Here is Flair and Steamboat from 1978:
Ric Flair, is Awesome/Appreciation Thread
This might be the most memorable NWA moment. I love how the guys pretend to sound shocked:
"They're not part of the NWA...."
"They don't even wrestle here...."
Tony Schiavone loves to say "carnage in the ring."

Ah what a fantastic thread! All the memories of Space Mointain, The Game, Hulkster, Bret the Hitman, Macho Man and all of them! As an big MMA fan lots of them hate professional wrestling since it ain't real, but what they don't get is that it's the unpredictability and varying emotions that makes pro wrestling what it is!
I haven't been watching for about a decade, but I'll always cherish the 1993-2001 era of pro wrestling. Even the MMA guys must admit that the effectiveness of pro wresting antics are the reason Conno McGregor is doing so well right now! 5th fight only with the UFC and made 150K. Only the big elite guys go over 100k in MMA, and it normally takes years.

Interesting fact: Ric Flair used to be 300lbs with short brown hair. Google "early ric flair" or "ric flair fat" for pics. You can tell it's him by the facial features but the difference is striking

i guess it sort of looks like flair, but barely even recognizable.

I just came across this video, Cam’ron Tells 13-Year-Old Girl He Isn’t Her Uncle! "Your Mom Used To Suck Our D**k!"
At the end he say the Ric Flair Line
Ric Flair can't help that he's CUSTOM MADE!
"...that's the World Champion!"
"...that's the World Champion!"

Yes. The Triple Threat match between Lesnar, Cena, and Rollins was amazing. The Rumble it self was alright. I was disappointed they gave it to Reigns, but oh well. I was thinking Daniel Bryan would get it this year.
Rollins is my dude though.

Rollins is great (the entire Shield as well). I want to see Reigns succeed, but the execution has been terrible. I'd have Rollins and Ambrose main event WrestleMania.

I also like everyone in the shield and agree they are mishandling him. He works great when he doesn't have to do much speaking. He's just the quiet badass, not the second coming of Cena which is what Vince wants him to be. I think the main event of Mania should be Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan. Bryan never lost the title; he had to give it up, so he should be back fighting for it.
