After hearing Brett Hart talk about how WCW flew him private, had limos picking him up, 5 star hotels, and getting paid 10s of thousands per week , I would have love to work for WCW then, and thats why Vince lost his talent. Imagine having to go back to Vince riding 4 deep in a rental car and having a room mate at the holiday inn making hundreds per week. That was the worst part of Vince losing his competition for his wrestlers I bet, he did not have to do anything special and they were begging him for work.
The key thing that always gets forgotten about this was that 2K loved this! They were overjoyed that a boring game panel was so entertaining. There was an interview with a guy on the dev team where he said if the game hadn't already gone gold (been finished) this would've been something they would want in the games extras. Of course the WWE i.e. Stephanie and Vince mainly, were outraged and wanted someone's head...JR's was the one taken. It was WWE who called Flair, 4 months after he just lost his son to an OD, and asked him if he'd do the panel for 2K. For three weeks between his saying yes & the event, no one stopped to think if Flair, a notorious alcoholic, would be capable of making a public appearance where there would be drinks?! It's insane. Ross got shafted and Flair was just being himself... that's why we love him. Yes, he trying to smother his pain in booze but he also wanted to hang with the boys. Of course he'd say yes. This was a pure case of outrage culture in the corporate world.
@@RobwLPOC Yeah Reid died 3/29/2013 and the WWE 2K14 symposium was on 8/17/2013. On Ric's 30 for 30 on ESPN he talk about using alcohol as a crutch to survive losing his son... He felt responsible because he drank with Reid & didn't step in as a father.
@@stevenweathers2989 Believe me I've been critical of Flair going back on his Dr's advice to continue drinking occasionally after his two health scares. But he's an adult and he makes his own rules. I read that one of the reasons he asked for his Legends deal release this month was because they'd been coming down on him again about his lifestyle. Sorry, he's RIC FLAIR. He is not going to change, and as much as I love the guy and would like to see him live forever, he doesn't have to do shit for anyone that he doesn't want to. And I admit I respect that attitude. There's much greater sins then buying Naitch a Kamikaze...
I think it's more so that they got angry converence meetings from the brand JR mocked and if they say we are going to pull all of our sponsorship money out for the future the question becomes for wwe is JR worth that money, those huuge sums of cash, millions. And not only that if one sponsor pulls out for legimite reason it creates a fear of possibility of other sponsors pulling out because it would send a message that wwe don't care about their sponsors or does getting new big sponsors hard after that (I don't think that would have happened but it absolutely is something that comes into consideration). They are not going to fire the guy just because they made it entertaining by making it a circus exactly because it's wwe and if the game company loved it. If it would have been like an basketball commentator they would have been gone in a minute just by showing up drunk.
@@indiasupportstrumpwwg1wga927 Right. It's funny because it's true. He said what everybody was thinking. He didn't even try to answer because he knows he doesn't belong up there w/ legends.
@@BlackAngus555 somebody just sent a question into Jr's podcast LOL there was the Symposium where you were hosting and Ric Flair was drunk you got fired Ric Flair got Statue what happened? Jr thought that was pretty damn funny
He is pretty great, it's not like he is a schlub, he earned these years of being drunk when he was going town to town having hour long matches with Steamboatand going into ladder matches when he was 55, the guy is great.
14:10 Perfect fvcking timing! Daniel could have saved it but just made it worse! "I honestly feel like I don't belong here". xD And it all goes down hill from here baby... WOO!!!
Watched a documentary about a flight from the UK that went bad. In that JR said he was in charge of the talent. He also mentions Ric has dirt on people and does not get held accountable the same.
How do you fire JR after this. Flair and other guys reacting to Flair made this better than ANYTHING those moronic writers could've even planned for any kind of WWE event. They need to expand WWE 24/7 on demand to AT&T too. I miss watching the Legends of Wrestling roundtable.
All the new age WWE guys were all playing their part doing the whole G rated thing and the old school boys just came in and just showed you why the old school wwF was so much better
If WWE aired a panel with legends (and a couple future legends) drinking and answering questions out of character every Thursday night, TNA would be out of business quickly.
Love this! Ziggler was in hysterics the whole time. Can't believe JR was forced out because of it though, how in the blue hell would you be able to stop Flair haha. Great watch.
