I think it was about 20+ years ago I read in a magazine that a champ once left his belt at an arena, and a janitor found & returned it.
I want to say it was Flair, but that doesn't sound right.
Who the hell was that?
I figure if it was anyone it would be Flair. With all his post match partying and so forth. He probably got hammered and forgot it, lol...
"All you women between the ages of 18-30, i'll be across the street in the Marriott hotel in room 325. Whoa!!"

"And that's why my sport jacket costs $800.00 and yours costs $200.00....(pointing at the ring announcer) and I don't know what that costs but i'd be ashamed to wear it!"

LOL, I saw that clip not too long ago and it had me rolling. Younger guys just have no idea how much better Flair was than EVERYBODY else who has ever picked up the mic. It was off the cuff, no team of writers to help him out, and he had to use so many hidden meaning to things to protect the kids...
I used to get a kick out of when he would come out and sing some random song......"Sky rockets in flight, afternoon delight....." Also, "Lord, it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way...."

I have both the Horsemen dvd and the Flair dvd and I could litterally watch them over and over. I love the 1980's Flair promo's.
"And ladies what time is it!? Well I can't tell because there's so many diamonds sparkling on my rolex!"

He just had hundreds of great promos with a ton of original stuff in them during the 80's.

I posted this vid on another thread. Unfortunately, it's not on youtube, anymore.
But, if you want to pick a signature promo, this is as good as it gets:
-
"Don't be ashamed of those butterflies you have rumbling in your stomach right now!" Great stuff!
Love that one, Tim.....so vintage Flair. He always gave his interviews that edge of realism....and was soooo good at putting over whoever he was working with at the time.
-
BIG MAN!!!
-
I've gotta agree with a lot of Slick Ric's views here...
He hits the nail on the head more than once.
-
-
I agree with him on pretty much all of it. Except about what he says about the Immortal One. "Hulk Hogan couldn't do that" Flair, Perfect, and Bobby are my top three.
Yeah, what was that in regards to?
I couldn't catch it on the clip.
Ric & Landsberg were talking over eachother for a second, and then all I could make out was, "Bret Hart couldn't do that. Hogan couldn't do it. Piper could."
-
I never saw Flair once until he came to the Federation. But I knew who he was from magazines and from people in school who used to watch that other wrestling organization. But this interview. When Flair walked out that day and got in Hulksters face. That was one of the biggest events in my life when that happened. "Don't be ashamed of those butterflies you have rumbling in your stomach right now!" Great stuff!
You have no idea what you missed. Flair was BETTER in the NWA.
-
"And I got a limousine over a mile long outside with 25 women in it waiting for me to go Whoa!!"
-
Ric calls Shane Douglas a dipshit!
:D
-
"Am I cookin' or what....I got 25 of these (points to his robe). I wish all the kids could have one of these but at 5 thousand dollars a pop, its a little hard to do."
-
"What's causin' all this!?!"
-
"These lizard shoes are on sale now for just 1,200.00 dollars."
-
"When you talk about the World Heavyweight Championship, you are talking about men like Thesz, Rogers, Race, Funk, Rhodes, and the man you are looking at right now RIC FLAIR! Men who have lived their lives at being the best at what they do in professional wrestling and that is becoming #1, becoming the world heavyweight champion. And Ricky Morton you think you are in the same class as these men? Well lemme tell you something pal, WHOOOO! you just made the biggest mistake of your life. You got a better chance of trying to cross I75, I85 and 285 while wearing a blind fold than you do of getting this title off the Nature Boy. NWA World Heavy Title. Not for teenyboppers. And now... you got to walk that aisle. You got to step in that ring. You got to look across and see the Nature Boy standing there and know that I am going to Make You Sweat! haha! I am going to Make You Bleed. hahaha! And by God *WHOOOO* Ricky Morton I am going to make you PAY! THE! PRICE! for getting in the ring the Nature Boy. I'm Ric Flair pal *WHHOOO* custom made from head to toe. Diamonds are forever and so is Ric Flair. WHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO!!!"

"And I just got back froma rondevous....with the hottest women in space mountain."
-
This is my greatest Flair promo ever. Just watch how he captivates the fans and they get so into it. Maybe the greatest promo ever!!!

Saw this while it was airing when I was a kid with a few friends and we all went crazy!! It's amazing how these guys promoted the matches back then. We were all literally on the edges of our seats.

Now this is a prime Ric Flair...not the washed up, aged, mis-used guy we saw in the WWE. Flair was gold between 1980-1990.

Same with the Road Warriors
Same with Hogan
1980-1990 were the greatest years of wrestling ever...NUFF SAID!!

I totally agree. Flair had supreme confidence with the Crocketts who knew if they just let him run with the ball, he was the man. And the confidence came thru in everything he did. I honestly can't remember a program that Flair worked in the 80's that was a dud. Regardless of territory, who he faced, etc... it was always an event when Flair came to a territory. Never cared nearly as much for any of his WCW work and the WWF isn't even worth mentioning by comparison to the 80's;

Personally, I thought he had his best years, matches and noteriety with JCP.

cheftim, why bring up your love of Hogan's cock in this thread? There are plenty of other ones, or start your own.
-
See when I see clips like that it really brings me back to my roots. I'm a Hulkamaniac. It's the strongest force in the Universe! Flair is a nothing Champion compared to the Hulkster. Ricky Martin handed his a$$ to him. No one beat Hogan. EVERYONE has beaten Flair at one time or another. Nature Boy became one of my favorites once he joined the federation. No one is getting close to the Hulkster though. Hulkamania is immortal!
Ricky Morton is the one who lost badly in a cage match at Shea Stadium to Flair thus ending the fued.
No one ever beat Hogan??? How about:
Undertaker (Survivor Series 1991 & again in 2005)
Warrior (WM6)
Yokozuna (king of the ring 1993)
Andre The Giant (Feb 5th 1988 The Main Event @ Market Square Aena in Indiana)
Goldberg (WCW)
Piper (WCW)
The Rock (WM18)
Sting (WCW)
I could keep going. You need to get your facts straight there, brother.
-
Hey, this is some great recent Flair promos!! Still funny as shit!!
-

The Crockett's were the only ones who truly knew what to do with Flair, and it shows; those were his best years.
Turner may have later owned the company, but Flair would never be the same - anywhere.

