always wondered why he wasn't wearing a suit. He always did interviews in suits during his NWA/WCW days

I always liked the lead in to this that was on the first Flair DVD. I think it was titled, "The Brain is Nervous." One of the funniest bits I've ever seen.
And then, this is awesome.

That studio audience must be the "Ham 'n Eggers" that Heenan always referred to.

Watch carefully for the guy in the brown suit and mustache. He's either a giant mark or a very good actor plant, but I'm 99% sure he's just a regular old mark.
He gets violently, viciously angry and yells that Hogan is gonna take care of Flair, and then a second later, he cracks this huge smile because he's having so much fun hating Flair.
THAT is the way pro wrestling is supposed to work.

I just wish someone would put up the first ever clip of Heenan showing that belt on WWF TV.
Since I started watching in 94, I missed that.

You knew, as soon as you looked at the Big Gold Belt, that it had to be Flair, but I can imagine in '91, the dream of Hogan v. Flair was something to behold, and suddenly, it was a very real possibility. |

So the guy- while he could have been a legitimate big mark and fan- was probably more looking for a raise from Mr. McMahon. |

Thanks for who uploaded "Ice Cream And Horse Manure" as the title says.
I can only imagine what people's reactions were to 1)seeing that belt on WWF TV and 2)hearing the name "Ric Flair" mentioned on WWF TV.

Hey everyone.... see that big gold belt on WWF tv? See Ric Flair with it also on WWF tv? Still wonder why Vince wanted to make damn sure he got the belt off Bret in '97?

SLIGHT differences between the two. 1)Ric TECHNICALLY owned that belt, since at the time you put down a deposit to carry around the NWA World Title. He never got back his deposit, so the belt was his. 2)After the Medusa on Nitro incident, a legal standard was put in place that something like that couldn't happen again. So even if Bret did walk on Nitro without losing the WWF Title, he wouldn't be able to walk out with the belt on Nitro. |

Shows how dumb WCW was at that time, not only did they let their number one draw at time walk out without developing a replacement for him but they forgot to have Flair drop the belt before he left and Flair the smart guy he was knew that he technically owned the belt walked on WWF programming with it. Just awesome. I mean imagine Samoa Joe or AJ Styles doing that now? Oh wait they'd be jobbed out in two minutes, never mind. |

By Flair's account, Jim Herd had promised to give Sting the next run. Then when things began to become obvious that the two sides weren't going to come together on a new deal, Herd wanted him to drop the title to Luger. Flair reminded Herd that he had promised the belt to Sting, to which Herd said, "I don't care what I promised Sting." He kept pushing for Luger and Flair refused.
He also stated that as an attempted compromise, he offered to drop the belt to Barry Windham, because he felt Barry deserved it. Herd said, "Let me think about it." Without an answer, Flair starts getting ready to travel to whatever town for the match with Windham. Herd calls him back and tells him to forget it, they don't need him, and Doug Dillinger would be coming by to pick up the belt. Flair reminded him that he had never gotten his deposit, and that if Doug wanted the belt, he'd better bring the money. Herd apparently told him to stick it up his ass, and to keep the belt.
And so an awesome TV moment conceived...
