Territorial Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Flair interview is up...this is awesome. Some highlights... The Wahoo vasectomy story. Flair spent $10K a month on clothes in the 1980's. The lady who made Austin's first robe got busted for shoplifting the sequins. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Flair spends $10K a month on clothes now. There was some talk about his spending on the Flair-Piper Wife Swap episode that aired a month or two back. Ric is still living the gimmick, to put it mildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That story from the plane crash about telling the paramedic to get a chick's number from his bag is great. Flair thought he was going to die and didn't want his wife to find it. "Shelia, I love you, but not tonight." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ric's memory is spotty and he's doing that thing where he says a joke and then says it again at the end of his story. It's a bit weird but I still enjoyed hearing him tell stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I really enjoyed the Flair show, can't wait for part 2. I love hearing how Johnny Valentine just completely ignored him, when they first started riding together, and just played opera music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Flair part 2. Harley Race slapping Jumbo stories. Fucking great. Austin has the best wrestling related show going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit weird but I still enjoyed hearing him tell stories. The worse memory issue is that Flair said he was on the show where Brody was murdered. I think it has been proven that wasn't true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 IIRC Gonzalez did have a son that died like that but it happened years earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sweet, The King probably has some really good stories that I haven't heard. I hope he can get Dusty Rhodes on soon, that dude probably has all types of crazy stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Flair part 2 was brilliant, "are you kidding me" must have been said about a billion times. As said above Flairs sketchy memory is fantastic. I had never heard the "Spartacus" Flair story before, brilliant stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Listening to the Samoa Joe interview. "Like a white submarine headed into the Bermooda Triangle!" Sweet fancy Moses I howled.

Big Z Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The new Helms one is much more serious because of his motorcycle accident while under the influence, but still a great listen and some cool wrestling tidbits thrown in. I cannot believe that Helms returned to the ring following that accident and already having a fused neck, and I think he is smart enough to be successful in a less physical venture.

Petey Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Flair part 2 was brilliant, "are you kidding me" must have been said about a billion times. As said above Flairs sketchy memory is fantastic. I had never heard the "Spartacus" Flair story before, brilliant stuff! I haven't finished part two yet but my favorite part of Flair's memory is that he's so sure of everything he's saying. Most guys with sketchy memories either note that they don't remember or you can tell are struggling to recall certain events... Flair says everything like he's 100% positive. It's great. Listening to the Samoa Joe interview. "Like a white submarine headed into the Bermooda Triangle!" Sweet fancy Moses I howled. Joe's a lot of fun in this but he needs to slow the hell down and take some breaths here and there. Joe sounded like he was 15 and nervously excited to be interviewed. It was so different from his wrestling persona where he's always been more of the cool, calm, calculating bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bink_winkleman Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Joe and EY both marking out to be talking to Austin was fantastic. It's also just kind of cool to hear Austin talking to TNA guys about TNA. The Flair stuff was excellence. I think in the first one, Austin says something about how he should go hunting with Ric, and I'm just thinking, "Are you fucking crazy to go out in the woods with a rifle and that crazy old bastard?" His sketchy memory does seem like he's told himself things so many times that he believes them, but in other spots, he's like an old WWII vet who can't remember his son in law's name but can give you every little detail of life during wartime.

Rev Ray Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I really think that's why I like the show so much is because you really get the feeling that even after being in the business, Austin's still a fan and while he loves the old stuff, he hasn't closed his mind on what wrestling has evolved into today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
