Isn't this the same Ric Flair who showed up on WWF programming with the WCW world title?!!! Yet he has the balls to say the NWO felt they were bigger than WCW?!!! What a hypocrite!!!
i agree with flair in both of these. He doesn't like guys who think that it's their job to look out for #1 first, and guys who refuse to job. How many times has flair put guys over. Compare that to the rest of the guys in these other factions who thought that they were above the company. They kept deserving young talent of the top of the card and put nobody over but themselves.
Ric Flair has the audacity to insult Hall and Nash's ability?? Seriously? Hall and Nash did more moves in one match than Flair did in his entire career. Flair is honestly the most deluded piece of shit to ever grace the ring.
flair is great, but what did flair draw in his lifetime? not as much as bret or mic foley in the attitude era. when flair was last champ in wcw they were wrestling in front of 3,000 people. flair was too loyal to wcw, he could have drawn more in wwe.
@homerguy4444 .....No flair drew much better then bret. Mick foley you could argue as far as comparing years but lifetimes not even close. I mean bret did nothing in wcw and to be honest still didnt come close in wwf.
Flair is the single greatest personality in the history of professional wrestling. NOBODY had his ring style, NOBODY had his mic skills, NOBODY could could bring sheer adoration or sheer hatred out of a crowd like The Nature Boy. NOBODY. Not Hogan, Not Bret Hart, Not HBK, Not Triple H. NOBODY.
Problem is Flair's time had passed at least a decade ago but he just doesn't want to let go. Now he's just become a bitter parody of himself...
Also, Flair was in his prime during a different era. Wrestling wasn't "cool" in the 70's and 80's. No one went to school wearing wrestling gear and talking about the matches they saw. Can't compare that era to now. Back then, they wrestled 7 days a week so there were a lot of tiny venues with small crowds. Today, wrestling is accepted as cool and they only wrestle 2-3 times a week. Thus, bigger venues and larger crowds. Watch old Flair matches, not much "flopping" and really high quality
The stuff Flair does in the ring in his 60's is amazing. How many people in their 40's can take the bumps he takes at his age? He sounds like a jerk in real life but in the ring, you have to give him his due. He's earned the right to give whatever opinion he wants. So has Bret Hart and a lot of others guys who take shots at him. One thing few people dispute is that Flair was ALWAYS willing to make his opponent look good. Too bad he's broke and can't enjoy his legacy but that's his fault.
@Fireproofretz dude had 4 wives and needs the money. You have to respect that he's still working. He made his mistakes, he knows it, and he's trying to handle business.
He just hates everyone behind there back, as for Bret, he went to WCW and didn't draw a dime cause they didn't use him and then when he finally got a push Goldberg gave him a concussion.
@gangstamatchia25 Yeah, TNA is the new WCW. Incredible talent (even despite pushing stars who are are too old), some great matches, awful management. Their story lines are painfully bad. I'd like to blame Bischoff, but that's probably too simplistic. It's a shame Flair needs the money that badly.
..Ric Flair has always been overrated, I mean the guy gave good promos but none of his promos were ever as exciting as Hogan, Warrior, Jake The Snake, Undertaker, Austin, HBK, Sting, Rock or even Mick Foley.
Flair is the greatest of all time (doesn't matter if u agree it's a fact). I agree with everything... Bret was a technical machine but he lacked the mic skills & personality. Flair #1
@mosset4 Flair lacked the not doing coke skills and blowing all your money on bad investments... and also lacked the ability to not get punched in the face by his daughter's boyfriend. Doesn't matter if you agree it's a fact.
ric flair is the biggest wrestling hypocrite along side hulk hogan. but i just heard hes signed a deal with some energy drink company which happens to be better than his current deal with tna. true stories so dnt know if u will c him in tna for much longer.
Bashing Hall's choices/lifestyle outside of the ring would make sense, but his in-ring work? Is he joking? Hall = great on the mic, great in the ring: can work big, small, pretty much any style, great charisma. As an in-ring performer, Hall pretty much was the full deal.
