Paid Members Surf Digby Posted June 26, 2022 Paid Members Posted June 26, 2022 Hands up, I'll admit that promo gave me tingles. I'm torn on this. I have no doubt that he's going to go all out, and aim to put on a proper spectacle. And I want it to be great, but no matter how much time he's put into the gym, them bones aren't what they once were, and I have visions of him at the end of the hardcore match he did with Foley where he looked like someone being lifted out of a car wreck. The other thing is, he wants to put on a "real wrestling" match, which I interpret as his classic NWA style, but who else is capable of delivering a truly main event match in that style nowadays?

I doubt it would make much difference at this stage, he's already held together by gaffer tape and fake tan. In for a penny, in for a pound as they say. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 29, 2022 Paid Members Posted June 29, 2022 Nick Aldis wouldn't be a bad shout. He's worked with Flair before, and he's capable of holding up the more physical side of things. Quote
Paid Members Tommy! Posted June 29, 2022 Paid Members Posted June 29, 2022 He's certainly not going to risk overshadowing flair in charisma either. Quote
The Masked Poster Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Any news on an opponent yet? All seems to have gone quiet? Quote
Infinity Land Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Considering the sales I think they realised they didn't need it. Whatever they announced wouldn't be on a par with everyone's fantasy booking. There's a Road To.../10 Pounds of Gold doc series in the build up. I think they either announce it in the last episode of that. Or it becomes part of the Roast of Ric Flair. Quote
Paid Members Nick James Posted July 15, 2022 Paid Members Posted July 15, 2022 What are the chances of Jericho after Flair seemed to go off on him on Twitter this week? First thing that came to mind after I saw the tweet from Flair saying Jericho isn't a living legend etc. Quote

First thing that came to mind after I saw the tweet from Flair saying Jericho isn't a living legend etc. That's probably a good shout. Jericho seems to get on well with Conrad so I assume that'll help. Would probably massively appeal to Jerichos ego as well. Quote
David Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Not to mention the main points of Jericho being a relatively safe pair of hands for Flair to work with, vastly experienced, and a big name in the industry? Quote
Infinity Land Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 I wouldn't read into the Jericho thing. Whoever's running the account tries to keep it relevant. Quote
