Foley did sign off by saying "well I don't know how many more of these shows I will get to do  " or something, because WWE bans its staff from appearing on such shows.

I don't really have any interest in seeing Foley wrestle any more, but as either a GM or an announcer, I think he'd be invaluable.

I don´t know where to put it, but this was in todays update and I laughed for a minute. --Chuck Langerman's daily wrestling trivia. On July 17, 1994, when ECW still stood for Eastern Championship Wrestling, they held a card in Wildwood, NJ, with a Battle Royal where the winner would get to face Shane Douglas for the title. As a rib, Rockin Rebel (Chuck Williams) was told he was going to win the Battle Royal. Before the match started, Williams bragged to his girlfriend that he was going to win and get the title shot. The bell rang and you can guess what happened. Everyone else in the match swarmed on Williams and threw him over the top as he was screaming, "I'm supposed to go over."

I would say it's worth listening to, it's slightly different subject matter - he talks about the intensity of Kurt Angle, and Benoit (guess where this goes? Masters talks a little about the tribute show seeming "a little early"), meeting his idols like Shawn for the first time, and starting in UPW with Cena. Maybe my favourite bit is him talking about being Wellnessed in his first run, and how he was really naive about addiction. Also the troop who broke the Masterlock gets brought up as something WWE forgot about. Plus he complains about them making him do his pec-jiggling because he thought it got stupid and in the way of him being seen in a more favourable light. And they were beating a dead horse which is drat true. Alvarez is a pretty good interviewer in it and I'm glad I listened to both interviews instead of just the one. They both covered slightly different ground and there wasn't as much repetition as you'd expect. Though there is some overlap. ZoDiAC_ fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Sep 14, 2011 |

I liked the line about being with Shawn and eventually Shawn let him call the matches. And Masters goes something like "But I still phrased everything as a question, because I'm not going to tell Shawn Michaels what to do..."

More or less. They sort of review the match, conclude it won't be Flair's last despite him not being able to do virtually any spots and loving his arm up, and go "gently caress this" and stop the show out the blue

Yeah, between Granny planing her own memorial, the review of a match where we saw a legend dying before our eyes and the abrupt ending, the show was a bit jarring. I liked it, though, for being something different. The ending especially, I thought was fitting and an inspired decision. There was nothing more to say, no song they could have played would have been appropriate, so they just stopped. I wish Flair would do the same.

The way people act about Flair is just hilarious to me. Even as a pre-teen watching WCW you knew that Flair was never going to stop. All the jokes we made about Terry Funk back then we knew we'd make about Ric Flair. I can't believe even in this day and age, people thought Flair would just happily accept retirement after a Wrestlemania send off. How the gently caress does the WWE mean more to Ric Flair than wrestling means to Ric Flair? It would never. No pomp and circumstance would ever stop Flair from wrestling. It's all he knows. It's all he cares about. Call it a disease if you want, but it's what he's got and thinking that the Undertaker doing a little post-show send off will keep Flair from wrestling you're loving stupid. Ric Flair might be sad, but the way people act about him is worse. At least Flair knows who he is.

Not really. Putting your body through agony and pain to achieve poor results just because you can't accept you no longer have the physical condition you had in your earlier years? That's loving stupid.

The thing is, up until recently, if you worked hard to suspend disbelief and didn't look too closely, you could almost believe he was. What happened this week on Impact made it abundantly clear that that is no longer the case. How can people wishing that Flair holds on to what's left of his health (not to mention his dignity) be in any conceivable way sadder than Flair himself being compelled (be it by his financial circumstances, or by his poor decision making, or by his love of the business, or what have you) to go on long after he should have stopped?

Ric Flair is basically like Wyle E Coyote running off a cliff. For a short while after the edge of the cliff, the lack of ground beneath his feet doesn't affect his motion. Then, the inertia runs out and he plummets. Except, in Flair's case, he just keeps running like the ground it still there.

Flair should have stopped 15 years ago but he didn't. Everyone who had any idea of who Flair is knew he wouldn't stop. WWE were so conceited they thought they could stop the guy with a useless ceremony and a match with Shawn Michaels. Ric Flair has been making poor decisions for pro wrestling for longer than most of us have lived. You don't stop that. You watch it burn out.
