Classic Flair/Bret Hart Face Off Promo

tinyurl.com/38kn3l

LWPD (this was from WCW Nitro circa January '98...while this was done to set up an impending PPV match...the issues of ego and legacy were all too real...in later years these two men have exchanged some vicious barbs at one another...don't be surprised to see the flames reignited with the release of BH's new book)

"I am the best that there is...was...or ever will be...and if you have a problem with it...too bad..."

-Bret Hart...a credible 'serious face' promo man...and in later years surprisingly good as a heel...but never among the elite mic workers of the era

"It's a new year...I'm gonna let you one more time say...you might think you're better than Harley Race...Jack Brisco...Dory Funk Jr...Gene Kiniski...anybody else you want to list that's in the record book...but you in your heart...and let's take all the comedy out of this...in your heart...you couldn't possibly think...no pun intended...that you are a better performer...in this sport...than I am...I want you...you know we all fess up brother...I'm not saying I'm what I was ten years ago...ten years ago I could go out there with a broom...now I have to have someone that's got a heart beat buddy...but today I'm telling you...that I got to hear you say it...I want to cut all the crap out...take all the humor out of this situation...you think you're better than me I want to hear you say it...don't talk about everybody else...you say I'm better than you Ric Flair if you believe that in your heart..."

-Ric Flair...who's legacy was never properly protected by WCW booking....even though he was still the perennial king of the quarter hour...usual due to promos like this

Try your best to win them all
And one day time will tell
When you’re the one that’s standing there
You’ll reach the final bell!

-Joe Esposito 'You're The Best'

Great clip Paint. They could've done so much more with this rivalry. They had that awesome match at Souled Out and then...nothing.

The song you included there is funny because when I was in the military one of my buddies and I would use that song to comically shake our nerves off as we were streching out before a PT (physical training) test. Brings back some funny memories.
