What in the hell is Black Bart talking about? He keeps contradicting himself and is possibly the most discursive conversationalist I’ve seen in theses shoot videos! He must have had a bit too much Moonshine before his interview.
She sure did act like she really liked Ric Flair. When the guy asked her about Ric she just had the biggest smile on her face like she was thinking of Space Mountain or something.....lol
Gotta say, after listening to Greg valentine s stories, I am more appreciative of his work. Greg the hammer is now in my top ten wrestlers of all time, and not ranked 10th.
Lex is great, he always puts over all these guys that do never do anything but shit on him when asked about lex. For someone so apparently full of themselves and arrogant he’s certainly either born again or just misunderstood. He always mentions how the other stars made him what he was.
he admits himself in some other interviews and shoots that he didnt respect the industry and people back in the wcw days and when he started out i think people like Bishoff, Savage, Hart, Piper and others use to say that, but he's defiantly alot better now as a person.
He was pushed hard and fast because of his amazing body and at first, he didn't know how to wrestle properly. You have to trust the other guy with literally your life in this business and lex didn't understand that you have to really look out for the guy doing a job for you. Later in life, lexx really got humbled and I couldn't be prouder of the emotional progress he has made. The tradegy of miss Elizabeth and his crippling injuries....he could have been another tale of woe in the industry, but he tries to warn people about drugs and alcohol and he is very giving of his time to fans.
Let's All Pray To God ,. That The Nature Boy Ric Flair,. Is Victorious In his Last Pro Wrestling Match. My Cool GrandDad / I Would Be Watching WCW On Cable TV. Ric , Is Very Entertaining .
I just watched the match that Greg Valentine was talking about,when he broke Flair’s nose with the cane. It wasn’t against Ole and Blackjack,it was against Jimmy Snuka and the Iron Sheik.
Why is Manny so upset with or so rubbed the wrong way by Flair? Life bro if you don't like Flair, if you think their were better champions, if you think he did this, that, or the other wrong i completely understand. Everyone is going to have different opinions of someone based on their own personal experiences but bro you just called Ric Flair, "the worst champion of all time." When you say that you're saying that Vince Russo was a better champion. You're saying that David Arquette was a better champion. I mean during this same time WCW had multiple champs that only had the belt for like 1 day lol, and is it wasn't 1 day then it was like 4. I mean they made The Giant aka Big Show after less than a handful is matches and he had no idea what to do other than pray that he didn't hurt anyone lol.... how in God's name can Flair be worse than the writer, the b movie actor, and the guy who's only here because he's big and he has less experience than most of the kids setting up the ring? Lololol 😅😅😅
people never realize just how much fame changes people, one minute you are eating spam sandwiches and counting change to get to the next match and the next thing you know women are throwing their panties at you on the way back to the dressing room. It takes alot of character to stay humble and not lose sight of who you really are. Not to mention the excesses you see around you and your buddies are all doing drugs and drinking and the women. I met Michael PS Hayes in the Dallas airport, i was 14 at the time so this was around 1985. I was in there playing street fighter on my way home for the Christmas Holidays and this person said, "hey man can i play you ?", i looked up and it was Hayes, he was really cool and played a game or two with me and signed a napkin i had at the time. He did not have to do that but he made a fan for life, great guy with a huge heart. Bless you Michael Hayes for being a bigger then life role model to a 14 year old boy!
You look at flairs early years it wasnt the same match all the time,that was in his later years I been watching him since I was 7 ,8 years old he wasnt doing that same match for 2 decades at the end maybe so but were talking about a long career! He definitely took care himself stayed healthy and fit ,he outlasted 90% of them! In my opinion best of all time
I agree 💯%. Back in the early days Ric didn't have the same matches every night.....but anyways people want to say Ric Flair had the same matches every night well I can say that Hulk Hugan pretty much had the same matches every night he would always point that big finger at you and shake it and the opponent would hit Hulk Hogan 5 or 6 times and wouldn't even hurt Hogan and then Hogan would do the big leg drop it was the same moves over and over. And really Hogan never really wrestled in his matches as long as Ric Flair did ...but whatever people gonna say anything.
I couldn’t understand a single thing that he was talking about! Either he drank a lot of moonshine before the interview or he’s had one too many chair shots to the head. Maybe he was just born with a brain cell deficiency. It could be all three. Regardless, he is the most discursive conversationalist I’ve ever seen in these shoot interviews.
I respect Flair but after hearing some wrestlers dump on him, I can look back and see a few things. Flair had the same matches all the time as in his spots. back in the territory days you could get away with it but later on in the WWF/WWE/TNA it was the same match. now his promo's where out of this world. those promos in Mid Atlantic and Crocket where awesome!
