I watched this live as a kid, and from the other room my mom said "He's gonna have a heart attack if he keeps yelling like that." She must've been in on the work.

One of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the universe is how ric flair managed to live till his 70s. Honestly thought he was gonna have a heartattack every promo he did. Man was he intense.

[nateflannery]

Flair did all of that and his shirt never came untucked. True Legend.

[rezenking]

"im guna reach down inside your skinny little neck and pull out that heart yo show the world you have no heart" Proceeds to have a heart attack instantly after delivering that line

[williamhaynes]

Flair expends more energy in an interview than there is in most wwe matches.

THE FLIP AROUND THE ROPES WAS EPIC😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

How has Flair been an old man for my entire life lol. I was born in 92 and he was about 45 then!

[SPAZZYok]

Him and Jay Lethal having a "woo" off in TNA was comedy gold.

I bought this live while it happened. I called my buddy Frankie and told him Ric is in trouble. He laughed at me. I was 35 years old

It’s so crazy how real this all seemed back then as a kid growing up in the 90s. The WCW was so different and I’m so glad I got to experience it as a kid.

[billysikes]

When he flipped over the top rope and done the elbow smash on canvas, I almost pissed in my pants lmfao

[emmanuelaidookani]

Flair was the epitome of promos back then
Much love from ghana Africa

[rexsingh]

Quite possibly one of the greatest spectacles of human history.

[DLex]

This was not acting from Flair at this point in time. In an interview, he said he was on xanax, antidepressants and cocaine to cope with the pain his body was experiencing in the ring. Im glad he was able to recover from this as well as the drug addiction.

[ltrrmtv]

There's no quit in this man. What a unit. What a legend.

[jhova]

So glad I grew up in the 90s !!! We were spoiled with entertainment 🥲

[artattackjack]

That moment when your phantom opponent gets sick of your shit and finally fights backs

[mikeyz]

He has always been a good time to watch. Props to the man.

[reliablethreat]

That has to be one of the absolute greatest promos of all time! It went from comedy (Flair wrestling by himself) to an "Oh s**t!" moment when it looked like The Nature Boy was about to kick the bucket! What a ride! 🤣

[hyperjhonnie]

That flip on the turnbuckle though was epic!!😂😂😂
