We’re talking about it 25 yrs later for 2 reasons : 1. Wrestling sucks now compared to that era 2. Rick Flair and Scott Steiner are both legends 3. No other reason 😂
Yeah, and Flair has his number now, because Flair has the telephone number to BurgerWorld, where Scott cooks burgers all week and Flair is making a fortune in the wrestling and entertainment business. Flair is hanging out with celebrities and probably will not see you or Scott, because the places Flair eats at, a meal for 6 costs more than your car or Scott’s used pickup truck. Woooooooo.
"...God rest his soul. BUT RIC FLAIR, YOUR CAREER IS DEAD!" His acknowledgement that WCW can't actually hire Buddy Rogers due to the aforementioned followed by his heartwarming respectful 'tribute', before unloading on Flair makes this the quintessential Scott Steiner promo. Emotional rollercoaster.
@@Uzaair, his career is not dead. Ric has a multimillion dollar empire. He has a huge RUclips channel and gets paid a fortune to show up at events. If he needs any extra cash, I am sure his daughter can give him a little spending money because now she is a mega star.
@@Uzaair, Ric is still having a career, but it is as a business man and legend. Most people have careers to make money and Ric is doing that. Ric can always sell one of his Rolex watches and a custom made suit and get as much as most people would if they sold their house. Wooooooo.
The funny thing is that Stone Cold wasn't even on tv for WWF at the time of Steiner's promo (Feb 2000). Austin was out from Nov 99 to Sept 2000. So nobody actually changed the channel to see Stone Cold.
NWA was excellent, and WCW missed used Ric and Scott, both were better in NWA, what a great NWA World Champ Flair was and had great interviews, and Scott would have been a great NWA World Champion had NWA style remained on TBS, Scott in his last run on current NWA gave great interviews and chased the NWA National Title, it was fun to watch, Scott and Ric were great and NWA, WCW missed used both.
Well, let’s see, Ron Simmons, Haku, Brock Lesnar, Barbarian, Steve Blackman, Dan Savern, Dick Slater, Andre, John Tenta, Scott Norton, Kane, Billy Jack Haynes, and The Warlord would probably mess with him, if he messed with them.
Had a friend who worked as a segment producer for WCW back then and he said there was no one there who could deal with Scott backstage which shows the difference between WCW and WWE. For Flair-haters it was good for a chuckle but ultimately it was unprofessional and didn’t do anything for business.
Steiner commenting on Flairs teeth, then Flair went and got them whitened - so good. Same thing with Nash and Hogan's sunglasses. The old farts got their asses handed to them in late 90s WCW.
If Meng would have been in the locker room at the time it would have been a wise decision for Sullivan to have Meng watch his back in case Scott Steiner attacked Sullivan.
It’s started from the first clash of the champions under the wcw banner in 1991 where ric flair wrestled Scott Steiner in a match where ric flair defended the wcw world heavyweight championship for the first time. The match was terrible and Scott held that anger for so many years.
It doesn't matter if what Steiner said was accurate or not. It hurt the company and the rest of the guys. Just more of the out of control, illogical BS that was too common in WCW at that time.
@@stonecoldflipper9503 I might be biased because I'm from the north but the character was way better developed then Ric Flair's character. When when Rick Flair came on TV we would change your channel. We only really watch WCW for The Steiner Brothers Sid Vicious and maybe sting
@@krillin876, you can’t help where you grew up and I don’t hold that against you, but Ric Flair is The Goat of professional wrestling. Ric wasn’t the biggest star like Hulk Hogan or The Rock, but they were more than wrestlers, they were TV stars and movie stars, etc. Ric had the best promos of all time and Ric could wrestle and put on a show. Ric wasn’t a cartoon character like The Million Dollar Man and he was worth way more than a million dollars. I use to live near Ric and he really had all those fancy cars and he had the biggest house on the biggest side of town. You need to spend several hours a day watching Ric’s promos on RUclips and maybe you and The Million Dollar Man can learn how to dress properly. Trust me, Ric’s robe, Rolex watch, and his big gold belt probably cost more than your house.
@@stonecoldflipper9503 Nah Ric Flair wasn't the goat, that's a tag line everyone wants to sell you as if he's better than the real legends. Bret Hart said it best, if you've seen one Ric Flair match you've seen them all. Ric has outlasted father time which is great for him but to say he was the best, I wouldn't say he was the best. As fa as his finances, I've heard hosts on recent podcasts say Ric doesn't have two pennies to rub together, wooo!
Steiner's a real man the real deal he doesn't go behind your back or behind the scenes he blast you in the ring and in front of the fans a rebel with a cause!
Steiner never said people should change the channel. He said they do to watch Austin. The one guy that had the Austin charisma in WCW was Scott Steiner. If they'd have put him in the top heel spot they'd have been far more competitive.
scott destroyed flair ,scott hated the fact flair had everyone wrapped around his finger the bosses higher ups and flair hated scott for being a physical freak and himself looking like mashed potatoes lol