What people don't seem to understand 😒 is this era sucks compared to the late 80's hell even that shit McMahon was pushing from 1993 to 1996 was better then the shit they offer now. Flair, Dusty, Arn, Sting, Hart, Michaels all were wrestling legends even back then in their primes. These shit today is why less and less people watch they don't make stars anymore and they run stupid BS stuff.
Doug Gilbert is so bitter and he just sounds jealous AF It's probably because no one knows who he is lol He even throws shade on Sting and nobody has a bad word to say about Sting even before he got saved
I met Ric Flair in an airport. He impressed me as a very intelligent, articulate, and gracious person. I know he has a reputation as a party animal and heavy drinker, but I'm not exactly an angel so I never held that against him. 🥳🍺
I heard Flair is a racist POS (Ask Teddy Long). I hope it's not true because I always respected Flair's work ethic but if Ric is a slimeball human being, then that's sad, man.
So black Bart is doing his interview in his live-in camper with his favorite camo chair, shirt and hat.......along with his deer blanket. If that doesn't scream success enough, he added his beloved butterfinger headrest for good measure.
Even Hogan has gone on record as declaring Flair the GOAT. Flair and Hogan have two different but distinct legacies. Flair lived and breathed the business in a way that Hogan or anyone else has ever come close to.
Ric Flair is the king of wrestling just like Elvis Presley is the king of Rock and Roll. Ric Flair is and always will be the #1 Best wrestler to ever live.
Do something on one of the most underrated wrestlers ever buzz sawyer who in my opinion had some great great matches with roddy piper and kevin Sullivan buzz was definitely the most underrated wrestler ever
@Wrestling content buzz would beat the snot outta Roman in the ring and out of the ring... Do you even know who buzz Sawyer is?? I'd guess not mentioning a name like Roman reighns..
@Wrestling content and I don't care enough about Roman to spell his last name right... He is a low talent low grade wrestler.. who if not for family wouldn't even have a job...
@Wrestling content have you ever wrestled?? Who trained you what years did you wrestle?? C'mon what makes your opinion the only correct one gotta be some experience there in order for you to think your right...
@Wrestling content yeah when it comes to wrestling I'd rather be stuck in the past than the crap they have today over scripted bullshit McMahon is destroying the sport on purpose he has become hateful towards the sport that built his wealth. That was his intention when he took the company public to destroy wrestling and jam as much money in his pockets as he could before he set it on fire. Not one wrestler from the 70's 80's and 90's think that there is any talent in wrestling today they are right there isn't Orton and Cena are the last 2 and they are being treated like jokes and they are allowing it.
He had a bad reputation for just up and splitting with no notice given that’s what he did when him and ride. Had the belts in WCW or whatever it was at that time GCW ?
And dont forget the classic "I'm the Best thing going today!" "If you dont like it? You'd better learn to love it!" And of course "When the Marquis outside says Ric Flair? You know you're going to see the best Wrestler in the World!!"
Flair is nothing more then a lime light hog I hate flair have always hated flair he needs to go into a senior citizen home and take his Geritol . Idk how he could ever be considered the best all he had was a figure 4 and a chop bash me all you want but flair sucks !!
@@williamchick Yea he's overrated for sure and most of his great sayings were not his originally. One thing he was and is great at is selling. The delayed face-plant is the best thing ever. 😂
@@williamchick love him or hate him, he lived his gimmick to the fullest. And he could draw love or heat as good or better than anybody else in the buisness. He was the gimmick.
Ric Flair is a class act period, he was big on comoradary between the boys. Didnt matter if you were midcard or top didn't matter Ric always wanted to include everyone, he treated everyone with respect if you were one of the boys! Nowadays its a shadow of what it used to be, the boys don't even travel together really anymore, nobody watches each others match they are backstage playing PS4 or Xbox or they shower and get the hell out of there once their spot is over, not critiscm or helping out other guys or girls on what they could do different or what looked good and they should roll with no those days are gone
Most people, as they age, just look older, more worn out, and more broken down. There are a few people, however, where as they age they just look more like a grizzled hard-ass and they just look like those extra years have just taught them more ways to rip someone apart. Sid is one of those lucky few.
I was thinking about these wrestling shoot interviews, about wrestlers from years and years ago. And how interesting they are, and I thought to myself. Why is that? I think I might have the answer, these shoot interviews are interesting in the same way as you see old Beetle interviews about each other. And bands similar to that, they’re shoot interviews in the same right. Could that possibly be why we find them so interesting? I mean, think of the subjects. A name like Ric Flair in the wrestling community is a name like John Lennon when you think of iconic names in Music. Well, maybe Ringo. But still, two iconic names. Ric Flair. Ringo.
Bitter comments from a has been who never did much with his career. WCW died because of Flair? LOL. WCW was burying Flair when they started to go downhill. Two things killed WCW: 1) never building up the young talent that they had (Austin, Jericho, and others...were in WCW but made it big in WWE); 2) the ran the NWO angle way too long and fans got bored.
