    The older I become, the more I see how gifted most of these athletes are. Flare is one of the unique talents.

    Love the content ! I work at a breakfast/lunch cafe place and I don't play music for background noise, I like to listen to wresting vids and these long content/ story telling is perfect for it! Plus it's really interesting to see what people getting coffees or bagels who know what I'm listening to or who look at me like true white trash 😂

    Although your stuff has been high quality from the start, this has instantly become one of my favourites. I've heard a lot about his career in various things I've watched or listened to, it's great to have a comprehensive look at his life and career. You could fill 5 hours and still have material to spare. You could argue that Hogan was a great spectacle at the time. Flair was a greater entertainer and created an incredible amount of engagement, come out of a match as a winner or loser and both competitors would still look like the best wrestlers in the world. As I said your stuff is always great but I think you should be particularly proud of this one.

    With the Black Scorpion saying he was from Sting’s past (even saying that they were tag team partners once I believe but not 100% on that) it would’ve been amazing if they brought in Jim Hellwig his original partner from the Blade Runners. To have the Ultimate Warrior be unmasked as the Black Scorpion would’ve been awesome 🦂

    34:03 in the wrestling write up for The Charlotte Observer it say about the AAWW “Before an AAWW writer writes, for example that a Russian is Russian, he or she must conduct an exhaustive search of the wrestlers’s background, checking papers, passports and language. Does the wrestler say “friend” or “comrade”? The AAWW wants to know”. So basically if a wrestler puts on a Russian accent when he talks and when asked do you like say Ric Flair and he responds in a Russian accent “Yes he is my comrade” the AAWW say ”He called him his comrade not his friend, so he’s definitely from Russia. If he was pretending to be Russian by just faking the accent he would’ve called him his friend not comrade” 😂😂 Those writers at the AAWW know their stuff

    Don’t mess with snakes
    Unless it’s Jake
    Bret’s the best to date
    I rest my case.
    You ain’t gotta ask ‘cause yes I’ll take
    My hand and smack those who say wrestling’s fake.
    Underestimate
    And your chest will ache
    When I slam you through a table while you bless the plate.
    As I hit the stunner I got two birds for ya
    If you’re not down with that I got two words for ya…
    Suck it! If not, bite my fist
    I doubt John seen a rapper quite like this.
    I walk down any aisle
    And every person stares
    It’s in my nature boy
    To have a certain flair.
    I’m fly as one-way flights
    And now your wife’s in awe
    She comes on Monday nights
    Because she likes it raw.
    Revere, and fear, the spear, then hear,
    Us cheer, or jeer, when we’re, in here!

    I do not know why they make such a big deal about him being a 16 time World Champ, the reason I say this is because even though wrestlers take pretty good beatings in a way that makes it real , the outcomes are scripted so he was made the champ by the decision of the promoters. Come on I enjoy Wrestling as much as the next guy but I also have common sense.