@TheREGISMarkV What he said MAY have been true and that is fine. BUT, Steiner himself is just as much a corporate whore just like he said about Ric. Steiner is no DIFFERENT!!!!
Now one thing I forgot to mention is WCW was never ran right..Russo isn't all that responible for the demise of WCW..The only thing I do have to blame them for that Bullshit Storyline after the nWo angle..New Blood,,Millionares Club..I mean what dickhead even though of that??People please tell me
@MCELVAINE6996 LOL Russo and Bischoff but you can bet it was Russo who penned it. It was a stupid way of attracting younger fans off the WWF it worked in a way cause I remember watching some of that crap too :)
@Padgeify yeah and guess what,,when I saw that crap I changed the channel to watch WWF Raw/Smackdown to see Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock etc have a better show..Its my belief that WCW could have won the Monday Night Wars only if they stayed the course..Meaning some of those wrestlers would have had to go..It is called corprate restrusting..Or give them better storylines or something because the storyline were the backbone of watching the program to begin with
Personally I think hes was the worse wrestler in the world..I also think he was out of line with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash/nWo. Because without the nWo,,WCW wouldn't have won any ratings at all with the WWF. The reason WCW got its fame at all was largely because of Hulk Hogan and the nWo..Because how many people was really watching the N.W.A compared to the people watching the WWF??
@MCELVAINE6996 You're exactly right, during the biggest moments in the history of wrestling Flair was always a non factor. He had a gimmick for being great, but that's because he was a big fish in a small pond, when he went to WWE he was no big deal and when he went back to WCW, he got overshadowed by the NWO.
@Rucker1980 Its true from a certain point of view. Because in 1992 Ric Flair was given the WWF title for a minute and thats souly because of the push and Hogan can't keep the belt forever (although we wanted him to)
@Rucker1980 Also I want to say this,,the WWF at that time really didn't need Ric Flair largley because of Hulk Hogan.Some can say Ric Flair was great but Hogan was greater..
@Rucker1980 WWE dropped the ball w/ Flair in the early 90's. Flair vs Hogan should have been a guaranteed main event for WM8. You had the 2 most important names in the industy working for the same company. It was Vince's refusal to educate the fans on Flair, his refusal to acknowledge Flair's role in the rival company that killed Flair's momentum. As for the NWO, Flair wasn't overshadowed, he was BURIED. Big difference.
@NaughtybyNaitcha So you blame WWF for their fans not "knowing" Ric Flair - That`s a little bit cheap buddy!
By the way: Even WCW didn`t give a shit about the NWA belt at the beginning of the 90`s anymore - It was only called the "big golden belt" or "international championship" on WCW TV!
@SuperJuliusC Actually Vince wanted to bring Flair in in 1988. Flair had been having problems w/ Dusty & was considering jumping ship. He had been talking to Vince & was very close to signing a contract. In the end, Flair chose to stay where he was. Good thing he did because Turner wouldn't have bought WCW w/o Flair.
@NaughtybyNaitcha Well here are some numbers that might interest you:
NWA: 44, 69, 45;
WCW: 26, 78, 28, 7, 0;
WWF: 77, 41;
Those numbers represent the days the majority of Ric Flair title reigns lasted (The "0" is the title he was given by Kevin Nash but then was awarded to Jeff Jarrett by WCW at the same day)!
@SuperJuliusC You're going out of your way to discredit Flair. What's the matter? Did he refuse to let you ride Space Mountain?
I happen to know that one of Flair's reigns lasted from November 1987 to February 1989. His next reign lasted from May 1989 to July 1990. Both reigns lasted over a year.
When you were doing your "research," did you happen to notice the politics at work? Eddie Graham pushing for Dusty to be champ. Fritz pushing for his sons. Flair's problems w/ Dusty & Jim Herd.
