Nice to read about a wrestler over 50 who isn't dead of a drug overdose or heart attack.

Yes. Given that Euguene's schtick is that, in the ring, he imitates (with some skill) the techniques and tactics that he's seen his favorite wrestlers from the past employ, I was hoping that he'd deal with Flair by poking him in the eye. Alas, the WWE writers apparently didn't think of it.

That's what I'm talking about!

We got WBTV, Charlotte, on our cable in the early sixties, and Saturday afternoons - baseball?

Don't think so.

They was never any blood, nor scantily clad wimmen; but a whole bunch of woof'n and ass kickin'.

And when he came into the ring, I have to stand as soon as "Also Sprach Zahusthra" was played.

(Interesting note: My voice teacher told me recently until she was serenaded with that for her graduation, she was scared of that piece of music. She is no longer scared because she knows it was the song they used to serenade her at college graduation.)

Stylin' and profilin' - one reason for Flair's longevity (and Regal and the 'Taker and Foley and some of the other long-time greats) is because he didn't get his size from a needle. IMHO.

I did not grow up in the 80s with Ric Flair because the WWF dominated the market I lived in, New York and I did not have cable in the house to watch TNT or TBS. When I did see him he was great. I wonder what ever happened to Sargeant Slaughter. I saw him in civilian clothes a few times on WWE broadcasts in the past working in security. Ricky the Dragon Steamboat was awesome too on the NWA (?).

I stole Stylin' and profilin' from Ric Flair, as the name of my limo company (RIP). Part of it is still part of my username.
