ESPN 30 for 30: Nature Boy

[WMG the 2nd]

The last 10 mins of Flair's 30 for 30

Ric still seems completely in denial that his son died because he was trying to emulate the lifestyle of his father. Before they played the audio of the 911 call, he was laughing about how great and funny it was that Reid was inviting neighbors over to drink with him at 16, and how much fun he was at 21 wanting to go to the bars with him. Juxtaposed with Charlotte saying how they as teenagers spent an entire summer getting shytfaced every night because their family had completely crumbled apart and how that wasn't normal or healthy at all.

The director painted it perfectly trips said it best
Ric was a liar
He was in denial thinking his son could be like him and drink every day and wrestle

The house shows didn't do big business but that's because WWF was losing steam at the time anyway, wrestling was starting to cool off. That said, their match at MSG is on the network and it's lit. The crowd is great. Mr. Perfect is involved too.

Another problem was how the matches was book. Flair was basically Hogan's whooping boy for those bouts... WCW got it right in 94

Wasnt feeling it as much as i hoped. I guess i wanted more crazy stories and that kind of shyt. Im not even a big fan of Ric and i already knew all this shyt

Was still good though

 

[TBdaGhost]

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

Survive and Advance

Bad Boys

They're pretty much all dope

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

Flair's a wild boy!! haha The nikka drank more than 7 alcoholic drinks everyday from 1972 until 2010 when he retired.

WHAT THE ACTUAL fukk!!!

Something didn't cross his mind to stop self medicating?

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Yet you keep getting married nikka

I keep wondering about the chicks who marry Ric Flair

why does ric sound so funny when hes talking?

People think he's from the South, but actually Flair's one of those retarded sounding Minnesotans.

Man, they are the weirdest talking motherfukkers ever.

Sound like Canadians with Down Syndrome

Hulk Hogan is not held in high regards in the black community

The funny thing is that Ric Flair is 2000x more than Hogan is.

Just add fukking micke James n Kendra lust

Still too boring.

HBK had weekends mores scandalous than that

One Magic Moment was also pretty good. it's one of the few times Penney and those 90s magic teams got appreciation. Overall this season's 30 for 30 has been one of the best.

Them nikka's didn't win shyt, then Shaq cashed out and went to L.A., when him & Penny should've been Magic & Kareem part II & beat The Bulls in '98

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

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

YOu know why?

That shyt was just the high-tech lynching that CLarence Thomas & them used to talk about.

White folks still so salty about O.J. that they got that mixed breed to make a 8hr documentary about how O.J's the worst person of all-time.

For the love of kayfabe.

It was all good until someone on the production crew asked for decaf.

 

[boriquaking]

Doc was dope.

Would love a link to their version of his theme.

 

[Dillah810]

I just saw the doc and it was very good. I was surprised af at Taker's real voice.

"Ric is one of us"

see snoop, that's the kind of language that makes em too comfortable

No snoop, just NO

Yeah, in the Dusty/Flair rivalry, nikkas always rode with Dusty.

 

[dbp]

He sounds like a lot of those types who parties and drank their way through life.

Pretends to regret saying blah blah should've been a better father/husband, but you see the smile on their face when talking about that shyt and you know they'd do the same all over again.

Totally in denial about Reid. Sad.

Another problem was how the matches was book. Flair was basically Hogan's whooping boy for those bouts... WCW got it right in 94

I don't know if they got it right.. Flair should have been made to look better at the clash to setup the cage match

 

[MenacingMonk]

So the plane crash was cause the dumbass pilot didn't check the fuel level?

 

[MenacingMonk]

Flair is a god damn human anomaly to the fullest extent.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Shaq made an appearance in WCW?!

Disco Inferno got screen time in 2017.

 

[hayesc0]

If anyone needs the streaming version and doesnt have espn its on dailymotion.

Spoiler: part I and II
