Earlier on, Heel, I referenced the Starrcade 93 match between Big Van Vader and Ric Flair. Here's
a fantastic promo that Flair cut leading to the match. For context, this was after Flair returned to WCW for what many people expected to be his final run. Due to a non-compete clause, Flair had to host a talk show called "A Flair For the Gold" for a few months, but eventually returned to the ring to challenge Big Van Vader for the title. Now this was before Big Van Vader was a big fat piece of shit, and was quite possibly the scariest monster heel in pro wrestling--especially after his feud with Cactus Jack, which was notable for a level of brutality that we did not see in the 90s. Flair is in full-on babyface mode in a way he never was before, and never would be again after. They trotted out his family, including his useless son David and his dead son Reid. They introduced his wife at the time, Beth. I think even Charlotte Flair played a part in it. And this promo was just fantastic because it reminded us who Ric Flair was, letting us believe that he actually had a chance against the unstoppable monster (despite the stipulation that Flair put his career on the line all but tipping us off).
Two guys fighting to see who the best in the world is. A real main event. Because back then, we didn't have millennial fucks crying about how their favorite indie guy is being overlooked, forcing a company to dilute their main event by turning it into a three way, making it essentially meaningless.
