- This is pretty much a "must watch." The moment we all were waiting for, a classic promo from Flair and a classic reply from The Hulkster. How they (WWE) messed up this angle and didn't run with it for a year I'll never understand....
Jay Lethal was on Ric Flair's podcast and re-enacted this promo to PERFECTION.
Hogan was always a great promo, but Flair is another level.
The only man who can truly say he is the REAL world champion. I love Hulkster but Ric Flair is the greatest of all time.
The bottom line is Vince HAD THE CHANCE to make this match happen at a WM. He had Hogan and Flair in the same company AT the same time! We've heard about the reasons why the match didn't happen. BUT were those reasons ENOUGH to not make that match happen?? Back in the day, house shows are one thing. BUT to get the overall financial gain, it had to happen at WM to get the PPV bucks. Even though Flair had a very productive WWF run, SO MUCH MORE could have been done with Naitch. In a sense, Flair was Richard Pryor in a Bill Cosby world, and his act was toned down to fit the WWF environment. Put a peak Flair with the Horsemen in Vince's Attitude Era, it would have been EPIC!!! Feuds with Rock, Austin, and D-X would have been awesome!!!
In late 1991 Hogan and Flair sold out lot of house shows including a few at MSG. How WWE just dropped the ball I'll never understand.
jay lethal did this TO A TEE
Damn Jay Lethal captured this perfectly!!!!!
I stop at the end of Flair's promo (:57), rewind, and watch it again. Hogan's promo doesn't matter or compare to Nature Boy nostalgia. 😎
Hulk never beat Earthquake, at least not by pinfall in any sort of high profile match, so that natural disasters line falls a bit flat.
Hogan’s rebuttal was weak at best
Why these two didn't clash at Wrestlemania 8 I shall NEVER know. It is a considerable loss to the business in my opinion. Hogan and Flair would have made history.
I'm here because of Jay Lethal lol
I remember when Flair wrestled Hogan at the Sun Dome in Tampa back in 1992. Flair KO’d Hogan with brass knuckles and pinned him. The crowd went apeshit...they loved it! When the ref reversed the decision, the entire arena booed. The bloom had been off Hogan’s rose for a while, but unless you went to a live show at that time, you’d never really know the truth.
These old school promos are awesome. Made you excited for the matches.
Best promo ever ric is the best on mic and on the mat.
Haha, Jay Lethal made exactly that imitation on Ric Flair podcast.
Flair, flair, flair, flair, fliar... I spit my drink all over the floor ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the theatrics made wrestling. Epic!!
Man O Man O Man did WWF blow this one.
the caption you gave this upload is perfect!! sums it up! idc what few shows did for money. this was is and always be the main event anywhere anytime
Biggest McMahon mistake was not going through with this angle for WrestleMania VIII. For those like me who grew up in the eighties as wrestling fans, Flair vs. Hogan was THE dream match from mid 1984 onward. All through the Horseman era in the NWA and the Hogan/Andre-Hogan/Savage era WWF the Flair vs. Hogan match was the thing of legend. PWI ran stories every few months contemplating it...it was THE dream. Then 1991 comes and Flair's iconic Big Gold belt shows up on the end of the syndicated Wrestling Challenge TV show in the hands of Bobby Heenan. EVERYONE who was a big fan marked out and we all figured, it's mid year hopefully there's enough time to build it to WrestleMania. Back then angles were given time to heat up and grow, unlike the two week feuds of today's WWE. When the first house show figures came back from MSG, the Spectrum and the Forum in L.A. we all thought WM8 was a lock for the epic dream match. Then, as quickly as it appeared, the angle dissolved and Flair went through Piper first en route to a Savage WM8 match and Hogan was put with Sid Vicious. The real WHY? has never been answered. Some say it was bad feedback and sales from the Flair/Hogan house show run (which is bullshit as now released footage of some of the matches show great attendance and although feeling each other out, the two worked well together from jumpstreet) or McMahon was worried that with Hogan leaving after WM8 to play actor for awhile a heel champion Flair wouldn't be good for business. Its been said the fact that a hefty sum had been paid to Sid to come to the WWF prompted Vince to put him with the biggest name possible, knowing Flair/Savage were great talents who could put on a better match than Flair/Hogan. Whatever the reasoning, fans alive during this unforgettable time will always wonder "What if?" and even though Flair and Hogan wrestled 100 times since then it was that first PPV match, at a WrestleMania, that truly captured the fans hearts and imaginations.