@@otherstar1 like when flair was holding back when he held the power in wcw. Wrestling the same spots walking around naked in his robe whipping out his dick being an embarrassment to himself his family and the business.
What's weird about Manny Fernandez is you have to specify which one. There are a Professional Journalist, A Hockey Player, and a member of The 1972 Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins who go by that name. Very ironically the Pro Wrestler Manny Fernandez feuded very violently in The AWA with Wahoo McDaniel who made a name for himself in The AFL days with the selfsame Dolphins before he became a Pro Wrestler!🤔😂🎤🏒🏈📰🐬🤼♂️B.W.
"Hes a lyin two-faced dog....thats a shoot" 😂 i will say the 3 wrestlers i always wanted to sit and have story time with were always Flair, Randy Savage and Taker. I'll never get that with Randy but hey the other 2 could happen one day (hopefully sooner than later in Flair's case).
A few of the biggest things I’ve learned from these shoot interviews- Hogan, Flair and Russo are the biggest liars in wrestling and Black Bart drinks too much moonshine! Did anyone understand what the hell he was talking about?
@Vince Williams Good luck! I speak hillbilly ( half of my family is from the Appalachian Mountain in Kentucky) and I can’t decipher a damn thing he’s saying.
@Vince Williams Lol. My parents drug me to bars when I was a kid too! My dad is a singer songwriter and played in a Bluegrass band. I was in bars until the sun came up when I was a kid! Nice to find someone that’s been through the same thing. My dad made some moonshine and got so jacked up the first time he drank it he was out in the snow in his underwear calling pigs!
@@macdaddy1149 some hilarious shit right here 🤣😂 also lol sorry I’m still laughing and imagining this. Also to be in bars until sunup as a kid sounds cool, especially if it was like a blues bar that had seriously good music. Hell yeah I could dig it. Back then no one would mess with you knowing who you were etc
All i got was some guy died and he thought he already died 10 yrs before but he didnt and Bart, the dead guy and someone else were supposed to get a show on Fox but Flair went to Ted Turner and said if they got a show he'd leave so basically Flair screwed them over. And the next thing i understood was "He aint my friend because I'll never forget what he did but hes my work companion." Lol yea thats about all i got 😂
Mac Daddy: Sounds like your Daddy and the late great Dick Murdoch would've gotten along very well. "Captain Redneck" himself cut a Classic unparalleled Promo in the frosty climes for Jim Cornette's Company in Knoxville, Tennessee!😂🎤🎼🎸🌬❄⛰🤼♂️B.W.
Bam bam talked junk about Ric Flair not growing up but yet bam bam never grow up either cause he died from his his carelessness of drugs and not growing up.....but hey I'm not judging bam bam did that.
@@matthewvarnam4302 Bam Bam was a great big guy who was agile and a great wrestler, I cannot judge him for his actions out of the ring, but the last major thing he was remembered for was getting seriously burned saving life's?, Think he also had a lot of serious injuries which contributed to his issues he had. As for talking trash, he didn't, he told Flair to grow up which is exactly right, Flashing your knob whilst pissed up etc.
Riki Johnson, who was Ashley's ex-husband, beat the holy hell out of the Nature Boy in an altercation, leaving him bloody and with a huge black eye. Ashley got arrested following her father's horrific beatdown.
Which one? Because there was a "Gashouse" Doug Gilbert who enjoyed WWWF Undercard success in The Sixties in addition to Doug Gilbert, Eddie's brother, who appeared frequently in The USWA years of Memphis and very early on in the infancy of ECW. And Eddie's Brother Doug appeared in one "Royal Rumble" in "The Attitude Era."🤔🎤🎼🎸🤼♂️B.W.
Saw Flair vs Luger in Greensboro at Wreslewar and I got to meet him at a mobile home convention my Dad helped put together. The only thing better than watching Flair work was meeting him in real life. He was bigger than life! GOAT
He’s a good guy underneath. I met him at the Hilton hotel in Harrisburg Pennsylvania after they did the show at Hershey Park ArenaI think it was a Saturday Nights Main Event. I don’t remember who he wrestled that night... it might’ve been Savage ... Regardless, I walked up to him and introduced myself and asked him how long he had been wrestling. He initially asked me if I was writing a book and I turned my back on him and walked over and watched the band on stage. He eventually walked up to me with a beer and handed it to me and started a conversation. I don’t think he was trying to be cocky or arrogant, I just think he was trying to keep up his heel appearance in the face of a wrestling fan. After he talked to me and realized I was going to Wrestling school at the time, we had a nice conversation. He was very cordial and when I didn’t realize at the time is when I went up to him he was standing right next to Ted Dibiase, and I didn’t even recognize it and then when I woke up the next day I realized who it was and I felt horrible. Regardless, it was still that kind of time in the industry where everybody thought it was real. After he realized that I was getting into the business, he lightened up and talked to me for a bit. It was a nice night. Something I’ll never forget. That was like 1992 or something. Whenever he was in WWF. What I hear, he very often will walk into a bar and buy the entire bar drinks all night. Seems like a very genuine guy, especially now that the business has been exposed.
