--> '''Ric Flair:''' ''(After Flair gives a story about Vince criticizing him after his match at Wrestlemania VIII)'' I've always wanted to ask you one thing...[[BerserkButton WHO ARE '''YOU''' TO EVER TELL ME HOW TO WRESTLE?! I'M RIC FLAIR, YOU'RE VINCE MCMAHON!]]

-->"It'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 SPILT 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 (WOO!) wheeling and dealing, limousine riding, jet flying, son of a gun!" *points to shoes* "And I'm having a hard time holding these alligators down!"

* Flair's Wrestlemania match with Wrestling/ShawnMichaels. The entire thing. It didn't seem possible, but for that match he managed to hang in there with one of the greatest wrestlers of all time even if it was clear that Michaels was clearly his superior. Because, for one night, Flair seemed to rediscover his RedBaron of being the dirtiest player in the game. Chop blocks, the Figure Four, knife-hand chops, he did everything. And when he rolled out of the way of a moonsault by Michaels onto the announcer's table, or countered a Sweet Chin Music into a Figure Four Leg Lock, you started to think that [[HopeSpot maybe, just maybe Flair could pull it off.]] But then Michaels [[YankTheDogsChain connected on the first of three Sweet Chin Musics.]]

* Pick a vintage 80s Nature Boy promo; no one in the history of wrestling may have been better on the stick than Slick Ric talking about his vast wealthy and multitude of women on hand. There's a reason rappers love to sample Flair soundbites.

* Flair is responsible for, quite possibly, the most insane promo ever cut. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_3jW_0jnzc You should really see this one for yourself.]]

** As we return from the ad break, Schiavone calls it the greatest moment in the history of ''Nitro''. [[DumbassHasAPoint Stopped clock moment, right there.]]

* His ''Clash of the Champions I'' match with Sting.

** Perhaps even more awesome in terms of myth is that Flair thinks that some of the matches he had with Steamboat in the late 70's/early 80's might have been even better, but lacking any ability to record them, they exist solely in the memories of those lucky enough to have seen them.