Wtf are you doing isn’t really a confrontation. Also Kevin knew Scott wasn’t going to punch an old man. Also what Scott said hurt WCW less than many things many other guys had done.
It's always been funny to me that when Flair went to the WWE that all those "guys Flair chased away" according to Steiner ended up heralding Flair as the greatest professional wrestler of all time. Flair was 55 and was more over than steroid fueled SS by a mile.
I remember it well. It was one of the reasons WCW totally failed. We heard S. Steiner say go over to WWE (F) and everyone did. And did not look back. Thanks Scott. So smart.
The promo ended his career. Ric Flairs biggest fan is Vince . Word was that promo pissed Vince off . After buying WCW Vince knew he would end Scott's career. And he did. Just like Mike Tyson told Ali he would get revenge on Larry Holmes for Ali, Vince did the same for Flair. Thank you Vince .As a fan, Scott never came on my TV again. I turned away until he was through. As Kevin said Scott was not even working with Flair at the time. Roid rage plan and simple. Flair gain a lot of fans after that promo.
Whether you believe what Scott Steiner said in that promo was true or not, it was way out of order of him and utterly unprofessional. I first saw the Steiner Brothers wrestle in WCW in the late 80s and have not seen a more technically sound tag team than them. They are certainly in the conversation for greatest tag team of all time. And this I was a fan of Scott Steiner pre 1998, after that he just seemed out of control and lost to me. This promo was yet another embarrassing step on the road in the destruction of WCW. The greatest wrestlers cutting promos don't need to cuss and just get angry. They capture the audience, they tell a story they have self control. And they also didn't get personal and disrespectful to legends, even heals like Jake the Snake didn't need to do that. Also you NEVER name the competition, absolute no-no! Vince and the WWF boys probably sat back and laughed their heads off. Ridiculous promo, and it was clear he embarrassed himself and WCW. Shameful.
I would like to seen Flair vs Scott Steiner during that time period. And have Steiner have his way in the ring and really hurt him. Maybe cripple him. Then see how bad the big bad bootie daddy is killing and older man like 25 years older
Steiner was everything that FLAIR WAS NOT .... HE HAD THE BODY AND REAL WRESTLING SKILLS .... FLAIR ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE SHIT FROM HIS BODY TO HIS ABILITY .... BRUNO SAID IT BEST YOU SEE FLAIR WRESTLE ONCE YOU SEE HIM THE SAME WAY A MILLION TIMES .... PLUS RICK WITH BEST HIM SILLY IN A REAL FIGHT !!
Professional wrestling is not amateur wrestling, it’s not the UFC, and it’s not bodybuilding. Ric was the greatest professional wrestler to ever wrestle and that means his work ethic, his skills in the ring, and most importantly his interview skills and his entertainment ability in the business. Ric is not an amateur wrestler, but Brock Lesnar is, so get Scott to jump on him and see what happens. Ric is not a bodybuilder and didn’t eat PED’s like they were candy, but Lex Luger, Sid Vicious, Rick Rude, and Brock had better physiques than Scott. Brock had UFC training and Haku had mix martial arts training and Scott didn’t jump on either of them. Finally, Ric was not a street fighter, but Dick Slater was and he would have destroyed Scott with one punch. Ric was perfect in the ring as a professional wrestler and he did basically the same match because it was perfect and it worked. Scott was a bully and was jealous of Ric’s success and Ric had nothing to do with Scott not being a great singles wrestler. You think Ric’s body looks bad, have you seen Scott’s chest, his body looks bad as well. Ric is the GOAT.
@@krillin876, that is because the guys you think had a great physique were eating PED’s for breakfast and Ric didn’t do that. When Scott was in the gym every morning lifting weights for 4 hours straight, Slick Ric was kicking 4 girls out of bed, Woooooo.
Flair had one thing that put him miles ahead of Scott. Flair put butts in seats for 30yrs. Flair put more butts in the seats over his career than any other wrestler except maybe Hogan. That's all that counts. If not for Scott's promo he would not be mention in the same discussion as Flair. Scott was never the top of the card wrestler. Sorry . Flair is still in demand , he just did Joe Rogan podcast . Scott is flipping burgers at Chili's in Georgia. He does on the Chili's. Good food.
“More loose skin than a shar pei puppy!” That will forever be a classic line… 😂😂😂
"Hey Flair you old bastard"
Nice that Kevin Sullivan didn’t take the bait to sound like he was a badass and just shot the story straight.
The fact we’re talking about it 25 years later makes Steiner right.
Steiner is one hundred percent wrong
We’re talking about it 25 yrs later for 2 reasons :
1. Wrestling sucks now compared to that era
2. Rick Flair and Scott Steiner are both legends
3. No other reason 😂
NOTHING Scott said was true, not even remotely!!!
@@ethanshelbyskateboarding9980 eh…he was right but it wasn’t the whole story
@@60BloodyChamp60 true
Scotty always had heat with Flair from the early '90s when Flair was booking and he sandbagged Steiner's push as world champion
WCW should've had Scott Steiner work with Ric Flair after Scott did that promo.
You would think right. But WCW usually never did anything right. Lol
Flair wouldn't dare work with him after that incase he decided to shoot on him in the ring aswell as in a promo
True
@Noob_Saibot 1997