As far as in ring is concerned top performer. But most people i have heard talk about, say how bad he is behind the scenes. He has managed to fall out with a lot of people. The only people who he gets on this video who deserve it are Ed Ferrara, Vince Russo, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. The rest of them he is just boosting his ego by putting them down.
Vince himself shit worse on Jim Ross! He fired him and then had a guy in a JR mask bent over a table, pulling stuff out of his ass. WWE was way more personal!
Of all the wrestling characters, Flair is among the most boring. Small, shit physique, crap wrestler, yellow hair, old looking, speech impediment, no stand out features. He bored me. There was nothing to hate or like. Used to tape WWF/WCW as a kid and would always fast forward when he came on. Will never understand how he made it. He must have had good contacts to get on and keep appearing. Hes a forgettable character.
He should stick to doing interviews for at least this is entertaining.
@Ali74 Well to each they're own. Many dont like the old school style but i do. Hes a top performer. His matches with Barry Windam, and Ricky are amazing.
@Rucker1980 They kept giving Flair title reign after title reign because Flair was a proven draw & he was reliable. Flair showed up ready to go & he usually had the best match on the card. The guys who took the belt from Flair were talented but the fans were behind them more when they were chasing the title, not when they actually held the title. Flair was such a fixture in WCW that when he left in '91, there were the "We want Flair" chants. Those chants continued until he returned in '93.
@NaughtybyNaitcha "They" were basically Dusty Rhodes Ole Anderson and Ric Flair himself!
By the way: You mentioned 1993 - Flair was the head booker at that time and when he heard that WCW was negotiating with Hogan he booked himself in the title reign which led to "Bash at the beach 1994".
there was once a time when Flair was the epitome of class. When one was asked to name the classiest and stylish wrestlers ever, Flair would have to be on the list. Those days are long gone. Talking trash like he does should be something beneath a real legend. This is one of many reasons I have so much respect for Randy Savage--there's a guy who walked away when it was time and enjoyed a quiet life out of the spotlight leaving a legacy untarnished. Flair just makes me sad because he's a joke now.
Ok I didn't say he wasn't! So how long has your video been on here? Under 1 month right. You say oh he's been there (tna) for 2 years I knew that. Hogan would beat flair's ass. Flair is a nobody!
Guys hes only in TNA and only wrestling for that matter because he owes the government somthing like a half million dollars in back taxes and cant make enough money to pay it off any other way.
Don´t miss understand me, Flair is a god damn Legend in this business. But the thinks he said about Hogan, Breat Hart, Foley, TNA, ans so on was bull shit.
Flair is a man who don´t know when it´s time to end his carreer.
Now he works for TNA because Vince didn´t pay enough.
Flair is one of the guys who only works for money.
And I´m sorry but his in ring skills are not better than guys like Nash or Foley
funny how Flair bashes Hall and Nash for the curtain call, yet he doesn't say shit about HHH and HBK. Hell, HBK was the one whose idea it was, yet he only gives it to Hall and Nash. What a pathetic, legacy destroying, ass kissing old fart
the fact is he can think what he want.its that simple.he is a living legend.you have two choices.you love him or hate him.but for what he has done in the business is without a doubt great.by the way.it is not only him that said nash is a jackass.some other wrestlers say that too.
"He couldn'd wrestling an hour if he had five oxygen tanks strap'd on his his back". Flair is the greatest of all time in professional wrestling baby.
Here are the facts Ric Flair wasnt over enough to face hogan at wrestlemania 8 so they gave him savage Bret Hart Main Evented 3 wrestlemanias stole the show with Austin and was part of one of the best tag teams in WWE history were the fourhorsemen in the WWE ? no they had the brainbusters tully and Arn but they were not over Flair is a bitter old man who never made it in the onyl company that matters nowadays!
