about time.

while i was never a Flair fan. What he did was amazing. he carried so many organizations its insane. he would help make them big and they would let them go. then they would bring him back and they would get big.

to bad sting couldnt be there heh.

He is busy dealing with the lawsuit from his stupid son smashing his second high-powered car.

i actually cried

Don't feel bad, you weren't the only one. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, either Sunday at WMXXIV or tonight on RAW. Nice to see some of the old "gang" tonight on RAW too !

From the early days at Georgia Championship Wrestling, the NWA, etc., all the way up through WCW and WWF/WWE, I alternately loved and loathed the guy (he practically defined the over-the-top "heel" IMHO). But one thing was always constant - I respected the heck out of the guy, right to the very end.

Perhaps Reed will follow in his shoes, as he has had a very good amateur wrestling career of his own (just like his dad).

To be THE MAN you got to beat THE MAN, and nobody ever did it better than Ric !

"Space Mountain" is now closed ... ;)

Cool that Arn Anderson was there... was Dean Malenko also there? I think he works for WWE now.. too bad Sting or Hitman weren't there. I didn't see 'Taker.

Yep, all the "Horsemen" were there except for Ole Anderson.

Wasn't a chance in he][ that the 'Hitman would be there, not as long as Vince owns the show.

Huh? They did the hall of fame for Bret Hart.. so why can't he go back in the ring? Oh, and you're forgetting BENWAH! I'm sure there are a couple of other Horsemen you're forgetting.. wasn't Sid Vicious at ONE point one of them?
