To Be The Man #1 | Ric Flair vs Sting | Clash of the Champions I

[@robertabishola1895]

Love the new format guys. It's good to hear Ric being able to expand on his comments without being stepped on. Ric don't ever forget; you were the man, you are the man, and you will always be the man! There is no substitute!

[@BEEFSERPENT]

5 min and it's already better than all the previous shows with motormouth madden

[@brainhakker7133]

I watched the other show and I certainly don't give a Single Shit about the Madden Fat ass but Flair is Obviously Sober in this and isn't making it a point to be difficult and interrupt at every opportunity.

[@kvltovborg]

Amen to that!

[@davidmcconnell683]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davemartin4183]

so much better than the last podcast. Now we all can enjoy sitting under the learning tree and listen to the legend

[@MIXEDMADNESS]

This match came on when I was eight, I instantly became a Sting fan. Clash 88 was the start to my wresting fandom, respect for Ric for endorsing the Stinger. Legends.

[@markwilliams984]

Looking good conrad and naitch. The show worked well hope it goes on to great things.

[@brainhakker7133]

"Looking good" ...... WHAT ??? Lmfao >_< dude looks like a wax sculpture of Flair that was left out in the Sun for Six Hours and Kicked in The Face by Bruce LeeRoy !

[@willamahrens538]

I was 12 when this match took place, and it definitely get Sting over in my mind at the time. Amazing how well Ric Flair's matches hold up all these decades later.

[@jameswest4259]

I gotta say I prefer Ric and Conrad together, Conrad always does a great job on all the podcasts and Ric is forever THE MAN Wooo!! I've been a fan since the 80's Ric and I gotta say, I never thought I'd hear you talk about smoking weed..lol 🤘

[@TheRealMightyHokie]

I absolutely love this. I find it so fascinating to hear Ric's take on this. When I was watching this live I could not have imagined in a million years hearing Flair's take on the non-kayfabe things going on. Also, my wife bugged Ric's agent and got her to have Ric call me on my 40th b-day. He was at a South Carolina game and having a great time but took the time to call me. He talked to me for 10 minutes and it, as my wife says, was a gift that will never be topped. Three notes on the conversation... - I made sure I referred to him as "Ric", "Champ", and "Naych". - He told me at the end of the call "To be the man...well if you don't know the rest by the time you're 40 you'll never get it." I loved that. - I told him that I had sworn if I ever got to talk to him I would ask about the "Hat/Robe" angle with Blackjack Mulligan. It was ASTOUNDINGLY impactful and shocking for me and my friends. He talked about it a bit and said that of all the angles from the Crockett promotion that is the one he is asked about the most. It was amazing. Thanks for the great birthday gift, Naych.

[@ironcrosstrainingltd6482]

Sting is my all time favorite!! Thanks for helping along the way Ric.

[@thechairman74]

So cool to watch this, as I remember Sting when he was in that 6 man tag match at Starrcade. I'd only just started NWA that year, our local channel started showing Worldwide, I think. Finally was able to go to a show at the old Philadelphia Civic Center with Sting and Luger against the Roadies.

[@ALIAN18]

Great show. Headphones with a microphone huge improvement. Conrad having a conversation with Ric about classic shows Ric lived. More comfortable chat than sports talk format of previous podcast

[@josecarlosgarciaii2420]

My first podcast was woooo nation. It's a full circle feeling. "Good to be home.". -Ric Flair

[@10dev785]

i just remember this time period and the era...Wrestling was not eay to see back in those times. So when you were able to watch them, it was important and necessary

[@christopher7952]

Ric,your a man's man. You kept a promise to sting

[@kalania14]

Aloha Nature Boy. Been a big fan since the early 70s. Love and Aloha from the islands.

[@Pollard_jono]

This was brilliant

[@nathanielfincher4394]

Everytime Ric Flair says "does that make sense" or when Conrad says "context and innuendo" take a shot. This would surely even put RF down with alcohol poisoning.

[@marctommolino774]

Agreed. …Does that make any sense?

[@nobleone89]

People who say “does that make sense” often after statements have anxiety and other confidence issues and they assume their statements aren’t coming out coherently. I do it a lot, too.