Daniel's reaction when Ric goes"No one get married out here please," is absolutely priceless. I still can't believe they fired JR because of Rey's behaviour during this thing....
J.R is absolutely hilarious, of all the people that have tried comedy in wrestling I think J.R would be the best, he's very sharp and dry and has excellent timing. He made me laugh out loud a few times here.
I know that someone already basically said this, but I would literally PAY to watch ric sit and tell stories while hammered. If they would give that cat a Comedy special on PPV, this company would make MILLIONS off of the +Teen Audience!
agree...these knew guys are so controlled by the business like society at large. the human touch has largely been lost...hearing flair talk about real life things while on the road with legends like Harley and the horsemen etc is priceless
heres the story about this video for anyone wondering. rick flairs son died and was on a massive drinking spree. JR said before all this i dont think we should have flair there. eveyrone else said we should. Jr had one drink, his cerebral palsy has paralyzed his face so he constantly doesnt smile and looks and talks drunk alot. Jr didnt have a earpiece for people backstage to communicate with him. They were mad that JR didnt pull rick flair out and honorably discharge him from the stage. They blamed jr and said he was also drunk which he was not only flair was. flairs son had just died of a heroin overdose. also jr bashed twitch which was streaming the event or sponsering or something, he also got in trouble for saying grey goose sponosred flair making fun of flair being drunk. so thats that
Imagine how bad the crowd would have turned on Jim Ross if he had tried to kick the goat Ric Flair off stage or told him to shut up? He'd be the biggest heel in the last decade of wrestling
@@Turk_2023 that i did, hahahah. i actually turned my notifications on this year and realized some of my comments had gone viral for years and i had no clue lol
Man Ric Flair should what Foley is doing, now Stand Up Comedy. have Drunk Ric tour 2014. hell id pay my money ,Gladly. this is one of the most entertaining things ive seen in awhile. I don't think that WWE will want Flair displayed publicly in New Orleans in April. The WWE wont ever have Flair in a Uncensored way again on a Show, but Its fucking Funny.
JR did not handle this well. Whenever there was a break in between Flair stories, JR would let everyone know that he had lost control instead of just moving on to Dolph or Rey and asking them direct questions. Not saying he deserved to be fired, but you're in an industry where you have to think fast and improvise at times, he should've handled this better.
Two things. --- 1. This was awesome. They should have given this group all the time they wanted to talk and just let the cameras keep rolling. 2. We don't see any gameplay video until after they cut the interview. They should have had samples or live gameplay rolling on the screen behind them to show it off. I'd say that occasional samples of wrestlers would have worked best during or after specific questions.
I love this. CM Punk is -- and Daniel Bryan should be soon -- in AEW and will have that match with JR and Tony calling it. All these guys looked like they were having a blast. Flair is a national treasure.
why are people so mad at jr all he threw out was a cuss word here and there but i understand why this got him fired. ric flair was out of his shoes drunk. still makes me laugh anyway.
this is sort of sad, listening to Rick's stories about drinking, and drinking, and "remember that time when we went to the bar" and "only guy who drank more than me had 3 kidney transplants".
Nelly Nelz Ya I don't know either they say it's cause JR couldn't control Flair who was drunk and said a few swear words and going off script? WWE thought it was bad enough that Stephanie McMahon came out and publicly apologized for the event
@@bullock4211 I mean seriously, Jim Ross is supposed to tell Ric freaking Flair one of the greatest promo men of all time to shut up? Is Jim Ross seriously going to tell the 16-time world champion to get off stage? JR would immediately be the number one Heel in all of wrestling🤼♂️
Tna deserves no respect it's the worst run wrestling company of all time, nobody even knows it exists It did a 0.7 rating last week tna should just be happy that their company got plugged for free on somthing people will actually watch
David E Well obviously you know it exists, I know it exists, I have many friends that know it exists, and we all love it, at least what TNA puts out their doesn't constantly insult your intelligence like Disneyland on Monday nights, and really why are you attacking me because you don't like TNA (even though I doubt you've given it a chance) I mean wrestling is subjective, if I like it, and I think it's entertaining then what's the big deal I don't care if you like WWE, I mean more power to you, but once you grow up (or mature if you've already grown up) you'll realize that WWE is a show for kids, TNA is aimed at a more mature audience.
