This is why I hate seeing him lowering himself by calling out Dutch Mantell 'cuz Dutch said his last match was embarrassing and it was rude for the Dutchman being so callous but Ric should've just ignored it. Naytch started going all 1985 as if he's promo-ing an upcoming match against Magnum. Only you knew he was serious 'cuz he wasn't yelling or 'Woo-ing'. It was a bad look and I was embarrassed more by his reactions to Dutch's remarks then I was to the actual match...which was pretty bad.
@@thack57It wasn't rude of Dutch, and definitely not cruel. You're really worried about him hurting Ric Flair's feelings? Give me a break. Flair put himself out there in that rough of shape and delivered that stinker of a match. Cornette wouldn't even discuss it on his shows, but you can't fault Dutch for simply reviewing the match honestly
Austin passed all hogans records, Austin is the goat. He was even voted superstar of the decade back in 03 or 04 and just cpl years ago was voted greatest of all time.
@@letsgobrandon7297 As much as I like Austin, & he's great, but he ain't the best ever. He was a top draw for the AA sure, but he's not the best all-time.
One of my all time favorite WWF performances was Flair in the ‘92 royale rumble. Was his one chance to face off against everyone..which he did. With special highlight to when piper came charging in. And to top it off Hennan’s legendary performance on commentary. It’s my favorite PPV
Why exactly is he humble? He's not saying that he's not in their league in general, just not in WWE. He says he can't put himself in that league because his time in WWE "was such a small part of my career". He's saying that because he only spent a little over a year in the WWF in 91-very early 93, and then some of his last years actively competing. He's not an all time WWE great, in the ring as a wrestler. He'd have a much different answer if asked who some of the greatest were in JCP/WCW and in the business as a whole
Seeing this man talk out of character and being himself on rogan blew my mind.. he is in terrific shape mentally and it has been awesome to witness his career.. cheers Ric Flair
Lol what did he do? so you call him Legend hahaha he was overrated bro i’ve seen Ric Flair all matches such a boring and slow matches he used to give to audience Randy deserves alot better than Ric
@@Prasanth_Raiyou obviously have no damn idea what you are talking about even JR says some of the best matches in wrestling history were Rick flair vs steamboat people in that industry have said every profession wrestler should study those matches no matter where they are on the roster they could learn something from it.
But he wasn’t the WWF/WWE biggest star or best in ring performer at any point in time that he was in the WWF/WWE. You’re considering his NWA/WCW exploits-which is where he made his name. I won’t deny that Shawn Michaels is probably pound for pound, the best in ring performer. Hogan is the biggest wrestling star ever. He was mainstream and grandmothers knew who he was. Austin was big primarily among wrestling fans when wrestling was at its peak. Austin wasn’t the mainstream superstar that Hogan was. Macho Man was actually bigger than Austin when you consider crossover appeal. The Rock got known by the mainstream from the movies. So they knew him as a movie star who was also a wrestler. The most popular wrestlers ever who mainstream audiences worldwide knew were Hogan, Andre, and Macho Man.
@@westyraviz Nah, in '92-'95 he was top 3. Also he was older then the top guys & still won. Flair's 2nd stint wasn't about him getting another title, Vince wasn't having it. Vince made a habit of trying to down WCW guys but Flair was too big for that. He competed against guys 20+ yrs his junior. NOTHING can be said to unrecognize Flair as the GOAT. Every wrestling company acknowledges him for a reason. Nothing u say will change that, it's ur feelings vs fact.
Facts. He doesn’t give himself enough credit or no one gives him enough credit for putting guys over and the great matches he had, one of the best at taking bumps and making the other wrestlers look good. His daughter is in my top 5 and she is even better than him as a wrestler but match that with his mic skills and charisma he and hogan were always edging each other for that spot for about a decade.
I met Flair in 1992 at a WWF house show at the Cow Palace in SF and shook his hand. EXTREMELY humble man despite his in ring persona, even in his prime.
He really doesn't know how great he was, him, and ricky Steamboat can out work all those guys. They went sixty minutes on a daily basis! Wrestling fans need to know the truth!
Shawn Michaels and Brett Hart i would say are the 2 best in ring performers.. And The Rock we all know he was the most electrifying man in sports entertainment..😂😂 Ric is in both categories no doubt about it
@toby2k75: Austin is the greatest of all time…has merchandise record, ticket sales record, PPV buys record. Voted superstar of the decade back in 03 or 04 and just cpl years ago was voted greatest of all time.
Nobody can touch HBK or The Undertaker's body of work. Especially at the Wrestlemania's throughout the decades as they earned their monikers "Mr. Wrestlemania" and "The Undefeated Streak" as the biggest attractions for the Wrestlemania's they were involved in. They deserve their GOAT Status more than anybody for their consistent longevity in that company.
I would have included The Rock in there as far as biggest stars but with all due respect Ric “woooooo” Flair was a top guy for a long time with some of the best promo work EVER. Kudos to those that brought up Ricky Steamboat as a worker too, his WM3 match against Macho Man as a gold standard and Flair v Dusty Rhodes going all night long were classics too. Golden eras of Wrestling
Flair is my all-time goat of goats.He traveled the territories,and wrestled every big name in the business.Sometimes he had to wrestle twice.1hr.matches a piece.That's unreal for today's performers.
