Ric Flair on WHO made WCW successful

[@normanjones636]

Sting and Ric Flair is what made WCW

[@Aizenborgman]

Nice joke

[@dewiwilliams4821]

Sting, flair, vader, ron Simmons, Steve Austin, flying Brian...I liked a lot of the early 90s WCW roster

[@hw5091]

Hogan and then the nwo made wcw. Before him n the nwo, wcw was just a money loser and a second rate company. Sting didn't do shit, and he would NEVER FUCKING A LOSE MATCH, EVER. And everybody talks about hogan not losing. Another joke.

[@richardclark7224]

People can say what they want about ric he made a lot and people over no arguments❤

[@MrElephantBeach]

Every time I watch one of these clips Ric is asking a bunch of rhetorical questions but sitting there waiting for an answer. He did it about 20 times in this clip. At least Conrad has realized he has to answer to keep the conversation moving.

[@kevin.beaulieu]

Every ex wrestler thinks they were driving the bus and making everyone else look like a million bucks while they were underpaid. The only one who isn't an old broken down disgruntled prick is DDP.

[@Mp25DIII]

Is water wet?

[@Piznick64]

He's so awkward with all the pauses

[@LobsterPuncher]

Did Hogan use his creative control clause? Did Eric use me to put over Hogan? Was JFK an inside job? Did the Horsemen put baby faces over? Me! That's who!

The Man is bringing big facts!!!

[@souperstar7050]

Disco Inferno was the WCW. Period. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

[@marvelousmarcof2t]

Ric Flair is the Greatest Of All Time

[@Ryan-ys6tf]

Flair is the goat. He made raslin look real. Dusty too tho.

[@notta3d]

Ric is exactly right about good guys and their predictions. Cena's credibility is completely shot because of it. Those 2 promos Cena did with Roman were absolute gold yet they had him lose both of the matches. He's come back and put everyone over so much that you can't believe him anymore when he does his pitch.

[@jakebush4749]

If there was no Ric. There would absolutely be no WCW. If there was no WCW. There absolutely would still be a Ric

[@davidwayne8036]

It's a well know fact that Ted Turner had told the Crockettes he would only purchase JCP if Ric came w the company. He wanted to make sure Flair was locked in b/c he knew the fans loved Ric & always came to see him whether it was against Harley, Wahoo, Steambiat, Dusty, Luger, Sting, etc. I heard Bitch-off say Flair never drew $, BULLSHIT!! How do you think JCP got so big in 84-88? It was Ric! I know it was other guys too but everyone either loved Flair or hated him & wanted to see someone beat him for the HW title. I know Flair wasn't a big draw in his 1st WWF run, but that shouldn't be shocking considering the WWF fans always viewed NWA/WCW as an inferior product, therefore Flair was inferior in their eyes. But Eric should be careful what he states, Flair most certainly drew $ for both JCP & Turner.

[@wcm5636]

@@davidwayne8036: so true. Watch the cage match in the Omni against the Russians where Dusty came in to help Flair only to get double crossed. Fans were so worked up they were breaking into the cage and ready to kill the horseman. Never has that level of heat been replicated

[@tommytaylor4139]

I think WCW'S vision made WCW,the cruiserweights,Hogan,Hall and Nash, Flair,Sting,great chain wrestling,the deal or working arrangement with Japan,LESS sports entertainment and more WRESTLING made WCW all these factors,and Eric was a huge part of that,but Ric was WCW for me as was STING,but I loved everything about it,the Mexicans,the announcers,the crowds etc,it felt different,it was different,and I loved it.

[@yoholmes273]

THE SHOCKMASTER!!!

[@samdustinchris]

He fell flat on his fookin arse

[@andrewcomments5812]

My brother turned me onto wrestling. Sting made me stay.

[@patriot4christ204]

Without Sting WcW would've failed way sooner than it did. He carried that franchise on his back.

[@ltk20352]

The rafters and the baseball bat. Ric wonder why he wasn't over. Dude no one was over like Sting was at that time. Just accept it 😂

[@nostalgiaman6816]

He’s right. He put over everyone. Hulk, Macho, Giant, NWO, etc. He couldn’t even cleanly beat Curt Hennig. He won DQ. Then Curt beat him at WWW3 97.

[@Adam-ov5ie]

Takes credit for everything as per.

[@delmorva9877]

FLAIR FOR PRESIDENT

[@samdustinchris]

Ron Reese and the Giant really got the product over when they double ended hogan.

[@jeffjackson9679]

The 7 foot gay demographic viewership went through the roof after that.

[@krillin876]

Yah tay

[@lustthomas6033]

Flair made the NWA, Hall and Nash put WCW on the map and Hogan Star power put it over top , sting was the company man much like the undertaker.

[@kennethgriffin7921]

hogan turning heel is what shot wcw into the stratosphere

[@RhinoXpress]

yeah but even if the 4 horseman were getting put over like the nWo they would have never came close to the nWo's cool factor. The 4 horseman were old school heels in the way they conducted themselves. The nWo was hip for its time, they changed the game with their cool heel mentality, that people actually wanted to cheer for.

[@benrichards399]

I thought that they weren't allowed to sell tickets on the Disney sound stage venue they filmed in?

[@JuniorLewingKoo]

Hey brother, brother, brother!.

[@HereBeRabbit]

Glacier was the true star of WCW...

