  • @zeospark9715
    @zeospark9715 2 роки тому +47

    I'll be brutally honest: I lost a lot of respect for Flair over the years due to all of the stuff he has been doing and, of course, that Dark Side of the Ring that painted him in a very negative light. He had an attitude where he felt like WWE wasn't treating his daugther right (even though she has a shit ton of accomplishments already) and the fact he made himself seem like a big deal that AEW was going to sign him. And this retirement/last match was ruined by the fact he had an AWESOME send off back when Michaels ended his career. He got divorced like 4+ times, got kicked out of bars, the list of the dumb things he has done in real life goes on and on. However, I will still respect the man that has been putting on classics for a long time. His legendary matches with the likes of Dusty Rhodes, being one of the Four Horsemen, being part of Evolution, 16 time world champion a streak that hopefully no one will break (I highly doubt Cena would return to the title picture). Flair has done it all in the ring that wrestlers these days even hope to dream about doing. Dude deserves the respect for being a wrestling legend.

    I'm 48yrs old now and I still remember being able to curl up into a ball and watch wrestling. All the stars that I saw growing up and wrestling was cool to see and even more so when I say I remember that.
    WCW was on Saturday afternoons at 12 o'clock. Ric Flair led the 4 Horseman, Ric, Arnd Anderson, Sid Vicious and Lex Lugar. Talk about a freaking team!!! But out of all the wrestlers on WCW at the time, I had my favorites. Ric, Sid, Lex and Sting!!! These were the guys I looked forward in seeing. It took a while before I found out why Ric Flair never wrestled Hulk Hogan back then. This was back in the 80s.
    WWF. Wow, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, One Man Gang, Big John Studd, Hot Rod Mr. Piper and this is can go on and on. I knew One Man Gang or should I say Mr. George Grey. His daughter bowled at Metro Bowl back in the day. Then he would go and hang out at Greenway Ballard's at night. It should be pushing around 65yrs old now. He is a nice guy and loved to stick to himself.
    But when it came to wrestling, I had my favorites just like everyone else and who would lead the pack, Hulk Hogan. As a kid, Hulk Hogan knew how to turn the kids for him. No other wrestler that I know of back then got more scene time. He was the business and that was it. I remember the Slam Heard around the world. I remember when Hulk lost to the Ultimate Warrior. Man that made me sick to my stomach and to find out that he was going to be the new face of the WWF.
    Anyway this is for everyone that grew up like I did. Wrestling was awesome and who ever tried to find out if the figure 4 really hurt or not, we found out real quick it did!!! LMAO!!! My best friends mom was so mad at me. I think we were like 10 years old when we did this. Anyway I wish you all the best and please take care.

That alone says something, that goes to show if a person likes their job, they will work forever. I've never been a flair fan, however gotta give props when props is due. Thanks flair for being one of the icons that helped made wrestling what it is today. One word LEGEND...

    His entry into the wwf was legendary. The build up from the million dollar man and flairs taunting. And then was the last man standing in the royal rumble. Soooo good.
    Woooo.
    Not many wrestlers can come close. Shawn Michaels comes to mind.

    Ric Flair recently "wrestled" his very last match and relied on his classic backhand "chops" to the chest, as well as a few running clotheslines and punch flurries. Flair was the "punching bag" for a while in the match, only for his partner to come in and save the day. This match officially retired Flair as a wrestler.

    [especially high impact bump]
    He doesn't necessarily land flat on hys back , its more-so to the side of the hip/bottom part of the back ...
    I assume He took the bumps that way because of how the airplane crash altered his body.
