Loss Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Flair is finally in a suit and getting off a jet and is finally Flair, talking about riding Space Mountain, limousines, etc. The best of all of these. In the ultimate bait and switch, Flair and Perfect promise to unveil a Liz centerfold at Wrestlemania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 This was the Flair I know. He was great here. The whole airplane segment was something out of Florida or St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I thought the limo would run over Mene Gene but it doesn't happen. Great Flair being Flair promo. I know they didn't really have video trons back in the day but it could have been a good way for Flair to keep the title by having pictures shown up on screen and then getting a roll up on a distracted Savage.

MikeCampbell Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Now this is the REAL Ric Flair! In a suit and talking about limos, jets, space mountain etc. Ho-hum, just another great Ric Flair promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Nature Boy! Flair tells us Liz was there and loved it once, and wants back in now. Perfect promises a centerfold at Mania which I don't think was even ever mentioned again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Perfect promises a centerfold at Mania which I don't think was even ever mentioned again. It was mentioned a few times during the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 The centerfold was a total con job--Perfect had it with him in the pre-match promo but it wasn't mentioned at all once the match ended. Great Flair promo once again in a classic Flair setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 The perfect (no pun intended) ending to the buildup for Mania. We get the first reference to Space Mountain in the WWF, and as previously mentioned, Flair breaks out one of his designer suits for the occasion. Nothing new is mentioned except for the centerfold, but Flair continues to be every inch the cool, cocky champion his biggest fans have always thought he was, no matter how he was actually portrayed. As I said in an earlier thread, you would have thought that Vince would have depicted him as a borderline maniac and Crockett/Turner would have depicted him as a cool customer, but so far it's been the exact opposite. In fact, I could have made a case that this was Flair's best six-month run in at least five years (yes, including Funk and Steamboat in '89) if only he hadn't been made to look like such a fool in the Hogan "feud". I'm wondering if Randy and Liz might have had the centerfold idea killed, seeing as how Liz wasn't going to be around anymore after Mania (at least in the U.S.). It makes no sense to base the after-Mania rematches on Randy getting satisfaction for someone who won't be on screen anymore, so what good would it do to keep the Liz portion of the feud alive? Even if she'd planned to come back at some point, she'd had a pretty hard last eight months going back to the cobra at SummerSlam and deserved a rest, both onscreen and in real life. I can't wait to see the match again now that I've seen the buildup. I just hope it lives up to the hype! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I enjoyed how Flair brought up Jack Tunney and blurring out the belt. Great promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
