Loss Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Flair has glasses that make him look ancient. Combine it with the hairstyle and it's a very odd look. Flair rubs salt in the wounds of anyone who thought he was done, because he's back! Aside from the weird look, this actually feels more like an 80s TBS promo than anything he did in 1990. Have to laugh at Flair's pronunciation of El Gigante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 If I had my eyes closed I would think it was 1986. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Richard Flair: newest member of the York Foundation? He recites his stock phrases and then focuses in on El Ji-gont-ee. This build...has not been terrible. The anecdotes I've read indicate that Flair/Gigante actually helped WCW's moribund house show business just because Flair was finally wrestling somebody who wasn't Sting or Luger.

Kevin Ridge Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 The glasses with the haircut is not a good look for Flair. Ric doesn’t seem too concerned with El Gigante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Good promo by Flair as he continues to do his best to present Gigante as a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I liked Heyman sucking up to Flair so unabashedly. You don't often see that from heels, even toward other heels; most of the time, they either ignore each other or make snide remarks about each other. Flair was his normal self here, and his "mispronunciation" of Gigante was a neat psychological trick. Too bad Gigante probably didn't legitimately know what he was getting at, with his English being so poor. With Pillman, Zenk, Tommy Rich (whom I know was a little past it, but was still a former World champion), Gigante and a few others, there were more than enough face challengers for Flair even at this late date. Why they kept going with Sting and Luger to the almost complete exclusion of everyone else in the company is something I don't understand. Didn't they realize that even the hottest matches and feuds cool down if they're overdone? Of course, Flair's unwillingness to drop the belt to Luger (which made Luger look like a choke artist every time they wrestled) and Sting's total failure as champion might have had something to do with those matchups not drawing, too.

dawho5 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Great promo from Flair. I can see why it would draw despite the obvious limitations of a Gigante feud. Big Dust already working on improving things somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