I like when steiner tslks about hooches, his peaks, and white trash.
It was humorous about 25 years-ago … it’s kind of played out at this point.

The thing about Flair coming out of no where is so perfect and hilarious that I die laughing almost every time to this day.
Loved this promo. Scott always had Flair’s number.
@@stonecoldflipper9503 you liked your own reply lol
Steiner didn't draw tho
@@Jcrash71that’s actually false and WCW’s ratings were starting climb again when he held the WCW title before the buyout, the numbers don’t lie.
@@Matt_Wilson01 yeah and the PPV buyrates in the year 2000 were horrible when Scott was the guy... Numbers don't lie either

@@donjohn2695 Why would he be?
@@chadk890 well let's see ric is considered the greatest wrestler of all time while Scott is just a footnote in the history of the business
Flair was a heel at this time too; Steiner's promo made no sense to anyone who didn't know their personal history.
Made sense to me lol
I love me some heel vs heel shit
not all heels have to be friends, they're heels for a reason.
No one was messing with Scott. Dude was as big as a house
Well, let’s see, Ron Simmons, Haku, Brock Lesnar, Barbarian, Steve Blackman, Dan Savern, Dick Slater, Andre, John Tenta, Scott Norton, Kane, Billy Jack Haynes, and The Warlord would probably mess with him, if he messed with them.

As fan growing up in the 80's, we thought Flair sucked. If you compare Million Dollar Man's character development, he was much better.

The only thing Flair is bigger than Steiner at is being a sex offender.

It was over with kids at the time.
Its not about having "balls" its because kevin wasnt part of the consensus that flair was a dbag

It also made Shane Douglas look weak...here he was feuding with Ric and then Steiner comes out and takes over. Great promo though
Kevin Sullivan is completely wrong. Steiner was right, and knew WCW already lost to the WWF.