[@jeremywilliams8160]

It's immediately apparent that Conrad doesn't interrupt and talk over Ric like Mark constantly did.

[@rustykuntz94]

I couldn’t even listen to the Flair podcasts with Madden after awhile. If he wasn’t just insufferably sucking up to Naitch (as much as we all love him the ass kissing Mark did was beyond annoying) he was trying to get himself over.

[@gypsymorning8558]

Because Flair answered "I don't know" to everything.

[@jeremywilliams8160]

@@gypsymorning8558 I agree that Ric needed prodding for meaningful answers. Maybe that goes to show that Ric and Mark didn't have a good dynamic.

[@brainhakker7133]

Ric was ALWAYS Drunk and the Internet connection they had Lagged Constantly so when Ric would stop and Madden would start , Then Ric would start talking again .... it was Insufferable !!

[@TheeCoachg]

This is a money grab for Ric but I dont mind 😂😂😂😂😂 Conrad is already better than Madden because he’s telling a cohesive story and letting Ric fill in the strong parts.Ric is not Bruce Prichard or Jim Cornette who can just fly off the wall with any question. Conrad understands the podcast game.

[@markwilliams984]

You're spot on bro couldn't agree more.👍👍

[@ALIAN18]

Conrad got Ric earphones with a mic and a better background. Old show was sports talk about new stuff. Ric seems more comfortable conversational about classic stuff he lived.

[@rustykuntz94]

It’s not hyperbole, this match is an all timer. I was only 11 almost 12 at this time in 88 but even then I knew Sting was the man after this. On the fast track to be the #1 company babyface for years to come.

[@wolfcrewe7474]

This was the match that got me into old school wrestling/Ric Flair. I grew up in the attitude era and was a WWF guy, but when I started watching NWA I was as hooked. Much prefer the southern style, especially this match, I was enthralled from start to finish unlike any match before.

[@rustykuntz94]

@@wolfcrewe7474 Agree and while I’m a New Yorker born and bred once I was introduced to JCP/NWA (WCW) I became a even bigger wrestling fan as a kid. All I knew in 1985/86/87 was WWF and loved it but after stumbling onto TBS sometime in mid to late 87 and saw Flair and Dusty, etc I was addicted. Watched both promotions back and forth into the Monday Wars era. I really haven’t paid much attention since the mid 2000s and def went out for good after the Benoit fiasco as he was one of my all Time favorites back then along with Sting and Bret Hart that just disillusioned me but will never get tired of re watching and talking about the old school years.

[@BEEFSERPENT]

i would argue that jr and tony didn't hit their peak until the late 90s and if excrement would stfu and lay out more than jr and tony could def get their shine on again too

[@Gary828]

he's 73 now; guarantee if he was still 40 he'd be a great podcaster.

[@RobPalmer80]

Let's hope Ric doesn't throw another hissy fit and the podcast gets cancelled after 18 episodes. I might be in the minority here, but I actually like Mark Madden. It's such a shame that a 30 + year friendship came to an end due to someone who is as temperamental as Ric can sometimes be.

[@jbtornado]

Ric will mess this up with Conrad.. Its not if but when...

[@curtisburgdrof8618]

I though greatest match 1988 period

[@erikchamberlain4076]

I love how Bret says he was wrestling at a faster pace in the 80s when the reality if he wrestled this pace he’d of blown up 20min in.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Bret's specialty is to overrate everything he did, he can't accept the fact that his best run was as a tag team wrestler and was one of the worst WWF champion of all time.

[@patale1640]

@@jonathanturbide2232 He was a great hand and a worked a really good technical heel style like Regal or Billy Robinson, but you are right as the featured talent he made people turn the channel to nitro.

That's a little harsh. I personally never liked him as the WWF champ. I thought he was great as the Intercontinental holder.

I see second that notion. Conrad the con and Ric the womanizing pick both together again. Match made in heaven. Can't wait for all the frequent adds that interrupt the program. I pay for KZbin Red to avoid this shit. Flair is a prime example of a once in a lifetime wrestler who has done nothing but show how he is no role model for anyone. All shameful through and through as time goes on. Garbage human at this point.
