Vader( RIP) One of My Favorite Big Men in Wrestling.

[@michaelmidax8108]

I miss Vader. Very honest, open & truthful guy. Most of us men would never admit we got messed up a bit, especially not by someone shorter & lighter than us. So for him to confirm parts of Ric's story bcz it did actually happen...my hats off to you, Van. R.I.P Vader

[@Mackdez]

Yeah I believe Vader do to Flair lies or embellishes a lot and it's not the first time Vader has fed people his face.

[@urcookin]

Vader getting pissed in the Middle East during that interview with Taker was one of those things you never forget.

[@Natescoop8800]

Vader let him , you have to be a dummy,if u think vadar wouldn't murder flair your a bigger idiot than ric

[@MrPriceless]

Scott Steiner "you know" was driving me insane 😂😂😂

[@REVKOEHLER]

You know you are a true wrestling fan if you sat here and listened to 90 minutes of Flair stories. I found this quite enjoyable and interesting, as there is rarely a medium no opinion answer. In Wrestling, you get two ends of extremes. Either Flair is Great and appreciated or he's a Horses Ass and a backstabber. Personally, if I met him in my wild days while he was a horseman, I would have bought him a few rounds. In my older years, he just gets respect for what he did for the business.

Flair had his faults but he definitely carried a lot of guys in the ring and he knew how to promote the business.

[@Natescoop8800]

He was trash besides promos

[@darylmixan8170]

​@nathanwendoloski4737 I disagree... Flair could get anybody over... and he was a rare wrestler that could get his ass beat, cheat, or get beat fair and square and still be on top.

[@BiscoWho]

How was Richard at the things that ACTUALLY matter, such as being a father and being a husband? And just listen to him still to this day. He talks like all that childish crap is so cool. He has refused to grow up and be a man and it's seriously the most pathetic thing, listening to him talk these days. I can't stand when people who interview him act like it's so cool that he's in his 70s, has always been a very poor and very absent father, has always been a womanizing piece of trash, and has never been able to maintain any friends throughout his life. He's still a drunk too and he acts like that's cool too. I'd love to know where all the mature adults in this world went. When I was growing up the adults were mostly mature and they had morals. They didn't just accept garbage, immature, and immoral behavior out of other adults. People would actually speak up right away.

I had never actually seen Honky Tonk in a live/local or taped match and I can honestly say the guy is a great performer based on just what my grandparents and uncles have always told me about the man, so--just tell him, he draws respect from a youngin' If Jake the Snake still likes you after REALly smacking him with a guitar,, that speaks volumes.

He talked about the guitar incident and blamed himself. Even though it wasn’t his fault for giving him that guitar. He knew right away it wasn’t right and he talked about it on YT.

[@steveshubert]

Thank you so much for sharing these with us. Strange as it may sound, I'm not so much interested in stories about Ric Flair as much as I just like seeing some of the guys from what was one of my favorite times in wrestling. I have to give major, major props to these guys because I realize NOW just how talented they were in their business: Tully Blanchard and Larry Zbysko were two guys that I hated with a passion and fantasized about getting in the ring and beating their faces in...and seeing them now as "regular working guys", I have to sheepishly laugh at myself and give props to how well they portrayed their in-ring personas. Seeing so many of these guys from the heyday of NWA - those sweet two-hour Saturday TV studio jobber segments! - as "real people" is something that is absolutely awesome to me; I've sat here and laughed and stared at so many of them. Thank you again for sharing these interviews with us, and thanks to all the guys who were willing to share their stories of what life was actually like behind the ring.

[@madbrowniac7871]

Steve: There is an amazing Aptermag photo from back in the day if you can find the Magazine that it was published in. Believe it or not in 2022 in this snapshot a very young and thoroughly corporate AWA interviewer Eric Bischoff blandly offers the Mic to the customarily yammering Larry Zbyszko as AWA Champ. Larry Z.'s Tag Team partner Tully Blanchard glares into the camera with smug disregard. Two things to keep in mind: Zbyszko later teamed with Arn Anderson to win The WCW Tag Team Championships (giving Anderson and Blanchard yet another common partner). And most incredible of all having been a Heel since he hit Bruno Sammartino with a chair Zbyszko actually turned Face against eventual NWO boss Bischoff!🤔😂🤣😮🎤🐴💎🤼‍♂️B.W.

Yes there is no traveling World champion anymore other than the ones for one company like WWE who don't help out the local compaines.

[@midwayployboy]

@@TheHannibalTV Even before when it was Bruno and Race, the NWA was always the real world champ because Bruno was mostly northeast and Race like Flair, traveled all over. Wwwf just never seemed like true world champion. Guess it depends on where you grew up as to which title you consider world champion. I grew up in southeast, in South Carolina, so I saw Flair win his first title, mid atlantic.