I've given it many chances the aces and eights were horrible, bully Ray is a middle of the road tag team guy who didn't draw dick and now that aces and eights is over I gave it another chance and I see this aj styles Dixie carter copying cm punk and Vince McMahon shit and their rip off of the authority it's horrible and if you think it's good your holding onto a dream cause it's the joke of the wrestling world and everyone knows it
David E I agree after a while Aces and Eights got pretty stale and boring but Bully Ray himself is a great singles heel, and if you are seriously saying aj styles and Dixie carter are copying the punk McMahon thing then you'd have to say that the Punk McMahon thing is a rip off of Ric Flair when he came to WWF with the NWA title, oh but I bet you didn't even know that that happened because all you are is a pg bullcrap WWE fan that isn't willing to say enough is enough with the WWE, the authority is just a gimmick so that sniffle h can get attention and bury young talent like Daniel Bryan. WWE has been doing the same thing with John Cena and Randy Orton for 7 years and if you are seriously gonna use ratings to defend Disneyland then guess what Raw has the lowest ratings its had in 15 years. Oh and once again obviously everyone doesn't "know it" because I have tons of friends that love TNA and I know of tons of people I'm not friends with that love it. WRESTLING IS SUBJECTIVE. Look up what subjective means buddy.
Idiot ratings do matter why do you think tna is failing ? Their isn't Enough money coming in to keep it going which is why they had to release half the roster so clearly ratings do matter. Wwe pushes stale talent? Tna has hogan as the face of their company for the past 2 years, they continue to have stings 54 year old ass in main event story lines as well as Kurt angle bully ray and other wwe alumni who are the only reason that company is still open. At least cena and orton are in their prime and they both draw massively. Just because Daniel Bryan isn't in the title picture anymore doesn't mean they aren't pushing him he's in a storyline with the Wyatt's you'd think people would aprreciate the wrestler wether he's near the title or not. Don't insult my knowledge of the buisness judging by me liking wwe I know very well what goes on in tna but I'm saying the main stream audience has no clue what it is only the smarter fans which is a minority. There's a diffrence between punk copying flair from 30 years ago almost everything in wrestling these days is ripped from old nwa and mid south ect, but punk mcmahon happend a year ago and your only kidding yourself if you think tna isn't trying to cash on on that success, like whatever you want but trying to say the product is anywhere near a wwe level is hilarious! Ric flair clearly thinks it's a joke, ex tna employees such as konnan Christian booker t Kevin nash kharma have all said the company is trash and I take their word over yours homie
Finally getting around to watching this, J.R. wasn't fired for not keeping control of the show, he was fired for his language while representing a company aimed at kids.
At 4:32 someone farted. And it’s been happening since the beginning when Jim Ross was talking and no one was on stage. Idk if it’s from the person filming or Jim or if it’s something else! Lol
One word to the management and people above the superstars actions please lighten up...you got to...this is a classic. One thing we love as people is being able to see well respected professionals being down to earth. I always will have respect for their talents and now most definitely have respect for them as a person outside the business.EPIC
That was the most entertaining thing WWE has put out in about a decade
LMAO SO FUCKIN TRUE
Yeah too bad Jim Ross got fired for it
Agreed! 😂😂😂
My opinion it is in the top 10!
dude i felt like i was right there in the croud
They should have 3 Ric Flairs in the game, Retro, Old, and drunk.
LOOL Drunk flair omg he be standing, telling stories, chopping and laughing.
🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget naked
The drunk flair will have a taunt of him doing the helicopter with his *ock
What a line: “Who can work for WCW and not drink?!” With JR, Foley, Heyman, Austin, Flair, and Mysterio on the stage 😂

rick flairs son died and was on a massive drinking spree. JR said before all this i dont think we should have flair there. eveyrone else said we should. Jr had one drink, his cerebral palsy has paralyzed his face so he constantly doesnt smile and looks and talks drunk alot. Jr didnt have a earpiece for people backstage to communicate with him. They were mad that JR didnt pull rick flair out and honorably discharge him from the stage.

