For those "youngsters" that never got see the real Ric Flair, not the shell of his old self that was in the WWE, check this out and see why nobody, including The Rock, could cut a promo like him:
What was so great about Flair was that the man could cut promos that made you get excited over any match, even if it was arm wrestling at the local mall for a pretzel.
Though nothing beats how he beat Kiloff(spelled right!) in the steel cage for the belt, then Kiloff and his tag team partner beat up on Flair....then Dusty Rhodes comes in for the rescue, but as soon as the baddies are cleared, Flair has the Horsemen come into the Cage and CREAM Rhodes.
Nothing in wrestling is that heelish awesome these days...
I used to watch the Saturday evening WCW show from Turner's tiny TV studio just for the Flair promos. Another thing you'll never see in the WWE are the 60 minute matches Flair used to have against guys like Sting and Steamboat, etc.

Yeah, remember when at the original Clash of the Champions, aired head-to-head with Wrestlemania IV(if I remember right), Flair defended his strap against a newcomer named Sting in a 45 minute draw, and effectively "put over" Sting as main event material.
When I was young, they used to have matches at an old converted theater near my house. Basically it was mostly WWWF jobbers headlining the card. You'd get to see guys like SD "Special Delivery" Jones actually win a match.
-Glad to see Shelton Benjamin is the new United States Champion -Wow, they're jobbing John Cena to JBL now? -No, surprise, Triple H retains against Edge
There are some rumors going around that WWE could release Mr. Kennedy once his current contract expires. A source close to Kennedy believes there is something to the speculation, reports ProWrestling.NET. Kennedy is said to have lost his confidence as he is constantly being pulled in different directions by various officials. This has caused him to second guess himself. Kennedy will be out four to six months following shoulder surgery.

Off-TV. The fans/viewers got tired of Vince weekly as either idiotic Vince or villain Vince, and I think wisely he decided to go off television for awhile.
Yeah. He confirmed it on the Opie and Anthony Show last week. I just did a search, and Wikipedia has this:
On September 3, 2008, Foley's agency, the Gillespie Agency, issued a press release that stated Foley had signed a short-term deal with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Foley claimed in the statement to be "very excited about the specifics of this agreement and the potential it holds". On September 4, on Foley's official My Space profile, Foley posted a blog which ended with, "See you in the Impact Zone". Foley made his TNA debut on September 5, at a TNA houseshow in hometown of Long Island by giving a short speech about how he loved the product
I guess we'll find out Friday
