Something's wrong with Ric Flair

Eh. It's for charity.

I love the range of reactions. Foley's sheepish, awkward laughing, Conrad looking mildly uncomfortable but Ric and Tony laughing uproariously at this story of the good ol' days.

I legit LOL'd at Conrad's nervous water drinking.

Absolutely nuts that Mongo and Flair are still scheduled to appear near La Crosse, WI Oct 22.
Even if its a fund raiser, Mongo should probably rest.

This hurts. Dean's looking rough too. Been a minute since I've seen him.

If Mongo’s comfortable appearing in that condition in public, I wouldn’t discourage him. On brand for Ric Flair to show off the poor condition of a colleague though.

He was the biggest gossiping bitch on his old podcast when it came to talking about wrestlers in poor health. Picture doesn’t surprise me. A lot of the relies are about how he shouldn’t be posting this.

I mean, he looks like a fairly average 62 year old man

Parkinson’s on top of that. By all accounts I think he looks decent.

Did we really learn nothing from the Paul Orndorff saga?

 

[alkeiper]

It depends on consent. The unique aspect of ALS is the person is generally fully aware. Orndorff on the other hand was clearly suffering mental effects.

Dean's going to be at my local wrestling store next month, and I'm taking my daughter to meet him (she comes to all the meet and greets I go to at the store). He's been a favorite of mine for years, so this is a must do for me.

I'm not sure if McMichael was at the roast fundraiser thing (I don't think so, but don't know). But I'm not aware of him being advertised for the event near La Crosse. Flair is booked, as well as former Green Bay Packer Gilbert Brown (it's part of an annual thing he does at a campground), but the Mongo stuff has been advertised as a fundraiser, not that they'll necessarily be wheeling his hospital bed out to ringside.

Alkeiper's made some good points here as well. When it's more physical than mental, a consideration for human pride is necessary. Very easy to say from afar that all sick, injured, etc people should just be shelved up somewhere. But when the brain is still active and functioning, people remain interested in doing as much of the things as they used to do...even if that just means being physically at events, so they can see other faces, which might be more important to them than other peoples' opinions on how much different they look due to a condition.

Mongo loved the spotlight and being a people person so much that I could see him wanting people to see that he's still here, smiling and with his friends even if he looks radically different from what we remember.

Still listed as appearing.

--
Mongo has a ton of pics from recent months released via media and his team mates and friends visiting. Some are far more unsettling than the Horseman one.
--
My travel comment largely stems from my uncle's case, where he traveled against doctor's orders "To live a normal life" and died shortly thereafter due to the aftereffects. His was a heart issue/water retention though.

 

[Valeyard]

Dean looks unwell, and Parkinsons makes total sense. Something's off in the eyes and his arms are mad tiny.

Gonna be a bummer when we get all these pictures of Paul Roma in the hospital alone someday. Horsemen can't be trusted.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Paul Roma's probably in the best shape out of any of the ex-Horsemen. He runs a wrestling school in Connecticut and wrestles occasionally. He looks a solid 10-15 years younger than his actual age.

He's also probably the Horsemen that hangs out with Flair the least. Is there a correlation? Maybe!

 

[Valeyard]

I honestly thought that until this recent event none of them hung out with Flair at all.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I don't think any of them hang out with Flair socially but the others have to interact with him at conventions.

Like I'm sure Conrad would book a '93 Horsemen review because he's booked plenty that's just as if not more random but Paul Roma's not gonna do it.

WWE legend Ric Flair already back in wrestling training just weeks after retirement match

God dammit!

 

[Hawk 34]

See he said he was done rasslin, now it’s time for his long overdue MMA career.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Nah dude.

He's going for the Triller money.

That figure is about what I would expect, tbh.

[alfdogg]

Yeah gotta pay all that alimony first

 

[Hawk 34]

Which old timers even more hard on their luck than Flair himself do you think Ric propositioned after a couple rounds of Jack and cokes to “take out” all his ex wives.

Thankfully Bob Sweetan is no longer with us.

Idk what they’re complaining about, the Ric Flair figure Mr. LJN received is a more accurate representation of what Flair actually looks like irl than the advertised figure.

Weak, unsteady @BruiserBrody wooing.

And here I thought Woo Wings was shameless.
