In terms of character humor and nothing serious: "when I die, it's gonna be in the ring or on top of a wild woman. I hope it is here!", "My shoes cost more than your house" and that promo on Ricky Morton something to the effect of "I like the full sweater women while you prefer the tiny training bras" are golden.
Though from the mid to late 80s: slick Ric in studio was always golden. Bound to bring something.
I could be wrong, but I think it was on a Nitro or Thunder, where he pointed out someone in the crowd and said, "Shut up, fat boy! Before I take your girlfriend home and make her into a woman! WOOOOO!" And of course the crowd erupted. :lol What a guy.
"And I'll tell you right now, Wahoo, you will never put your hands on this again...unless you're man enough to leave me laying in the middle of that ring."
"Whether you like it or you don't...learn to love it...because it is the best thing going today!"
"I'm a 60-minute man, and I'm ALL NIGHT LONG!"
"This ain't no garden party...this is wrestling where only the strongest survive!"
One of my favorite ones....promo at the expense of Rick Steamboat in preparation for their match at Chi-Town Rumble....
""You really despise that $10,000 man coat? Wouldn't you like to have one of those, pal? Don't you despise this $15000 custom-made silk suit? Wouldn't you like to have one of those? That's what's being the World Champion is all about. I'm a diversified business-man, pal. You, my friend, are on the outside looking in. Hey girls: I want you to take one last look of what a loser looks like. Why don't you go home and help the misses with the dishes, pal? I'm going downtown."
His Marriot promo on Nikita Kiloff- "At about the twenty minute mark in Philadelphia you were like all the girls at the Marriot in room 806 when JJ turned out the lights. The Horsemen were all in position. We were all hollering, screaming, we were easing the roof and all of a sudden all the girls hollered stop we can't take anymore. That was you Nikita. The referee heard ya I heard ya. You said Nature Boy I can't handle it you're too much of a man"
THE CONSORTIUM WAS ME AND NOW YOU AND I ARE LIMOUSINE-RIDIN, JET-FLYIN, KISS-STEALIN, WHEELIN & DEALIN SON OF A GUNS! YOU WANNA KNOW WHY? BECAUSE WE'RE PARTNERS!"
"Why don't you go home and help the misses with the dishes, pal? I'm going downtown."
"OLD YELLER? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I've got your Old Yeller! *slaps HBK* I SAID I've got your Old Yeller!"
Flair's final Nitro promo was awesome and I liked it when he named past and present WCW guys.
The best thing about these are, that it is just Flair being Flair. The sad thing about these are that you aren't gonna get anything like them today.
You aren't gonna get quotes like this, from a star like this, delivered in a way that people still remember decades later when 99.9% of your stars today are limited to reciting a script written by some ex-sitcom writer whose never stepped foot in a ring or performed in front of a live crowd and then reviewed, revised and finally approved by Vince or Steph. It just ain't gonna happen.