Flair isn't "hating on everyone but him self. He is merely expressing his opinion. Just because a person freely expresses their opinion and doesn't say what the majority expects or desires automatically people conclude he is egotistical and only cares about him self. Not necessarily at all. And because people don't feel like developing rational comment/response backed with logic people hate on him or whoever that person is.
ive NEVER liked ric flair he's a flabby ass toe steppin bitch he thinks he's better then everyone els and he's not never was he's a drunk asshole is what he is and a groper
One thing I love about most of these old wrestlers like Flair, is that they talk so much garbage you wonder how they're not getting their asses kicked just coming out of the house to get the paper off the porch. Greatest? Foley couldn't wrestle an hour? Does Flair even realize that HE can't/could never really wrestle at ALL! A real wrestler would fold him like a chair in 90 seconds.
He's a pessimist, so what? Would be a different story if he loved everyone. If you aren't optimistic then just kill yourself, that's what society implies.
Flair has got to be one of the most self centered, ego-maniac wrestlers of all time. I know that all wrestlers thing they are king. I knew someone who was a former wwe wrestler, same thing all around. This is my prediction, You will see wrestling fade out within the next 5 yrs. You heard it here.
@rock853okg have you seen the state of the WWE these days? some would argue wrestling has already died out. Your not predicting anything that would be a shock to anyone
Flair is one of the biggest flip flops in wrestling of all time. You never know what is coming out of his mouth. First he says he doesn't like TNA, then he wrestles in TNA. Flair, you are a great wrestler, but it damn about time for you to shut up and RETIRE!
"what is tna" its where your old ass is going after wwe puts u in retirement. I meet flair he's a drunk asshole said he was going to fuck me up cause I was standing near him! I never liked u bitch you where a out of shape phony champion " till hogan showed up " real world's champion! Nature boy buddy rogers rip off!
Flair ends up working in TNA despite saying that it's completely disrespectful to the WWE to do so? He also says that TNA is nothing. He really needs the money... as far as I'm aware Mick Foley doesn't.
all the NWA and AWA stars that came through Stampede Wrestling? Flair is just .... old, and still has to wrestle as a near senior citizen just to pay off old debts. You'd think something like that would humble someone, but I guess not.
Flair drew money in the 80s, hands down, unquestionably, bar none. From 1989 til now, he has not drawn anything. 22 years of not drawing, and he's still wrestling. In the 90s, the NWO (Hall, Nash and Hogan) were drawing crowds like it was no one's business. Flair drew nothing in WCW when they first hit the scene. WCW never overtook WWF in the ratings war on his watch. He says Bret didn't wrestle the guys he wrestled. Well, that's because he was in the WWF. Duh! I wonder why Flair didn't mention
One thing Flair has been teaching us for decades is that when you're a "limousine ridin, jet flyin son of a gun," you end up still wrestling in your 60's for money. Mick Foley and Bret Hart win.
@cliffburton333 Bret Hart wins? Really? Bret was all high and mighty, talking about how he would never do business w/ Vince again, even accused Vince of being responsible for Owen's death. But then he went crawling back to Vince when his money ran out.
@NaughtybyNaitcha I'm sure it wasn't a money thing. He wanted a good relationship with Vince because his family was working there and everything, and because he said he was tired of being mad all the time. After 10+ years it was time to put the past behind them. Flair went to TNA because he needed money, big difference.
i admit that he was a huge star both in WWF and WCW... but when you get older you lose everything, the charisma, the athleticism, and the in ring perfomance... he cant get those now... thats why he burry his ego and went to TNA... just to make money...
@reindeer84 In comparison to WWE, what is TNA? Even the most passionate TNA fan has to admit that TNA is lightyears away from being where WWE is. Foley has said it. Nash has said it. Flair has said it. Even a TNA mainstays like AJ Styles has said it. TNA wrestlers are just as talented as WWE wrestlers (more talented in the case of the women), but TNA needs to create an awareness of their product. They need to let the world know that they exist. Until they do, they'll continue to lag behind WWE.
Ric Flair thinks hes all that. to me he is one of the worst wrestlers ever. i hate how every one thinks hes so good. he is still trying wrestle in tna. give it up Ric u suck. his skin is melting off his flesh. u sucked in the past and hes even worst now!
