The End of Ric Flair

[Kang]

lol, was more than a year ago. And yeah, how dumb was that!

Seriously though I don't hate it, I just can't get myself to watch it anymore. I already said this in another thread we had here a few weeks ago, but ever since the raw/sd split wwe sucked. It just became unbearable lately.

I agree WWE sucks, TNA sucks (though to me, it sucks a little less than WWE so I watch it primarily). If you want good wrestling, its best to stick with Japan and Mexico. If you want good American wrestling, buy Ring of Honor tapes.

You make it sound like I think everything in the WWE is real, just like Mayweather standing a snowball's chance in hell against BigShow

I saw the commercial a few days ago. Had a hearty lol at the part where Bigshow puts his hand up to Mayweather's face and it's easily close to the same size.

Fight was possibly the worst form of entertainment I've seen in recent memory, jesus. Even the crowd was relatively quiet throughout the whole shitfest. It's on google if anyone wants to waste 12 minutes.

I kind of lost interest in the actual matches a couple of years ago... I was primarily watching raw, and primarily watching it for the storyline (I had a break but when dx came back I watched for a while until both of them got injured >.>, then it got boring again.)

I used to watch TNA back when it was on PPV (yay irc), but i've lost interest since it they moved to spike and actually got a tv slot.
Guess I just outgrew it... I did enjoy it a lot when I was younger though.

TNA's early X Division matches on the weekly ppv's is what kept them alive during the early years. Sadly, that's not their focus anymore. WWE is trying to get back on the right track but not with John Cena, everyone hates him. The writers need to stop trying to make him look cute in his promos. That's not how the fans came to cheer for him in his original thug heel run with B2.

[Exoduso]

Cena isn't as cool as he was like 4-6 years ago, he's just annoying now. Most of the wwe roster is annoying, mainly why they're not interesting anymore. That and they kept reusing storylines from like 2004 when I stopped watching, it was like watching the same shit with different characters.

[terranova]

Flair is like 53-55 years old. If he's smart he will stay out of the ring. With a career like his, where he has fought the best and been through all the worst types of matchs, his body is just dying for some rest and long term healing.

[Rakiel]

Bye Ric, thanks for the entertainment (even though I stopped watching wrestling years ago) :D


...and thanks for the Figure 4 leglock, my little sister LOVED that shit when we were in elementary school

Shawn Michaels pulled the trigger on the legacy of Ric Flair last night, pinning him 1,2,3 for the final time.

Just like the other 12 final times right?

Wrestling is like comic books, and owen hart is bucky (or was bucky since that rule changed the second even bucky came back).

You make it sound like I think everything in the WWE is real, just like Mayweather standing a snowball's chance in hell against BigShow

anywho, great man, one of those guys that you'd love to see in real life. i'd probably never wash my hand if he shook it.

Flair is awesome, I got my pic taken with him last year (he was at best buy in NY for an autograph signing of one of his movies - which i have signed too IF YOU WANNA WALK THAT AISLE, YOU GOTTA STYLE AND PROFILE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uncle Ben.

Well, considering how One More Day went... I don't know anymore.

He is still dead.

WHEEL'N DEAL'N, KISS STEAL'N, LIMOSINE RIDE'N SON OF A GUN!!

[Akiyama]

Man, I hope to god this isn't some early April Fools' joke and he's just going to come back later. He was great and all, but jesus. He's so old and I'm happy he's hanging up the tights/boots. He was great for the "sport", but there comes a time when you just need to stop.

[Selamis]

He's done. For months he had been giving it consideration, and talked to Vince about making it into a storyline. He planned all along to go out at Wrestlemania and wanted HBK to do it. HBK for the longest time refused and finally gave in and agreed to be the one to end the career. If you watched the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, you could see how emotional Flair was when he talked about his legacy and how he wished he could have wrestled Triple H for the title when he was at his best. I never really like Flair, but gotta give the man credit, he could perform with the best of them, and was damn entertaining on the mic.

[Daahan]

Wrestling sucks now compared to what it used to be, but that wrestlemania was pretty fun to watch.

WWE is also probably going to be successful for a very long time, even though aren't as successful now as they used to be. There will always be young kids that will be in to it and you'll always have those people that have been watching it since they were kids. If you ever go to a live event, lots of the people there don't even watch wrestling, but they only go because they watched it when they were kids too.

[Yangsing]

How old is Ric Flair now? 60?

[Vedder]

That's a Carolina Hurricanes Goal!!! Woooo woooo woooo!!!!

Yeah, those of us that go see the Canes at the Big ATM won't be missing out on Ric Flair.

Now I don't watch wrestling much anymore, but damn Flair was one of the best in the industry. You will be missed.

The best at what? Acting?

So to all the anti wrestling people... why do you insist on the effort of trying to convince us wrestling folk we shouldn't watch what we love?

Its not like I go and tell you to quit playing FFXI because you guys are all nerds LOL. So leave me and my wrestling alone just like I can't convince someone to leave FFXI you can't convince wrestling fans that what we watch is stupid.

You like what you want to like, but "the end of Ric Flair" is hilarious. You damn well know he's coming back eventually like every other retirement match. It's the wrestling fans that are trying to convince people, not the other way around.
