Ric your the reason I became a wrestling fan. I was 5 years old with my uncle and Dad at Starrcade 1983. Followed you all throughout your career from JCP to WWE. An I am still a Ric Flair fan. Thank you my friend. Your the best. Go get em Champ WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
3 days before I was born ric won his 1st world title sept 15th 1981 I was born the 18th. It doesn’t mean much to anyone but me but I think it was awesome. Sept 1981 was a great year.
@@siddharthsharma6171 Pray u live to get his age, and still be able to move and get around on your own! 🙏🏿 Its sad ppl like u thats always talking negative about others! 🤦🏿♂ Get a Life!!
Yeah, wrestling has been missing an old out of shape man with serious health issues wrestling. Hardly. Why all the excitement? He hasn't even been retired that long. Can you not just rewatch his TNA matches to get your old man wrestling fix?
@@eamonnmaccionnaith5761 why does he need to stop if it's what he wants to do who's to tell him no, sells tickets go for everyone does might as well be doing something you love...
@@douglasarnold5310 But it could kill him though. It's not something anybody should be doing at his age. It's crazy. It won't even be his last match if he comes out of it in one piece.
Cant wait to see this one Ric! You've been THE MAN for my entire life and even after this match is over and the curtain finally parts and you take your bow I will continue to call you THE MAN!!!!!
Ric I love you like family but I hope everything goes well next week in your match. I hope you don't get hurt or worse. I hope you go out on a winning note this time. I will not get to watch because I have to work. May God keep you safe my friend.
@@Donalob I was purely being sarcastic lol This is true old school storyline wrestling. I love every minute of it these big companies should take notes.
The guys and gals that are around my age group we're all so lucky that every weekend we got to watch the best wrestling matches locker room full of talented wrestlers. We didn't have cable or satellite just outside antenna picked up 3 channels NBC,CBS,ABC. every Sunday at 12 NWA World wide wrestling came on channel 13 ABC WLOS out of Asheville North Carolina. I was lucky enough that I got to go see NWA a few times when they would have a show at the Asheville civic center even a TV taping one time. I was there to see only one man though Nature boy Ric Flair. The civic center was always packed when I was there not many seats were empty. People didn't sit there quite the whole time yelling whistling cow bells so it was loud. I was waiting to hear Ric whoooo in person even with all the noise whoooo filled the arena the fans that acted or maybe even didn't care for Ric they still respected him cause they knew he was the best wrestler on the card and no matter if there was 200 people or twenty thousand he gave you all he had that night you didn't leave disappointed after a Ric Flair match. Thank you Ric for getting in the business TY for all the memories. Good luck next Sunday kick Jeff Jarretts ass I'm pretty sure the Jay lethal is a angle he and Ric got a surprise for Jeff
We had AWA and Bob Luce Chicago wrestling on the airwaves. AWA out of Peoria. 70s, early 80s. Bruiser Crusher cage matches, Bobby Heenan, Bockwinkle, Gagne, Al Hayes and the Destroyers. The Valliants, Bobo Brazil, Sailor Art Thomas, Pepper Gomez, Moose Cholak, Strangler, Black Jacks, Jerry Blackwell, Wahoo, David Schultz, Ventura and Adonis and so many more. Have to give it to Blackwell to be that agile for a large man. And of course, Mean Gene. The fun days of seeing them live in high school gymnasiums.
Talk about deja vu-U nailed it Joe-Well said. I'm from Charlotte, the only difference is, if I remember right, we had 5 channels-3,9,18,36,42 (and that was w/rabbit ears & antenna on roof!)-Back then, Ric had wrestling rated R-then cane Hogan and made it rated G-such a shame
Small world! I grew up in the foothills, about an hour east from Asheville, and had the same choices in fuzzy, snowy television. I never missed NWA, and Flair was The Man. People that only know Flair from the late 90s/2000s never saw the technical proficiency he displayed back in the NWA/JCP days. I hope he beats Jarrett like a drum - I never liked that dude.
U could not have said it any better when the NWA came to Atlanta & Macon Ga growing up we was there my mom has ton of pictures of my sister and myself with several legends that called there matches in the ring. No script to follow when the championships meant something to the fans and the wrestlers. Yeah the ending and the decision on who to put the belts on was predetermined. But it was based on who drew money and how hard the guys worked in the ring who was truly entertaining if you will. And who could build a great story line. That’s why Flair was and is the man either like or hate him he gave the fans there money’s worth
This idea of incorporating the podcast into actual working angles is actually brilliant. Obviously it's a work but damn it it feels real and that's what we want. They want us to think it's real and making this match feel more real then anything wwe or aew or tna or njpw or bjpw or AAA or ROH or Lucha underground. But ric the fabulous one is the original strutter. Not you ric but that's okay. You're in the club with a few people who can pull the strut off and make it theirs.
