Recommended Posts

Guest MrRant

Tickets are still available. I may try and make the trip up to Canada for either RAW or Smackdown.

Well Raw has Flair vs. Goldberg and SmackDown has Lesnar vs. Vince. Neither will be lenghty and/or clean, so it's a toss up.

will they AT LEAST main event the Goldberg/Flair match?

 

Nah...They conditioned the casual fans to tune in at 1045 for the Kane segment.

Give it 6 minutes and Flair will sell the Spear like a motherfucker...

I wonder if this will be treated as a serious match or if Flair gets squashed quickly.

I think that will be a semi-squash. There's no good reason to have Goldberg quickly squash Flair.

heh great house show angle...Flair and Vince complain about their pending squashings by Goldberg and Lesnar respectively and so they decide to send the two the same address and no show the show forcing Goldberg to take on Lesnar.

Except that Goldberg demolished some one about his same size and a little over half his age this week.

That's true, but it's kind of unfair to compare Richards to Flair.

Is this their first one-on-one and/or televized match? I remember after Starcade 1998, Goldberg was rumored to be wrestling Flair on house shows, but he lost the title...

I loved when Bishoff said on RAW that he'd NEVER give away a match away on RAW without promotion like Goldberg/Flair.

 

*ahem*

 

Goldberg/Hogan? About the only promotion that had in advance was "hey, next week they'll wrestle".

Guess who's going to be there? That's right, I will! Sorry, but I needed to brag because this Raw actually looks decent...

Watch Goldberg beat Flair using only THREE moves like any other Goldberg match you'd expect to see.

 

*Sigh*

I'm not sure if Flair is physically capable of taking a vicious spear. Watch for Goldberg to take it easy on the poor old man.

So some of you are worried that 54 year old Ric Flair WILL be squashed...

 

While some of you are worried that 58 year old Vince McMahon WON'T be squashed...

 

/Just keepin' track

I don't know who thought of this but it was the stupidest insider dig at HHH ever

Matches between Goldberg and Flair. All are from 1999 and Flair was the champ for the first two.

 

March 8 (Worcester, MA): DDQ

 

April 5 (Las Vegas, NV): four-way match also containing Hulk Hogan and Diamond Dallas Page. Went to a no contest.

 

April 25 (Minneapolis, MN): Goldberg wins.

 

Even though nobody ever came out and stated this, I believe Goldberg injured Flair's back in the last match. Couple this with Flair still having problems with Bischoff a year after the lawsuit, Flair stayed off television from June until Bischoff's firing in August. He did work several house shows.

 

In a case of it being a small world, while at the University of Minnesota, Flair roomed with Mike Goldberg - Bill's oldest brother.

Ric Flair is a WRESTLER and McMahon isn't.

I'm not worried that Flair will be squashed. I think he should be, more or less, but hold out a bit longer than than the usual Goldberg fodder before being beat cleanly.

 

Of course, personally I'd like to see Goldberg look like a puss and utterly embarrassed, but I'm just saying what I think would work best booking-wise.

I'm just worried that he'll squash Flair and then job to Suckbag Orton the next week.
