Ric Flair shoots on shane douglas (1wrestling.com)
Ripclawe
part of Ric Flair's interview on WCW Live
from 3/12.
Bob Ryder: Ric, a lot of questions about Shane Douglas, and the comments he's
made about you over the years, any
response to him?
Ric Flair: My thoughts to him?
Jeremy Borash: Yeah, what are your thoughts about Shane?
Ric Flair: My thoughts of Shane are, he is a quarterback that thought he was
going to go in the first round, that went in the
seventh round, that knew because he went in the seventh round he had to play
harder, but never made it. He threw the ball ten
yards shorter. He ran the forty a tenth of a second slower. Everything he's
done in life, he's done behind the scenes, and he's
cried about everything and everybody. If it's not me it's Nash. If it's not
Nash it's Hall. If it's not Hall it's McMahon. If it's not
McMahon, it's Bischoff. At some point in time, you got to look in the mirror.
Do you think that the fans listen to that s***? The
problem is, the kid has never grown up. He told Mark Madden for ten years that
he was going to be a doctor. A doctor of
what? Mark, what medical school is he in now, Mark?
Jeremy Borash: What medical school?
Mark Madden: I don't believe he's officially enrolled at this point Ric.
Ric Flair: I don't think he has either. Ten years ago, he told me he was going
to be a medical doctor. Everything in his life is
pretty much a dream, or a thought, or an afterthought. And I'm happy that he's
making money where he's at, because he'd
never go anywhere else. He's, you know, been given the opportunity and some
guys cut it, and some guys don't.
Jeremy Borash: All right, before we let you go Ric......
Ric Flair: Hey, I just.....I understand he challenged me to the ultimate fight,
or something like that. Let me tell you this. If you
take the needle out of his ass, he's 140 pounds, at best. And you tell him, 90
days after he takes the needle out of his ass,
anytime, anywhere, and I'm fifty years old. As a matter of fact, my son Reid,
with the needle out of his ass, will beat him in
record time. Quote me.
Mark Madden: I think you just quoted yourself.
Ric Flair: Well I just did.
Mark Madden: [Laughs]
Ric Flair: And Reid's eleven years old and weighs 126. I think Shane Douglas,
off the gas, is about 126 pounds soaking wet.
[Silence]
Jeremy Borash: Mark, you done?
Ric Flair: Hello? I can't hear you guys.
Jeremy Borash: [Laughs] I think we're all sitting here going, 'Wow.'
Ric Flair: Yeah, I just gave you the quote. Since he jumped on me. If I'm Bob
Barker he's, uh, let me see,....who was that
cop on Andy Griffith that walked around with the hat on sideways? He's Barney
Fife.
Jeremy Borash: I guess the follow-up question is, are there a lot of guys.....
Ric Flair: Ask me another one about him, will ya?
Jeremy Borash: [chuckles] Along the same lines, are a lot of the guys......
Ric Flair: Excuse me, excuse me, Doctor Douglas, who never went to school.
Doctor Douglas, who never made it in WCW,
who blamed me for it. I wasn't the booker, however. Doctor Douglas, who didn't
make it in WWF. Doctor Douglas, who's
alienated himself. Doctor Douglas, who is blown up at 220 pounds. You can't
beat my eleven year old son. How 'bout that?
God bless you son. Now, go ahead.

So, is WCW planting the seeds for bringing Douglas in? ECW workers are
all trying their damndest to jump off that sinking ship, so why not
Douglas? Sure, their is bad blood there, but, as someone once said,
"wrestling is no place for people with long memories."
It just seems awfully coincidental that Flair never commented about the
Douglas situation for 4 years. And now, he decides to make a statement,
cut a promo in a sense. At a time when ECW is being run into the ground
by a "creative genius."

In this case though, I'm not sure at all. There's a lot of people who have
caught the ire of Douglas, and can't be too happy about it. This isn't a
case of Douglas having heat with Flair and only Flair. There's Nash and
the Clique and Bischoff as well. Plus,

The timing is a bit odd, but at the same time, I don't remember Flair having
an opportunity to make any comments in a forum similiar to WCW Live (which is
a bit more open about the business). And it could be some sort of poorly
crafted work to generate more heel heat for him, given Douglas' recent face
turn. I just can't see Douglas jumping to WCW, especially when Douglas is
involved in the main event angle for ECW's next PPV.

Funny thing, wasn't Douglas supposed to retire after the last ppv, when he lost
to TAZ. Anyway, while we are on the subject, it's a shame Douglas and Flair
don't get along, because IMHO Shane, in his ECW persona would be a great
Horseman. But as Flair, take the needle out of his ass, and what do you have?
BTW, could anyone give me the address if this is still on the internet, this
interview that is...I love to hear Flair talk, he is great....
Thanks, Mike

The Flair interview was on March 12 - his bit doesn't start until an
hour or so in, IIRC. Speaking of this interview, something interesting
was said by Mark Madden(!) about Hogan and Flair (I'm paraphrasing):
Hogan always says no and Flair always says yes - that's what makes them
different and has made them successful. Hogan has gotten himself a top
position and is the mostly widely recognized wrestler on the planet;
Flair has garnered the respect of the fans and the other wrestlers.
Another cool thing about this interview is that you can hear Flair
talking to Reid in the background (you could hear Nash talking to his
son in the background of his interview, too) - it's weird to think of
these guys as family men and all that.

I feel now is a good time to talk about sheep. A common kind of sheep
is a the Suffolk sheep. The females are called Ewes and they tend to
weigh less than the males, called Rams. Males who are not castrated are
turned into what we call Wethers, they often excrete a foul smell that
is difficult to be around. Your mother was called a Wether when she was
in High School. Now we just call her a filthy whore. Sheep are fun!