This is my favorite WWf promo of his, after losing to Savage

I loved the chaos that came after that match with bodies flying all over the place in the ring. :) I always thought that the Flair-Savage fued was amazing but I would have kept the title on Flair at WM8 and strecthed the fued to SS later that year. I thinkk they made Flair lose it too quick in hiw 1991-1993 WWE run.

Ric Flair recently spoke to FanHouse.com about TNA, Shawn Michaels and more. Here are the highlights…
On Product Awareness: "I'm actually not involved in that equation. Obviously, I hear conversations and people talking about it. But it's going to take a year or two and it takes effort from Spike as much as from the wrestlers. The biggest problem is one key word: it's called awareness. I hear more and more about TNA every day but when I first started six months ago, people had no idea I was even wrestling again. It's just an awareness issue. It's no fault of the promotion. It's no fault of lack of work or work ethic. It's just the budget is different there and they've got to earn their stripes as they go but they got marching orders and the guys are working hard. It's just a matter of time. I think it's a year away."
Does Foutune Hurt The Legacy Of The Four Horsemen?: "No, I've only done it twice. Of course, I did it the other time with the WWE. The quality of the guys and who I'm with ... if I couldn't have control I wouldn't consider doing it. The fact that they asked for my input on that and pretty much let me get to know the guys that I'm working with and to be happy with them. Of course, I loved being with Dave (Batista) and Randy (Orton) and Hunter. That was a great time up there but I don't know if anything will ever follow the Four Horsemen just because we were together for so long. These guys are just tremendous athletes and they're really the tops in the business right now. I'm having a great time. I'm living my life vicariously through them!"
Does He Believe That Shawn Michaels' Retirement Will Last?: "I do because ... I'm not saying he won't wrestle again but he's got young kids and he's been able to make money. He made money before the kids were born and he enjoys the things that I didn't get to enjoy in regards to my first family. I did get to enjoy more with my second set of kids but at that point in time I really didn't get to do much with them until the time they were about 12 or 13. His kids are like 6 and 3 or 6 and 4, maybe 7 and 4. He's enjoying that day to day stuff that you don't get to do as a wrestler working full-time because you're gone every weekend."
Was he Going To Wrestle Shane Douglas At Hardcore Justice?: "I never was approached. That is all a figment of his imagination. He wishes. He's a clerk at Wal-Mart for christ's sake. How could he be a wrestler?"
-

Great pic tim.....I've never seen that one.
-
I never watched Flair once before he came to the Federation. But when he did come I though He, Bobby, and Perfect were made for one another. That was a great time in my life. I never saw that pic either and put it as my screen saver.
WCW missed a golden opportunity when Hennig came to WCW, they should have reunited all 3 of them...but the idiots running it at the time, had no clue.

I hated the way WCW used Henning to the point where I couldn't even watch. What a waste of such great talent.

They set it up perfectly for him to join the Horsemen, which would have been an excellent fit and then squandered just to beat Flair down a few more notches. Bischoff's obsession with trashing Flair, and others, was just plain sickening.

Anybody read Flair's book?
I'm curious what he said about Bischoff.

I haven't but i'm sure it would make a great read....especially on the party scene after the shows :). I'm also sure that he trashes Bishoff bigtime and I don't blame him one bit.

Bischoff made a lot of bad moves/calls, and Turner was an dumb-ass for allowing it.
I'll always contest that "Teddy" was just as much to blame as Bisch/Russo, etc.
Turner should have been more involved in his own product.
For a long time, he was the one guy who had the power to put his foot down and say, "NO!"
The fact that he didn't means he assumes recourse.
Or, maybe "Billionaire Ted" never heard of Respondeat Superior...

Just finished rereading it. He still thinks he's an asshole and was a huge reason Flair suffered so much in WCW both professionaly and personally.
Essentially, upon Flair's recommendation Bischoff got his job. And by coincidence, same is true of Scott Steiner, who Rick Steiner asked Flair to put a word in for and thats how he was hired by WCW initially.
Same with Hogan, who he still has ill feelings towards because in the angle where David Flair was whipped by Hulk, Flair believes Hogan took liberties and went way overboard with it.
When Flair was in his last WWE run and they brought in Bischoff, who had no back stage power at all, Flair finally confronted Eric as Arn watched the door. Flair roughed him up a little, but wanted to bait him into a fight, before it could progress Slaughter shut it down. But you can tell it did Flair a world of good to finally do that after Eric just completely shit on him for years in the WCW, even threatening to sue "Flair and his family into bankruptcy."
When VKM heard about the Flair/Bischoff incident, he called Flair to his office and explained it couldn't happen again, but nothing more of it. VKM probably had a good laugh at Eric afterwards.

True to that. Everything you just mentioned was on his DVD too...which I could watch over & over.
