Wrestling Thread: Ric Flair

[Todd]

Is it just me or has Ric Flair lost all his Pizzazz, his flair, his umph.

I find his interviews and monologues very dry and his attitude tired.

Basically he seems to be living up to the claimn he only took the WWF job so that when his book comes out in 2002 people will even have a clue who he is.

It's very sad. He use to have some of the most colorful, entertaining interviews and monologues in the business, but now its not even a shell of his former self.

Ric Flair

I cant stand watching him wrestle or talk. The wwf never put him on. The only good thing is now the big stars (Goldberg,Sting,Big Pappa Pump,Nash) from wcw will sign with the wwf.

 

[Phoenyx]

Goldberg wont sign.
HE is getting 2 million a year to sit on his ass. why would he give that up?

Sting has said he does not want tot ever work for the WWF.


Big Poppa Pump is a definet possibility.

ok get this straight people , the split comes soon , raw stays raw , smackdown becomes wwf nitro, between 10 and 20 wrestlers are facing the axe because of falling advertising ratings and bad ppv figures
the split will happen becaus flair will get tired of mcmahons ass licking gimmick
on the list to go are taka michinoku and funaki among others
scott steiner will be coming to the wwf in the new year along with hall and nash . nearly all the time warner contracts come to an end in janurary goldberg is not certain to join wwf because he has an ego the size of texas.
sting is looking to join his friend hogan in a rival new promotion but has not ruled out the wwf completely
oh yeah hhh will be back by januraryif not sooner

I doubt if Nash will return to the WWF either. He has that "Diesel" image behind him. Unless McMahon attempts to bring him back as a debuting wrestler as he did Barry Windum several years ago. He has a way of playing his audiences for fools.

As for Flair, let's face it. He's an old geizer now. The WHHOOOAAA!! just ain't what it used to be anymore. And the 4 Horsemen has left the stable for the glue factory.

 

[WriterDom]

How old is Flair? He's been around forvever.
