Damn Horsemen Don't fukk With Ric Anymore

[dbp]

Ric was talented, but seemed insufferable in real life to those close to him. Wouldn't be surprised at all if they have their reasons.

That's gotta suck to put in all those years with people you thought you were close to, only to find out that they were probably only cool with you because you were their cash cow.

That's not even true. Arn and his wife are close to Ric's ex-wife. Flair, never grew up from that partying shyt. Dude was straight-up embarrassing after his retirement. It's not even, "nikka you too old to be having fun" but more, "this is just sad at this point" as Ric was running around flashing his dikk on a plane or begging someone to pay his tab at like 3:00 AM. I could see why Arn just got tired of it.

I have, well had, a friend that only wanted to talk about shyt that happened in high school and just kept wanting to go back to that level of immaturity. I don't think I've changed all that much since then, but enough to realize some of that shyt was childish. Eventually, I had to bush dude because shyt became sad and he didn't want to develop past those years.

Second thread that I found interesting in two days on TSC. The other being the Luger one.

I can understand all of that of why theyre not really cool but Arn at least knew Reid. He should have reached out if he didnt. I know Tully battled drug addiction for yearsbso idk where he was on that journey at the time and Barry might have had his own father's health he was contending with at the time. But it sounds like Ric accepted it a while back.

OK, but who do you think enabled Reid. Arn probably saw that Ric refused to come clean about Reid's problems. shyt, HHH said that Ric lied about Reid's problem and blamed them on faulty substances. WWE never signed Reid because he kept failing drug tests. On the night Reid died from a drug overdose, Ric was the one with him. At that point, Arn probably wanted to say, "You stupid fukk, you let your son die because of your stupid-ass lifestyle," it was better to say nothing at all.

This is Ric telling his side, there might be much more to why they fell out. As far as being the “cash cow” Arn and Tully more than held their own on the mic and in the ring in their own regard.

Probably a one-sided story, but independently of that there’s no Horsemen without Flair. Ric is top 3 all time, and he could of put anyone in the Horsemen and they would of been successful.

That's all well and true but I think a "I'm sorry for your loss" text isn't too much to ask.

Of course, given that Flair seems to have been legitimately insane for most of his adult life it's also quite possible he did some fukk shyt that was the last straw.

 

[XannyWarbucks]

shyt, when Sid stabbed Arn. 2Cold said Flair and Steamboat were looking out their peepholes not doing shyt. 2Cold was the one that went to the hospital and made all those calls for Sid and Arn, all that shyt goes both ways.
Like, I could understand where Flair is coming from, but dude has a track record of being disingenuous and he's making it seem like it's all on Arn.

 

[MushroomX]

I tend to think of it like Pink Floyd. Roger Waters saw himself AS Pink Floyd, while treating Gilmour, Wright and Mason as part of the band.

Ric, while obviously the most famous of it, probably has forgotten that the Horsemen were not about him.

But that's just my take.

How many variations of the Horseman were there though, and how many as memorable as the original? It’s the same as saying you could’ve put anyone with Nash & Hall for the NWO. It wouldn’t have had the same impact.

 

[Reality Check]

HHH said that Ric lied about Reid's problem and blamed them on faulty substances. WWE never signed Reid because he kept failing drug tests.

Flair I think even admitted that he was more of a friend to his son when he should have been a father.

If anything, Ric Flair was Chris Jericho before Chris Jericho was Chris Jericho. The most time he probably spent with Reid was when he was appearing on Nitro taking down Eric Bischoff. Flair was just being emotional as usual at the time of this interview.

 

[FakeNews]

Arn seems like a standup dude I'll roll with him over Rikkk

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Nah fukk that


Dudes in here like I’m sure they have their reasons....

did he fukk their bytch???

What else would be reasonable to not check in on your friend of many years after his son died?
