Nobody busts a man in the chops like Ric Flair.

Even though I like soccer, I have to agree with your comment.  Windmills and wooden shoes are plenty gay. 

Even when Flair got pwned, he still stole the show  (skip to about 1:30)





Damn I miss those days!!!

That was wrestling of my youth right there. Thanks!

Flair still sounds the same!!! So great!

Great stuff, Andy.  Most of these guys just don't get what old school Mid-Atlantic wrestling was.  Pure entertainment.

Interestingly enough, it was my grandmother - Ivy-league educated, teacher/counselor, church benefactor, daughter of a preacher, etc - who got me into wrestling.  I'd come in on Saturday evenings and she'd have Mid-Atlantic on.  Good times, man, good times.  When she first got cable TV and got TBS, she suddenly had access to twice as much TV wrestling. :)

I still refer to a suplex as a "su-PLAY" in his honor...

Other terms of his I fondly remember:  "front chancery" (front facelock)..."pier sixer"..."Mr. Wrestling II is on the scene!!!"

When I was about the age of 10, I had the Flair entrance song recorded on tape.
When Mom would call me to come downstairs for dinner, I would play the tape as I made my approach from the landing.
Company always appreciated that.
Damn, that funny, i used to come down acting like Brutus The Barber Beefcake--with that slow walk and two fingered "scissor" movement...
