July 21, 201114 yr Author comment_5477416 Flair is finally in a suit and getting off a jet and is finally Flair, talking about riding Space Mountain, limousines, etc. The best of all of these. In the ultimate bait and switch, Flair and Perfect promise to unveil a Liz centerfold at Wrestlemania.
August 17, 201114 yr comment_5479836 This was the Flair I know. He was great here. The whole airplane segment was something out of Florida or St. Louis.
August 23, 201213 yr comment_5513295 I thought the limo would run over Mene Gene but it doesn't happen. Great Flair being Flair promo. I know they didn't really have video trons back in the day but it could have been a good way for Flair to keep the title by having pictures shown up on screen and then getting a roll up on a distracted Savage.
January 2, 201312 yr comment_5525748 Now this is the REAL Ric Flair! In a suit and talking about limos, jets, space mountain etc. Ho-hum, just another great Ric Flair promo.
March 19, 201312 yr comment_5539488 Nature Boy! Flair tells us Liz was there and loved it once, and wants back in now. Perfect promises a centerfold at Mania which I don't think was even ever mentioned again.
June 29, 201312 yr comment_5549249 Perfect promises a centerfold at Mania which I don't think was even ever mentioned again. It was mentioned a few times during the show.
July 18, 201312 yr comment_5552472 The centerfold was a total con job--Perfect had it with him in the pre-match promo but it wasn't mentioned at all once the match ended. Great Flair promo once again in a classic Flair setting.
January 17, 20169 yr comment_5721219 The perfect (no pun intended) ending to the buildup for Mania. We get the first reference to Space Mountain in the WWF, and as previously mentioned, Flair breaks out one of his designer suits for the occasion. Nothing new is mentioned except for the centerfold, but Flair continues to be every inch the cool, cocky champion his biggest fans have always thought he was, no matter how he was actually portrayed. As I said in an earlier thread, you would have thought that Vince would have depicted him as a borderline maniac and Crockett/Turner would have depicted him as a cool customer, but so far it's been the exact opposite. In fact, I could have made a case that this was Flair's best six-month run in at least five years (yes, including Funk and Steamboat in '89) if only he hadn't been made to look like such a fool in the Hogan "feud". I'm wondering if Randy and Liz might have had the centerfold idea killed, seeing as how Liz wasn't going to be around anymore after Mania (at least in the U.S.). It makes no sense to base the after-Mania rematches on Randy getting satisfaction for someone who won't be on screen anymore, so what good would it do to keep the Liz portion of the feud alive? Even if she'd planned to come back at some point, she'd had a pretty hard last eight months going back to the cobra at SummerSlam and deserved a rest, both onscreen and in real life. I can't wait to see the match again now that I've seen the buildup. I just hope it lives up to the hype!
