Good god, I can't get enough of this promo! No promo from any wrestler from any era compares to this. And no one compares to Ric Flair! Whoooooooooooo!
this is a good one but i think the best promo flair has ever done is called"your looking at the man"it is the best i believe funny as hell and as only the nature boy can do it...woooo
And Honey, Im not going to take you home no matter what you say to me!!!!!! Most classic side note in any promo ever. and you cant take that to the bank, FAT BOY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I agree with you. Not only was Flair on point but he infused this particular interview with with several cultural references that really have a lot of currency. The first is a reference to Dallas and JR. Who wasn't asking the question "Who Shot JR?". Second, the way he used the Carpenters song "We've Only Just Begun." Excellent work Mr. Flair!
check out ric flair promo your looking at the man its a good one but the best is look under ric flair ric flair promo it has a red back ground too it you will laugh your ass off check them out they are good
Notice at 1:09 - 1:15 he takes a shot at the WWF, saying this isn't Rock n Roll Music, This isn't Hollywood California. Slick Ric at his best. WOOOO!!!
no shit, he might be able to bring this trainwreck known as WWE back to life. Shit when WCW died a little bit of my heart did too, for that was also the end of what was left of NWA. I'll watch starrcade reruns before I watch any of the bozos that think they are fit to hold a mic today. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mine too, JR was the best! Takin' down that idiot Barnes and Vaughn Leland...and Jeremy Wendell and Bobby and Ray Krebbs and Cliff Barnes again and Dusty Farlow and Valene and Gary and Cliff Barnes again and Pamela,,, and Cliff Barnes again! LOL! Love that show!
Rick and JR have A LOT in COMMON!! Both are 100% MEN who carry BIG sticks and sure as hell aren't afraid to WALK AND TALK with them!!
If you want to see what true swagger is just watch JR and the Nature Boy. 100% American Made 100% American Men. Men out there start trying to be A LOT more like JR and Rick every day!!
They dont make em like that no more and that is just the truth these guys today gotta impress the people with their size and muscles but back then you had to have the gift of gab I remeber my grandmother looking at Rick when we would watch on saturday morning like she wanted to jump his bones man those guys were the total package as was also let me not forget Dusty Rhodes.............The Rock has a lil of that but he's the only one who could talk it like that now.....
Be glad the Bionic Redneck barely made my Top 10 at #8. Barely. Didn't wanna hear from you Austin Kool-Aid drinkers whining about how come Austin didn't make it. I'm still not 100 percent sure he's better than Foley
Pretty solid list, but I'm very inclined to put The Rock as 1B on that list...I know Flair came first, but The Rock was so creative and one of the funniest ever...
Not even if God taught Raven how to do promos would he ever be in Arn Anderson's or Shawn Michaels class. Raven wouldn't even make my Top 20. Can you say bizarre and creepy?
Top 20 coming soon any suggestions? so far Jericho, Brody, Road Warrior Hawk, Ole, Superstar Billy Graham, Gino Hernandez, Austin Idol, RIcky Morton, Tully Blanchard.
This guy is unbelieavable. You want to know what happened to wrestling? Guys now can't do a promo to save thier life. There are a few, but not any close the Ric.
The Greatest Sport In The World. I agreed. But I never understood why I couldn't find it in The Philadelphia Inquirer Sports Section? Hockey was there but I couldn't think NWA?
The NWA in 85-88 used to outdraw the WWF all the time in my hometown Chicago (Flair and the hometown Road Warriors had a lot to do with that) and Philly. Jim Crockett Promotions would be mentioned in the Sun Times or Tribune while the WWF would rarely get a blip. I chalk that up to Flair and the NWA roster being more credible in the ring. Flair was clearly more popular than Hogan in Chicago, Philly and Baltimore based on drawing money as the WWF rarely traveled there for big shows after 84.
Maybe Chicago, but not Philly. The WWF would sell out the Spectrum all of the time. The NWA used to run the Convention Center which was a much smaller venue.
Starcade 84...Nature Boy Ric Flair against Harley Race in a steel cage match for the NWA World Heavyweight Title...it was bloody, but the Nature Boy got the Gold..WWHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Flawless...

The best talkers ever in wrestling:

2. The Rock - Flair's only legitimate rival on the mic.

4. Shawn Michaels
5. Arn Anderson
