It would only really be a theme of Flair playing the chickenshit pussy if he played that character the whole way through. Chickenshit pussy is supposed to represent his true character under pressure, but it's a bit more nuanced than that. Flair's character isn't a chickenshit though -- not like Honkytonk Man or Lawler in 93 -- he often plays a chicken shit to lull the opponent into a false sense of security (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't), he's buying time and looking for an opportunity. Flair's "true character" is not a chicken shit but a desperate borderline psycho who will do anything. ANY. THING. To keep hold of that title. There is also a third layer (cocky / arrogant strutting heel, which is obviously a front) and a fourth layer (the true blue athlete who will never say die -- yes, that's even there when he's a heel -- even shades of it in Rumble 92). Flair switches between these 4 personalities a lot. But they are always swirling about. Two of them -- the cocky arrogant Slick Rick character and the chicken shit are an act. The other two -- the borderline psycho and the true blue athlete only surface under extreme pressure. I voted for Flair. Now Jerry I think this is such a great and interesting take on Flair. I've heard of the 3 faces of Foley. Now we have the 4 faces of Flair.

Pain Stewart which is a ripoff of Payne Stewart. I loved that gimmick so much just because my brother was the biggest Payne Stewart mark.

I always felt that Duggan and Buzz Sawyer from Mid-South had that legit I hate you vibe.

I thought this was a solid fight. I'm not as high on this as the rest of you are. I thought Jarrett and Travis should take most of the match since they are way higher on the totem pole. I thought Falcone is a serviceable big man. By big I mean for the territory. Torres is useless. Is he Akbar's legit kid or something because he brings nothing to the table and has zero charisma. I also thought it lasted a tad long, and I think I would have liked it as a more compact brawl.

George Scott came before the committee.

Money. Savage knew being programmed opposite Hogan he was going to get more money. Being Hogan's partner means a good pay day. Politically opposing Hulk would have cost him money.
