I ran into him before the signing as he came in. He was really cordial, put down his bags, and shook my hand and the trainee helping me with setup. All of my friends that went through the line said he was really nice, and he smile for every fan I saw him take a picture with. Wish more of the old timers showed that level of class.
Side note, Daffney was really nice the little I talked with her as well. She was one I was looking forward to seeing.

he was nice and professional, i didnt expect to have a in depth conversation with him or anything so i guess it was what i expected. He could of done some more woos when he did his in ring promo. He was real nice to me though seemed pretty genuine.

What exactly were you expecting? He's 59 years old, he went an hour longer than he was supposed to because there were so many people, and because there were so many people, there wasn't much more time to do anything besides sign the autograph or take the picture. Otherwise we might've had a midnight show. What about it didn't do it for you? You got to meet Ric Flair.

Flair was too worried about getting into some chicks pants to even give a handshake to me or the 5 people behind me you know to hear a 59 year old man hit on a young girl once or twice is fine but the eight times after it come on now he should have held a higher level of class than that. That's what didn't do it for me.

That's what didn't do it for me. Ric Flair couldn't have been nicer to me and my son...took his time both during the pic and signing, thanked us both individually each time for coming to the show, both Noah and I got a handshake, he was just a first class guy that alot of others could take a lesson from (Cough((sandman))Cough).

Did you want him to chop you? Lock you in the figure four? Ride Space Mountain with Tina? I didn't pay to see flair, but just by looking at his expressions throughout the night and I can tell you Flair gets a thrill from doing this all over the U.S. and globe. I don't think Flair lost his smile at all. I mean, the man just took +100 pictures and signed God knows how many items...if it was another wrestler, ala Sandman, you think they would be sitting there with flashes in their eyes and signing autographs up the wazoo they would be gone halfway through, if that.

I don't mean to detract from this thread or change the subject, but I think it's awesome that Chris Daniels and a few others stuck around at 12:15 AM after the show to continue signing stuff. Very generous.

You have to remember though, the guy was paid 10,000+ dollars. I would put on a happy face for 100+ pictures and autographs for that money. Hell, I would sign autographs and pictures for a week straight and give a 10 hour long speach for 10 grand plus. Here's an example, as Flair was getting out of the ring, he reached out his hand to shake hands and spiker shook his hand and I stuck mine out, he looked right at my hand and just walked away. I think he is pretty greedy to want 10 grand+ to come out, sign autographs, take pictures, and give a minute long sgive presents toch. Also, Sandman was very nice to me, signed 2 autographs and my family and I were able to get a picture with him and he didn't charge a cent and was very nice.

I have to agree with Styles on this one man the sandman was also very nice to me at every show i've seen him at. And no i didn't want chopped or locked in a figure four like i said me and the 5 people behind me didn't get as much as a smile all we heard was come back to my room and i'll let u wear my robe and my belt after the 8th time it gets old. You know you pay close to a hundred bucks to meet a legend then have to hear about how he wants some chick to come back to his room it's sad.

John I must have been behind you. All Flair did was talk about how he kept the girls pic so he has one of her now. I mean seriously does he not realize we just paid $75 to meet him. I don't care what Flair does outside of wrestling but when we pay to meet him he should at least look up and say hello. In all seriousness he soured me on his character and now I won't remember him for his matches I'l remember him for being a 60 yr old hitting on someone 40 yrs younger then himself in front of the girls parents. Don't even waste $10,000 bringing him back cause thats what it would be a waste.

I ran into him in the bathroom of all places. He was washing his hands before he went out to the signing. Was nice to me, said hello, shook my hand. I'm not too big on autographs and on top of it it was 65 dollars. Getting to shake his hand and to have him speak to me was well worth the price of a GA ticket. And everyone bitching about him not giving a long enough sgive presents toch, the show was already running over an hour late which is probaly why it was cut so short. People had negative things to say when it was announced he was coming, and i'm not suprised negative things are being said after the fact.
