Pusha T calls upon the voice of Ric Flair for an unlikely pairing but accurate depiction of “What Dreams Are Made Of.” Of course, we fully support any rap tracks that include references to Ric Flair, especially when a “whoo” is tossed in for good measure. Read the rest of this entry »

– Shawn Michaels is the greatest in-ring performer I’ve ever seen. Read the rest of this entry »
176.
That’s the combined age of the three men in the ring for the main event of Impact Wrestling’s latest broadcast. Sting and Ric Flair used to have the greatest rivalry in all of wrestling…and they’ve also essentially had the same match on repeat for the last 25 years. Read the rest of this entry »
What separates the classier, more elegant art form known as professional wrestling from barbaric “sports” like MMA fighting or football is the focus on awesome promos. Wrestlers become distinguishable based as much on their ability to come up with catchy phrases and engage the crowd. Read the rest of this entry »

After my top dog bombarded me with trivial unnecessities from the Untold History of the WWE for 15 minutes straight over the phone, I figured I had to check out what he dubbed “the best magazine ever.” One ‘rillo later, I was elongating my raspy dialogue like Randy Savage in agreement. Not only did this Encyclopedia Hitanica of Wrestling bring back great memories, it enlightened me to a few missed moments from periods I was too young to remember. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a great day in America. Obama gave a monumental speech last night in front of Congress while New Orleans streets were flooded with beads and parade floats. And there can only be one reason for the hoopla:
You guessed it folks, it’s the Nature Boy Ric Flair’s 60th Birthday.
While we usually reserve the birthday shoutouts and Stevie song for Crew members, we’re going to make an exception and salute an American Icon that gets mentioned so much on this site that he might as well be honorary Crew.
To celebrate, here are five reasons Ric Flair is the greatest human being to walk the face of the earth.
5. The Flair Flop — Naitch has been Flair floppin’ for nearly 30 years and it never ceases to be hilarious. The premise is simple: man punches flair in the corner and Ric takes about three steps in no particular direction then falls flat on his face. Priceless. Read the rest of this entry »

Anyone who knows me (or has seen my gravatar) knows that my life’s goal is to one day obtain a fraction of the awesomeness Ric Flair holds in his right pinky. Even though Flair retired about eight months ago after a great match at WrestleMania, his legend only continues to grow in my eyes.
This past Friday, cops were called to a parking lot in Chapel Hill when Ric Flair got into a fight with his daughter’s boyfriend, who is roughly forty years his junior. That’s not the best part, though. Read the rest of this entry »

When I was checking out the comments on the Wale post from last week, I noticed folks were seemingly out of nowhere sounding off on some nostalgic wrestling moments and characters. As the resident “wrasslin’” fanatic (still watch RAW every single Monday), I decided to help you guys scratch that wrestling itch with a few great DVDs that’ll bring back some great memories.
The Ultimate Ric Flair DVD and Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen
Ric Flair is simply the greatest wrestler to ever walk inside the ring. He hops on the mic and gives absolutely laugh out loud interviews and puts on amazing matches. His Four Horsemen clique was as badass as it gets. The Four Horsemen DVD is a wonderful documentary that explains the group dynamic and what made these guys great. The Ric Flair DVD is moreso a collection of great matches with video of Flair’s promos hyping the events. The Flair DVD features hour long (!!!) matches against Barry Windham and Ricky Steamboat. The gem for anyone feeling nostalgic is the 1992 Royal Rumble in which Flair entered 3rd and lasted an hour to win. The match features the greatest collection of wrestlers in one ring ever: Flair, Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Macho Man, Mr. Perfect etc. Each entrant will bring back a new childhood memory.
Shawn Michaels: Heartbreak and Triumph
If Flair is the best wrestler ever, Michaels is widely regarded as right behind him. This DVD is actually an inspirational documentary for wrestling and non-wrestling fans alike as it outlines a performer who fought with personal demons and drug use, while handling the pressure of being the go-to guy for WWE when all the stars left for more money. After a four year absence due to a broken back, Michaels found God, kicked the drugs and returned to the ring. Probably the only wrestling documentary you can watch with the wifey.
