I had a phone in show in Ottawa for 17 years. Roddy was supposed to come on for 15 min. and his favourite caller would get a free book... He was higher than a kite... but he stayed for a whole hour! Then he ordered his publisher to send me another 20 books to give away to every caller!! Miss him so much... so sad he couldn't conquer himself.

I hear you buddy that guy is Richard Fleer who really really believes at this point that he is Ric Flair. just I believe just not being able to let go of the spotlight desperately trying to be relevant and still be there I don't know how old you are? did you ever watch flare like in the early 90s maybe on the peacock thing he was so strong he had such cardio he had such charisma I think like I said earlier he just became his character and he can't find his way back to the real person. I also miss the Ric Flair of old I think he really is the epitome of "It's better to burn out into fade away"

@@emj6724 You are both right. But come on, on the other hand, this man gave so much to all of us wrestling brothers and after ALL this decades he can´t just let it go, and he never will and to be honest I can understand that he maybe wants to die in the ring. Wrestling was and is his life and he even said he loves it more than his own family and my god , than it´s his way or choice. I know one thing , he is a real man that never gives up and still dresses, talks, tans, and walks like a womanizer with nearly 80. Watch other guys with that age, I would be the proudest grandson in the world if my lazy ass of a grandfather would be like I described Ric and I hope I will be when I am at his age. Bravo Ric, do the fuck what you want!

There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for Ivan Koloff not being in the WWE Hall of Fame. It is shameful. Don’t know what Koloff did to piss off Vince and can’t recall anyone every saying anything other to wonder why. Koloff spent many years as a minister after his wrestling career - cleaned himself up and became a beloved grandfather figure to so many. Flair is spot on that Hogan and Piper should have been the marquis entries in different years. Fortunately, Flair inducted Piper…

I never really appreciated Flair at the time when he joined WWF. In fact, I was lukewarm to him being champion and getting so much air time. He was more a joke character with his ring antics and promos imo. It's not until later in life I got the opportunity to learn more about him and see so much footage on YT and hear interviews that I've got so much respect for him and rewatch his matches. Piper I loved to watch. I am from Glasgow tho so had that connection to the character. I think back fondly of that era.

Bobby Eaton and the Midnight Express absolutely deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame! It is a shame that Windham and Rotunda weren't recognized individually for their outstanding solo careers, instead of just their time as a tag team. I'm not certain if Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch have been inducted, but they certainly should be. Windham's previous induction with the Four Horsemen seems somewhat unfair to Ole, who deserved his own place in the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, due to his controversial comments towards Linda McMahon and others, that was unlikely to happen. However, Ole's contributions as a part of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew with both Gene and Arn cannot be denied. The Boogie Woogie Man is another well-deserving candidate for the Hall of Fame. And what about incredible jobbers like George South and Mike Jackson? They were truly exceptional wrestlers who should not be overlooked. These are just a few names that come to mind, but let's not forget the long overdue recognition for Andy Kaufman. It's absurd that someone like Drew Carey made it in before him when Kaufman brought wrestling into the national spotlight. And we mustn't overlook Cyndi Lauper either! She should certainly have a place in the celebrity wing, just as Mr. T did, considering her significant contribution to the Rock N Wrestling movement.

Flairs opinions on guys are based mostly on jealousy…. His hatred of Sue, he despised him because fans couldn’t help but like the guy, he got over without talent and ability, his look pretty much was he had, however he’s still a legend, he was a huge draw, and also had that look; he wasn’t only given the horseman role which most fans think was the best set, sid, windam, fkair, Arn… however fkair, if the choice was his we wouldn’t know who did is?!
