RIC FLAIR is an A**HOLE - Jim Ross & "Consent" Tweets Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 Hello everybody. It's the Stevie Richard Show YouTube exclusive part three. Once again, apologies. This isn't the best quality version of the videos that you may well expect from the Stevie Richard Show. We're sort of rushing all this out because there's a lot of news and we're not around for the rest of the week as well. So, we're sort of doing everything recording in advance. We have to talk about Rick Flair and his I've just written spouts nonsense on Twitter. So, uh we'll deal with the first one first. In a now deleted tweet, Ric Flair said that the legendary commentator Jim Ross
• 00:30 - 01:00 uh and his cancer update and all that kind of thing was just seeking attention and he should focus on his recovery instead. Here is the quote. Jim Ross will always be Jim Ross seeking attention. Focus on your recovery. And then he tags JRSBBQ in that as well. Ric Flair the day before would later try and pass it off as a joke. But the thing is is that uh it almost seems like this was a response to something that was released a few days ago that Jim Ross had said about Ric Flair. So here is the quote
• 01:00 - 01:30 from that is where he's talking about who's Gary Jester? He worked for WCW. Am I right? Yeah, he worked for Gary Gary Jester worked for W or WCW, but also I believe he worked in Ring of Honor with Cornet when Cornet was the booker. I believe it was Gary Jester, right? He's been around for a while. Production generally are we saying? Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, then. So, this is what Jim Ross said when recounting a story from back in the day. So, uh they come from the arena. This is Ric Flair and a couple of the wrestlers. And Ric Flair's
• 01:30 - 02:00 got his garment bag with him. Now, you know where this is going. He goes to the bathroom like anybody else would or maybe drinking too. Now, did you mention just to cut you off for one quick second, did you mention a con the context of this? I'm sorry I didn't. Um so, that makes it even worse, right? That's why you have to put that fact in there. No, I'm sorry I didn't. So this was Gary just his wife's birthday. So there weren't that many people there and practically none of them were wrestling fans, wrestling people. Didn't know anything about wrestling or probably didn't even know Rick. Plus the fact
• 02:00 - 02:30 it's a woman's birthday party. Let's keep that in mind with what you're about to read. Correct. Yeah. So basically goes in the bathroom. Jim Ross alleges that he was drinking in the bathroom apparently. Uh so Ric Flair throws down the drink. He comes back out. He's got a thrasher towel. He's got kneeh high socks. his alligator shoes and a boner and no underwear. And he's strutting around flashing with his robe. Of course, here is his wife. This is Gary Justice's wife. Uh something that she had never encountered, but frankly,
• 02:30 - 03:00 nobody encountered anything quite like this. But no, we've heard stories about Ric Flair doing this on planes and everywhere else, but this seems like really weird to do this. Why is he doing this on a party where nobody knows who he is? I have no idea. I have no idea except for the fact much like uh I guess the the ultimate deflection of this tweet, right? Basically saying that JR is an attention, you know, an attention [ __ ] seeking attention, but there's
• 03:00 - 03:30 nobody in the world that is more of an attention [ __ ] than Ric Flair. And what I would say is it's about his wife and her birthday. I need to be the center of attention. This is just my guess and my speculation. And speaking of alcohol, I I would guess this tweet, the first one at least, has to do maybe with being connected to some alcohol consumption. This is a dude I I mean, come on. What are you doing making even if you say a day later it's a joke, this guy's
• 03:30 - 04:00 literally fighting for his life against cancer. Whether or not the surgery surgery was a success, it goes into remission. Jim Ross has to worry about this coming back for the rest of his life. So, and you make a joke that he's only doing it to get attention, which I don't believe the initial tweet was a joke. No, that that's the thing. Jo, right? I you know me, I've got a terribly dark sense of humor as of that we don't really display on this show for obvious reasons. But the thing is is
• 04:00 - 04:30 that at no point did it come across like a joke whatsoever. It just came across as a complaint. I mean, there's there's there's jokes and then there's just quite clearly him just whining about something that Jim Ross said that he didn't. Ric Flair did this the previous tweet. Do the previous tweet while we're talking about this maniac. Okay. What happened? He put a picture up of the sexual consent form or something. That was the same day. We're talking We're going to talk about that in a minute. You hang on there. We're going to be talking about that in a minute. Don't
• 04:30 - 05:00 you worry. I have to hang on to his boner, but I just hang on in virtually. No, that's where the towel hangs on, I guess. But um anyway, right. So, like a year or two ago when Shane Douglas and I were doing I don't know if it was our podcast or was just interviewing and someone wrote in a question saying something about Ric Flair. You know, it's just he's getting himself into a sad state and you know, essentially ruining his legacy, which is fine. I think a lot of people might agree with that. Quite frankly, Shane gave a very nuanced, which I know
