...I got a call from Elijah right before he came out...damn am I glad he called...anyone else had tears while watchin' it...one of the greatest wrestlin' entertainers of all time...I'm glad I'm old enough to have enjoyed him when he was in his heyday....
"Wooo" Tate

After the show went off the air, everyone stayed out. Undertaker, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and John Laurinaitis all came out. Undertaker came out and everybody parted to let him to the ring and he bowed to Flair doing his old urn pose. When Flair walked out of the ring, they parted. The whole place was chanting "Thank you Ric."

I haven't watched Raw yet, looks like I'll have to catch it later today. I did cry at the end of the match WM so this probably won't be any different. Most people will I reckon

Finally got round to seeing it.
Had a lump in my throat all the way through. There'll never be another Flair.

I caught it on youtube. Definitely felt a tugging at the heartstrings during that.
Didn't see Steph or Laurinitis though.

They came out afterwards along with Vince and Taker. There's fan footage of that.

Yeh, I saw that bit, but only saw Taker then Vince  I wonder why Laurinaitis came out after the roster instead of with them. It's not like he's respected enough to get the Taker or Vince treatment. |

Maybe Steph's too pregnant to appear... who knows...
I don't know why Taker was seperate, I can understand Vince for kayfabe reasons but Taker? Hmmm...

Probably because next to Flair, Taker's the most respected in the locker room. It's no secret these days.

plus Taker is one of the few guys that doesn't like to break kayfabe...that is a long documented fact and a BIG reason he is so well-respected...as far as Ace (Laurinaitis) it's because he's the head writer and is far far removed from bein' "one of the boys" anymore...

Very true. I have never seen him break character. Ace is just a cock, quite a few wrestlers can't stand him. Just goes to show that just because you're related to someone who's well known doesn't mean you'll get respect on those ties alone. Right, Chavo? |
