That's one of the greatest pieces of footage in wrestling history! FUN FACT: This was all off the cuff. Lethal approached Flair to talk about it, and Flair just said, "I don't talk about promos. See you out there."

Yes, (on camera) Kevin Nash gave Lethal the idea to adopt the "Black Machismo" impression of Randy Savage for his character, and Lethal ran with it. Excellent Macho Man impression as well. But this bit here with Flair takes the cake.

Taz also (rightly) lost his mind, and made his own mark in here, but it is actually "The Living Legend" Mike Tennay who says "This is the damnedest thing I've ever seen!" One of my favorite commentary pairings, on one of the greatest things I've ever seen in wrestling - ! Let us all "WOO! WOO!! ...WOO!!!"

Jay Lethal even said the WOO-off was completely improvised.

@eugenerobinson1123

Жыл бұрын

Yes indeed. That segment was funny as hell also.

This is the greatest segment in TNA/Impact history. I love the end call by Taz which almost gets overlooked because by that time your either laughing or so focused you kind of miss hearing it. But Flair says, "That's my line" and then Lethal and him go back and forth while Taz says, "What's Flair's deal, he's stole about 10 of Flair's lines." It's not so much what Taz says, but the way he says it comes of to me as "You finally caught on that he's impersonating you." It's so minor but it really helps solidify the entire segment and give Lethal that extra little something as the segment ends that establishes him as the babyface who just outsmarted the legendary and seasoned veteran Ric Flair. Ric Flair has had a couple podcasts over the years and in one of the early versions he had Lethal on and they obviously talked about this segment. This was essentially done with no prep work and as a result I think that's what makes it so great. None of this feels forced. They are just playing off of each other and as a result topping each other so it only gets better as the promo continues. Also of note, Lethal thanked Flair because what nobody had known at the time until then was the match this lead to was originally supposed to be Flair beating Lethal and Flair told TNA management they had a star in Lethal and it was a mistake not to be putting him over. So Flair got the finished changed and did the honors for Lethal. Flair told Lethal he was happy to do it and it was the only thing that made sense to him so they could get Lethal to the next level.
