SMH at Flair. He was great, but now he's just laughable.

A Flair figure would be awesome. Another case where these Legends contracts are screwing us over. Guess I'll have to be happy with my custom for awhile longer

He was at the panel and he was amazingly incredible. He had so many interesting stories to tell. There is nothing laughable about him in the wrestling world. Yes he did sound a little drunk at the panel but JR was completely wasted, almost unable to finish sentences and slurred every word. He also mentioned Grey Goose many times and I can't remember if it was Flair or JR who joked saying the panel was brought to us by Grey Goose

Flair for SDCC 2014.... It's gotta happen. Just imagine the amazingly detailed CLOTH robe we'll get. It'll easily be my favorite figure no matter what era/attire he comes in. But what if he gets a hard plastic like robe?

The report was the he and Jim Ross were drunk because their speech was slurred. Flair, for some reason, over the years has developed a lisp and JR said on twitter that the reason he sounded different was that his bells palsy was acting up and it causes him to slur a bit. He also said there was no truth whatsoever that he and Flair were drunk.
Also, other then JRs twitter where someone asked him about this, I havent seen any dirt sheet report Flair as being drunk.

Well, I just viewed the WWE 2K14 Symposium video to see what all this fuss is about. I was certain that I'd be embarrassed for Ric Flair and that there was no way J.R. could have been drunk - I was ready for the worst....
And it really isn't as bad as people are making it out to be - seems like typical Ric Flair. Perhaps he was a little long-winded, who wouldn't be after being away from the business/company he loves for such a long time.
Jim Ross, on the other hand - really does seem like something is wrong with him - I've never seen him like that before. Not so much the slurring of the words, I've seen that before - but the extended sentences, sort of rambling at times, strange noises, pig-latin (how many times does he say "ix-nay").... not at all the J.R. that I'm accustomed to. It's really odd....
I think if J.R. had been more alert - he should have controlled the panel a little bit better and cut Flair off when he told the long stories.... I'm thinking perhaps J.R. is a light-weight, maybe he had one or two drinks and they knocked him on his rear end?
