Guest Boo_Bradley Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 I was just reading the PWI 15th Anniversity issue from 1994 and in the News section, they put over the fact that Flair has been scouting young Terra Ryzing, and likes what he see's in the youngster. Exact quote forthcoming!
Guest Zack Malibu Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 If only we knew back then what we know now... ::Runs to watch Starrcade '94, where Trips jobs to Alex Wright!::
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Ric Flair likes what he sees in young Terra Ryzing, a former protege of Killer Kowaski. People say he resembles the "Nature Boy" If he's looking for a mentor, Ryzing won't find many better than Flair.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Well...that would have been laughed at 9 years ago, so I guess I can laugh at it now. HA-HA! I want a picture of Flair hand washing Hunter's jock now. That would complete the story.
Guest Dillon Likes Bossman Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Man, I hate when Flair puts Hunter over.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Man, I hate when Flair puts Hunter over. Me too...cause most people that like Flair don't like Hunter

cawthon777 Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Oh good lord, it's PWI! We're talking about the King of Doctored and Fictitious Interviews. Only believe 10% of what they say.
JasonX Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Well...that would have been laughed at 9 years ago, so I guess I can laugh at it now. HA-HA! I want a picture of Flair hand washing Hunter's jock now. That would complete the story. Granted it is Tom Zenk who keeps bringing it up on his website, but wasn't there some bad bad blood between Flair and HHH from WCW circa that period (94-95) that makes Flair being HHH's cabana boy some sort of cosmic karma hitting Ric?
Guest mach7 Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Man, I hate when Flair puts Hunter over. Me too...cause most people that like Flair don't like Hunter Yeah because Flair has never been known as a backstage politician... riiiight.... As far as I'm concerned, they're a perfect fit for eachother.
Guest Zack Malibu Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 I believe the drama came about when they turned the Terra Ryzing character into the Jean-Paul Levesque one. HHH said something about having no clue how to talk in a French accent, and Flair said to "talk like the detective from Pink Panther movies" during interviews.
Guest Mad the Swine Posted June 21, 2003 Report Posted June 21, 2003 I remember Trips as Terra Ryzing and the announcers saying he looked like a young Flair. My memory's a bit off as to specifics, but I recall him redebuting as LeVesque. He was briefly aligned with Lord Steven Regal during Regal's month-long feud with Larry Zbyszko. I don't recall any interviews, but I didn't get the Saturday Night show, just Worldwide and Pro on regional networks. I also saw Trips live in November 1994. He had a ponytail with a silky white ribbon. He and Paul Roma jobbed to Marcus Bagwell and the Patriot. I can't really guess as to what Flair had in mind for him (he left in January or February 1995). Flair was really pushing Alex Wright, even wrestling Wright himself a few times.
cawthon777 Posted June 21, 2003 Report Posted June 21, 2003 He and Regal were lined up to dethrone Harlem Heat of the tag belts but Triple H jumped to the WWF so that he could gain more in-ring experience by spending time out on the road, even though the pay was less.
