Loss Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Poor Flair. Konnan looks so awkward doing everything, and Flair tries, but can't carry him. Also, poor Flair, because you can really see him taking on a lesser role from where he was a few months earlier, as him coming out with Woman and Liz seemed really fresh a few months prior and now seems like yesterday's news, even though he did win the U.S. title, which is a dubious honor for someone at Flair's level anyway. This is also a terribly awkward finish, with Woman getting on the apron way too early and leading to a far too long ref distraction. Terrible match, glad it's just the last few minutes.

El-P Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Konnan is seriously one of the worst worker I've ever seen. Down there with the Harris Brothers and Crusher Maedomari. Flair had no chance in hell of saving this, and it's not like he had anything else to propose but an abridged version of his formula at this point. Him winning the US belt felt wrong too. Below his level, come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I have no idea how Konnan ever got past basic training. Mechanically he's so badly suited to wrestling. In terms of natural talent as a worker Konnan would be comparable with someone like El Gigante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Shitty match with Konnan attempting a bunch of stuff that's way out of his league. An even greater insult: this clip eliminates the match's lone highlight, which is Woman booting a 60-yard field goal into Konnan's groin.

soup23 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yeah, this didn't look good. Complete schmozz finish with Ric winning the US Title. On the Dangerous Alliance podcast, Will talked about Savage not fighting for the IC title if he stayed in WWF in 1994 as it felt beneath him. I got that vibe from this match.

drew wardlaw Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 On Flair's podcast he frequently references wrestling Konnan as a euphemism for him not being a part of the main event scene or an important aspect of the NWO angle, and this match really articulates that.
