Ric Flair: "Thank you, thank you very much. I'm almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the twenty - five years that I've spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute of it. Now, somebody told me that the Horsemen were having a party tonight in Greenville! Could that be true that the most elite group that Eric Bischoff said was dead is alive and well?

Bischoff, this might be my only shot, and I gotta tell ya, I'm gonna make it my best. Is this what you call a great moment in TV? It's wrong, because this is REAL! This is not bought and paid for! It's a REAL - LIFE - SITUATION! Just like the night in Columbia, South Carolina, when you looked at me - tears in my eyes - and said 'God, that's good TV' - it was real! Arn Anderson passed the torch - it was real, dammit! You think Sting was crying in the dressing room like I was on TV if it wasn't real? This guy, my best friend, is one of the greatest performers who ever lived, and YOU - you squashed him, in one night. Then you get on the phone and tell me, 'Disband the Horsemen. They're dead. Disband the Four Horsemen.' You know what? I looked at myself in the mirror the next day and I saw a pathetic figure that gave up and quit! And for that, I owe you, the wrestling fans, I owe these guys an apology. Because it won't happen again! Bischoff, whatever you think... [Eric Bischoff marschiert ohne Mikro auf den Ring zu, hält jedoch inne als er vom wütenden Flair bereits von weitem beschimpft wird.]

You're an overbearing asshole! That's right! You're an obnoxious, you're an obnoxious, overbearing ass! Abuse of power! You! Abuse of power! Cut me off! Come on! It's called abuse of power! You suck! You... I hate your guts. [Bischoff zieht sich zurück in Richtung Eingang.] I hate your guts. You are a liar, you're a cheat, you're a scam, you are a no good son of a bitch. Fire me! I'm already fired! Fire me! I'm already fired!"

[10.0] "Probably my all time favorite promo/segment. This is how a worked shoot is done. Flair, and the rest of the Horsemen, hated Bischoff but were able to be professional in the ring. Although, I'm convinced the "fire me I'm already fired" part is completely off the cuff. There's so much emotion in this whole thing and you can feel how electric the crowd is."

[10.0] "I don't have much to comment on aside from the fact that this is one of the most rabid crowds I've ever seen and I got chills quite a few times. I don't think this is the best Ric Flair promo, but this is ridiculously moving."

[10.0] "Example of a truly great worked-shoot promo. Feels like you're getting a glimpse of something real and authentic, but it's not beating you over the head with fourth wall shock value shit."

[9.0] "Crowd is completely rabid for Flair, who in just a matter a minutes is able to go from shedding some tears to ranting like a madman."
