Funny / Ric Flair

• "Honey you keep your mouth shut I'm not takin' off my clothes today..."
• Any interview in which he would a) pull his clothes off—sometimes down to his boxers or b) elbow drop his coat or c) both. Flair getting naked and attacking his clothes is the best part of wrestling.
• He was very nearly voted TIME magazine's Man of the Century in a stuffed ballot in 1999. By the time the editor finally caught on, he was trailing in second place just behind Jesus Christ. The Flair marks also rigged the People Magazine "Most Beautiful People" poll.
• Eddie Guerrero stealing Flair's number at Royal Rumble 2005. And his wallet. Flair's tantrums over it really sell this.
• When Flair lost the WWF Title at Wrestlemania VIII, his handlers Mr. Perfect and Bobby Heenan were going berserk, while Flair, face covered in blood (of course) just stood there in a trance of Tranquil Fury.
• WOOO! MARRY CRIZZMEZ FRUM DA NATCHA BOI!
  WrestleCrap: I need to make that my ringtone every month of December.
• "THAT'S A CAROLINA HURRICANES GOAL! WOOOOOO!" The things this man will do for money.
  • Even during Whalers' Nights...
• During Edge's infamous "Live Sex Celebration" with Lita, Ric Flair came out to declare that not only was Edge a sorry champion but that he was also "dead in the bed, Fred!" then demanded him to get out of the way.
• Woman and Elizabeth rolling out his body on a gurney just so he can pop up and Woo.
• Pushing over Stacy Keibler in the game of musical chairs. His timing was brilliant.
  • Immediately after he pushed her, he started strutting like he usually does, taking him out of the circle. The music immediately stopped when he hit the ropes, thus eliminating himself.
• Ric Flair makes a young Hurricane fan cry.
• Flair looking in the camera and telling Ted Turner that if he doesn't move Bischoff out, Flair's "comin' to get Fonda!" Again, he offered Jane Fonda a ride on Space Mountain.
  • The fact that he was stone serious when he said it makes it even funnier.
• In the Baywatch episode "Bash at the Beach", we learn the origin of Hulk Hogan, and of a local boys club that “saved Hulk’s rear end” when he was a kid. Anyway, the place is in danger of being bulldozed to make way for condos, and that’s when the evil developer shows up...
• Flair is the kind of wrestler who will chew the scenery just for kicks, and sometimes it's so over-the-top it's hysterical.
• Why he's in his underwear and swinging from the ropes like a chimpanzee? Answer: Just Ric Flair things.
  • That gif doesn't go into the part where he took out all his laundry, dumped them on the ring, explained how expensive his clothes were, took out his money, tore the bills into pieces, dump those on the ring, threw his shoes into the crowd, and then stripped into his boxers and socks on live television, elbow dropped the ring (as in there was nothing or nobody for him to elbow drop in the first place), handcuffed himself to the ropes, and threatened to be naked if they cut to commercial. No, we did not make a word of that up.
• David no-selling getting pantsed. He is his father's son. (Embarrassment is nothing to a Flair.)
• His Vengeance 2004 match, teaming with Eugene of all people, against La Resistance. The match is basically Eugene mimicking Flair's moveset to a tee just to impress him, while Flair watches helplessly from the apron getting more and more pissed off. Eugene even does a Flair Flop!
• According to X-Pac, Flair was present in the locker room when Nash disrespected Piper by slapping him. When Nash kicked the door in, everyone was shit-scared, including Flair, but in Flair's case apparently he was more bewildered about it not having anything to do with him.
• His entire Intercontinental title victory celebration, with several girls from the audience, at Unforgiven 2005. It involves a limo, champagne, and a small bottle of little blue pills...
  • Before that, the reaction when Flair actually hits a move off the top rope on Carlito. There are fans gasping in amazement, a standing ovation and Jerry Lawler speaking for everyone with "it worked! He finally did it!"
• When Flair was teaching Miz the Figure Four, he told him, "I never beat anyone with that move, why do you want to learn it?"
• They don't call it Flair Country for nothing! He was the face of the South Carolina Lottery a few years back. You could buy Woo! tickets at every gas station.
  • The real Flair had to train some regional Ric Flairs to do all the stuff he wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
• In TNA, Abyss pulled Ric Flair aside and said “you can’t use thumbtacks, that’s my gimmick”. Flair responded “what did you say to me you stupid son of a bitch” and proceeded to use thumbtacks. (This is from Mick Foley's podcast. A lot of things Flair has said on his own podcast have been debunked so take this with a grain of salt.)
• 'Mania 31: Ric leads the veterans in a Woo-off...then chops a specific guy out of habit◊.
• Times change but the Nature Boy does not.
• Twitter responds responded to Ric Flair's question of what "it's lit" means.
• Flair and Jay Lethal having a Woo! off. This can be seen here
  • He had two with Kurt Angle before that as well.
  Triple H: That's gimmick infringement and you know it!
