they could have at least ironed the table cloth. Ric obviously had low dining standards at this time.

funny to see this when Biscoff was just an announcer, before he became a big part of the show, before Flair ended up hating Biscoff's guts!

It's funny how people can call Eric a "tool" through Computer text and a youtube video, but I bet don't and WON'T have the audacity to say it in his face. Two words.....MARTIAL ARTS! This man majors in that style of fighting. And the three people who said it, is not even respecting him. I bet they're Cena Marks.

@captaint1000 Yes. He didn't want to lose him. WWF's ratings were high during the time that Flair was there. Ted Turner must have really sweetened the deal for Flair to go back. to WCW.

@MyNephewIsTough Didn't Vince try all he could to keep him from jumping ship?

[MyNephewIsTough]

@captaint1000 Long story short, Flair and WCW had a pretty bad fall out in 1991 and they basically told Flair that WWF would never hire him, and even if they did, they would make him look like a fool, just like they did with Dusty Rhodes a few years earlier. Not only did Vince hire Flair and book him as a major heel, but he put the world title on him, twice. Fast forward to 1993. WCW is in trouble and needed Flair back way more than Flair ever needed them So, they brought him back.

[captaint1000]

Why did Ric leave WWF in 93 to go back to WCW??

[catdaddy2006]

@tonshaad1230 I hate Cena....as a matter of fact I have hated pro wrestling since the moronic so called attitude era that taught 8 year old kids how to flip off people and learn what poon tang pie is and let's not forget the 8 year olds doing the crotch chop .I have karate trophies taller than Eric and will money back guarantee I could make him scream like a little bitch...no problem.

@tonshaad1230, I never said that Bischoff didn't make the company extremely successful at one point. From '96 to '98, it was the #1 wrestling company. But greed went to Bischoff's head and he became very selfish. He tried to separate people in order to create drama and turmoil. What he did to Flair was absolutely disgraceful! He tried to utterly embarrass a man who had put the company on his back on many occasions. WCW probably wouldn't have existed in the 90's without Flair's contribution.

@MetalheadJay78

Try to ruin lives? Yeah cause Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, older NWA superstars/legends in the WCW were known to being NON-political in wrestling ~_~. WCW wasn't prosperous so don't make up that lie. It only got good again during the '96 era. And the people who would spit in his face would be just as disgusting and low as they assume Eric to be.

[MetalheadJay78]

@tonshaad1230, I know many that could care less about Bischoff being skilled in the Martial Arts. This guy is a scumbag that tried to ruin lives and help put a once prosperous company out of business. I know many that would have no problem getting up in his face and telling him exactly what they think of him. Some spitting might be involved too.

[MetalheadJay78]

Actually, 1993 was a good year for Flair. He had a very memorable and great feud with Ric Rude. And he won the World title(called international) from Windham in July and then beat Vader(for the World title) in a very emotional and dramatic match at Starrcade in Charlotte(his home town). The screwing began when Hogan arrived in mid 1994. Ironically, again it was Flair who helped convince Hogan to join WCW. Flair probably helped the company succeed more than anyone and look what happened.

[MetalheadJay78]

Yeah, this is before Bischoff turned into a jerk and tried ruin lives(Flair's included). Ironically, it was Flair who helped him get his job!