Manny is full of shit! Flair would draw a crowd to this very day,jealousy is a ugly thing manny! Ric Flair is the goat of wrestleing without a dought! The few wrestlers that do talk down on flair usually are the ones that are jealous think he got more attention because he kissed ass truth is he out worked them,he was a all around entertainer ,mic ,ring ,he did it all and did it for years plus the 4 horsemen what else can I say
Sid said he was a main eventer and drew more $$$ than Ric Flair. LMAO !!!! Name 1 person that wrestled main event more matches than Flair ........Rhodes wasnt always in main event.....Hogan didnt wrestle near as often as Flair.
I agree with you in terms of 80s and 90s wrestling history, but The Undertaker came and dominated the early 90s WWF into 3 nearly 4 decades. It looks like Roman R. is getting his run now. If WWE can’t find the next big Star; possibly Austin Theory. Roman might break the Main Event record. Time will tell.
Yes he did. Ric Flair broke his back in 3 different places in Wilmington North Carolina and that's why he always did the Flair flop. I lived 30 minutes away from Wilmington N.C. I was born in New Hanover County city of Wilmington so yeah I know for a fact that this happened.... Greg Valentine lied about Ric Flair never broke his back. I guess he was upset that Ric was a bigger draw for money and not himself.
Well really Ric Flair has said that he never had to work a day in his life cause hid mom and dad left him so much money well when he became Ric Flair that we all know and love he develop this high maintenance of lifestyle and being divorced 4 or 5 times well all of that would make a man go broke very fast....if he had never gotten divorced and actually lived that lifestyle outside of the ring he wouldn't be broke.......but anyways Ric Flair is doing pretty good now plus he's got a clothing line out and another thing called The Ric Flair drip so the man is making money again.
So much sour grapes and obvious jealousy. First off, Flair is my favorite wrestler; as a fan since 1983 at 8 yrs old it was seeing Flair on syndicated TV & then TBS that made me see the difference between NWA/WCW and WWF/E. As a wrestler he's peerless. But as a human being he hasn't done his legacy any favors. You have to make that separate assessment if you're really going to pass judgement on the man. What really pisses me off is that stock "he had the same match every night" bullshit. EVERYONE has things they do EVERY match. With Flair being on top for so long his stuff is just more familiar to more people, it was seen by more generations of fans. And I beg you to watch a gew in matches in a row of Harley Race, Terry Funk, Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, etc. They ALL had set spots & moves they used every match. Difference being Harley Race's kneelift wasn't as memorable as Flair's slam off the top.
Black Bart lol! What a legend. Listening to him is painful though. "yeah see..yeah see...I....I....I.. yeah know.....what....what....what I saw...." Lolol
black bart looks like he is living in a storage building or something similar. look at all the junk sitting around. what sort of money do you think he made in his prime?
Ric Flair will always be the measuring stick for World Champions. But as time passes he will fade with time. Just like Lou Thez, Dorsey Funk jr., Jack Brisco, Bruno, Harley, Billy, Bob, The Iron Shiek. They’ll all be lost to time. But for those who know and were there Ric Flair was always worth the price of admission.

You gotta love George South.... he was really good. Seems like a great guy.
I've met and spoke with George and his wife many times and He is genuinely a good guy, He's still huge here in the Carolina's
Black Bart makes me want to call and make an appointment with my dentist for no good reason
Let that old man be 😂
Sherri seemed like she was such sweetheart. RIP!

His attitude changed when he became crippled. Funny how that happens. He was an ego maniac and treated fans like shit.
Ric Flair has told may stories about Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race and Wahoo McDaniel how they help bring him up by putting Ric over.
Lex Luger! He was my favorite before tatanka and then Austin.
Let's All Pray To God ,. That The Nature Boy Ric Flair,. Is Victorious In his Last Pro Wrestling Match. My Cool GrandDad / I Would Be Watching WCW On Cable TV. Ric , Is Very Entertaining .
I just watched the match that Greg Valentine was talking about,when he broke Flair’s nose with the cane. It wasn’t against Ole and Blackjack,it was against Jimmy Snuka and the Iron Sheik.
He turned it into money funny I was just watching that and just watching the Morton and flair 31 min match on youtube

Vader was a great Man but also a very underrated star of the 90's
Sherri was such a sweetheart. I don't think I've ever heard her say anything negative about anyone. Sleep well
Never heard anyone say a single bad thing about her either. RIP.
