There isn't many positive fan interactions with Flair unfortunately. Some have said they have had negative experiences with Foley also, but that's quite a surprise as Mick is seen as a nice guy. Of course, Stevie Richards thinks otherwise.
They act like they are drunk, they start out arguing, start hitting themselves in the face, then compliment each other, then argue again, then start shadow boxing...yeah theyre drunk.
@@bananasngrapes8814 yes. Flair has so much scar tissue on his forehead from years of blading that it’s kinda easy for him to bleed from his forehead. Foley making himself bleed was nuts. He probably but his lip to bleed from the mouth but the way he bled from the temple he musta struck and twisted his fist a little to break the skin.
This promo should be preserved and shown to all new potential wrestlers as an instructional video on how to cut a promo. I've watched this probably 50 times and it never gets old. Partly because Flair is the greatest of all time IMO but mostly because its a damn perfect promo.
I actually went to a TNA show at Universal around this time. The fact this is free with the price of admission is unbelievable! These folks def got their money's worth for the day!
That is nuts but it does seem that it often lead to dead crowds where if it was paid admission and not tied to the park, it would have had much more lively crowds but they did the shows across the country thing a little too late.
The intensity and delivery of these promos are godly. If only the young talent had this amount of promo skills. Sucks that 50-60 year old men had to show out like this.
Stop called name “Boston” you are should said Massachusetts that real name for state Boston DON’T name for state it for city! I am proud of Massachusetts state so respect a other who live in state as name do use “Boston, Ma” that fine with us! Next time just call “Massachusetts”
Better then any promo you will ever see in WWE sure it may be a a bit over the top at times but these two have one thing that most in WWE dont seem to have when it comes to promos true passion.
This has gotta be the greatest promo of the past three years in tna idk how the match will be but both these guys are gold on the mic !! and legends thank you ric and mick for making this impact entertaining
Their Match at Impact was what it was supposed to be. It was Brutal, but not in a washed up old wrestler type of way. The Match was extreme! There were some great spots, and some good chemistry between the two. Hopefully they continue this fued and have one more match together. They always seem to bring the roof down when they step in the ring together under hardcore rules. Also, the spot in the match where Flair threw Foley off the ramp and through the table was insane!
@@marylandman12 how is it sad? Two old broken wrestlers trying to steal the spotlight. Beating themselves bloody. They were both worn out after the promo They should have retired.
I'm happy I met Mick. I have a photo of me holding a barbed wire bat against his head while he's looking like he's yelling in pain, and I'm practically roaring into the camera
I know mic foley has sustained a lot of damage being the hardcore legend and what not but did he really bruise up and bleed that bad or he went a little to hard with the blade. at the end you can see he cautious when trying to sap his face again.
The best part of this promo is that Flair really hates Foley with every inch of his body but at the sametime Foley demands his respect. You can feel that shit.
Awesome! Both of these men are absolute gold on the mic. There Match should prove to be a 20 minute classic. In my opinion, this will be match of the night for next week! Foley and Flair can still go, and will fight each other in a bloody, brilliant match that will open everyone's eyes to the awesomeness that is TNA. Everyone might think that this match is unnecessary, but they are wrong. Foley is the head of EV 2.0 and Flair is the head of Fortune, so this is very appropriate!
That's the thing when you and someone have an intense dislike between the 2 of you and you've been at eachothers throats back and forth back and forth for years and years eventually those feelings of mutual dislike eventually will become mutual respect eventually begrudgingly admitting to yourself that in some small way you needed them like they needed you though you'll never admit it out loud creating a mutual bond between the 2 of you
I laugh so many times whenever ric flair's face turns red and goes all crazy cause I thought with the person at that age, should have a frickin heart attack XD
Flair is well known for blading, but in this instance, there is a way to hit yourself just right so you split the skin and cause a bleed. Terry Funk was one of the last wrestlers to do it that way though.
This is absolutely fucking wonderful.
Flair is an absolute prick IRL and Foley is a thoroughly kind person IRL so you couldn't have a better face off.
Foley & Flair rule

