Thoughts on Flair's TNA run

[Urfarkendarf]

He bled and we saw his ass a lot.

It was typical.

[ededdneddy]

It made some people want to mace themselves in the face/eyes and fall into a hole

[Essential1]

He showed us why he's overrated. He had no class.

It would be like Undertaker appearing in TNA after a send off and taking up valuable TV time for no apparent reason.

[Chip Jordan]

I hated every moment of his TNA run. Each time I saw him on TV he was trying to steal the spotlight from the guys he should have been putting over.

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

without hyperbole it's the single most embarrassing period of his career.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

I see a lot of negativity regarding his tna era, I don't disagree with it, I think most of us would've been ok with it if he stayed as a manager only. Like he didn't need to wrestle anymore, he just needed to cut promos. I think it's a shame that his final match was against Doug Williams in front of a thousand people instead of his match with Shawn.
Flair basically f***ed his awesome send off because his whole paycheck for that wrestlemania went to his legal fees when he was going through either his second or third divorce. I think Ric's life spiraled out of control after his book came out, apparently he never told his wife about his adventures and she requested a divorce soon after.

[floundertime]

I could of done without his TNA run, but he did wear that nice blouse 1 time.

[mcstoklasa]

Hilarious

[Push R Truth]

The single most pathetic and sad combination of events I've ever witnessed in wrestling outside of people dying.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

He did fall into a dangerous pit

[bluemeii]

To me, the less said about it the better.

It completely shit on the grand farewell the wwe gave him.

Oh yeah of course lol, even one of his buddies Barry Windham got mad about that, Barry said that because of that no one is getting a send off like that one again, yeah I wonder why Vince took him back after that, well Vince has bailed him out on numerous ocassions

I think Vince keeps Flair on the payroll largely just to keep him alive.

Nuff said.

Do we have the scene from where this hideous image came from? I'd like to see what exactly is going on. I think.

[Deleted]

I liked how he got to be Ric Flair, instead of the WWE Ric Flair(TM). Some of it sucked, sometimes he sounded like a sad old drunk talking nonsense, but a lot of the time he was on fire and having a great time in an infectious way.

[Jazzman]

It gave us WheelFlair so it's hard for me to hate on it that much. It's going to eventually fade away from his legacy, but it had it's moments of fun.

[jason1980s]

Embarrassing but most WWE/WCW legends in TNA have poor runs comparatively. If the paycheck didn't matter I wish he would've taken the mic from Kazarian when he did the "angry rookies" bit and did a shoot promo about how Fortune would've been mere jobbers against the Horsemen in 1980s NWA, the equivalent of a Rocky King or George South types in six man tags.

Yeah man only flair could pull off something as dumb as the wheelchair being stuck in the handicap van. He's one of the best promo guys of all time, he was a very good manager, I just wish he stayed that way as a manager not a wrestler, he would've been an awesome authority figure or something.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

He was fine so long as he wasn't actively competing in matches.

[Gummydavidson]

Blood...... so much blood!

[Fauxnaki]

blading and buttcheeks


it was incredible
