Loss Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Everyone knows about this, probably the best segment in Nitro history. I think the Ric Flair pop is in contention for the loudest in wrestling history. Flair is so into the moment that he bites his tongue and draws blood. Moments like this just don't exist in wrestling anymore, and I don't even mean that as a huge negative. I simply don't know that they are possible.

Matt D Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 CM Punk winning in Chicago? Bryan doing the Yes! Chants on the top of the cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Cooke Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 This is pro wrestling's version of Cal Ripken's 2131 game. An atmosphere, emotion, and intensity that will most likely never be topped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I was in Boston the next week for Nitro right before my 17th birthday. That was fun, but it was also Boston. Not quite the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Cooke Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Ric Flair returns after a world class Arn Anderson promo and proceeds to cut the greatest promo I have seen in wrestling. Meanwhile, the crowd is just losing their minds the entire segment. This is wrestling’s version of baseball’s Cal Ripken Jr. 2131 game, which has unreal emotion, intensity, and aura. The height of WCW and one of the biggest blunders in terms of not being able to capitalize on what they had with Flair and the reinvented Four Horsemen. This quarter hour did a 5.44, leading WCW to a 4.54 rating, which beat the 3.99 rating RAW did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 This was absolutely electric. You'd have thought Flair had been gone for five years rather than five months by the response. Arn and Ric were both incredible here. With all the BS going on in WCW this year it made this stand out even more for being real and meaningful.

soup23 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Everyone knows what this is about. This has a level of class and professionalism that is usually unparalleled with wrestling. Flair shows raw emotion and Bischoff is able to show ass. Top 3 promo of the entire 1990's for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hadn't seen that in a long time and wow - Flair is just on fire here. The pop is electric in a way that you do rarely see now (although I do think the Bryan and Punk moments are in the same league, even if they don't match it).

MikeCampbell Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 This is obviously Flair's moment, but Anderson's promo was pretty damn good too. "We don't wear white hats. We're not nice guys!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 The thing for me about this, brilliance of everything that happened, is how WCW immediately went about destroying any kind of gains they might have made. I mean, of course Hogan and Nash need to be the focal points of the promotion. Not as if anybody else could ever be over enough to be in that spot.

PeteF3 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Is this the Last Great WCW moment? I suspect so--and what a moment indeed. Probably a top-5 segment for Nitro, that's not only a complete chill scene (my favorite spot among many is Ric instantly switching gears, turning off the waterworks, and re-emerging as the Nature Boy once he talks about a party in town) but works as a wrestling angle as well, making you want to keep watching and see just where this is going.

ajtroma Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I will never forget this one. I still get the goosebumps watching it. And Oh, to have seen Hogan's face watching this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
