      I liked it at first when we saw her rise from SummerSlam last year to WrestleMania. Because calling herself the Man felt rebellious and defying and that’s who Becky was during the fall of 2018.
      But now that fire, that momentum has died down significantly. It’s not Becky’s fault either. It was creative for putting her in a forgettable storyline with Evans this summer and really not having any direction for her post-WM.

      Flair needs to go pound sand ! He claims to be The Man since 1981. He's always been introduced as Nature Boy Ric Flair. The Man he used in his catchphrase. So did Billy Graham ! I'm The Man of the hour, The Man with the power, too sweet to be sour . Former WWWF Champion Stan Stasiak was billed as Stan The Man Stasiak ! Other Wrestlers used the Woo before Flair did. He needs to quietly go away. He's actually might hurt Charlotte cuz of this. They won't bury her totally but could have her lose a couple matches she was supposed to win. Or WWE could bury her boyfriend Andrade !

      He's tradmarking the phrase under usage in sports entainment. A very specific clause that sees trademarks all of the time that would be common elsewhere as there are relatively few "sports entertainers" compared to general athletes. Look up basic trademark laws. A guy name John Smith could trademark his name for use in the hotel bar soap industry for example. You get the jist?

      If you're from the south, back then, we heard about wrestlers in the papers, when something happened, because they all traveled the southern circuit. Just like Magnum TA. We got more info in the local paper on his career ending accident and what exactly happened than we did on NWA. Wrestling wasn't live back then and they showed taped broadcasts each week. If we had to wait on the promotion, we wouldn't ever know anything.

They usually came on at 6:05 Saturdays for 2 hours, then on Sunday at 6:05 for one hour, both on TBS, I think which was the first superstation, or nationally syndicated channel. They also showed on ESPN, but it wasn't NWA. It was AWA or something like that. With Bogie Woogie Man, Chief Wahoo McDaniel, and others.

      Jon Mack you realize that Flair and Rogers had a wrestling match to see who was "the real nature boy?" Behind the scenes Rogers was passing the nickname down to Flair. So, he didn't steal it.
      Flair has no problem with Becky being "the man." But since he's got it trademarked he needs to get paid.
