    Damn good television, damn good :) :) . . .

    He came on towards the end of RAW tonight. A lot of the old NWA/WCW Wrestlers came into the ring first to congratulate Ric Flair on his retirement (which he said tonight was final, so I guess that rules out a comback when he hits 60!!!!!!!!!!!). Man, Ricky Steamboat has gained a few pounds and lost some hair over the last few years . . . . The FOUR HORSEMEN reunited for the first time in 20 years. After his family came out, the entire WWE Wrestlers came out and gave him a 2 minute standing ovation along with the crowd as RAW ended. You can tell Ric was really touched by the moment :) :) . . .


    Soooooooooooooooooooo, I guess he will have more time now to follow the Canes during the Stanley Cup playoffs now, right :) :) (road & home games) ? ? ? ?

    I thought Flair looked bad until I saw the other horsemen come out. Tully and Barry looked rough. I wonder why they did not get Ole Anderson to come out though, he was an original horseman not Barry Windham.

    I enjoyed watching Flair over the years but it really was time for him to stop. He got to have one last match at Wrestlemania while he could still move around pretty good so what else can an almost 60 year old wrestler ask for?

    Ole turned down an offer to appear. He still has major heat with McMahon dating back to the Georgia Championship Wrestling days on TBS and Ole also ain't a big Flair fan.

    I did not realize that. I know Flair is good friends with Barry Windham so he probably preferred that version of the four horsemen anyway. I know he once said that was his favorite incarnation of the horsemen.

    The only one who was really missing was Sting. I guess working for TNA precluded him from being on RAW.

    That is true that the McMahons did not come out. They should have. The Undertaker came out too after the broadcast ended. You can look it up on Youtube. Maybe the McMahons came out too....