With all the scumbags she was surrounded by, it just means she was liar. A nice liar.
people never realize just how much fame changes people, one minute you are eating spam sandwiches and counting change to get to the next match and the next thing you know women are throwing their panties at you on the way back to the dressing room. It takes alot of character to stay humble and not lose sight of who you really are. Not to mention the excesses you see around you and your buddies are all doing drugs and drinking and the women.

I'll pass on kissing Black Bart on the lips. LOL
I'll pass on hearing any shoot interveiw he does.
He ain't big owwwn book Learnin..
Black Bart gives a good interview, but I seriously doubt that fox wanted to do a sitcom based on a promo
Any guy that says, rasslyn has those kind of pearls. Lol
Greg the hammer had me rolling 🤣😂… so much RIP in this video sighs.
Never apperciated valentine growing up but after watching his interviews i wish i had. He is so laid back and full of stories
Greg the hammer valentine great villan lol
You would think Bart would tell his family to stfu while he was doing the interview
I couldn’t understand a single thing that he was talking about! Either he drank a lot of moonshine before the interview or he’s had one too many chair shots to the head. Maybe he was just born with a brain cell deficiency. It could be all three. Regardless, he is the most discursive conversationalist I’ve ever seen in these shoot interviews.
And he rates himself with Ric Flair as a talker? That was fn PAINFUL.
I respect Flair but after hearing some wrestlers dump on him, I can look back and see a few things. Flair had the same matches all the time as in his spots. back in the territory days you could get away with it but later on in the WWF/WWE/TNA it was the same match. now his promo's where out of this world. those promos in Mid Atlantic and Crocket where awesome!
"Lex, who are the Four Horsemen?"
"I DON'T KNOWWWWWW!"
I wanna see what 9am in the evening looks like
Lol I didn't catch that! Lol
These guys are funny
Maybe he's Australian....🤔
Take 8 soma like Kevin nash
Manny Fernandez is a goof.
Did Black Bart really say he put himself right up there with Flair… I needed a good laugh today!
And he had the NWA World Title which never won. But this is the same guy that said Dusty wanted him to be the Undertaker. Very entertaining tales.
@@BiggPoppaBurks Wild
He was going to be a sitcom star 😂
What people don't seem to understand 😒 is this era sucks compared to the late 80's hell even that shit McMahon was pushing from 1993 to 1996 was better then the shit they offer now. Flair, Dusty, Arn, Sting, Hart, Michaels all were wrestling legends even back then in their primes. These shit today is why less and less people watch they don't make stars anymore and they run stupid BS stuff.
Hammer was one of my favorite
Doug Gilbert is so bitter and he just sounds jealous AF
It's probably because no one knows who he is lol
He even throws shade on Sting and nobody has a bad word to say about Sting even before he got saved
Stevie Ray, what a bloke! diamond fella.

I hope it's not true because I always respected Flair's work ethic but if Ric is a slimeball human being, then that's sad, man.
So black Bart is doing his interview in his live-in camper with his favorite camo chair, shirt and hat.......along with his deer blanket. If that doesn't scream success enough, he added his beloved butterfinger headrest for good measure.
He does look out of place without his tuxedo. Fortunately his eloquence still prevails...🎩
@SoupErrScar that comment is from two years ago. Nice comeback 2 years later - bahahahahaha, you're really on top of things, aren't ya?
Flair was a real champion, all I have is two words to describe him, THE GOAT 🐐!
Nope number two, it’s just the way it is Brother!
Even Hogan has gone on record as declaring Flair the GOAT. Flair and Hogan have two different but distinct legacies. Flair lived and breathed the business in a way that Hogan or anyone else has ever come close to.
Ric Flair is the king of wrestling just like Elvis Presley is the king of Rock and Roll.
Ric Flair is and always will be the #1 Best wrestler to ever live.
Valentine was awesome, and so was his Dad.
This is best video I ever watched about Ric and he not even in it 😂
"Diamonds are forever......and so is Ric Flair"

Funny hearing Manny Fernandez calling Flair out. Manny could not draw a Dime in any Territory
Manny the raging bull?
He had a bad reputation for just up and splitting with no notice given that’s what he did when him and ride. Had the belts in WCW or whatever it was at that time GCW ?

And dont forget the classic "I'm the Best thing going today!" "If you dont like it? You'd better learn to love it!" And of course "When the Marquis outside says Ric Flair? You know you're going to see the best Wrestler in the World!!"
Flair is nothing more then a lime light hog I hate flair have always hated flair he needs to go into a senior citizen home and take his Geritol . Idk how he could ever be considered the best all he had was a figure 4 and a chop bash me all you want but flair sucks !!
@@williamchick Yea he's overrated for sure and most of his great sayings were not his originally. One thing he was and is great at is selling. The delayed face-plant is the best thing ever. 😂
@@williamchick love him or hate him, he lived his gimmick to the fullest.