[@jeffjackson9679]

Him and the Renegade.

[@jasonmorgan5058]

I do agree with that

[@heath51309]

Shock master 100%

[@samdustinchris]

I mean, Shockmaster paved the way and was ahead of his time. But yeah, Glacier, Renegade and The Yeti were the true heroes of WCW.

[@cinesanti7]

In all fairness, Sting put the likes of Vader, Muta, Rude, Giant, Goldberg, Nash and Hall, Luger, Sid, DDP, Steiners, Booker T, Bret over in WCW

[@benrichards399]

Hulk got his moustache shaved off.

[@thraxeadamus]

Ric Flair was passed his prime in 98 and he just couldnt handle it and still cant

[@ltk20352]

He made a comeback with Evolution and that was pretty much it.

[@donjohn2695]

Flair was past his prime before that in ring wise but charisma personality entertainment factor flair always had it

[@butcherboy2008]

1:10 Finger Poke Of Doom? Lol.

[@justinfreney3740]

Not one man made WCW. It was a team effort. Anyone who disagrees, Flair can't wrestle himself. It's a dance an you need a dance partner. Period.

[@ssdj04]

Always pissed me off that Ric had to put everyone over. It used to drive me nuts. I would say how can this guy beat him!?!? Was such a shame to see, take the belt off Ric he’s done. Ratings down give Naitch the strap take it away again He was “so bad” but they always went to him.

[@mlort923]

Umaga forsure

[@RM-hg7eh]

The shock master !

[@dougsimmons2344]

Hogan and Macho and Piper were over when they got there

[@DeadlyAllianceTV]

Ric flair was the guy that you didn't want to pick on the video game to wrestle as because of how he wrestled compared to everybody else in '96-97-98 and 99. They wore out the NWO story crap for that whole time and like he said they were always winning and they were cheating too which also got old fast. It was like fight straight up at some point and they never did it ever. It was so frustrating as a fan because I liked Benoit, diamond Dallas, Raven, Booker T, Chris Jericho and Eddie guerrero, The Iceman, Saturn, and they never gave none of them the World Heavyweight championship and spread the love or the glory and money. The NWO was hogging it all and Ric flair was used to hogging it all too and he was pissed off about it. Ric flair was just lost in the sauce and at some point it seemed like nobody really cared what was going on as long as they were getting millions of dollars and it was obvious. They were all on TV drunk and high. The NWO was acting like Lame 90s rappers and sting looks so out of place once he join the NWO it was like what the f***? I think that's when he went to go find God because he was like what the hell is going on here with these guys.

[@mrwhopee]

Saturn and Malenko were NEVER going to get a world title anywhere lol.

[@marka.graffakasnakebitenat3736]

The real question is has anyone wiped their behind with The Nature Boy's mullet?

[@jasonmorgan5058]

Flair will forever be the greatest jobber the wrestling business has ever seen

Poor ric hard done by forever in his mind

[@Biggestkidyouknow]

Ric has a massive hog though

[@christopherjordan6689]

The "Greatest champion of all time" was David Arquette !

[@buzznfrog6702]

Nobody needed to put hulk over his contract was him guaranteed getting him over

[@martyklestadt6766]

But somebody big still had to lose to Hogan to make that happen. Ric was that guy.

[@jonpike9502]

The renegade

[@domamania]

Yes nash did put hogan over in road wild 1999, just 2 weeks after the return of the red and yellow. Get your fact straight

[@fatstaxx1247]

[@tonyclifton2230]

Who wasn't in wcw he was in wwf.

[@P420-i1e]

The horsemen we're trash

[@Biggestkidyouknow]

Trash!!?!! trash!!?!! Ric had a massive fucking pipe bro what are you talking about

[@cogekacc]

sorry Ric they needed someone for the nwo to shit on. It had to be the eldest people. That's why it was hot. There's was nothing wrong with WCW until they changed ownership and brought in Russo.

[@Biggestkidyouknow]

Russo had a small pipe

[@Itsametyler1993]

Vampiro was the true superstar of WCW.....

[@domamania]

o and who beat you in 1994 for the title, when he won the whole arena jumped on their feet and waving their hand, and is was a sea of red and yellow, so stop bs ing and they had to manually add the hogan chants.. put the volume at mute 🔇 and you still see, hogan legit got the crowd behind him.. so stop bs ing. Ps this time not you or Conrad erase the comment and take the truth like men...

[@domamania]

From 1988 to 1994 wcw was stale. The only star carrying wcw at that time was sting. The in 1994 hogan came in and in 1996 is when wcw started to rise again with nwo . From 1996 to 99 wcw was kicking butt. Research before talking..

[@emich28]

Rocky King was cool and he lost all the time.

[@Nizzle5150]

It was the nWo! Period. Ric flair was literally my least favorite wrestlers in that era. He was boring! Outright boring.

[@seanwebb605]

What an ego trip.

[@theclawyaww3740]

All the marks hate to hear it but Russo was a huge part of WCW success

[@jeffjackson9679]

WCW under Bischoff from 95-98 was making huge profits. WCW under Russo in 99-until he was shit canned: Lost money like crazy. Math must not be your top subject.

[@michaelrose3101]

🥱🥱🥱🥱 incredulous comment.

[@zanethomas6826]

Calm down ric. Here I'll say it for you. The horse men are better than NWO and you are better than Hogan
