Signing Flair should be the biggest showing that AEW doesn't know what to do and is just scrambling. The company doesn't really try to appeal to anyone now, at least before they appealed to the Meltzer "dream match" brigade but now they are filled to the brim with old talent and can't seem to decide what they want to do and how they present the product. It's becoming a complete shit show and that's without mentioning CM Punk.

@@troystaunton254 I agree. Ric Flair was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Now he can't even finish a match without passing out like he did in Nashville. And the last one he had in Puerto Rico wasn't much better. Ric Flair needs to retire for fuck's sake. At 74 years of age, he does NOT need to be in the ring anymore.

The fact that Jay Briscoe was never allowed on AEW but a supposed sexual offender is, is nothing short of farcical. Additionally, Tony Khan claims he fired Punk because he “feared for his safety and his life.” How does the women’s locker room feel about THEIR safety now Flair is here? I’m not saying flair is an actual danger to them, but in terms of company optics this looks very bad.

[@richardsmith9615]

I understand your point, but I think we need to be careful when people are prevented from being allowed to work due to allegations which are unproven. Yes, there is plenty of evidence of Ric Flair being a pervert and shitty human being, but he was never prosecuted over it. We don't want to live in a society where innocent people have their lives destroyed due to unfounded (And potentially malicious) allegations. That being said, I do think this is a shitty move for all parties, Flair will probably end up dying in the ring.

I hear that Hulk Hogan guy is a top up and coming talent. Love to see him versus Flair or that young talent Sting or Paul Wight

[@herbert9241]

Paul looked so undignified when he was unveiled as Jericho's (there's another for you) enforcer. Not only did he look like Humpty Dumpty - but that he might fall down on the spot at any moment. If he pins anyone there's a real danger they'll never come up for air again.

AEW is truly the greatest WWE retirement home yet

[@taylorsmith9629]

AEW are hypocrites for not wanting Riddle for sex assault allegations when this guy is literally 1,000 times worse.

[@KillaKRS1988]

Ric Flair is actually entertaining.

[@vb2806]

​@@KillaKRS1988was entertaining long time ago

[@fwef7445]

Don't forget Tony taking shots at Vince McMahon's for his sexual allegations whilst totally ignoring Flair's chequered past

[@fwef7445]

was. not been entertaining in over 20 years@@KillaKRS1988

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

@@KillaKRS1988 Ric is not entertaining. He has reached the point where it's like watching Joe Biden wandering around on a stage trying to find the exit.

[@nathanguffey4204]

I’m taking all bets! The over/ under on the first flair Canadian Destroyer. Giving 20/1 Then taking 50/1 Ric making a stable by the new year. 10/1 First tag match by the next PPV 9/1 Ric making the full 2 years of this contract 5/1.

Definitely a potential candidate for Funniest Moments Volume 3 Omnibus. Brian reading the description and losing his mind at the preposterous nature of it. And the best way to sum up his laughter was for Jim using the punchline to lighten things up, "What does it do for hemorrhoids?" We know Jim will still have a spot for Ric Flair in his heart, but hes hoping Ric is smart with this but dreading the inevitable idea of Flair wrestling again. With the Man, you never know and he could try that idea. All 3 of the participants in his last alleged match are working for AEW. This energy drink business capitalizing on the wonders of organic mushrooms mixing with caffeine and the other compounds will run its course and be profitable, for the suckers at least. Maybe it'll flop and maybe Ric can book himself in another promotion.

[@turkishjanitor3666]

That description is something a snake oil salesman would recite, not something you would see on a website of a company selling actual energy drinks

[@CamSTL]

Brian Laughs...that should be the title of this video 😂😂

[@JaySchraubMusic]

And Ric Flair said in his press release "I love being by Stings side during this last run, makes it easier for me to betray him one more time! wooo"

[@carolynbuckley8733]

Flair VS MJF will be epic. I hope they push Flair

[@dtop668]

They'll have to push Flair. Wheelchairs are awkward by yourself😅

[@archaontheeverchosen7980]

So much for Tony's stance of being pc af and not letting in anyone who has done questionable things. I'm sure flair never did anything wrong lol

[@deejo2278]

Shout-out to Flair that's a hell of a deal for him 😂

[@al5306]

The marketing for the Woo! Energy drink sounds like Jim sabotaging one of his own sponsor ads lol

[@stevecrawford5619]

So what Brian was trying to say is that WOOOOOOOOO Energy is NOT gonna be a sponsor of the Jim Cornette podcasts realm anytime soon! Lmao this segment was epic and hilarious! I've never heard Brian Last laugh so loud and long lol, I hope a can of this appears on every AEW TV show just so Brian can laugh like this. Thank you guys! Needed this

[@Dr.Meth666]

Brian and jim crackin up will ALWAYS be over .

[@Garrettsamuel98]

I wonder if there will be any special kinds? Like the "Helicopter" lol

[@PreacherJenkins]

It's crazy that Flair and Sting was over 35 years ago and even back then people were saying Flair was tarnishing his legacy

[@mrpurk3085]

This had me crying in laughter 😂 thanks for the comedy AEW and Ric Flair

[@bigtombowski]

One more trip to SPACE MOUNTAIN!! *17 TIME WORLD CHAMPION* Calling it now.

[@EwanCumia]

That will be the PPV in December.

[@bigtombowski]

@@EwanCumia nice Xmas gift for us A champ older than Jesus

[@lennyclinton5672]

Brian? That was the Greatest Product description EVER! Please, please, please get them to be a sponsor on the show so Jim can read the ads!! They would go an hour Broadway!😂

[@johnst3296]

Tony needs to be in the money mark protection plan at this point. "Woo energy"? I guess booty sweat was trademarked. Could have called it "wooty sweat"....

[@geraldmorgan6906]

Going to have to change AEW's name to Awful Elderly Wrestling so they can at least keep the same moniker.

[@1youllneverwalkalone]

Genuinely one of the funniest segments ever, laughed my arse off through most of this

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

8:07 “If you’re draggin’ Ass, Drink Dragonfruit.” 🤣🤣🤣 Cornette is classic.

[@bigern32480]

Woooo Energy….The official energy drink of All Elderly Wrestling

[@HMKASTheImpeccable]

Jim Cornette the wrestling Roast King 👑 the thumbnail lmao 🤣😂🤣💀💀

[@davidhunter1555]

Need a "Brian Last Reading Things" compilation

[@kingdza]

This is exactly how TNA became a madhouse. Literally hired all retired WWE wrestlers and let them run wild. Only thing missing is Vince Russo at this point

[@GreigaBeast]

Brian giggling so much made my day.