• 05:00 - 05:30 a lot of people don't like, nuanced answer, saying, "Yes, we fell out. I didn't think he was a very good boss. Here are my issues with him. That being said, it looks like he's going down, you know, continually going down the wrong rabbit hole with alcohol or blah blah, whatever it might be." And Shane expressed genuine concern because like, he was my favorite as a kid. He's one of the reasons I got into wrestling. I wish no ill will on him. I hope he gets better and I wish nothing but the best for him. Ric Flair then um because I
• 05:30 - 06:00 remember cuz someone from um someone sent me a preview video of it where Rick just talked about it completely missed the point and just and he was slurring on this podcast as well. Flair and just talking about what a piece of that was the one with Mark Madden. Correct. No, no, no, no. This No, he was with Conrad at this point. Well, the same hero of that show that went from Mark to Conrad. And I did see the clip from Shane cuz we talked about it and I was like that was about the kindest, most uh I I would say caring, empathetic way of putting what
• 06:00 - 06:30 Rick is doing and how it kind of hurt Shane as a as a as a lifelong fan of his work. That's that's the interpretation I got. Yeah. But the thing is that I mean Ric Flair is the most thin skinned wrestler in the world. Like bar none. And anyone who mentions him, I mean, we'll probably hear about this, but anybody who mentions him, he has to go off on them. He did it with Dutch, he's done it with Shane on, you know, my shows personally, he's doing it with Jim Ross, you know, recounting a story of
• 06:30 - 07:00 Ric Flair doing bizarre behavior. And the thing is, we're going to talk about more stuff obviously uh soon regarding Rick and and the consent form thing, but it's but it's like like you can't just brush something like that off as a joke when it didn't read as a joke whatsoever. It just came across as you're potentially dying. Stop being an attention. I don't get it. I I don't get it either. And we're going to talk about the the previous tweet with whatever out
• 07:00 - 07:30 of nowhere that was completely tonedeaf. But I remember after the plane ride from hell, the infamous thing with You were not on this, were you? I asked you this. I was on the plane ride from hell. Absolutely. I didn't see any of that stuff going on. I saw the Brock and Kurt thing happen and them slamming up against the exit door crash and myself were sitting to the right here and the exit door was right there. And then the previous thing where uh Vince wanted to shoot with Kurt Angle in the in the aisleway up in first class, that all
• 07:30 - 08:00 happened. But I want to say after all this, Rick stood in front of everybody at a talent meeting either right after that when we landed or the week after that. I It wasn't long after the incident to say he has a problem. He has an addiction. He's going to get help. He's going to get better. And I don't think any of that happened. I think he obviously was forced to make that apology at the Talon meeting and he was very emotional as Rick tends to get. He was tearyeyed and it looked like he was
• 08:00 - 08:30 very sincere about that and after that he was on his best behavior for just a little while. I don't know how long, but obviously he just goes right back to it and maybe he's just the best worker in the business and he fakes the tears and he acts like he has some sort of contrition. I don't know how long ago this was, but this mirrors the exact thing from the plane ride from hell, the Gary Jester's wife's birthday party. And I think it is the ultimate attention seeking that you
• 08:30 - 09:00 just can't peel back and let a woman enjoy her birthday party, which by the way, it cannot be understated. These are civilians. These are not wrestling people. Gary Jester, even being in wrestling, is a production person. may have never been exposed to anything like this in his life. Exposed is the word. Exactly. Yeah. So, you got to bring up the previous tweet, which I didn't even know was the same exact day. So, is this dude on another bender and then he just
• 09:00 - 09:30 tweets? I tell you right now, Rick, just based on my experience over the past 9 to 12 months being off social media, it's the best feeling in the world. I I suggest you try it. Right. This wasn't just written. This was a Photoshop certificate and I doubt he made it. So, someone probably made it for him. Then he thought it was funny and posted it. But the thing is is once again you say tonedeaf. So shortly beforehand he also posted a mock contract called the Woo Compromise. Uh ironic since Flair has
• 09:30 - 10:00 found himself in some compromising positions over the years. I think you'll agree ah well done. Haha. Uh by signing this compromise, both parties involved agree to ride Space Mountain and engage in sexual relations on this night. This contract adheres to guidelines of informed consent, and both people in the relationship must be present and not in an intoxicated state before signing. No party should be pressured or persuaded into something that they do not want to do, and they reserve the
