Ric Flair/ Jay Lethal promo was the only bright spot of his TNA run.

[chikish]

Flair talks about his wrestling regrets the same way a hungover alcoholic talks about the shit they did the night before while blackout drunk. They sound remorseful, but you just know they're going to do it all over again.

[TheFunklin]

LOL. My buddy was the kitchen manager who needed to use the only men's restroom stall at Piesanos in Gainesville only to find Ric Flair in there for half an hour doing blow.

[ismaelgm]

Ric had a literally a storybook ending to his career with Shawn and then the throw it out the Window that is sad

[Cooljohn]

Flair was way, way past his prime wrestling in TNA. His matches were well mediocre at best. He did put Jay Lethal and a few stars over a few times so he wasn't totally selfish.

[BoereViking]

Unpopular opinion:

Ric Flair is the most overrated wrestler ever. In the words of Harley Race: If you've seen one of his matches you've seen them all...

[jasoncoward-aintscared]

How do you book Abyss as the face against AJ?! That is maximum sillyness.

[BryanMason-yxpf]

Flair tarnished his legacy by returned to the ring in TNA! He never met a camera he didn't like

[criminalmindsgirl]

The same thing he did with going to TNA. He did with AEW. Except now, he isn't doing anything since Sting retired. Flair, like Hogan, Bischoff and Russo. Trying to recreate those old WCW days. Especially Flair still wrestling at the age he was

[ApocalypticRenegade]

It's insane to me just how many wrestlers still end up in the business well into their 50's and beyond. It's always just sad to me watching these elderly men abuse their bodies for a crowd of like 1000 people or so. Flair is a particularly bad example though, that last match he had a few years back was genuinely difficult to watch.

[David-iwx]

The Woo-off was stupid. Flair cut a badass promo on Lethal in TNA before that. It was just like one of those hilarious promos he used to do in the late 90's WCW (Like when he was WCW President and Sting repelled down to the ring on the cable, "Sting! Don't be flyin around without tellin anybody!") He must've been making a point about his longevity or something similar because he mentioned how he had crashed in an airplane and then he said he had been struck by lightning (I had never heard him say that before, so I got a good laugh from that one). You could tell he was pouring sweat because his shirt was completely drenched and it was stuck to his chest and stomach. Then he said "There are hospitals around the world that want me to donate my body parts just to see what makes me go." He said that, or something real close to it. Then he told Lethal, "In the world you want to live in, I'm God!" It wasn't on YouTube but a couple days and then it was gone without a trace. Pretty sad. Shawn Michaels' entrance at One Night Only in 97' was on YouTube, but it suffered the same fate. HBK ripped a British Bulldog action figure out of a little kid's hand and then dropped it down into the front of his wrestling tights (presumably the action figure came in contact with Michaels' penis) and then Michaels pulled the toy out of his tights and threw it into the crowd. I thought it was hilarious and a great way to get heat from the crowd in England. Anyways

Feels like you've made 10 videos on this same thing

[iainmiller]

I never got why Ric Flair is so highly rated! So he had the big shiny belt numerous times. Same with Bret Hart and Hogan. But once you've seen some of their matches it's just copy and pasted!

[Itovar]

2:07 why’d he leave that dude hanging 😂

[extremedee]

Nobody was watching ? Dude TNA was getting 1.5 million in rating back then the same as raw on usa. You sound like s TNA hater dude. You mever have anything nice to say about TNA

[leondavidmunozlozano]

You need to accept when to retire...in every aspect of life

[Riz_]

Really nicely done. I love the final line, capped the video off perfectly.

[Cooljohn]

You got a make a Dixie carter video. Trust me I know she was hated running the company in TNA

[georgewilliams]

Flair should have stayed retired after his match against HBK.after that he pretty much embarrassed himself since.

[jasoncoward-aintscared]

Lethal was so good. I hope he made more money than I imagined he would make there.