@nomercy3000 honestly i agree with you, i think ric flair is overrated cos of the titles he won (which basically is the faith the companies had in him to put him over tht many times), and the longevity hes had in the business....flair sold people's moves very well, but damn everyday for over 25 yrs, taking a back body drop, delivering chest chops, yelling "whooo", and the figure four leg lock jus becomes boring. flair had great mic skills but i hated watching his matches
@nomercy3000 Obviously you never paid attention to Ric when he was in his prime. He was the best overall performer. He had it all. Ring skills, mic skills, and stunning good looks. He could captivate an audience like nobody else. Flair's in his 60's now but I'd still pay to see him even if he just cuts a promo. He's larger than life and he can teach the young guys in the business how to get over.
Ric Flair's wrestling moves are a punch, kick, chest slap, bodyslam. When he's on the mic all he does is scream about riding limousines. I never understood how anyone could be a fan of this clown.
He's right about Nash. The guy really had ZERO in-ring talent. ZILCH. NADA. He was charismatic and the crowd responded to him but he was a no-talent when the bell rang.
@RafikiafReKo nash may have been overrated, but not hall.....hall is actually quite underrated as a ring general, the guy could work, and had an array of moves....back in d day i'd rather watch a hall/razor ramon match thn flair, and i understand flair has been in this business longer thn many wrestlers were even born, but i dont get how people cud like flair's in ring performances...nash did ok when he had hall and hbk as tag partners tho....but hall was very gud b4 alchohol
RIC FLAIR IS THE BIGGEST JERK OF ALL TIME. BEATS WOMEN, STEALS, LIES, CHEATS...IN THE RING HE WILL ALWAYS BE SECOND TO HULK HOGAN. BUT IN REAL LIFE, HES A PEICE OF TRASH. IM FROM CHARLOTTE I SEE WHAT THIS GUY DOES. A BAD PERSON.
Flair is the greatest of all time and just like Michael Jordan when he went to the Wizards it was over. He's been done for about 15 years..Look in detail at what he said before you criticize him..he was right on the money..He has an ego that's a little too much and he's a staunch republican which shows in the way he talks..he reeks of George W. Bush( same personality). No one can give a in ring interview like him..Stone Cold is a close 2nd folled by The Rock..
Like Flair gives a shit what the young guys think. Flair buried guys like Hall before he got famous. It was only fair that Hall and the NWO made him look like shit in the 90s. Flair is the biggest piece of shit in wrestling. WWE did a good job of making a turd look like a shiny diamond. People actually think Flair is a nice guy and a good wrestler...
One last comment and I'm done. Even though I am a huge Flair mark, I agree that it's sad that he still has to wrestle in his 60's. I wish he and Bret Hart would bury the hatchet. Both were great performers in their day but both come across as big whiners when they rag on each other in the press. Why would Impact hire Flair? Because he still puts an ass every 18 inches. Flair is broke. He will work for whoever is going to pay him the most, period. Probably hates it but has no choice.

HOW CAN ANYONE FROM TNA HIRE RIC FLAIR....HE ADMITES NEGATIVITY TOWARDS TNA, AND NOW HE WORKS THERE. HOW COME NO ONE SHOWS THIS CLIP ON THE TNA TITANTRON??? IMAGINE THE REACTION......WHAT DOES HE DO AGAIN........NOT A WHOLE LOT. I STOPPED WATCHING ALL WRESTLING....BECAUSE IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
@flexwheeler100 wrestling is wayyy better now than it was years ago, look at the talent pool it is second to none, guys like John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, Jim Morrison, Batista, Big Show, and Triple H he's gonna be a Star down the Road,. Wrestling is Awesome These Days...