All of these men are my legends, Rick, Hulk Hogan, Hacksaw Jim Dugan, Rody Piper, Super Fly Snooka, Andre the Giant, Ultimate Warrior, Coco Beware, Man the list goes on… I gotta say, I just watched the Rick Flehr movie and cried so hard… I did not know he son died 😢May God continue to bless Rick and his family…❤❤
Agreed. Nobody but nobody but nobody could touch his selling .. both comical and serious manners. But rock sold stunners best and flair w his signature sells.
Macho Man is in a class of his own! The true total package! I don’t Ric would give Randy his flowers though. He always seems like he has some hidden shade toward him.
Love you till I die....However, forgot the Rock. First saw you at Maple Leaf Garden against valentine, 70's. Cried when you were bleeding. And loved you since Wooooo
@@oldskoolwrestlingtv The Rock was better in ring, Jericho was better in ring, Bret Hart was better in ring as far as being technically sound, Rob Van Dam was better in ring, Ricky steam boat, Rey Mysterio. Michael's never really was a big draw as a wwe champion so I never understood the obsession with him
Come on Ric. We all know the only answer to this question is "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the greatest superstar of them all? Why it's you, Nature Boy Ric Flair!"
Dude you the Greatest wrestler and in ring performer and promo speaker, you put so many folks over! Stop being modest everyone knows! The documentary was All that! Wooooo!
It's crazy to think he had a match before all of them in 1974 (& if you include his training days even earlier) & then had a match after all of them in 2023.
He’s right. They asked for the best WWF/E superstar. Most of Ric’s success came under NWA/WCW. He proved he could hang in the WWF in 1992 though, but never had another run there in his prime.
@@TEAMRED305 you never watched him in his prime in the nwa, hour long matches with steamboat and other greats, you just weren't exposed to it. You saw late flair with same set moves every time.

Shawn was indeed the best in that ring. That guy might have been an as***le outside that ring in the intial run but when he worked in that ring..man it looked like an art. I am lucky I grew as a fan watching his second run when he came back in 2004-05. I saw his run as the face of wwf later. Ric chose hbk as his retirement match.. God that matcj was an instant classic at wm24.
Much as I like watching Michaels. Bret was by far the best wrestler ever in Ring even undertaker gave the credit to Bret. Hogan didn't have balls to wrestle Bret lol.
Of course he didnt mention the Rock. The guy that carried the industry on his back and lead the attitude era for years AND got one the best movie careers as a result becoming the most successful wrestler ever.
Yeah u are definitely 100% doped out. Why u people that knows nothing makes comments acting like u know everything is beyond me. STONE COLD has all the records.

Damn didn’t even mention the Rock… c’mon Ric…..
Or John Cena 🤯
No Austin and Hogan are by far the biggest stars
Or Cena
The GREATEST WRESTLER OF ALL TIMES IS RICK FLAIR!
Hulk Hogan style and energy was next level
We love you wooooooo Ric Flair
Rick Flair being truly humble but fact is he is a GOAT
What about The Rock? Austin was better than Hogan! The Rock and Under Taker were too!
Best In-Ring performers:
1. Shawn Michaels
2. Brett Hart
3. Kurt Angle
4. Rick Flair
5. AJ Styles
Flair is the goat 🐐 tho he brought class and style to the sport
He did The Rock dirty... Damn.
Well to be fair, Rock was Macho, Austin was Hogan for their era.
@meng1566: That’s a pretty good comparison.
And Cena
Don't forget Rock & Bret WOOOOO
Facts
YEs
John Cena too
He doesn't like Bret.
That’s why he’s the Man !!
Thus is why Ric Flair is Very Special 🎉🎉
As far as biggest stars I think Dwayne The Rock Johnson kind of takes the cake
Ric don't like the rock LOL😂
Cena never gets mentioned and it’s disrespectful. Carried the company on his back for years after the Attitude Era and is still probably the WWE’s biggest draw to this day.
@@JayJopeexactly he was after the attitude era, he wouldn't of been too tier with those guys.
The rock is bigger now, not back then.
@@brianbabin6333 😂 yeah that shit happens mate.
Shawn Michaels is an excellent answer everything is arguable but that guy was the shit for sure
He's so modest. He's the reason I love wrestling to this day. When I Was a young Boy.
He was larger than life and he still It is to me Woo.
Ric Flair will always be The Man. ❤
In NWA WCW .WWF ./WWE TNA.❤
Shawn is 2nd to NONE..... THE GREATEST to do it..... THE HEART BREAK KID
The Rock, isn’t one of the biggest stars?
Hollywood/WWE….two different things.
I’d still put him top 7. Maybe top 5.
@@letsgobrandon7297 I remember as a kid the rock being the face of wrestling before he went to Hollywood.
@greatbuilder100: Not the face of wrestling, the babyface of wrestling cause Austin retired and the rock stayed a little longer. He would broke Austin’s records had he been a bigger star in wrestling.
The Nature Boy is wrestling prozonified! He is flamboyant and charismatic. I enjoyed being one of his admirers.❤
Wow, I never thought I'd see a humble Ric Flair. Way be Nature Boy!