• 10:00 - 10:30 right to terminate the contract if need be. This contract has the signed and sealed approval of the nature boy Ric Flair who was who has taken many women for a ride on Space Mountain and has the utmost respect for women. Now, that's all well and good and amusing and stuff like that. If Ric Flair hadn't had a number of allegations put to him that sort of flies in the face of this joke certificate form contract kind of thing. There's only one question I have about this one and the JR one. Why? Like what
• 10:30 - 11:00 is possessing you? The JR1 I kind of understand cuz he's he's a response. He cannot like you said he cannot just say well this person said this fine f them whatever. He has to respond. Even Shawn Michaels I remember I said it before he stood in front of some TV or something. It was weird lighting in like a living room or you know like a man cave and he's talking like Shawn Michaels you think you're a Christian. you claim to be like he's burying the guy who
• 11:00 - 11:30 idolized him and he even had things to say about Triple H at one point, right? Who also idolized him. Shane Mc Shane McMahon. Shane Douglas was a fan of his. I'm telling you right now and I told you the other day uh or the other episode about the Ricky Steamboat agent clip. I watch Flair versus Steamboat matches whenever they come up in my feed on YouTube. Ric Flair is a lot of fun to watch Ric Flair. But I'm telling you right now, every time this happens and I see a Ric Flair match or something
• 11:30 - 12:00 wrestling wise, even when I was a fan of it way back in the day, I bypass it because I'm like, I just can't stomach to look at this guy sometimes. With Rick as well, I mean, Aron Anderson used to be his best friend and they fell out many years ago over money. He say, "Yeah, basically Aron lend him money. This is the rumor. Nobody's ever counted it or anything. owed him money. Rick owed Ron money and then Rick turned around and said, "You're I'm I'm the
• 12:00 - 12:30 reason you had a career or you're lucky or I'm not paying you back or whatever." So that's that's what he does to friendships and marriages and any any personal relationships. The people that do the most for this guy seemingly go into the crosshairs more than anybody. I'm sure JR has done a lot for Ric Flair as an office person, especially as a commentator putting him over and they were probably friends. I mean, I remember that that real bad fiasco with the W WWE 2K launch
• 12:30 - 13:00 thing where they were up on stage, remember? Mhm. That was also embarrassing, you know. But it wasn't fault. Yeah. He was the one who got canned. Wouldn't you believe it? Yeah. Dude, well then that's beside the point of anything. I know Jim took own ownership of that as well. And Rick could learn a lesson from Jim about that kind of stuff. It's just at this point, he's Ric Flair. People are always going to book him. He's always going to be figured in. He's back in WWE, right? Didn't they sign him to a contract?
• 13:00 - 13:30 Flair. Uh yeah, he was back in um he made an appearance on LFG recently. So yeah, I mean I guess he's in the fairly Well, here's the thing. He made he was in the fairly good graces of WWE, I guess, in that point. But then he also made an appearance on AW television recently in a tribute to Steve Mcichael. So, who knows? I think he might still be under AW contract, weirdly. Well, the the Steve Mcichael thing is understandable and they didn't do that really with WWE and he was more of a WCW wrestler. Flair can appear and Flare Flare I said before it it becomes
• 13:30 - 14:00 more distant of a wish as these things happen but Flair can be the ultimate ambassador to the sport to the business to every promotion and make money without taking a bump. But this guy once again that last match he said is not going to be his last match. So we going to see Ric Flair also back in the ring again in the future like Roane on a pole or something like that. Maybe it's incredibly disappointing to see this. And we did a
• 14:00 - 14:30 clip of Bruno San Martino and Ric Flair having their thing back what 2004 who looks, you know, for people to bury Bruno. Bruno has always carried himself like a gentleman and Bruno has always tried to stand by his ethics and you can call Bruno somewhat of a mark for himself, but he took pride in what he did. This here is just scorch. Used the term scorched earth before uh in a previous clip. Ric Flair feels the need to go go scorched earth on everybody
• 14:30 - 15:00 around him and including himself cuz he's only hurting himself in the end. The tweets have since been deleted. Would you believe a lot of deleted tweets going on around the time? But uh Flair anyway responded yesterday. Uh if you can't take a joke from a 76-y old man, then you are living life too seriously. It was all harmless, light-hearted fun, just trying to make people laugh and smile. Okay, I don't know if that's in response to the Jim Ross thing or not, or the consent thing or not, but uh they they've both gone, I think, now. But here's the thing. I
