Ric Flair hat seit einigen tagen seine Biographie veroeffentlicht,dabei nimmt Flair kein Blatt vor dem Mund und rechnet mit einigen Leuten ziemlich ab.Dabei hat Flair denke ich einigemale ziemlich denn nagel auf denn Kopf getroffen,nur wird es wie ueberall auch so sein das Flair alle niedermacht bis auf sich.Ich habe das Buch noch nicht gelesen werde es mir aber in den naechsten Tagen tun.
Hier mal ein paar Auszuege:
Ueber Eric Bischoff:
”I had a thousand reasons for never punching out Eric Bischoff in WCW. He was an executive. I had dragged my family through one lawsuit, and didn’t want to get caught up in another – particularly one I would lose. But, when I was alone, I’d think, Why didn’t you just beat the sh-t out of him? And I blamed myself for never doing it.”
Ueber Bret Hart:
Bret never regained the fame he’d had in the World Wrestling Federation. Part of it had to do with terrible booking, the other part with Bret’s own deficiencies. What unnerved me the most was the way he used his brother’s death. Through his column in the Calgary Sun, Bret relentlessly bashed Vince McMahon. I sympathize with the emotion – and even the anger – he felt over losing a brother, but I lost respect for him when he made the case into a public spectacle. Why didn’t he take the matter up privately with Vince? It seemed to me that Bret cared more about getting “screwed” in Montreal than he did about Owen’s death, and he used his brother’s death to grind his ax with Vince
Ueber Jim Herd:
Jim Herd was an idiot. This is not defamation. I’m just telling you history. The man had no right to be anywhere near a wrestling company.
Ueber Randy Savage:
This isn’t kind to say, but fans didn’t care about Randy as much once Elizabeth was no longer part of the package. The company tried reversing this; they gave Randy the “Macho Midget,” and made Randy a color commentator like Bobby Heenan and Jesse “The Body” Ventura. But the departure of Elizabeth had taken away some of his edge as a performer. It’s another reason why I don’t consider Savage great; he just couldn’t carry it on his own.
Ueber seinen Sohn und Hulk Hogan:
”David didn’t say a word. He took it like a man. You had Curt Hennig and Barry Windham, two of the best performers during their primes, and they bounced around for every one of David’s moves. My son couldn’t do anything, and they made him look like a star. And then there was Hogan – with all his experience, and all his celebrity – trying to be cute. He whipped David like a dog. It was sickening, and I’ll never forgive him for it."
”There’s a difference between being a great performer and being a guy – like Brutus Beefcake or the Ultimate Warrior – who became famous because he happened to be working for Vince. It’s the same with Foley. When he hasn’t been working for Vince, there has been no demand for him whatsoever. He’s just another guy.”
