October 25, 201410 yr Author comment_5635329 Ric Flair, still in his Florida Gator boxer shorts and robe, makes an entrance into the mental institution to his music. WHY is there a camera there? Flair is thrilled to be there and is dancing with the inmates. This finds new ways to be offensive. Flair has a blast with this, but come on. In the next segment, we find out that Charles Robinson is the Vice President of WCW and he's in charge since Flair has been removed from office. He's above the commissioner on the food chain. Ric Flair calls him in the next segment to tell him to put Piper in jail. Later, Gene Okerlund interviews him in the ring where he ensures that he's in charge and not Piper. This brings the Hot Rod out to dispute his claims. Robinson ends up slapping Piper, who is about to destroy him when security shows up to take Piper out of the building. Charles Robinson is a babyface! "CHARLES IS IN CHARGE! THAT'S MR. ROBINSON TO YOU!"
December 25, 201410 yr comment_5646870 Flair is entertaining in the mental institution scene but yeah it is very late 90s wrestling levels of tasteless and silly. The Charles Robinson stuff was AWESOME. I've always liked him a lot and had no idea he took part in a major angle like this at one time.
March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656600 Charles does his best Vince Mcmahon/Ric Flair hybrid impersonation and is good at it. I've lived in Central Florida all my life and I've never seen a mental institution like that. This was pretty tasteless for sure but what wasn't back in 1999?
March 20, 201510 yr comment_5659689 Flair still gave it his all and AAA was game but I must say as someone that has audited nursing homes with a mental wing, this hit a little too close to home for me and therefore was particularly tasteless whereas I'm usually offended by very little in wrestling.
June 2, 20178 yr comment_5802763 These doctor and nurse actors are horrible. Ric Flair enters the rec room with his entrance music playing (???) eager to watch Nitro, but Nash has moved from The Graduate to an even hipper and more-with-the-times ripoff of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest as the nurse won't let them watch the show. Charles Robinson is in charge now. Apparently JJ is happy about this. Flair's on the phone with Robinson and he's pissed and being harrassed by the other inmates. The unnamed Asya makes her debut. Robinson is out with Gene and continues to be one of the better things about this era, at least outside the tag and cruiserweight divisions. He's not quite at the heights of Bill Alfonso in 1995 because he's working in a colder environment, but he's not far off and could have been an asset in another time and place.