• 15:00 - 15:30 mean, especially with the consent form. I did write this down. This is like Ric Flair talking about consent, you know, with like the dark side of the ring allegations. There were other allegations out there as well. Shane Douglas has said this. He witnessed stuff in the bar that was absolutely out of order. And we're not just talking about flashing. He's said that on previous interviews. I mean, it'd be like Benoir talking about how to be a great husband. You know, it's like you are not the messenger for for what is a good message. You are the worst messenger for it. There's it's incredibly tonedeaf
• 15:30 - 16:00 obviously, you know, outside of any allegations or anything like that. Just to put that up in 2025 in any shape, form or fashion. And like you said, someone else probably created it. Maybe Rick told him to create it or they saw it and he thought it was great and put it up. But then for some reason, how does the tone change from that? And you're right, I'm looking at this joke that if you can't take a joke from a 76-y old man, I don't think he I think he is talking about that that photo that he put up and not the JR thing. So he's
• 16:00 - 16:30 100 either you're joking in a really tonedeaf way about JR or you're still 100% serious that you think he's just seeking attention by talking about his cancer diagnosis and treatment. Which is it going to be either way? It sucks. It's stupid. Yeah. I don't understand how he's seeking attention from just I've got colon cancer and then the next message was going in for surgery. Then the next message is surgery successful
• 16:30 - 17:00 with a photo of him. That's more or less what he's put out. I'm going to tell you right now, J.R. is the least attention see. He doesn't want to be bothered by anybody. He wants to be left alone. You could tell. Not not in a crotch any way, but he's very much just like, I want to live my life. I want to I'm done. You know what I mean? I want to do what I do and I'm fine being uh doing what I'm doing on my own. I I don't know, man. I That's like me saying, "Wow, this is going to get a great amount of views. I'm so happy I got this spine infection. So, am I am I an attention [ __ ] too,
• 17:00 - 17:30 Rick? Cuz man, you talking about living a charmed life. This dude is I don't get it. He just keeps getting opportunity upon opportunity and he keeps telling people, I want to destroy my opportunity you're giving me. Yeah. I mean a few years ago after he got through what was he given 5 10% for that surgery and you know a lot of it I guess was based on just how much how much he consumed over the years why his body was in such horrible shape and then you know he left off the alcohol for a while and now he
• 17:30 - 18:00 just went straight back on it again. It's like well in that last match uh vignette him and David Crockett on a boat drinking beers. Mhm. And then the Undertaker because he didn't drink any water and part of the day wasn't just dehydration. a lot of stuff. I mean, he passed out twice during the match, but Undertaker had to shove a Gatorade, you know, into him to tell him, "Drink this afterwards." So, thank God. Who knows how bad he would have been if Undertaker didn't even make him drink some or all that Gatorade. It was worse. He had a heart attack. He actually had a mild
• 18:00 - 18:30 heart attack that they only found out afterwards, during the match. And that was the time where he probably said, "Well, it's definitely not my last match." I mean, does this guy have a you know, we talked about before, does he have a death wish to die in the ring or that's beside the point. You know, you you try to have empathy and sympathy for another human being. You're trying to understand, you know, not letting go when it comes to under the last match or whatever the last match is going to be. But this stuff, you you can't be sympathetic or empathetic to a person like Ric Flair who has no sympathy or
• 18:30 - 19:00 empathy for another human being. He is a narcissist. He's the absolute ultimate narcissist that he thinks because he would seek attention with that because he wants to stay relevant and maybe guess what how many people are talking about Ric Flair right now. So he accomplished his mission no matter how negative or positive that it might be. People are now talking about Ric Flair and I'm sure he was trending on social media. I'm sure he was as well. Right on that we're going to leave it. Thank you everybody for watching. This was the
• 19:00 - 19:30 last of the three YouTube exclusive videos. The usual. Can I say one thing? Oh, yes. Hey, Rick, I know I'm a jobber that never drew money there. I I already saved you your tweet. There you go. In in fairness, you're drawing money now, baby. Well, I'm just saying it because that's his that's his go-to for everybody is to marginalize. Put it this way. You're drawing more money than he is right now. Yeah, absolutely. You cannot Rick Flair, you can never bury me more than I bury
• 19:30 - 20:00 myself. You can never be harder on me than I am on myself. Trust me. Watch my four workout videos and comment below if you can break and like and subscribe as well. It's good for the algorithm. Right. Okay then. Uh I don't know if we're going to post this today. We might actually post it tomorrow. So whichever day it is, Monday or Tuesday if you see this. Thank you for watching. The full episodes are running as normal every single Friday. So episode 49 is coming out this Friday, I believe. So that'll be Unforgiven part two as well as a bunch of other stuff there as well. So once again, thank you for watching. We
