I’m sure everyone’s seen the new Elite depicting this moment. How many did you preorder The Brain ? ![:D](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/grin.gif) ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJeUQw3UcAQ-gbb?format=jpg&name=large) ![](https://www.icegif.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/icegif-741.gif) ![](https://media.tenor.com/Z54rgw_KKy8AAAAM/just-stop-okay-roger-davis.gif)

He said it was the worst toilet paper he's ever used.

God, it's amazing you have Ricky aging with grace and dignity, and Flair aging like milk, that's been in the fridge since the 80s.

I don’t get the feeling that Ricky burnt the candles at both ends the way Flair did. The fact he’s still kicking is a minor miracle. It’s too bad after his health scare from a few years ago it seems like he’s dove back into some bad habits.

Very murky waters. WWE would probably claim ownership due it appearing on filmed exhibition that was probably part of the ticket purchasing agreement that nobody really reads. The thought of them tracking down a random fan from 34 years ago for an okay is pretty funny though.

I think they really wanted to use Warrior as an attraction to boost sales. I really don't think he was considered for a title run in 1996. Had he done well in 1996, maybe by 97 he could have gotten a shot.

You know Warrior wouldve lobbied for it at some point though. Thus let the drama begin all over again

But I really think Vince saw him as an attraction to boost sales. He was losing all his old stars to WCW at this point which was helping them in the ratings/war, I bet he saw Warrior as his answer to Hogan, Savage, Flair, etc. for WCW.

Let’s not forget as late as December of ‘97 Vince was trying to push a 5 year deal Warrior’s way. ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQnrc3mXIAEFWfo?format=jpg&name=900x900)

1992 was a bit jarring to me as a fan. By the end of the year Savage is pretty much relegated to the announce booth. Bret who I thought of as an IC/Tag level guy is world champion. ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fz13TH7acAAlg7V?format=jpg&name=large)
