Superstars comment on Flair DVD

 

 

The Superstars, like the fans, are all clamoring to get their copy of The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection, the No. 1-selling DVD in WWE history. Those who have been fortunate enough to obtain a copy have been talking about it backstage for weeks. WWE.com asked a few of them for their comments on the DVD.

It’s unbelievable. I’m a wrestler, but I’m also a wrestling fan. I grew up a huge wrestling fan. I always like to go back and watch things that happened when I was growing up.

 

I’m glad they had the interviews leading up to the matches. They had Flair talking and his opponents talking, really giving you the idea of why they were doing what they were doing. The buildup to these matches that he had with Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat…You could just cut the tension in the ring when they finally got in there and you knew this was going to be it. I had forgotten how they got a lot more mileage out of things back then. You kind of forget how fast our TV goes today as opposed to back then.

 

It really gave a lot of insight into his career. You didn’t have to be a Ric Flair fan to get this, appreciate it and enjoy it. I definitely recommend it to anybody.

Lance Storm

It’s just bigger than him, and that’s says a lot. It’s not just matches, it’s a history of the business, because it goes back 20 years. It’s the stuff I grew up on and turned into a fan watching.

 

Edge

I found myself just lost in it for hours. This morning I was watching it. I watched a lot of the extras and things like that. And growing up in Canada, I didn’t get to see too much of Ric Flair. We weren’t privileged to get NWA. So I didn’t know about the whole Flair phenomenon. Eventually, I did, and I got caught up on tapes.

 

It’s so cool to see, even a promo with Bob Orton. He opens his mouth, and you could put Randy Orton there. The voice is identical, and you see so many similarities, and that’s 1983, and now we’re 2003 and Randy’s starting to do his thing. It’s just so cool because there’s just so much history involved in Ric Flair.

 

Jazz

I only got to the first DVD. Man, I was watching that, and I was up all night long because my adrenaline was just flowing. It made me feel honored all over again to be part of this business. Every time I watch Ric Flair, that’s what I get from him. He’s the greatest. I just want to say, “Thanks, Ric. You are the greatest, baby. Woo!”

 

Triple H

I’m fairly electronically stupid. Like, I heard there are a lot of surprise things on there that you’ve got to hunt for. I don’t even know how to do it. Even if you’re not a Ric Flair fan, but you’re just a fan of the business, it’s an unbelievable thing that we’ve put out on Ric. It shows his career in some many different lights. It shows him at his best when he was younger. It’s really great.

 

Most of it was stuff that I’d seen before, but it was so long ago. Some of the stuff with him and Harley fighting for the title, I had never seen all of that (footage), because most of that aired in the South. So some of the promos I had never seen before. I was such a huge fan of all that stuff – the Horsemen and Ric – and to go back and see things that I had forgotten about, it’s like reliving your childhood in a way. To go back and see all that stuff, it just reminds me of how good he really is.

... and how even though you might try your damndest, you won't even come close, H.

The man is a genius. He can use ANYTHING to get himself over.

He's the exact opposite of Flair. Flair makes everybody look good; HHH makes everyone look worse (or makes himself look better).

[Guest Besus]

I went to,two stores today and Neither had the Flair DVD.

 

Thy had Survivor Series,Vengeance and Rey DVD. I got SS.

 

I want that Flair DVD,hopefully I'll find it somewhere before this month is over.

[HarleyQuinn 0]

Too bad HHH is jealous of Flair's sheer popularity otherwise he could've been a great asset to the company *fondly remembers 1996 when he got screwed, allowing Austin to evolve at the KOTR* See, that's the type of team play we need from him.

[Mole 0]

I got it at some store in Westbrook,CT for $24.99.

 

Better than the $36.99 they wanted at FYE.

Speaking of Dupree, did his father (Emil Dupree) ever have a match against Flair?

To be fair... what's he going to say about Flair that hasn't been said already?

[Guest PowerPB13]

Triple H: The most overrated wrestler EVER.

 

Just because, for a year and a half, he got dragged kicking and screaming to the best matches of his life, he fooled people into thinking he actually had talent, which he never did.

the store was most likely Strawberries: Records and Tapes. They sell movies and videogames too but they never changed the store title. Anyways its a large New England based store chain and I got the Flair DVD from there at the exact same price you mentioned.

[Nevermortal 0]

I got it today at best buy for 27.99

 

I wouldn't have paid that much but I had a 50$ Gift Certificate that I wanted to use.

Actually, you couldn't be more wrong, Pat. HHH was the heel for the overwhelming majority of those matches and dictated the pace and flow. He was (and still is, to a lesser degree because now he's more selfish) a brilliant mind when it came to wrestling fans and the business and was a tremendous worker in his own right. I mean look at the Iron Man, look at the Royal Rumble Streetfight. In both those matches HE'S doing most of the work (In the latter he finished with a serious leg injury and it went on to become IMO the best match of 2000). I mean, the man carried the WWF through it's Scorcese year and if you want to be all bitter and jaded now, fine. But give the devil his due, for one year HHH was God as far as US Wrestling went.

Suncoast usually has it. Just check there if one's in your area.

[Guest Frank_Nabbit]

At least you express your dislike in intelligent and creative manners.

 

Patrick doesn't.

[Guest Frank_Nabbit]

Rudo you actually state ways to improve the product, Patrick just says "This sux like 4 evah"

How did this turn into another HHH thread?

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Dammit! I'm bad! RUDO! GRRRR! STAY AWAY!

 

*puppy walks up and nuzzles against leg*

 

DAMMIT!

 

*kicks dog*

 

Huh? HUH? Who kicks dogs? HUH? Bad men! Men like me! I'm 10x's as bitter and jaded as he is! NO! 100x'S!! People want me banned! THEY DO! Once upon a time... *sigh*

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Triple H could save the world from imploding and the smart marks would still say he did it to put himself over.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Yeah, but that's only if he was directly (or indirectly) responsible for the impending implosion... give us a lil credit here.

Impossible. You're all savages.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

I don't think we can muscle-up the testosterone to be savages. Perhaps vile fiends.

It's a shame that his selfishness has made a lot of us forget how great he was in the ring.

God, you people are such fucking whiners when it comes to HHH.
