I’d love to see Sting come back. The guys that had the potential to make any money and draw any money, they came. The ones that made it, made it, and the ones that didn’t, didn’t. The list of those who made it, theres lots the list of those who didn’t make it are longer then the ones who did.
Author: Ric FlairWe only work the most I ever work is three days a week. Very rare that I will work four. If I’m involved in a scenario where they need me to be in it, I don’t mind. They always work around my childrens schedule, their sports, and stuff like that. Thats been very important to me.
Author: Ric FlairWhenever I hear the crowds going WOOOOO!! It makes me feel very good, it means I’ve worked very hard and earned a lot of respect, each night I go out there I go out there for the fans to make them smile, or make them cry
Author: Ric FlairI think my fondest memories would be with Sting, and Steamboat, Dusty and er I made a lot of money wrestling Wahoo McDaniel and Jack Mulligan too. Itd be hard to pinpoint one.
Author: Ric FlairI thought Chris Benoit was worthy of being a Horseman. I thought Dean Melinko was. Obviously I thought Steven Michael was, though obviously he was inexperienced, I thought he was a perfect fit as a horseman. I did not like the Paul Roma deal. I did not like Sid Vicious or about two or three guys that they put in there, I just couldnt see it. I couldnt stomach it, but I had to.
Author: Ric FlairPeople think its hard to travel to the airports. 9/11 has made our travel difficult, with the security laws and that. As far as comparing what we do to driving 3,000 miles a week, making fifty bucks a night, sometimes one hundred bucks a night, its a lot different. Guaranteed contracts, first class air fare, Hilton hotels in London, Champaign. Waddaya want? What more could you ask for!
Author: Ric FlairMy God, thank you. Thank you very much. I’m almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the twenty five years that I’ve spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute of it.
Author: Ric FlairIt’s so hard for me to sit back here in this studio, looking at a guy out here, hollering my name!—When last year I spent more money, on spilled liquor, in bars from one side of this world to the other, than you made! You’re talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing, whoa! wheelin dealin’, limosuine riding, jet flying son of a gun and I’m having a hard time holding these alligators down!
Author: Ric FlairI do close to 30 minutes in cardio at a very high rate. I raise the level of intensity. I do a level 18 on the elliptical at four miles an hour for 20 minutes. That’s 360 calories. I want to see someone else try that. The resistance factor at 18 is brutal. No one goes to 20.
Author: Ric FlairIf you have notoriety, you can dress any way you want to dress. That’s the way it is. I just like to get dressed up. I think that they go hand in hand – notoriety and people lookin at ya. If they look at ya, either you look like a million dollars, or you don’t. A guy can have a phenomenal body, but if the suit doesn’t fit him, forget it.
Author: Ric FlairI’m Ric Flair! The Stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun!
Author: Ric FlairWithout your health, you’ve got nothing going on. I thank God every day for good health.
Author: Ric FlairFor me, it’s about camaraderie. My whole life is like, if something’s going on, nothing ever preceded fun. I always put my friends and the fun and the business ahead of everything.
Author: Ric FlairMy problem is that I think everybody needs to work as hard as I worked when I was in my prime.
Author: Ric FlairI tell everyone in the world that I have always been the best father I could be and that I was the worst husband. Wooo!
Author: Ric FlairDo I feel like I’m 65? No. I feel like I’m 15. That’s my problem. I’m trying as hard as I can to act like I’m 65, but it’s very difficult.
Author: Ric FlairI was really good at being a bad guy; I like that role. Not being bad to people – just talking bad.
Author: Ric FlairThe guy who could be me, but he knows when to draw the line, is John Cena. John Cena can rock ‘n’ roll, let me tell you.
Author: Ric FlairNobody has wrestled everybody in the business like I have, especially not Bret Hart.
Author: Ric FlairWhen somebody has convinced you that you’re not worth anything to anybody anymore, and they spend a lot of time doing it, you start believing it yourself.
Author: Ric FlairI had my first ‘Survivor Series’ in 1991 and I was fortunate enough to be an instrumental part of the shows I was on.
Author: Ric FlairMiami was always a town that was kind to me as a wrestler. It’s a great wrestling town, and it’s a great town, period. There’s so much to do in Miami.
Author: Ric FlairIt’s much more casual than it was, but my clothes and my ring attire – I thought up half of what I brought to the show.
Author: Ric FlairI feel great. I had a blood clot. It was a bad deal. But when I look at my friends with hip replacements, knee replacements, shoulder replacements, neck surgeries, back surgeries, I’ll take the blood clot.
Author: Ric FlairWhether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going. Wooooo!
Author: Ric FlairIf you’re a man, you don’t cry about it, you take life, the ups and downs; if you’re a real man you never go down, you just stay up!
Author: Ric FlairIf wrestling can be considered an art form, then [Ric Flair] is using oils, and the many others merely water colors.
Author: Ric FlairThis ain’t no garden party, brother, thisis wrestling, where only the strongest survive.
Author: Ric FlairI dont think theres anything positive in the WCW brand at all. It was dead when they brought it. They were going to bury us when they did business.
Author: Ric FlairWe used to wrestle every night, 385 times a year. For ten years. 365 days. Never had any holidays off, ever. Holidays were always two-day venues. Two event venues. Afternoon and night.
Author: Ric FlairI was always a fan but me and Kevin Pattero, he was a friend of mine who trained for the Olympic games in 1972 he and I became very close friends and roommates and I kind of rode his coattails into the business.