(cont'd) Flair had to put other wrestlers over wherever he traveled. So, he got his ass kicked a lot and would squeeze out a win. The business changed in the USA with Hogan's rise and the new era of superhero characters. Bret Hart is a Hall of Famer and so is Ric Flair. I prefer Flair's style from his prime but respect both. Flair drew plenty of money when wrestling wasn't considered cool. But the fan base is 10 times bigger now (due to Hogan) so comparing Flair/Hart is apples/oranges
It's so hard to compare the two because wrestling has changed so much. Back in the 70s and 80s, the NWA Champion defended the title around the world (Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Trinidad, etc) and throughout the USA. Young folks don't realize that Flair was HUGE around the world. 30-40,000 seat stadiums sold out regularly with 10,000 people rioting outside the stadium because they couldn't get in. Matches were considered legit competition to fans in other countries in those days.
@MrIce2290 Ric Flair Vs Antonio Noki (sp?) didn't that set the attendance record in the mid to late 90's... breaking Wrestlmania III's record of 93,000 so yeah I think Flair can put ass's in seats lol
@mcdrunkin Yes. New Japan Wrestling and WCW co-sponsored an event in North Korea over two days that drew over 300,000 fans. Flair vs. Inoki was the main event. The crowd estimate was around 190,000 for that match. To be fair, it was North Korea so who knows the true number but it was huge. Flair was considered the #1 legend of the West. Inoki was the #1 legend in Asia. Hogan was also huge in Asia but Flair was considered the more "legit" wrestler since the event was promoted as "real"
@mcdrunkin Just putting it out there, Wrestlemania 3 didn't have an attendance of 93000, they even admitted it on a WWE DVD. The actual number was about 78,000.
Oh Bret Hart didn't draw huh? Gee I remember watching Wrestlemania 10 and I seen and heard the reaction of the fans when Bret won the title from Yokozuna....I agree with his claims on Hall, Nash, Russo, and Ferrara. But Bret Hart? Seriously?!?
He say's Mick foley isn't in shape? When was Mick ever in shape.? Not just that, but isn't Ric a 60 year old man wrestling in a smaller company because he can't afford to pay for stuff.
Isn't this the same Ric Flair who showed up on WWF programming with the WCW world title?!!! Yet he has the balls to say the NWO felt they were bigger than WCW?!!! What a hypocrite!!!

ric flair is the biggest wrestling hypocrite along side hulk hogan. but i just heard hes signed a deal with some energy drink company which happens to be better than his current deal with tna. true stories so dnt know if u will c him in tna for much longer.

Bashing Hall's choices/lifestyle outside of the ring would make sense, but his in-ring work? Is he joking? Hall = great on the mic, great in the ring: can work big, small, pretty much any style, great charisma. As an in-ring performer, Hall pretty much was the full deal.

Now one thing I forgot to mention is WCW was never ran right..Russo isn't all that responible for the demise of WCW..The only thing I do have to blame them for that Bullshit Storyline after the nWo angle..New Blood,,Millionares Club..I mean what dickhead even though of that??People please tell me
MCELVAINE6996 1 month ago
@MCELVAINE6996 LOL Russo and Bischoff but you can bet it was Russo who penned it. It was a stupid way of attracting younger fans off the WWF it worked in a way cause I remember watching some of that crap too :)
Padgeify 4 weeks ago
@Padgeify yeah and guess what,,when I saw that crap I changed the channel to watch WWF Raw/Smackdown to see Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock etc have a better show..Its my belief that WCW could have won the Monday Night Wars only if they stayed the course..Meaning some of those wrestlers would have had to go..It is called corprate restrusting..Or give them better storylines or something because the storyline were the backbone of watching the program to begin with
MCELVAINE6996 3 weeks ago
Personally I think hes was the worse wrestler in the world..I also think he was out of line with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash/nWo. Because without the nWo,,WCW wouldn't have won any ratings at all with the WWF. The reason WCW got its fame at all was largely because of Hulk Hogan and the nWo..Because how many people was really watching the N.W.A compared to the people watching the WWF??