And he could draw love or heat as good or better than anybody else in the buisness.
He was the gimmick.
Ric Flair is a class act period, he was big on comoradary between the boys. Didnt matter if you were midcard or top didn't matter Ric always wanted to include everyone, he treated everyone with respect if you were one of the boys! Nowadays its a shadow of what it used to be, the boys don't even travel together really anymore, nobody watches each others match they are backstage playing PS4 or Xbox or they shower and get the hell out of there once their spot is over, not critiscm or helping out other guys or girls on what they could do different or what looked good and they should roll with no those days are gone
Hi Ric!
Most people, as they age, just look older, more worn out, and more broken down. There are a few people, however, where as they age they just look more like a grizzled hard-ass and they just look like those extra years have just taught them more ways to rip someone apart. Sid is one of those lucky few.
I was thinking about these wrestling shoot interviews, about wrestlers from years and years ago. And how interesting they are, and I thought to myself. Why is that? I think I might have the answer, these shoot interviews are interesting in the same way as you see old Beetle interviews about each other. And bands similar to that, they’re shoot interviews in the same right. Could that possibly be why we find them so interesting? I mean, think of the subjects. A name like Ric Flair in the wrestling community is a name like John Lennon when you think of iconic names in Music. Well, maybe Ringo. But still, two iconic names. Ric Flair. Ringo.

Manny Fernandez is full of salt.
Bitter comments from a has been who never did much with his career. WCW died because of Flair? LOL. WCW was burying Flair when they started to go downhill. Two things killed WCW: 1) never building up the young talent that they had (Austin, Jericho, and others...were in WCW but made it big in WWE); 2) the ran the NWO angle way too long and fans got bored.
@@otherstar1 like when flair was holding back when he held the power in wcw. Wrestling the same spots walking around naked in his robe whipping out his dick being an embarrassment to himself his family and the business.

What's weird about Manny Fernandez is you have to specify which one. There are a Professional Journalist, A Hockey Player, and a member of The 1972 Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins who go by that name. Very ironically the Pro Wrestler Manny Fernandez feuded very violently in The AWA with Wahoo McDaniel who made a name for himself in The AFL days with the selfsame Dolphins before he became a Pro Wrestler!🤔😂🎤🏒🏈📰🐬🤼♂️B.W.
"Hes a lyin two-faced dog....thats a shoot" 😂 i will say the 3 wrestlers i always wanted to sit and have story time with were always Flair, Randy Savage and Taker. I'll never get that with Randy but hey the other 2 could happen one day (hopefully sooner than later in Flair's case).
How do you leave out the Stinger!???🤷♂️🤦♂️
You look up Champion in the Dictionary there would be a picture of Ric Flair
Stop that, you’re going to make Flair cry for the 5th time today if he reads this.
30:25/ anyone thats seen vintage FLAIR promos... I SPENT MORE MONEY ON SPILT LIQUOR THEN YOU MAKE!!
Bambam is definitely down with ICP. Dude is a perfect image of a jugalo 😂
Hey him and Andre the Giant went to the Dentist twice a year to get a Haircut ✂️
Bart says he can speak as good as Flair. This guy is oblivious
lol.....yeah that guy couldn't even speak right in this interview.
Listen to Pat Tanaka.. he actually sounds like Ric Flair
A few of the biggest things I’ve learned from these shoot interviews-
Hogan, Flair and Russo are the biggest liars in wrestling and Black Bart drinks too much moonshine! Did anyone understand what the hell he was talking about?
@Vince Williams
Good luck! I speak hillbilly ( half of my family is from the Appalachian Mountain in Kentucky) and I can’t decipher a damn thing he’s saying.
@Vince Williams
Lol. My parents drug me to bars when I was a kid too! My dad is a singer songwriter and played in a Bluegrass band. I was in bars until the sun came up when I was a kid! Nice to find someone that’s been through the same thing. My dad made some moonshine and got so jacked up the first time he drank it he was out in the snow in his underwear calling pigs!
@@macdaddy1149 some hilarious shit right here 🤣😂 also lol sorry I’m still laughing and imagining this. Also to be in bars until sunup as a kid sounds cool, especially if it was like a blues bar that had seriously good music. Hell yeah I could dig it. Back then no one would mess with you knowing who you were etc
All i got was some guy died and he thought he already died 10 yrs before but he didnt and Bart, the dead guy and someone else were supposed to get a show on Fox but Flair went to Ted Turner and said if they got a show he'd leave so basically Flair screwed them over. And the next thing i understood was "He aint my friend because I'll never forget what he did but hes my work companion." Lol yea thats about all i got 😂
Mac Daddy: Sounds like your Daddy and the late great Dick Murdoch would've gotten along very well. "Captain Redneck" himself cut a Classic unparalleled Promo in the frosty climes for Jim Cornette's Company in Knoxville, Tennessee!😂🎤🎼🎸🌬❄⛰🤼♂️B.W.
