out of it for me.

[batmanjwo]

He was thrilled because it wasn't "WCW" anymore. It had been bastardized by Vince Russo into a shell of its former self. WCW was the alternative to the WWF. It was "rasslin" and Russo tried to clone WWF. His promo is from the heart because he hoped that Vince might keep it as an alternative.

[Batistaberg]

@batmanjwo Yeah, instead Vince used ECW as an "alternative"... an alternative you clean his stinkin shoes.

[Dud512]

i don't know what to think about Ric Flair anymore because one minute he says WCW was the greatest then he turns around and says he was happy to see it go down? I don't know

[raceway24]

Things change when someone else starts signing your paychecks.

[Dud512]

you may have a point, but at the same time what does ric flair the person out of the ring feel

[jtlbb2]

Probably really does feel WWE is better. I know a lot of guys like Bobby Heenan said they always liked WWE better it's just that WCW was easier on them as far as living and travel and things like that.

[Lusy]

At one time WCW was the greatest. By the time this happened, WCW was a mess thanks to inept booking and endless backstage politicking.

[Dud512]

exactly wat is politicin cuz I hear that thrown around a whole lot, but I never knew what it meant

[nsmiley24]

People like Hogan using his powers to change the outcome of matches and who would stay on top

[Swgivov]

I really miss WcW

[Geraldon1]

THE Best.

[boneplayer032003]

wwe will release the rise and fall of wcw in august i sure this will be including in the dvd.

[quintus91]

did scott hudson sa 13 time champion at 0:34? thought had flair had 14 in wcw

[DANfan69]

He did have 14 World Championships, when he came into the WWE, they added in his two WWE Championship reigns, hence he was called a 16 time world champion from then on.

[guitarhero626]

he is actually a 21 time world champion, there are a few NWA title reigns that arent counted by WWE

[BPavsner]

The great irony of this night was that Sting and Flair had one hell of the match. One of the best Nitro ever had. If WCW had more of the Sting v. Flair varity, it would have been watchable.

[Bmaddymusic]

Equal my butt.....They had a cute lil run from 96 to 01.....WWF/ WWE has and will always reign supreme!!!!! TNA can take that to the bank!!!!!!!

[ACDCFan38]

Flair says 14 time world champ in this promo. He was a 16 time WC when he retired. Where did Flair get his other two world HW titles?

[32degreez]

he was in wcw so he doesn't acknowledge his two wwf/wwe title reigns

[ACDCFan38]

Ah yes, i didn't put two and two together there. Should have remembered that. Thanks for clearing that up.

[quintus91]

Hes actually had around 20 world championships

[latinoStandUp13]

wcw was better til the last year fags

[dylanrocks83]

I was always a WWF fan first, but I loved WCW too. I always dreamed of Sting vs. Warrior back in the early 90s. I always wanted to see a ppv where the best of both fought maybe every four years like the olympics. I never wanted them to merge because they were so different and enjoyable. Now WWE is nothing like it was, and WCW is missed.

[latinoStandUp13]

ye like the dream match was goldberg vs austin or HHH vs. kevin nash but wrestlings falling

[SiMags]

Was the last Nitro episode booked by WWE or WCW?

Flair said himself it was the happiest day of his career when WWE bought WCW because the company was shit in the last two years it was around.

[mccollum33m]

wwe/wwf is the same company retard. kmg you suck whoooooooooo

[kmg4]

Mccollum33m is a faggot, and also a redneck for watching WCW.

[BruiserDrop]

I don't care what anyone thinks, Ric Flair has always bled NWA/WCW not WWF

[sxw]

I was at this show you can see my sign at the 9 second mark.

[02261982]

WWE is nothing but crap! WCW forever!

[kmg4]

WCW always sucked. They sure knew how to waste money. WWE sucks, but WWF was awesome. It was what heterosexuals watched.

[02261982]

Fuck you,bitch! WWE/WWF was and will always be nothing but bullshit. WCW 4 Life, bitch. Go to hell!

[Buckethead1985]

You're damn fucking right, WWE is crap!!!

[murphy9791]

Custom made from head to toe! WOOOOOOOOOO!

[murphy9791]

Custom made from head to toe! WOOOOOOOOOO!

[02261982]

Go to hell, Bitch! WCW will always be a great wrestling league. Fuck you for making that dunbass statement. You stupid piece of shit.

[02261982]

You are probably gay yourself.

[BillCosby88]

Ric Flair is the best wrestlter on the mic

[darklordsauron3]

I think he over-sells it a little.  Without joking, he looks like my dad.
