Ric Flair is out to conduct clean-up on that horrible angle on Monday night. He's in sunglasses and is all bandaged up. He downplays the angle from Monday night and faults himself for being dumb enough to think he had everything under control, which is probably the best move considering how much it flopped. He steers us back to contrast them as wrestlers, which is a more effective build. He simply knows that on his worst day, he can kick Hulk's ass. The January promo was the better one, but the emotion in this one was just right in trying to get this back on track.

Wait a second...Vince comes out the night after a PPV in a neckbrace selling the previous night's match, Mankind comes out limping selling the previous night's match, and now Ric Flair is out selling the previous show's beatdown. Don't these idiots know that if you sell a match for any length of time *after* the match, you'll ruin your star power? Good thing today's modern WWE performers don't have that problem.

 

Flair outs the NWO and Hogan as not being "cool" after all and points out that Hogan needs celebrities, props, and the belt handed to him in order to be World Heavyweight champion. Ric effectively downplays Monday night's disaster and cuts his usual awesome promo hyping SuperBrawl as a match, with high emotions and high stakes but no other outside overthought bullshit. This is great, as usual, but I'm getting tired of this months-long pattern of WCW force-feeding us a crap angle where Flair gets destroyed and Ric attempting to save it after the fact. Sadly, the pattern isn't done.
