The End of Ric Flair

[Marcicus]

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

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

Protip: they're actors, you shithead

Edit: @ Norelco, GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHARLES

Didn't I say not too long ago...you know what, nevermind.

and yeah, I had to watch that video a few times to figure out what the hell Michaels was saying.

[Tajin]

Mexico wrestling sucks too

[terranova]

Have'nt seen this RoH, but as it stands both TNA and WWE suck because they are trying to 1UP each other by rehashing old plots from one another :/.

How old is Ric Flair now? 60?

Not yet but close.

[Hitoshura]

lol... yeah the end of flair, for another 6 months until people forget about this match and then they bring him back again.

WWE is stupid.

Flair won't be coming back. This is the Nature Boy. Ric Flair has too much respect for wrestling to go back on his word. He's not a bullshitter and glory hog like Hulk Hogan has been through out his entire career. Flair is a class act.

It was a pleasure to see all those people come out to congratulate Ric on his glorious career and it was a special touch to see the second incarnation of the Four Horsemen come out.

This ones for you Ric.

WOOOOOO!

What are you 10?

I know you will I/M me again to bitch about this later, but again; you are the last person who needs to criticize someone who probably grew up watching Flair and the other greats, when you are currently on the nuts of a 3rd rate RPG, and other shitty games that a 10 year old would be as interested in.

Anyway I saw the farewell last night on Raw, it was really good. I was really shocked at the Horsemen coming out. It's too bad Benoit or Curt Henning couldn't live to make it.

Although it was one of the nice moments this.. still makes me lol.

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.

I completely agree, nothing today or recent holds a candle to ECW. I can't believe they still air that garbage on Sci Fi of all channels. I bet the wrestlers that draw the shitty straws are at the point of committing suicide.

The best at what? Acting?

Yeah? Performing. It's all about giving that feeling of excitement that wrestling is about. People who hate on wrestling don't understand not everyone who likes it is 10 and lives in a fantasy world. I stopped watching it awhile ago, but it had nothing to do with being "real", rather I no longer felt it anymore(probably due to poor writing/characters).

Didn't WCW do an angle where Flair faked a heart attack?

[Selamis]

I remember that, but I think it was real. He was in the middle of strutting and bouncing around off the ropes and then just dropped in the middle of his promo with Mean Gene. I'd hope he wasn't faking it at least...

Rick was the man, not better than Mr perfect, but he was great.

Ric's busy doing this Woo....

[Senoska]

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.

I'm a huge Wrestlling fan

Avid watcher since I was 3 years old (1983)

I have seen every Wrestlemania, seen wrestlers come and go, have suffered through re-hash of the same storyline/plot twiist for over 20+ years, yet I still watch wrestlling cause its become a hobby almost

I understand some of the people posting here don't appreciate "Sports Entertainment", but why post in a thread when your view towards the topic is already objectively askewed

Ric Flair did entertain me with his antics/wrestling/persona, its isn't written in stone that he is fully retired, I do believe Flair would like to do other things, venture out, and then comeback and do something with-in the WWE
Most likely he has retired from full-time commitment of wrestling, maybe further down the line do "Special" matches, but mostly Flair's experience will be used either to teach new-commers, or be a commentator (great verbage/mic skills), or maybe be a manager/booker backstage

I commend Flair for sticking with a profession that in the latter years has dire effects on the body
Even if you detest "Wrassling" or "Sports Make-Believe", gotta give Flair credit for sticking around, and keep people entertained for 35+ years
You cant say this man doesn't deserve any praise due to his profession, but for people who enjoy this kind of release, to me it feels like we lost 1 of the greats

The way WWE handled the retirement angle was pro/class, nice to see a profession Thank a pioneer who gave it his all
