[1991-03-23-WCW-Pro] Interview: Ric Flair

Talk about it here.

This is an outstanding Flair promo. He says the difference between the two of them is that Flair woke up the day after Sting beat him for the title still knowing he was the best and plotting his path back to the top, while Sting hasn't shown him that. That's such an awesome thing to say for someone in the elder statesman role. Because it's WCW, he hypes a cage match that is apparently taking place in some unknown location on an unknown date.

Tremendous Flair promo that gets me excited for a match that I no I'll never see.

Incredible Flair promo where he calls out Sting for not believing himself as the Man the way Flair does, and did even after losing the title. Are there any handhelds of these Flair/Sting/Gigante cage matches?

[Kevin Ridge]

Flair thinks Sting hasn’t matured in the wrestling business. Defeat doesn’t stop Flair from being best and he knows he will get title back. Sting has asked for a cage match with Flair. Felt like Flair was trying to light a fire under Sting.

Inspiring stuff that I didn't expect to see from this late era first WCW run Flair.

[garretta]

This is so much better than the first cage match promo it's not even funny. Flair's always better when he's trying to mess with his opponent's head than he is when he's just bragging on himself, and here he attempts to do a psych job on Sting, not by saying that he doesn't believe Sting can be The Man, but that Sting himself doesn't believe it, even as he asks for cage matches with Gigante as the referee.

 

Like a lot of others here, I'm now excited for a match that I know isn't on the set (though the parts of WarGames where they faced off provided a nice little preview). If Flair would just do promos like this all the time, he'd deserve his reputation as the best heel promo in wrestling history.

Flair cuts an amazing promo that, let's face it, seems to ring pretty true of Sting's title run. He only seems to be coming around to believing he's the man in the last month or so.