@@bullock4211 I mean seriously, Jim Ross is supposed to tell Ric freaking Flair one of the greatest promo men of all time to shut up? Is Jim Ross seriously going to tell the 16-time world champion to get off stage? JR would immediately be the number one Heel in all of wrestling🤼♂️
My money on is when ric said John cena drinks 30 beers on a road trip
Really though Flair? "oh whatever that company is called, TNA." Total disrespect
Tna deserves no respect it's the worst run wrestling company of all time, nobody even knows it exists It did a 0.7 rating last week tna should just be happy that their company got plugged for free on somthing people will actually watch
David E Well obviously you know it exists, I know it exists, I have many friends that know it exists, and we all love it, at least what TNA puts out their doesn't constantly insult your intelligence like Disneyland on Monday nights, and really why are you attacking me because you don't like TNA (even though I doubt you've given it a chance) I mean wrestling is subjective, if I like it, and I think it's entertaining then what's the big deal I don't care if you like WWE, I mean more power to you, but once you grow up (or mature if you've already grown up) you'll realize that WWE is a show for kids, TNA is aimed at a more mature audience.
I've given it many chances the aces and eights were horrible, bully Ray is a middle of the road tag team guy who didn't draw dick and now that aces and eights is over I gave it another chance and I see this aj styles Dixie carter copying cm punk and Vince McMahon shit and their rip off of the authority it's horrible and if you think it's good your holding onto a dream cause it's the joke of the wrestling world and everyone knows it
David E I agree after a while Aces and Eights got pretty stale and boring but Bully Ray himself is a great singles heel, and if you are seriously saying aj styles and Dixie carter are copying the punk McMahon thing then you'd have to say that the Punk McMahon thing is a rip off of Ric Flair when he came to WWF with the NWA title, oh but I bet you didn't even know that that happened because all you are is a pg bullcrap WWE fan that isn't willing to say enough is enough with the WWE, the authority is just a gimmick so that sniffle h can get attention and bury young talent like Daniel Bryan. WWE has been doing the same thing with John Cena and Randy Orton for 7 years and if you are seriously gonna use ratings to defend Disneyland then guess what Raw has the lowest ratings its had in 15 years. Oh and once again obviously everyone doesn't "know it" because I have tons of friends that love TNA and I know of tons of people I'm not friends with that love it. WRESTLING IS SUBJECTIVE. Look up what subjective means buddy.
Idiot ratings do matter why do you think tna is failing ? Their isn't Enough money coming in to keep it going which is why they had to release half the roster so clearly ratings do matter. Wwe pushes stale talent? Tna has hogan as the face of their company for the past 2 years, they continue to have stings 54 year old ass in main event story lines as well as Kurt angle bully ray and other wwe alumni who are the only reason that company is still open. At least cena and orton are in their prime and they both draw massively. Just because Daniel Bryan isn't in the title picture anymore doesn't mean they aren't pushing him he's in a storyline with the Wyatt's you'd think people would aprreciate the wrestler wether he's near the title or not. Don't insult my knowledge of the buisness judging by me liking wwe I know very well what goes on in tna but I'm saying the main stream audience has no clue what it is only the smarter fans which is a minority. There's a diffrence between punk copying flair from 30 years ago almost everything in wrestling these days is ripped from old nwa and mid south ect, but punk mcmahon happend a year ago and your only kidding yourself if you think tna isn't trying to cash on on that success, like whatever you want but trying to say the product is anywhere near a wwe level is hilarious! Ric flair clearly thinks it's a joke, ex tna employees such as konnan Christian booker t Kevin nash kharma have all said the company is trash and I take their word over yours homie
Finally getting around to watching this, J.R. wasn't fired for not keeping control of the show, he was fired for his language while representing a company aimed at kids.
the best press conference of all time
J.R handled it pretty well...
And paul was helping jim by ripping all the questione to flair
At 4:32 someone farted. And it’s been happening since the beginning when Jim Ross was talking and no one was on stage. Idk if it’s from the person filming or Jim or if it’s something else! Lol
Did somebody sedate Austin??
Flair is a treasure. Never change!
Don't fool yourself - they've been trying to get rid of JR for years. He was just too loyal to justify it
One word to the management and people above the superstars actions please lighten up...you got to...this is a classic. One thing we love as people is being able to see well respected professionals being down to earth. I always will have respect for their talents and now most definitely have respect for them as a person outside the business.EPIC
