Ric Flair Fridays: Ric Flair vs .....RIC FLAIR?

Whether you like it, or you don't, learn to love it! Because it's the best thing going every Friday at the Coop. All the ability! All the looks! Sixteen times the World Champion! It's Ric Flair Fridays! WOOOOOOO!

The weekend is here, birds! And when it's Friday in Pigeon Country, it's Flair. Let's see what ol' Ric's got for us this week.

 WHOA! Now wait just a minute. Who is this handsome, Nubian stranger? And why on God's green earth is he making a mockery out of  the Nature Boy? What in the hell is happening here, wrestling fans? Has the world gone mad? 

 Eh, not really. Actually, what we have here are a couple of promo segments from TNA Impact (circa 2010) between Naitch and current Ring of Honor competitor Jay Lethal. Many folks who watch TNA best remember Lethal for his gimmick as "Black Machismo", in which he dressed up as and impersonated "Macho Man" Randy Savage. During this time, Lethal had come into possession of Ric Flair's coveted Hall of Fame ring, and decided to pay homage to the Nature Boy the only way he knew how.

Needless to say, Flair was less than appreciative of the gesture. This lack of respect on the part of Lethal would end up putting him in the cross hairs of both Flair, and his new stable of wrestlers he called "Fortune". 

Many thanks goes out to the official TNA Wrestling Youtube page for the videos. Enjoy the wackiness, birds. And enjoy your weekend! 

Ric Flair Fridays: A Feud in the Making

Allright, birds! I've got a nice treat for all you Flair fans today. Courtesy of Popculturestu at Youtube, here's a match from 1977 that pits the Nature Boy against a fresh faced rookie by the name of Ricky Steamboat for the Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling TV Title. Anyone who loves wrasslin' knows that these two have had some of the greatest matches in the history of the sport. So it's pretty cool to be able to witness the brawl that started it all!

Enjoy, my feathered friends. WOOOOOOOOOOO!

This week's touch of Flair takes us back to 1986, when Flair was headlining matches for Jim Crockett's National Wrestling Alliance. July 26, at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina, The Great American Bash was in full swing. Wahoo McDaniel and Jimmy Garvin locked horns in a Indian Strap match. Magnum T.A. and Nikita Koloff came to blows in the fourth match of a best of seven series for the U.S. Title. And in the main event, The Nature Boy would step inside the Steel Cage and defend his World Heavyweight Title against the man who had it stripped away from him after claiming it at Starcade '85: The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.

Here for your viewing pleasure is the match in it's entirety, coming to you courtesy of Youtube user xxWrestleClopediaxx,. Please make sure to turn up your speakers, as the volume is rather low due to the age of the VHS tapes that were transfered. Enjoy!

RIC FLAIR FRIDAYS! WOOOOOOOO!

Fridays at the Pigeon Coop are about to get a lot more flossy, as we take some time out of the day to celebrate one of the most entertaining personalities in professional wrestling: The immortal Ric Flair. From matches, to promos, to interviews, anything and everything that features the Nature Boy will be featured in this weekly segment. But enough talk...HAVE AT YOU!

One of the things I love so much about Ric Flair is his uncanny ability to fall on his face in the most ridiculous ways possible. I know I'm not alone in this belief, as YouTube user TJWFilmProductions has paid tribute to Flair's floundering in this exquisite montage. So grab your coffee, take a seat, and immerse yourself in the spectacle that is..."The Flair Flop."
