What can I really say about Ric Flair that hasn’t already been said. The guy is beyond great and what drives that point home is how well-respected “Nature Boy” is by his peers. If I never watch another Monday Night Raw again, my professional wrestling hunger would be fulfilled because of the way that show closed out Monday night - it was just unbelievable.Seeing the old N.W.A. World Championship a couple of weeks ago on Raw was incredible and just brought back a host of fond memories. But when the original faction in wrestling – the Four Horseman – came out to pay their respects to Mr. Flair, well, it was just mind-blowing is all I can say.
The segments throughout the night of old Ric Flair matches gave me chills. Flair fought them all; I mean he fought stars from the 1970’s all through the stars of today. All those great matches that he wrestled against Rick Steamboat, Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes and his classic battles with Sting.
Ric Flair’s sendoff goes down in my book as some of the best television I have ever, ever, ever seen. Put it up there with anything that has ever occurred. You name it? So what did I do after Monday Night Raw concluded? I put on WWE 24/7 and I watched an interview Flair did on World Championship Wrestling back in 1986 on the old Superstation TBS. You know what? Flair may have slowed in the ring, but as far as being a great showman, his fastball still has a whole lot of velocity on it.
Naitch, you've got a big fan right here.
Thanks for the memories!