He is undoubtedly one of the the best personalities but I have never been a fan of his actual matches.
You guys should do a video of how arn Anderson is in real life.

@@bossmann6358 true tho

Well I do
The number of lower card guys think they were bigger than they were impresses me. Can't say that ego doesn't exist in wrestling.
I think it’s hearing a crowd chant for you that’s a massive potent drug that enchants people for life
The fact we are STILL talkin' about Ric Flair 40 f'n years after he started shows how great he was.
I think the only person who might match that is the Undertaker, since a persona like his is timeless.
Jesse Ventura seems like a parody of himself at this point.
Whole new respect for Greg Valentine!
I could sit and talk to Black Bart for hours. Love hearing his stories.
Manny Fernandez is so bitter.
Love Bam Bam, legendary bigman!!
Bam bam talked junk about Ric Flair not growing up but yet bam bam never grow up either cause he died from his his carelessness of drugs and not growing up.....but hey I'm not judging bam bam did that.
@@matthewvarnam4302 Bam Bam was a great big guy who was agile and a great wrestler, I cannot judge him for his actions out of the ring, but the last major thing he was remembered for was getting seriously burned saving life's?, Think he also had a lot of serious injuries which contributed to his issues he had. As for talking trash, he didn't, he told Flair to grow up which is exactly right, Flashing your knob whilst pissed up etc.
what is Manny Fernandez referring to when he mentions Flair getting beat up by a 20-yr old guy ?
Randy Orton
Riki Johnson, who was Ashley's ex-husband, beat the holy hell out of the Nature Boy in an altercation, leaving him bloody and with a huge black eye. Ashley got arrested following her father's horrific beatdown.
That's what it was Ashleys ex
...not Randy Orton !!
He told me he had 143 speeding tickets hahaha holy shit
Did Doug Gilbert ever accomplish anything outside Memphis?
no
He has accomplished looking like Pugsly from the Addams Family LOL dude looks like a j-brone straight up
Which one? Because there was a "Gashouse" Doug Gilbert who enjoyed WWWF Undercard success in The Sixties in addition to Doug Gilbert, Eddie's brother, who appeared frequently in The USWA years of Memphis and very early on in the infancy of ECW. And Eddie's Brother Doug appeared in one "Royal Rumble" in "The Attitude Era."🤔🎤🎼🎸🤼♂️B.W.
Man I love this channel
Black bart needs to cut back on the moonshine. Lol
Saw Flair vs Luger in Greensboro at Wreslewar and I got to meet him at a mobile home convention my Dad helped put together. The only thing better than watching Flair work was meeting him in real life. He was bigger than life! GOAT
Yeah he’s the GOAT
If they called Manny Fernandez Cemento it's not because of his punches it's because of his brain, he's a blockhead'
He’s a good guy underneath. I met him at the Hilton hotel in Harrisburg Pennsylvania after they did the show at Hershey Park ArenaI think it was a Saturday Nights Main Event. I don’t remember who he wrestled that night... it might’ve been Savage ... Regardless, I walked up to him and introduced myself and asked him how long he had been wrestling. He initially asked me if I was writing a book and I turned my back on him and walked over and watched the band on stage. He eventually walked up to me with a beer and handed it to me and started a conversation. I don’t think he was trying to be cocky or arrogant, I just think he was trying to keep up his heel appearance in the face of a wrestling fan. After he talked to me and realized I was going to Wrestling school at the time, we had a nice conversation. He was very cordial and when I didn’t realize at the time is when I went up to him he was standing right next to Ted Dibiase, and I didn’t even recognize it and then when I woke up the next day I realized who it was and I felt horrible. Regardless, it was still that kind of time in the industry where everybody thought it was real. After he realized that I was getting into the business, he lightened up and talked to me for a bit. It was a nice night. Something I’ll never forget. That was like 1992 or something. Whenever he was in WWF.
What I hear, he very often will walk into a bar and buy the entire bar drinks all night. Seems like a very genuine guy, especially now that the business has been exposed.
So you met him once, as a customer, and you feel confident in knowing him better than guys who were around him daily for years?....
39:08 for future listening
Manny is full of shit! Flair would draw a crowd to this very day,jealousy is a ugly thing manny! Ric Flair is the goat of wrestleing without a dought! The few wrestlers that do talk down on flair usually are the ones that are jealous think he got more attention because he kissed ass truth is he out worked them,he was a all around entertainer ,mic ,ring ,he did it all and did it for years plus the 4 horsemen what else can I say
This was my exact thoughts and pretty much what I was going to say but you nailed it so no need for me to . Whoooo
Sid said he was a main eventer and drew more $$$ than Ric Flair. LMAO !!!! Name 1 person that wrestled main event more matches than Flair ........Rhodes wasnt always in main event.....Hogan didnt wrestle near as often as Flair.