MCELVAINE6996 1 month ago
@MCELVAINE6996 You're exactly right, during the biggest moments in the history of wrestling Flair was always a non factor. He had a gimmick for being great, but that's because he was a big fish in a small pond, when he went to WWE he was no big deal and when he went back to WCW, he got overshadowed by the NWO.
Rucker1980 1 month ago
@Rucker1980 Its true from a certain point of view. Because in 1992 Ric Flair was given the WWF title for a minute and thats souly because of the push and Hogan can't keep the belt forever (although we wanted him to)
MCELVAINE6996 1 month ago
@Rucker1980 Also I want to say this,,the WWF at that time really didn't need Ric Flair largley because of Hulk Hogan.Some can say Ric Flair was great but Hogan was greater..
MCELVAINE6996 1 month ago
@Rucker1980 WWE dropped the ball w/ Flair in the early 90's. Flair vs Hogan should have been a guaranteed main event for WM8. You had the 2 most important names in the industy working for the same company. It was Vince's refusal to educate the fans on Flair, his refusal to acknowledge Flair's role in the rival company that killed Flair's momentum. As for the NWO, Flair wasn't overshadowed, he was BURIED. Big difference.
NaughtybyNaitcha 3 weeks ago
@NaughtybyNaitcha So you blame WWF for their fans not "knowing" Ric Flair - That`s a little bit cheap buddy!
By the way: Even WCW didn`t give a shit about the NWA belt at the beginning of the 90`s anymore - It was only called the "big golden belt" or "international championship" on WCW TV!
SuperJuliusC 3 weeks ago
@NaughtybyNaitcha And that`s because: At that time WCW still was a part of NWA and not NWA itself!
About one year later NWA was gone - So why should Vince have pushed the champion of fading away company on his TV program?!
Vince only hired Flair because Flair was willing to bring the title belt to Conneticut!
And that`s all - Without the belt Flair would have never been hired!
SuperJuliusC 3 weeks ago
@SuperJuliusC Actually Vince wanted to bring Flair in in 1988. Flair had been having problems w/ Dusty & was considering jumping ship. He had been talking to Vince & was very close to signing a contract. In the end, Flair chose to stay where he was. Good thing he did because Turner wouldn't have bought WCW w/o Flair.
NaughtybyNaitcha 3 weeks ago
@NaughtybyNaitcha Well here are some numbers that might interest you:
NWA: 44, 69, 45;
WCW: 26, 78, 28, 7, 0;
WWF: 77, 41;
Those numbers represent the days the majority of Ric Flair title reigns lasted (The "0" is the title he was given by Kevin Nash but then was awarded to Jeff Jarrett by WCW at the same day)!
So much about "huge draw"...
SuperJuliusC 3 weeks ago
@SuperJuliusC You're going out of your way to discredit Flair. What's the matter? Did he refuse to let you ride Space Mountain?
I happen to know that one of Flair's reigns lasted from November 1987 to February 1989. His next reign lasted from May 1989 to July 1990. Both reigns lasted over a year.
When you were doing your "research," did you happen to notice the politics at work? Eddie Graham pushing for Dusty to be champ. Fritz pushing for his sons. Flair's problems w/ Dusty & Jim Herd.

As far as in ring is concerned top performer. But most people i have heard talk about, say how bad he is behind the scenes. He has managed to fall out with a lot of people. The only people who he gets on this video who deserve it are Ed Ferrara, Vince Russo, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. The rest of them he is just boosting his ego by putting them down.

Of all the wrestling characters, Flair is among the most boring. Small, shit physique, crap wrestler, yellow hair, old looking, speech impediment, no stand out features. He bored me. There was nothing to hate or like. Used to tape WWF/WCW as a kid and would always fast forward when he came on. Will never understand how he made it. He must have had good contacts to get on and keep appearing. Hes a forgettable character.
He should stick to doing interviews for at least this is entertaining.

