Getting any career after the plane crash was pretty extraordinary, much less how long it went and his condition for a lot of it. 1

Crockett/WCW never failed to step on their own dicks 9 times out of 10. Awesome, one of my all time fav shows to rewatch. Love the crowd pop for thinking Luger won (and also Sting/Nikita's almost win). Huge fan of all of the Luger/Flair series. 1

Didn't he say he wanted to be Ricky Rhodes and be the 3rd Texas Outlaw with Dusty and Dick Murdock? 4

After I finish my 80s/early 90s WWF chronological watchthrough, I'm going to do Crockett/WCW. I'm most looking forward to the 88 - 90 Bashes for personal nostalgia reasons as I was at those shows. I was also at Bash 91 but we don't talk about that. Edited July 29, 2022 by Technico Support 2

MY TAKESHITA 550 POUNDS!" I've for sure had something like that for brunch of a weekend after having too much to drink the night before. And a bloody mary before the food came. 2

Yeah, he wanted to be called "Ramblin' Ricky Rhodes". It's funny because I remember Dusty related that story in a shoot interview in the early 2000s and people (myself included) kinda wrote it off as Dusty just putting himself over and exaggerating. Then Flair actually confirmed it in his book and in other interviews. 3

Scorpio was cool as fuck, innovative, but every one of his high spots looked like he was about half an inch from blowing out both his knees and killing his opponent. He didn't give off out of control and dangerous like Sabu, but I don't know why people were signing up to take his 450 or that moonsault legdrop thing. 3
Curt McGirt Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 If anyone's wondering why there is a Fat Flair, it's because he was hanging out with Ken Patera who would eat nothing but cheeseburgers. He thought "if he can do that and look like that I can" but it just ended up in him looking like that. 2