Sid said since HE was in the business. He was referring to the 90s, when Flair was no longer main event that often.
The undertaker
Sid is a guy who was never as big in reality as he was in his own mind...but he could have and should have been.
I agree with you in terms of 80s and 90s wrestling history, but The Undertaker came and dominated the early 90s WWF into 3 nearly 4 decades. It looks like Roman R. is getting his run now. If WWE can’t find the next big Star; possibly Austin Theory. Roman might break the Main Event record. Time will tell.
I am a Ric Flair fan also but to me Sid was the man! I respect your opinion. And respect to you also.
What the hell is black Bart saying. LOL
It cracks me up when they refer to how many titles they have won or sell outs they were responsible for....🤠🤣🤣
If I got to sit down and have a beer with sid or flair??Hands down it would be FLAIR....
Lol I thought Doug Gilbert was an old Asian man until I herd him speek
It’s awesome seeing my trainer george south
If Black Bark ever kissed anybody on the lips, there would have been a real fight, I hope...😀😶😀
Flair actually broke his back in three places, not two.
Yes he did. Ric Flair broke his back in 3 different places in Wilmington North Carolina and that's why he always did the Flair flop. I lived 30 minutes away from Wilmington N.C. I was born in New Hanover County city of Wilmington so yeah I know for a fact that this happened.... Greg Valentine lied about Ric Flair never broke his back. I guess he was upset that Ric was a bigger draw for money and not himself.
I can't believe for 40 plus years in the business and he's completely broke
Well really Ric Flair has said that he never had to work a day in his life cause hid mom and dad left him so much money well when he became Ric Flair that we all know and love he develop this high maintenance of lifestyle and being divorced 4 or 5 times well all of that would make a man go broke very fast....if he had never gotten divorced and actually lived that lifestyle outside of the ring he wouldn't be broke.......but anyways Ric Flair is doing pretty good now plus he's got a clothing line out and another thing called The Ric Flair drip so the man is making money again.
Sherri was so crazy beautiful right until the end of her life ❤️❤️❤️🥲🥲🥲
So much sour grapes and obvious jealousy. First off, Flair is my favorite wrestler; as a fan since 1983 at 8 yrs old it was seeing Flair on syndicated TV & then TBS that made me see the difference between NWA/WCW and WWF/E. As a wrestler he's peerless. But as a human being he hasn't done his legacy any favors. You have to make that separate assessment if you're really going to pass judgement on the man.
What really pisses me off is that stock "he had the same match every night" bullshit. EVERYONE has things they do EVERY match. With Flair being on top for so long his stuff is just more familiar to more people, it was seen by more generations of fans. And I beg you to watch a gew in matches in a row of Harley Race, Terry Funk, Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, etc. They ALL had set spots & moves they used every match. Difference being Harley Race's kneelift wasn't as memorable as Flair's slam off the top.
Manny is one of many that are choking on an empty jealous grudge of a guy that was the total package
George your holding on to something you never had
This makes me miss rowdy piper…rip Rowdy
Why is the NWA world title behind Black Bart?
He won it after WCW started
No he didn't win the NWA world title he is a former WCCW world champion
Brandon look up his bio he NEVER won the NWA world title he is a former NWA national champion
@@ricardobullock9519 ok never heard of him
31:50 The guy he was trying to think of was Alan Iron Eagle, not "High Chief Peter North", as the dopey interviewer said 🤣
I want that watch.
Black Bart lol! What a legend. Listening to him is painful though. "yeah see..yeah see...I....I....I.. yeah know.....what....what....what I saw...." Lolol
Doug Gilbert was right...Ric Flair was for Ric Flair...still is n 2024

what sort of money
do you think he made
in his prime?
Love Stevie!!!
Stevie Ray looks like Booker and Eddie Murphy had a swole kid
LMFAO! Stevie Ray is a funny guy!!
Manny was so stiff in the ring -- none of us wanted to work with him.
Lex Luger used to be a stiff wrestler one time he busted Berry windham's head open with his elbow and he got stitches.
Black Bart!!!??? Manny Fernandez!!!!?!? Couldn't draw a dime!!!! Guy's couldn't touch Flair let's be real people!!!
Black Bart “ I was the same level as flair” 🤦♂️😂😂😂
Lol. Not in a million years
It’s always better to ask for forgiveness instead of ask for permission!
If flair was for himself why would he make mid card and lower card look good
Ric Flair will always be the measuring stick for World Champions. But as time passes he will fade with time. Just like Lou Thez, Dorsey Funk jr., Jack Brisco, Bruno, Harley, Billy, Bob, The Iron Shiek. They’ll all be lost to time. But for those who know and were there Ric Flair was always worth the price of admission.
