As long as it doesnt end up with Flair in a hospital gown next to a muscular blond woman, I'm okay with it.

I can see Vince adding the whole speech into the script and directing it at some young buck backstage. Carlito, Shelton, hell, both.

I was totally expecting flair to attack jeff after their match and turn heel, guess it happened a little while later. the promo woulda been ten times better tho if he didn't repeat the "walking around here trying to figure out my name"?!? bit about three times. Unless they want him to come off as crazy.

I was actually marking hard during that promo - very old-school heel Flair-ish, and totally awesome.

I missed Raw, but from what I read, it wasn't a heel turn. It seemed more like a Ric Flair Old School wrestling promo. He was right, Carlito is lucky to be on the Raw roster. Perhaps this is a wake up call because of Carlito half-assing it in the ring and behind the scenes for real.

It was amazing, because it seemed like he was speaking from the heart.
I agreed with him 100%.
I was thinking of how Flair seemed to be better in the ring tonight, and then he goes off on a slow, unmotivated hack like Carlito, and my respect for Ric Flair grows even more.

I loved the promo we need more good promos like this.
I see this leading one of three ways. Flair Heel turn match at 'Mania, Carlito heel turn to a 'Mania match, or a tweener like match between both at 'Mania where Flair becomes Carlito's manager or mentor after Mania

I hope this gets Carlito to upper midcard or even the main event!

Its about time they give Flair something to do. He hasn't done anything memorable since the H' feud last year. Crazy Flair is back!

I'm not sure I'd like to see Flair/Carlito, but I want to see more of this side of Ric Flair.
The best part about this is that I believe Flair is saying what's really on his mind - that guys are hired for their looks alone, get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to just coast along, and get all the spoils that Flair never really got to experience. Carlito makes more in one year than Flair made for, probably, the first ten years of his career.
Carlito is really the perfect igniter for this, because he strikes me as someone who doesn't really give a shit. He's just sort of there, gets to make out with the divas, does his slow springboard manuvers and is over for whatever reason. I know it was planned and all, but I liked seeing him get verbally nailed like that.
Look, a guy doesn't have to be perfect to get my respect. He can even not be that good. But I respect Chris Masters more than I do Carlito, because while he's not nearly as popular and not as gifted in my people's opinions, he goes out there and TRIES, even if he's not getting the big push or the monster payday.

I mentioned this on another thread about this subject, but I thought I'd mention it here, too. When Flair said that he sometimes didn't know who he was, did the word "senile" pop into anyone else's head? It did for me.
It reminds me of when Paul Orndorff said the same thing. He was saying he didn't know if he was Mr. Wonderful anymore, and he was immediately visited my Gary Spivey. Anyone else hope that brilo pad wig wearing goofball makes an appearance on RAW in the near future?
