Flair congratulates DDP on winning the U.S. title, but still says he has a score to settle with Curt Hennig. He puts over Sting and even Bret Hart for solidly siding with World Championship Wrestling. Flair points out that Bret didn't name drop him earlier and then pulls out a newspaper clipping from the Baltimore Sun where Dave Meltzer was quoted calling Ric Flair the greatest in the history of the sport without question. So, so awesome.

I am conflicted because this was a good promo from Flair and finally sets him up for an important feud vs. Bret. Also, history has shown the fans got behind this program as SOuled Out 98 did surprisingly good business. However, we just saw Bret throw down the challenge vs. the NWO. I know he mentioned Luger, Benoit, etc as wanting to wrestle them but he had a bonafide grudge feud ready set for him. I would have held the Flair stuff off for a few months as a bridge gap to get to Bret vs. Hogan.

Damn, that one totally eluded me ! Flair quoting Metlzer putting him over on Nitro ! Amazing ! Great little promo from Flair. An intricate booking like the one circa early 96 would have been awesome with Bret feuding both with the nWo and Flair at the same time, in a kinda tweener role. But it's 1998 coming up, sadly.

Ric Flair picks up on the fact that Bret mentioned the Giant, Luger, Sting, and Benoit...but not him. Attention to detail! Awesome. This all sounds fine and dandy as Bret's first quick program, so no complaints yet until it's spring and Bret still hasn't done anything else.
