March 14, 201114 yr Author comment_5467266 Ric Flair returns to TBS! Missy Hyatt runs out screaming at Flair and has to be restrained by security. Flair has words for all the champions in WCW, but isn't revealing his hand just yet. This is a tremendous interview
March 16, 201114 yr comment_5467420 We get a good comparison of how Hogan and Flair returned within the week on the set. Flair wins easily.
July 12, 201114 yr comment_5476580 This was just tremendous. Flair telling all the champions that the champ is back is great stuff. The Flair for the Gold line was gold. I know it wasn't the original plan, but it really is cool that He got his belt back at Starcade in December.
September 17, 201213 yr comment_5514715 Flair comes back to TBS and looks like the Ric Flair of old, suits and all. He really is more at home here than he ever was in WWF, cutting a classic Flair promo. Unlike with Hogan showing up on RAW, the WCW audience is thrilled to see Flair come back.
July 4, 201312 yr comment_5549961 Welcome back Ric Flair to WCW. Poor Missy gets cut off by Flair’s security which is funny looking back to 90-91 yearbooks. Good call on the returns of Flair and Hogan to their organizations. Flair cuts a much better promo compared to Hulk.
November 5, 201311 yr comment_5570534 I don't know how long the Secret Service gimmick lasted with Flair, but I always found it hilarious and appropriate. Yes, there's no question that Flair's return eclipsed Hogan's, in terms of artistic quality and in terms of fan response. In the end, I'm really glad Flair did get a WWF run. We've all gone over how it could have been done better, but it also could have been done a whole lot worse. He fulfilled, to some degree, the dreams of every '80s wrestling fan, and he got to face new opponents in a new setting, to put on some tremendous matches, and to return home as fresh and revitalized as he'd been in years. Artistically, it ended up being like one of those sports trades that improved both teams.
December 15, 201410 yr comment_5645446 Flair says its great to be back in WCW, but won't t say what role he'll play there just yet. He's a champion and acknowledges Rhodes, Windham and Vader as current champs he has his eye on.
February 1, 201510 yr comment_5652468 Good to see Flair back and he starts off feeling like the man again and calling everyone out without setting out his exact plans for everyone to see just yet.
June 24, 20169 yr comment_5757947 Flair's back where he's always at his best. I didn't realize how much I'd missed JCP/WCW Flair until I saw him on the podium with Tony. Nice to see that he acknowledged his WWF run, which most of the people in the audience had probably followed anyway. I didn't need Missy Hyatt anywhere near this, especially as a groupie. When are they going to admit that they've used her horribly (not that she could ever be used well by anyone except Eddie Gilbert) and cut their losses? It made sense for Flair to call out Windham and Vader, but Dustin and the US belt seem a step below him. Then again, a Flair/Dustin feud may have been interesting due to the past history between Flair and Dusty, who would almost certainly have been involved somehow. Either 2/13 or 2/20 was JR's last Saturday night show, because JR was the one stuck between Corny and Watts on 2/6, as we saw earlier.