I dont believe it.
Ric Flair is the definition of high blood pressure.
my mum said the exact same thing she 1st saw him lmao
I like it.
That's not Ric Flair, that's GOD, he's GOD, and don't you forget that Ric Flair is GOD of TNA.
@@walterschivo9123 The god of wrestling for sure. Foley... I saw him 2 weeks ago... he can barely get up off the mat.
Ric flair is the definition of insanity
I've been watching wrestling for 30 years. I can honestly say this is the greatest promo ever.
Yeah and it wasnt produced by the wwe
Same here and agreed brother .
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@TomokoMeiyo well thats what im saying. Wwe takes too much credit for what the wrestlers do
50cent and the other other that I have a a day daI 77y
I still want to see Flair in a Handicap Cage match against all of Mick Foley's books.
Better not make it first blood, he'd lose by paper cut in 2 seconds
That right there is the greatest wrestling related line of all time!
Heh i bet ya'll i can wrestle agenst booker T's book
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I love the intensity in this promo! The younger guys need to take notes
SLJR16 agreed
because it real life heat
A lot of it had to do with real life
The younger guys want to be “cool”. The older guys sold “crazy”. There’s no cool without crazy.
they actually had beef lol
They act like they are drunk, they start out arguing, start hitting themselves in the face, then compliment each other, then argue again, then start shadow boxing...yeah theyre drunk.
you forgot to mention the air humping at the end by Ric
Efed Vids ric wakes up drunk bro lol
Flair is on cocaine
@@PhenomenalPlaya drugs
Flair is drunk, for sure. He usually was during in promos.
The book sold that knee like a boss.
😂😂😂
😂
imo the best part of any Flair bit is him elbow dropping either nothing or inanimate objects
Well it was a hard cover.
You're a family man. I'm happy for you for that . Best line in a heel promo
Two old men, standing in the middle of an indefferent crowd, punching themselves in the head. Fucking stunning! This is the absolute paradigm of epic.
was that real blood
Foley wasn't that old here
@@bananasngrapes8814 yeah did u not know flair and foley blade before they go to sleep why wouldn’t they do it here

Flair is top 5 yes
Big facts
Im sorry I love the Rock to death ... but as long as the goat Ric Flair is alive ... the Rock will always be second best entertainer !!

Flair was gold in TNA.
He's still gold
@Jack Parsons he never was in his career or just tna?
Jack Parsons lol good one guy. That’s why he’s the 16 time world heavyweight champion. WOOOOOOOO. And respected by all the wrestling legends.
@Jack Parsons yeah. A "jobber" lol
Jack Parsons Jobbers don’t make they kinda money ric made even if he’s broke now.
" YOUR BALLS ARE BIG AGAIN " HAHAHAHAHA
Greatest Man That Ever Lived 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hahahaha
Are we sure Jeff Hardy was the only one high around this time?
I was
lol
Lol but this was great
Lol flair is a damn lunatic
So stupid... Nobody can take cocaine for 30years and be like flair... He's just crazy...
greatest moment in TNA history
The Art of Cutting a Promo.
On drugs and alcohol
I come back to this all the time. It's hands down, one of the best promos I've ever seen. They don't do them like this anymore
I seriously loved watching this on TV, I was so proud to have watched TNA at the right time when this came on.
Ric's mic work in TNA is criminally overlooked
Well it's terrible.
Nope. The paradox - "father of a year, couch potato" shows his excellence @@alphanerd7221
@@alphanerd7221hater
This promo was fucking awsome how can u not love ric flair and mick foley.
I met em both Flair was a Dick when I met him and Foley was nice when I met him but I love both of em as wrestlers