Definitely does not feel real at all. Tell me the last time you saw a highly produced movie like real fight ?? Lol I get it , I’m excited about it as well. But nothing in wrestling feels real nor will it ever feel real again. The cat has been outta that bag publicly for almost 30 years. That’s one you can’t ever put back in the bag
@@pancake_ninja7964 how else would they have filmed it? With everything you are offered in wrestling, this didnt feel the most real of all of the angles happening right now? Of course it's not real I'm saying it felt real. Way to take the piss out of it.
I have expectations like he has to be styling and profiling, don't watch this for a five star match, but as a final hommage to who Ric Flair is and I will enjoy and savior the fun of his last match!
Love you Ric. Thank You so Very much for all these wonderful years and cherished memories. Best luck and best wishes for a successful last match. BillysBullys, BullyBilly, Colorado.
Angry feelings aside; Jeff Jarrett WAS an official member of The Four Horsemen. Yes it was brief, but he was still welcomed into the fold and had to beat both Chris Benoit at Starrcade '96 and then after that, Steve 'Mongo' McMichael on Nitro in order to get there. It should at least be acknowledged because it was a reality. He was promptly booted from the group by mid-1997.
Jarrett fit right in copy cat horsemen and like everywhere ole copy cat has ever worked or anything his ass as ever been apart of it crashed and burned Truth be told
Flair more believable in his age than ALL of today's rosters in Wrestling!!! When it comes to Wrestling JJ and Flair take it more seriously than most I believe its gonna be a blood bath👊💥👍🏻
“I don’t think anyone thought it would be this” lol come on conrad. Everyone thought this would happen is as soon as Jeff started showing up for the press conferences and lethal started doing his dumb angle
So what I took from this is Ric Flair win or lose he’s going to be praised no matter what. Now Jeff n lethal win or lose they don’t get the same praise for the simple fact that ric is 30 years older than lethal and 20 years older than Jeff. We all know you don’t get no love for beating up and old man but we sure gonna love the old man whooping some ass with that good o ric flair chop! Whooo! Let’s go ric! I’m hyped
I LOVE Ric Flair! I have since 1972. I seen his first match on youtube...... I was at his last match. And, I have seen him many times in between. I even have Wooo!!!tattooed the length of my forearm. But, The man is 73 years old! He has a heart monitor in his chest. He has MULTIBLE health problems. He DANG near died a few years ago......... He needs to sit down and watch it. HE'S TOO OLD to be doing this anymore. With that being said, I love you Ric Flair!!
His last match should have been with Shawn Michaels in wwe. Bottom line, The man is TOO OLD to be wrestling anymore. Don't get me wrong. As I said earlier, I've loved Ric Flair since the beginning...... But, There comes a time when you have to say "Ya know, enough is enough
If Flair didn't want to get his head kicked in he should have treated Lethal with more respect and given Jarett the respect he deserves too. Jarrett is the highest drawing star in the history of wrestling and ran the best wrestling product for over a decade and yet Flair didn't want a hand up from him? I'd be delighted to get a hand from Jeff. People like Flair never change. JJ is a great man.
@@bloodysabbath1984 Jeff is a mid carder at best and flairs been doing the same shtick for 50 years expect the back drop more blading the flair flop and on his knees begging in the Jeff match he's been doing the same thing all his career it becomes tedious
They kept saying hard way in that video when you could see Ric blading his forehead it was so obvious lol this match I have a feeling will be a major letdown
@@drizzyfest6285 laugh if you want but this is the kayfabe that built wrestling. And the fact that a few companies are involved with this shows that the territory has to come back. If yo7 think triple h and steph aren’t paying attention and taking notes on this, you’re high.
Ric I would love to be able to bring my dad to see ya,but he’s handicapped now.He just can’t walk but a few steps at a time without having to sit.I wish I could get up front or backstage for him!!!
Jesus...its impossible to dislike Conrad. Ive tried, and its impossible. What he's doing for wrestling fans and the older wrestlers right now is pretty cool.
If you understand the psychology of it, you understand that when Ric gives Jeff props for his skills, he's selling for Jeff but he's also building up himself. I just can't believe the police didn't arrest Jeff and Lethal for assaulting Ric in public like that🤣🤣
Kayfabing in the podcasts is just stupid. This seems like it is about Conrad living out a fantasy by being part of an angle. Kayfabe on the docuseries and then discuss the angle normally on the pod. It would be much more interesting to hear them discuss the development and execution of the angle, than continue it here.
Am I wrong here but I feel like wrecks to heal in all this? Isn't that rain you can read once right to be the heel or launcher to be a tuner so we can still face turn at show I'm confused?
Like many professional wrestlers would, I feel like Flair gets emotional when he thinks of all the years he's had in wrestling, all his matches and rival's, he's a true legend for sure but I feel like he's rather humble and grateful for it.
So the reason they waited so long to announce the match (didn't even do it at the presser) was because they were waiting for some two guys to attack Ric? Surely there was a Kayfabe match planned before this went down?
Jay lethal has every right to be upset/mad at you for not being put on the event. Also the way you talked to jarret after he tried helping you wasn't good at all and I understood why he started hitting you Ric you had it coming.
Last night I saw a photo of just how impressive and big Ric Flair looked back in the day before his plane accident. I believe he did powerlifting back then.
