ESPN 30 for 30: Nature Boy

[Truefan31]

When it's all said and done HBGOAT will be remembered more fondly. Take that one to the bank.

man ain't nobody quoting HBK of all people years later breh. The Nature Boy is one of a kind, he crossed different platforms. People still quote him to this day, and they will in the future too. You just hear the word "Woooo!" and you know who made it famous. "To be the man you got to beat the man", dude was walking entertainment.

Even now in wrestling matches when you see wrestlers karate chopping each others' chest, you hear the audience going "Woooooooo!!" The strut, the flip over the turnbuckle, etc. Nobody did it like Ric Flair brehs.

You must be too young to really understand how big Flair was. The thought of HBK ever being bigger than prime Flair

Ric Flair's Space Odyssey opening music is bigger than HBK's whole career

Damn I'm going to check this out Rick Flair was always one of my favorite wrestlers.

hogan cant stop lying...ric didnt mind losing...you had complete control in your contract

Yea breh theyre really gonna bring in hogan to lose to flair. Youll go far in this business.

Ric is the one who started talking to hulk to bring him in. Ric knew he was losing before he knocked on the door.

Flair drew more, was a better promo, and was better in the ring.

Who goes around reciting HBK promos word for word?

You my guy but I hate ur wrestling opinions so much lmao

Y'all gotta remember this was a 30 for 30 intended for a general audience, not a wrestling audience. It was OK, definitely not the best 30 for 30 but it wasn't the worst either.

The best 30 for 30's in my opinion are Once Brothers (this one actually made me tear up - Vlade Divac & Drazen Petrovic), Benji (Benji Wilson), The Two Escobars (Andres Escobar & Pablo Escobar), The Best That Never Was (Marcus Dupree), The U Part 1, The Pony Excess (SMU's run in the 80's), You Don't Know Bo (Bo Jackson) and I Hate Christian Laettner

OJ: Made in America was a 30 for 30 too.

Any lanks? Specifically OpenGOAT?

They are 2nd rate Flair Clones, and should be grateful that they have a career and ate real good by copying Flair.

Who's Shawn Michaels trying to be all holier than thou, all the drugs he did, black mailing wrestlers, acting like a bytch, being a fukkin homewrecker and ruining lives and he want to point fingers.

Amen brother

HBK is evil

OJ: Made in America was a 30 for 30 too.

OJ had like three 30 for 30s

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually don't like the OJ 30 for 30 or the mini-series

There's at least 5 guys from Texas better than Michaels.
Both Funks
Dusty
Murdoch
Austin
Hansen
Eddie G
Barrry Whindham (prime)

Just off the top of my head.

 

[patscorpio]

Reid was obviously Ric's copy

Lifestyle wise yeah..funny thing David wrestled more like Ric than Reid to me
