I agree! On a national level, JCP was indeed a precursor to the Attitude Era! Once the mid 80's hit, TBS had MUCH MORE penetration in the United States than 5 to 10 years prior. Once JCP got that slot, they brought that adult oriented blood, guts, sexual innuendo, etc. to the national stage. And they had epic in ring action to boot! JCP was in front of huge crowds all over the country. When u look at ECW, they certainly influenced WWF's Attitude Era for sure. BUT in terms of a large company on a cable juggernaut built around blood, violent, sexual promos, and innovative matches, JCP was THE PRECURSOR to Vince's attitude Era. The difference was VInce had the business acumen to truly get the most out of it.
Looking back, it's hard to believe how risque Ric Flair's promos often were, especially during the supposedly more "conservative '80s". I guess the closest person in WWF who was doing that sort of thing around that time period was Rick Rude. But Rude I don't recall didn't get close to the amount of blatant sexual innuendo that Flair got in his promos.
@@TMC1982Part2 I guess you missed Rude doing a striptease at the Slammys in 87, and as he pulled down his underwear Gene Okerlund covered him with a towel...
As a child you wanted to be hogan but as a man you want to be flair. “If I ever have a heart attack it’s gunna be while I’m on top of your girlfriend pal.”
And I'm proud to own an almost 100% accurate replica (in the truest sense of the world) of it. I'll never part with my Classic Shields Crumrine Big Gold.
Remember when Al Bundy was pissed about the baseball strike and formed the National Nudie Bar League? One of the teams was the Buffalo Bodacious Tatas! 🤣🤣🤣 Not sure why I remember that joke, but no way did that not come from this promo. The creators were wrestling fans and didn't hide it.
Flair was "Attitude Era" way before that term was a thing. lol

That promo would go down as a felony today - lmao, so good.
The greatest promos ever
This guy got swag
the best belt ever made
And I'm proud to own an almost 100% accurate replica (in the truest sense of the world) of it. I'll never part with my Classic Shields Crumrine Big Gold.
Big facts. No cap.
The best world championship belt I’ve ever seen. Woo!
His promo's in the 80's were the best. Once he got to the WWE most of his promo's sounded scripted and probably were
he lose his confident when he come to WWE
big long limousines, private jets, tailor-made clothes, and any woman I want (snap), just like that! WOOOOO!!!
Slick Rick
pro wrestling was the best soap opera for me
damn.. he called hawk out... No viagra in the 80s

...in the days when the World Champion belt had prestige
Legend....
This guy's shoes cost more than your house!
He spent more on spilled liquor last year than you made! AWESOME line!!
Hey guys. Is it me or does it look like his name is spelled with a "K"? Sometimes it so hard to tell with all that bling sparkling
Love that belt
one of naitchs best lines ever
Rick Flair invented the mullet.
Awesome!
That suit though...
I finally got that belt guys!
Best heel ever. E. Ver.
Custom made from head to toe!!!!=)
I can't believe they actually spelled his name wrong (Rick) on that belt! 😕
👌🏾
This might be a dumb question but what are "ta ta's"? Lol😂
He means tiddies
I use to enjoy wrestling .
He would never be allowed to say that on tv or in wwe especially today
cocaine is a helluva drug
Believe it or not, he didn't do coke. Alcohol was his choice of drug.
Dirty Laundry WOOOOOOOO
@@soxyankees yeah, Flair has never been a drug addict, but he used to drink like a fish.
Meer meer.....
:)
Jodie Flair Woooooooo
So, he settles for Hawk's sloppy seconds?
Haha!!!