Rucker1980 1 month ago
@Rucker1980 They kept giving Flair title reign after title reign because Flair was a proven draw & he was reliable. Flair showed up ready to go & he usually had the best match on the card. The guys who took the belt from Flair were talented but the fans were behind them more when they were chasing the title, not when they actually held the title. Flair was such a fixture in WCW that when he left in '91, there were the "We want Flair" chants. Those chants continued until he returned in '93.
NaughtybyNaitcha 3 weeks ago
@NaughtybyNaitcha "They" were basically Dusty Rhodes Ole Anderson and Ric Flair himself!
By the way: You mentioned 1993 - Flair was the head booker at that time and when he heard that WCW was negotiating with Hogan he booked himself in the title reign which led to "Bash at the beach 1994".
SuperJuliusC 3 weeks ago
there was once a time when Flair was the epitome of class. When one was asked to name the classiest and stylish wrestlers ever, Flair would have to be on the list. Those days are long gone. Talking trash like he does should be something beneath a real legend. This is one of many reasons I have so much respect for Randy Savage--there's a guy who walked away when it was time and enjoyed a quiet life out of the spotlight leaving a legacy untarnished. Flair just makes me sad because he's a joke now.

Flair isn't "hating on everyone but him self. He is merely expressing his opinion. Just because a person freely expresses their opinion and doesn't say what the majority expects or desires automatically people conclude he is egotistical and only cares about him self. Not necessarily at all. And because people don't feel like developing rational comment/response backed with logic people hate on him or whoever that person is.

Flair drew money in the 80s, hands down, unquestionably, bar none. From 1989 til now, he has not drawn anything. 22 years of not drawing, and he's still wrestling. In the 90s, the NWO (Hall, Nash and Hogan) were drawing crowds like it was no one's business. Flair drew nothing in WCW when they first hit the scene. WCW never overtook WWF in the ratings war on his watch. He says Bret didn't wrestle the guys he wrestled. Well, that's because he was in the WWF. Duh! I wonder why Flair didn't mention

@reindeer84 In comparison to WWE, what is TNA? Even the most passionate TNA fan has to admit that TNA is lightyears away from being where WWE is. Foley has said it. Nash has said it. Flair has said it. Even a TNA mainstays like AJ Styles has said it. TNA wrestlers are just as talented as WWE wrestlers (more talented in the case of the women), but TNA needs to create an awareness of their product. They need to let the world know that they exist. Until they do, they'll continue to lag behind WWE.

@nomercy3000 Obviously you never paid attention to Ric when he was in his prime. He was the best overall performer. He had it all. Ring skills, mic skills, and stunning good looks.

He's larger than life and he can teach the young guys in the business how to get over.

(cont'd) Flair had to put other wrestlers over wherever he traveled. So, he got his ass kicked a lot and would squeeze out a win. The business changed in the USA with Hogan's rise and the new era of superhero characters. Bret Hart is a Hall of Famer and so is Ric Flair. I prefer Flair's style from his prime but respect both. Flair drew plenty of money when wrestling wasn't considered cool. But the fan base is 10 times bigger now (due to Hogan) so comparing Flair/Hart is apples/oranges
MrIce2290 2 months ago 11
It's so hard to compare the two because wrestling has changed so much. Back in the 70s and 80s, the NWA Champion defended the title around the world (Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Trinidad, etc) and throughout the USA. Young folks don't realize that Flair was HUGE around the world. 30-40,000 seat stadiums sold out regularly with 10,000 people rioting outside the stadium because they couldn't get in. Matches were considered legit competition to fans in other countries in those days.

@mcdrunkin Yes. New Japan Wrestling and WCW co-sponsored an event in North Korea over two days that drew over 300,000 fans. Flair vs. Inoki was the main event. The crowd estimate was around 190,000 for that match. To be fair, it was North Korea so who knows the true number but it was huge. Flair was considered the #1 legend of the West. Inoki was the #1 legend in Asia. Hogan was also huge in Asia but Flair was considered the more "legit" wrestler since the event was promoted as "real"
