Hogan was a big bitch, I always hated him.

I"m on a strange binge where I'm watching every WWF and WCW ppv. I'm up to about 1989 now. Jesse Ventura is the MVP so far. He was so good at his job.

Also, I was never a Ric Flair guy. When I was a child I thought he was just some old dude. But jesus fuck christ Flair was the best. He made everybody he worked with look like a million bucks.

Same here. As an adult, Flair is GOAT.

Someone explain the mystery of why virtually all black people love Ric Flair? Seriously, if you didn't know, this is a thing. Even among those who have never really watched wrestling.

Seriously, Ric Flair inspired the whole flamboyant, brag about money and hoes etc, lavish lifestyle part of hip hop. Most white people don't know this or understand just how big of a thing he is in black culture.

Quote:

Moments later, rapper Snoop Dogg appears on the screen and explains how Flair pulled from and was an inspiration of the early roots of hip-hop and black culture. "As a kid growing up watching Ric Flair, he was very inspirational to myself and a lot of other hip-hop artists because he represented what we wanted to be," Snoop Dogg said. "We wanted to be Ric Flair; we wanted to be flamboyant and the 'kiss-stealin, wheelin-and-dealin,' we wanted to be all of that.

"He was a part of our culture and our life. That's why we love him and we cherish him. We've always held him high in the black community, because Ric is one of us."

Also, I was at a match where Andre was on the card. I believe he was vs Big John Stud. After the match, the place went crazy and they had these steel barracades set up that joined together to make a square. Well, that shit was flimsy and the entire arena ended up rushing Andre.