I love all these stories but the one Disco Inferno told with how everyone first Wrestling Flair is in amazement. It's incredible because he's so great but such a character.

[@stevemartineau7706]

I just got done listening to Gary Harts version of this story, and he was Al's manager at that time. He said since this match was in Florida and Al had all his family there that night, Al went to the booker and told him straight out he was shooting on flair that night and was going to pin him for the title. I forgot who the booker was, but the booker went and told Gary what Al said he was going to do and told Gary to go and talk to Al and straighten it out. When Gary went to Al and asked if this was true, Al said it sure was and he wasnt going to change his mind. Gary begged him to please dont do this but he wasnt going to change his mind. So what happened was, come match time, Gary didnt come out to ringside so because Gary didnt come out, they made an announcement saying this match wouldnt take place because in the contract, Gary had to be at ringside for this match and since he didnt come out, the match was cancelled and Flair ended up wrestling someone else. Gary was pissed because although he really liked Al and was his manager, there was no way he was going to double cross Ric, a guy he said he loved!! Just got done hearing this from Gary himself from his book so Al Perez is lying right here. To bad because i was also a big fan of Al's work.

[@PittsburghAfterDark]

You have some of this right. Al was going to shoot on Flair by stretching him out, he told Kevin Sullivan (The booker.) who took it back to Gary Hart, Crockett was the promoter but Sullivan handled it. Gary told him not to do it since it wasn’t how business is done. Al refused to listen to him. Gary told the office what was going to happen and they told him to stay home and they’d take care of it. They fired him in the ring due to exactly what you said, Gary Hart no showed the event as per instructed by Crockett. They had security, not kayfabe security, real security, take Perez out of the match and he was immediately fired. Eddie Gilbert was the substitute for the championship match. Al Perez was a lose cannon, he threaten to break Sting’s legs because he viewed him as a complete prima donna and every wrestler not named Flair as his personal jobber. You’re not going to go far in wrestling intentionally hurting top of the card wrestlers and champions.

Billy Graham says Ric Flair couldn't understand why Hogan was so popular. He had captured the country's attention because he was larger than life and was the right guy at the right place at the right time. Hogan was 6'7'' with the "24 inch pythons" (even if exaggerated); he had a decent mainstream "All American" rap during the time when Reagan was popular. He was featured in Rocky 3 with Sylvester Stallone. Plus Hogan was the marquee guy for the WWF when Vince McMahon wanted to sew up the whole country into his wrestling/media machine.

Let’s play a drinking game. Every time Scotty Steiner says “ya know” or “you know” at 13:30 to 15:10, everybody’s gotta take a shot.

Hogan was the biggest gemic I've ever seen. Fliar was the greatest wrestler of his era.

[@arochelle9074]

[@chadmonk163]

But Hogan generated alot of the more money than Flair. I am wrestling fan and huge NWA fan but Vince knew how to run a business in the 80's the Crockets did not that is why they sold it to Turner than WCW went on to lose the wrestling war to Vince with bad management and Time Warner merger

[@BIGGLOUPR]

Many held grudges against The Nature Boy becuz of the booking committee decisions....cuz there was different individuals involved with the booking committee such as Mike Graham,Bill Dundee,Bill Watts and I think Jim Ross was in there also....I'm pretty sure it was a majority vote...I highly doubt 🧐 what Ric Flair said went ...when it came to the booking committee 🤔🎯🤷

[@harolddaniels7883]

All the interviews talking about how they "survived" the partying, they all pointed out that they didn't miss workouts, or cardio. I know then the "roid" thing was a "thing", but the fact that they had territories, where they could even out the partying, is plausible.

[@paullindstrom7635]

Smart marks loved Flair. The traditional old style NWA fans. Hogan was big with the Johnnie come lately fans. The people who only can name one rassler.

[@paullindstrom7635]

That's one way to look at it. There is no denying Hogan drew more money at his peak than anyone. Flair drew in different territories and international markets. No disrespect but I surmise that I have probably been observing the business longer.

[@paullindstrom7635]

So who do you think was good ?

[@paullindstrom7635]

Hogan did well for a very short time in Japan. Let's not forget how Hogan went to WCW and was falling on his face. The bookers had to turn him heel on Hall and Nash's coattails to get him over. Because his in ring ability was so limited his time had passed. You can only watch about 20,000 leg drops before it gets old.

21:39. Teddy Long once stated on Kayfeb commentary that Ric Flair called him the N word and did not like him. So I believe Dundee when he said Flair was using the N word

I think given the nature of the wrestling business none of your old favorites are ever going to be squeaky clean. They’ve all done bad shit at one point or another just like most humans.

Ron Garvin vs Ric Flair matches were epic, especially the night Garvin won the belt, but Ron never carried over to the people so he dropped the belt back.
