Wooooooooooooooooooooh!
ping.
Limousine rid'n...jet fly'n...kiss steal'n sob! He never ceases to amaze me for a man of such.. let's just say....experience. His thumb to the eye followed by that strut is the best. Thanks for the yucks over all these years. Wooooooo!
Double "Whoooooooooooooooooo!"
"To be 'The Man', you gotta beat 'The Man' ... WOOOOOOO!!!"
I agree...
He got his butt kicked by Eugene last night so he's definitely laost his fastball. Just a statement of fact. ;^)
Nice to read about a wrestler over 50 who isn't dead of a drug overdose or heart attack.
Ric Flayeh! You and I, Friday night at the Macon coliseum Ric Flayeh! Texas cage match, Ric Flayeh!
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.
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'.
Wow, that brings back memories. Good ol' Gordon Solie.
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.
The dirtiest player in the game!
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 (?).
First saw him on Mid-South Wrestling, on TBS back in the early 80's
