Full Version: Ric Flair vs Booty Man
Talk about it here.
This is a really cool match. Flair says if Hogan's going to take out his best friend, he's going to take out Hogan's best friend. And no one comes to his aid because he's Hogan's friend. Flair goes a little psycho (jdw's "turn it up to 11" criticism applies here), but Arn Anderson does one of his most famous promos:
"Intense pain is a wonderful thing, Gene Okerlund. Your life flashes before your eyes. Things that are the most important to you become crystal clear. You start to begin to learn the meaning of life. Last week, when they stuffed me in that ambulance, and I looked across and I saw Flair, Sting, Woman, Bagwell and myself, I realized that we were people brought together not by philosophy, but by necessity and I started to think 'New World Order, New World Order, where have I heard that?' And I remembered in the good book it says when the new world order is put into place, it signals the beginning of the end of time. Well, WCW is our world. It's where we live and breathe. And if you wanted to destroy it, Hogan and the Outsiders, you've already made a mistake that jumps off the page. If you're gonna take a baseball bat to a Horseman, finish the job, because there's one rule of gang fighting. See, we are the original gang, and we're the most vicious in all of professional wrestling history. They send one of yours to the hospital? You send one of theirs to the morgue."

This led up to my biggest disapointment with the whole NWO angle. I was salivating to see the Four Horsemen take out the NWO, and despite the awesome start...they just made the Horsemen look stupid. I got that it was going to have to be Sting who finally "saved the day", (and they fucked that up, too), but when they just had the NWO consistently beat up and make the Horsemen look dumb I got more interested in watching McMahon try everything to get back on top.