I just love how crazy flair goes at the end shadow boxing and air humping
The intensity and delivery of these promos are godly. If only the young talent had this amount of promo skills. Sucks that 50-60 year old men had to show out like this.
Lizzandro Alvarez it’s the booking it’s not there fault
Back in the day they focused on guys with personality and size, these days it’s smaller flippy flop guys.
Yes when will young talent learn to compulsively interrupt and stop mid promo to shake the ropes and make noises.
Bet he even safely elbowed and knee dropped the book so it wouldn't get seriously injured.
That book sold pretty well.
How good flair is that book didnt have a dent in it,except when he kicked it,wow dude paper cant get bent by ric
Most wrestlers need to watch this promo & learn from it
This is the legacy Charlotte has to live up to
Yeah, Not the Triple H/Brock Lesnar Heel Style legacy
Yup you can't copy WWE ever, douchebag!
Heh wish Charlotte can act exactly like that
She doesn't have to live up to it. Daddy McMahon hands everything to her on a silver platter.
🤣🤣🤣
The crowd is so dead this shoot should have been done in up north city like Jersey, New York, Boston, Philly, Detroit, and Chicago
Nicolas Pradine I was about to comment how much this crowd sucked
Stop called name “Boston” you are should said Massachusetts that real name for state Boston DON’T name for state it for city! I am proud of Massachusetts state so respect a other who live in state as name do use “Boston, Ma” that fine with us! Next time just call “Massachusetts”

That segment was very EPIC!!! Two Legends.
These two went absolutely INSANE in this promo. Hilarious!
Flair hitting himself and making himself bleed are my favorite Ric Flair promos
was that blood real
@@bananasngrapes8814 Yes
He’s bladed so much over the years, it didn’t take much. His forehead is all scar tissue.
So much animosity right here, and their match at Summerslam 2006.
i know this may seem weird but this promo almost brought me to tears.. the fact that these guys this business is all they have
When Flair started thrusting his hips Foley was dieing to laugh.
If I could see promos like this with so much heart in wrestling nowadays,I’d probably still be watching.
The strongest motivator I have ever seen ..Ric Flair The wrestling god indeed....I wish I had witnessed one of matches live at any arena on a ppv
One of the best in-ring promos I've ever seen.
Epic! Absolutely epic. One of the best impact moments ever.
They're both actually hilarious in this.
4:25 It's so funny when Foley is hitting himself like a madman, you can see people laughing in the background.
I loved how TNA brought the fans such interesting and new storylines we never saw before. They were the definition of innovation.....
They were pioneers, Hollywood took notes! Now movies are remade and rebooted after 5 years, all thanks to the road paved by the great TNA!
I bet pain killers and viagra had a increase sale with Mick and Richard were done with that match.

Hands down one of the best promos ever shot......period!

Ric Flair's face gets so red as this promo goes on it almost looks purple. Towards the end it looks like his head is literally going to explode.
flair gave Halle berry a free ride on space mountain lol
I absolutely love Ric Flairs energy. Hes so alive
Better then any promo you will ever see in WWE sure it may be a a bit over the top at times but these two have one thing that most in WWE dont seem to have when it comes to promos true passion.
"JUST LIKE SUPERMAN, JUST LIKE SUPERMAN!!!"
“I can turn that costume around.”
*”What do you want to talk about asshole?”*
best. promo. ever.
“You’ve been at home selling books!” 😂 man haven’t laughed that hard in a lonnnnnggg time
Credit to both these legends - ric flair redefined ‘intensity’ to a whole new level
Flairs blood pressure would pop the top off any gage! Him being so out of breath it's terrifying ! I'm worried for him.
Both men are extremely breakable and fragile at this point, except Mick's is due to being the hardcore legend and Ric's is due to him being a geezer.
young wrestlers need to take notice of legends like these before the art of wrestling dies
this wasnt entirely scripted. Facts
You realize they really hate each other in real life. It's crazy how Foley can dislike anyone or anyone disliking Foley
@@LilBrujoFH18 there OK now. Flair punched foley but I heard it didnt make a mark but I think there cool though
This has gotta be the greatest promo of the past three years in tna idk how the match will be but both these guys are gold on the mic !! and legends thank you ric and mick for making this impact entertaining
This is so classic I think this feud is better than the one they had in WWE
Both men enter the ring looking normal, both men leave looking bruised and bloodied, and not once did they lay a hand on each other..lol..classic
This confused me, they hated each other then complimented each other midway through, then went back to hating and insulting each other. Confusion.
Guess the nuance of having respect or admiration for your enemy while still hating/resenting them is too nuanced to not be confusing to you.
Deathbrewer it took me 3 years to see this but all the same, you're an idiot.
Ric's flip outs are so awesome, it makes you wish you can be that unstable. He makes it look fun and cool!🤣
Lol yeah same here, when I do a ric flair outburst people threaten me with the police
Flair humping the air is priceless.
