Ric Flair & Rip Hawk Promo On Swede Hansen & Tiger Conway Jr (Mid-Atlantic, 1974) 

Yep, had to walk off camera to suck air.

He copied that from Flip Wilson.

no, he's in the wrestler movie, they filmed scenes during his training camp, so no

Kind of looks like him too

I think Harley was inspired by Rip.

don't be weird

Talking like a black guy

Until The Nature Boy came along.

And fat.

Cena is 45 but Reigns is only 37

@@williamfendt647 whoops, had summerslam on the brain. Meant Brock

That's unreal. i'm 48 and that hawk dude looks old enough to be my father lmao.

@@The716_ And Ric looks much older than 25 here which for the record is the age that WWE's Austin Theory currently is on the date (July 7, 2023) this comment was posted! 😂😂😂😂

TO HELL WITH BROCK LESNAR! HE'S NOTHING! STOP MENTIONING HIM ALREADY YOU RAT BASTARD!

He was 24-25. He WAS young.

WOOO!

With a twist of “Superstar” Billy Graham..”

Its still better than most of the scripted promos in the WWE

No you mean Rick the nurture boi Fluer

It was the ‘70s. Politically incorrect language didn’t exist. I remember his promos on Rufus R Jones being much more racist than this.

Don’t be such a crybaby

woke crybaby

@@gary6754 America/ns were thick skin back then; we didn't get all butt-hurt over the 'words' of other people.

Stop complaining

While "Mammy" is indeed offensive keep in mind that this was during the 1970s (1974) which was not too long after the Jim Crow era ended plus people found racist and other derogatory terms humorous during that time. Watch some shows from the 1970s such as All in the Family and Sanford & Son and you'll see what I mean.

@@brfisher1123 I know what you mean…I watched both shows. Racism was cheap heat…always was, always will be. It doesn’t make it OK…

@@pls2028 I'm not saying that it was OK, I'm just pointing out that society was unfortunately a lot more racist back then than it is now, what's done is done. If Ric was indeed racist in the '70s then let's be glad that this doesn't necessarily reflect on how he is nowadays.

@nosoyallowed828 I cope just fine, thank you. People do care, even if you don’t, which pretty obviously you don’t.

@@pls2028 "Racism was cheap heat…always was, always will be. It doesn’t make it OK…" So what do you propose we do about this 50 years later, cancel Archie Bunker? Based on your comments, it wouldn't surprise me if you'd want those 70's shows expunged.
