I can see why he said it. Flair had the entire package. Drew money everywhere he went. Worked hard, wanted to work 7 days a week lol . Could have 5 star matches.
@@anthonylove1364 flairs style was a little too much comedy for me to be all that, in the ring and on the mic. To be the best in an exhibition, you have to be more credible in my opinion. But i've never witnessed Flair in his prime first hand. I watched Flair from like 92 to 2000 and some 80s stuff on youtube
I was there and saw several of his hour long matches in Greensboro NC, in the 1980s. Flair was amazing in his prime. I don’t think I ever saw anyone work harder and longer. His matches with Steamboat alone are some of the greatest wrestling matches of all time.
I love how Harley's advice to the 10-year-old was basically "become an amateur wrestler so that you can shoot if you need to get your way." LOL - Harley, my all-time favorite.
Harley Race is such a deep passionate guy spoken from the heart ❤️ and just smart as heck such respect for Ric and articulate both of them just very intelligent well spoken such respect for each other. Beautiful
Harley Race Ric Flair and Ray Stevens what a car ride. 2 NWA World Champions and Ray Stevens who never was, an NWA World Champion was every bit as good as Ric and Harley.
@@steveo976 Exactly. Australian IWA World Champion, Australian IWA tag team Champion with Art Nelson, AWA tag Champion with Nick Bockwinkel numerous times. Champion in Roy Shire's San Francisco promotion and plenty more throughout the USA.
There were some great matches, I’ve been checking them out on RUclips. Imagine all the great match’s done not recorded? Our loss, chance in attendance gain.
@steveo976 Very true. Ray Stevens was at his very best in the 60s and there is basically very very little footage of him. So disappointing the tv studio recordings used to get erased and the tapes recorded on again and in nearly all cases eventually thrown out. Any decent matches and promos interviews that survived 60s and 70s we are privileged for any good ones. 👍
It would have been special to see harley, flair, terry, rhodes and all others who were still around back then. The nwa champs talking about the touring ect.
I missed that question, a woman asked/said "dont you get sick and tired and dragging that belt because its so heavy". Barry Windham said that in a shoot interview that, that is the reason he never wanted a title belt. Just another piece of luggage I forced to carry around.
It doesn't matter what anybody says those two are some of the greatest wrestlers to ever live they've been through the territories they started in the early seventies late 60s and they wrestled around the world two of the biggest Legends and they definitely earned my respect
Booze is pretty bad too. I've had a relapse and drank for 2 weeks and broke out with skin cancer. I mean, you don't put the booze in your lung but it fastens the growth of any type of cancer in your body, quickly I think smoking isn't all that bad if you don't overdo it and smoke in moderation. like 5-10 cigarettes a day will do nothing to you. The booze will take you out
@@shoeplayisbad1 i dont notice any difference from smoking and i do sports, and write everything down. you can smoke 5-10 cigarettes a day without noticing any difference at all when it comes to booze, it gets so bad, you might not be able to continue to do sports. and you will see a major difference on your paper when it comes to your weights/times/etc. you can go from hero to zero....not with smoking....
@@space_dogg wrong You won't notice a difference for a while with smoking One smoke damage your entire system Look it up on the effects it has. They also say one beer or drink a day has benefits. Smoking has none
@@shoeplayisbad1 if that's the case.... what about working a blue collar job. or just fixing your car in your garage. workin in a factory is a 100x worse and you have to do it just to have transportation or a meal. there are mininum wage jobs, and everyday stuff stuff people do in their everyday life, more deadly than smoking a cigarette here and there. a female spraying her hair every morning might be more cancerous than smoking a cigarette my grandpa smoked tobacco and died at 96 or something
I’m done celebrating Flair. He’s a pig and it’s a damn shame he gets a moment of attention anymore. Everyone gets angry about sex pests until it’s their favorite who’s guilty. 😒🙄🤦🏻♀️
First off.. If it were to be true do you actually think he would still be as loved and celebrated as he is? We live in a time where everyone is a sissy and people get "canceled" for saying the word fag.
Hearing Harley say that Ric was the greatest thing to enter the squared circle' was mindblowing. You can't ask for a better compliment

Remember if you talk your opponent up it makes you look better also that you could compete against them/ were in their generation
2009.....this is almost 14 years ago, THESE ARE THE TWO BEST, EVER!!!!!

2 of the greatest NWA world champions ever R.I.P to Harley Race
The two best to ever wear the ten pounds of gold. We we so lucky to be fans when Flair, Race and Bockwinkel walked the earth.
Harley Race is such a deep passionate guy spoken from the heart ❤️ and just smart as heck such respect for Ric and articulate both of them just very intelligent well spoken such respect for each other. Beautiful
A salute to the two greatest wrestlers ever Harley Race and Ric Flair the real deal wrestler
When Ric Flair selected Four Horsemen group for Harley Race, wow AWESOME AND PERFECT Choices: Harley Race, Terry Funk, Dick Murdoch and Jack Brisco.
Great interview. They didn't do a Mic check before the interview?
How cool is it that Baby Doll was there!
GOATs
The 2 greatest champs ever and the only true traveling world champions.
Harley Race Ric Flair and Ray Stevens what a car ride. 2 NWA World Champions and Ray Stevens who never was, an NWA World Champion was every bit as good as Ric and Harley.
Absolutely but Ray Stevens one in the NWA world tag team championship multiple times and many other championships. You are correct. What a ride.

a couple of goats
Why don’t so many of these guys avoid or not mention the wrestling magazines?
Tremendous video. Thanks for sharing it.
According to internet records: Harley Race's LAST MATCH was December 8, 1990 St. Joseph, MO. lost to Michael Wallstreet (aka Mike Rotundo)
It would have been special to see harley, flair, terry, rhodes and all others who were still around back then. The nwa champs talking about the touring ect.

what year is this from?
2009
Flair wearing the biggest cross I ever seen.
How times humble us.
What cross? I see an event pass
if you drive 100 you can get there in time to take a nap
Thank You
Highspots Wrestling Network
Love the stories on the road ..two greatest ever
Baby Doll have some nice buns

Crispy Cruiser!!!
Ric Flair

I saw these guys wrestle each other in Toronto...maple leaf gardens...both bleeding ...giving their all.
Baby Doll by far belonged with The Four Horsemen!
Kentucky is here!!!!
What year was this?
Around August 2008
I think someone in the video mentions it's 2009.
And it was the Marlboros that eventually killed both Harley and Brisco.

@@shoeplayisbad1 aew ,omega,Danielson, those japanese wrestlers, even mjf,mexican also,give it a try you'll be shocked
@@johnthegreat I disagree
Lots of high spots
No story telling or ring psychology
@@shoeplayisbad1 but the wrestling is as good as flair and steamboat
@@johnthegreat not even close
I wonder why Ric flair doesn't talk about how fake wrestling is in WWE
I’m done celebrating Flair. He’s a pig and it’s a damn shame he gets a moment of attention anymore. Everyone gets angry about sex pests until it’s their favorite who’s guilty. 😒🙄🤦🏻♀️
Waaaaahhhhh, cry-baby.

Who asked?
Okay then. The rest of us will go on celebrating the greatest professional wrestler ever.
Wooooooooooooooooooooo !!
Huh? What did he do?
