"You’re talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing, wheelin dealin, limosuine riding, jet flying... son of a gun and I’m having a hard time holding these alligators down!"
That moment allowing him to pause when talking about his son is so powerful. Production and hosts .....this team is allowing us to have a real experience with these guests 💯💯
'We all have children." Asking that question about Ric's son and giving him the space to open up, was so therapeutic for a parent who lost a child. Sometimes, you just want to be vulnerable and speak about his loss without wearing a mask. Well done, Pivoters.
@@koshyjeffrey57 Hi Jeffrey, Has she recovered fully or does her GBS still linger? God bless you and that beautiful youngster. She is a fighter! Let her know there are those around the world that support her journey. 🥰
Lost my son 5 years ago at 38 years old. He was the biggest Flair fan on the planet...space mountain, Minnesota Wrecking Crew Nature Boy! Between Flair & Stone Cold Steve Austin, I hated wrestling, that's a mom's heart. Props to Nature Boy, pain is pain in a parents heart, sorry for your heart ache, it's real. My son would have loved to been on your team, wrestling was his passion.
Ryan Clark was a stud on the field but he is a damn superstar at this tv thing. Channing is pure comedian and awesome. Fred is like that smooth Uncle that soon as he speaks everyone stops and listens for the wisdom lol!! Perfect trio.
This is beautiful, Ric Flair is on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling and you can see the respect that the fellas have for him! Im so glad he's still here to tell these stories!
Guys, seriously, this is one of the best shows on the internet. The simple act of sharing and opening up yields so much impact. Every guest really gets the chance to be themselves, and thanks to you all, we get to see them, too.
@@Dreamgirl__1 it's just jokes bro calm down. And it was funny too, if only the other greats were still around to get these flowers. Macho, Dusty, Hawk, Eddie, me personally they impacted me as much as Natche did.
It's not Ryan who brings in the guest, a guy name John, who runs the full send podcast is also apart of this pod... thats why their sponsoring happy dad. That's the nelk boys stuff. That guy John is well connected. Like Floyd and a whole bunch of people in the industry
@@BodyByRich thanks for that info, I just watch and assumed that since Ryan had a bigger name that he was the one with the connections to get the big name Guest on.
Fred and Channing have their roles. Ryan of course in like the point man. Fred and Channing depending on the guest and the flow of the show, can quarterback it as well…imo
I’m gonna drop my man card right here on the table. I cried like a baby during this for so many reason. Mortality and legacy are so forgotten while we move daily but so drilled in focused on when tested. I wish I could see that embrace of he and his son on that beautiful day in heaven. 🥲
I have been begging All the Smoke to bring Ric Flair on for 2 years now. The Pivot just landed an elite interview with elite story telling. And nobody partied harder that The Nature Boy!
The smile on Rick's face talking about getting women with Andre the giant after tearing up about his son was amazing. Everyone has their dark times, but never forget the good times. Everything balances out.
@B-Smoove I don't mean the whole comment should have worded it different I like the last part of the comment where he says everyone has dark times but never forget the good times everything balances out I just lost someone close to me that's y I like the last part of this comment
its crazy how as men when we age we open up and become more vulnerable. i see my dad so open now at 70 than he was at 40. that man would barely say 2 words now he goes on talking about his childhood, his time in vietnam, and my brother who passed
Real talk sir....I myself has always been tough/ cold when it came to my kids....now I can't stop talking and teaching them....with tears running down my face about life....it feels like I have so much to say.....my daughter hugged me the other day and said Daddy I never seen you cry and I Love You....tore me up....that's why thus show was so powerful to me
Yoooooooooo , Ric was just as excited to see Ryan as he was him !!!!!! That’s so dope, you can tell he genuinely likes him as a person just from what he sees on TV. That speaks volumes. 💪🏾💯 Woooooooo
I'm in tears man of what Rick Flair is talking about his life and when they wrote him off. Life is valuable live every moment of your life to the fullest and your best ability. This is what we need to hear!
Pivot gives us all something to share - even something as deep a loss such as yours. Sharing is what makes us most human, and I’m glad we are here at the pivot with you.
There was no one on TV that had more confidence that this man while I was growing up.... "To be the man... You got to beat the man.... Wooooo!" Now that's a life lesson.
Can’t tell y’all hope much joy this podcast brings to my week. Y’all kill each and every week with your guest and the convos that are had. Y’all keep getting better and better and do not disappoint. Keep doing y’all’s thing 🙏🏽 much love and appreciation.
One of my childhood legends. Ric was really about that life way back then. Man one the realest interviews, the guilt, the sacrifices and overcoming that trauma. Living legend thank you for giving the man his well deserved flowers.
This interview was so nostalgic for me as I used to watch Ric Flair with my great grandfather who was paralyzed when I was just 5 years old...I remembered Nature Boy wrestling Sting and Dusty Rhodes. The jewelry, rob and feathers WOOOOOOO
My sister had a massive stroke at age 36 due to Heroin overdose. Doctors said she had a 20% chance to making it. She was placed in a nursing home for a year and now she’s home. She can’t talk or walk good, but is here and alive to this day. She’s a walking miracle. God is real. He had her back that day. 💯
My worst fear in life is having to bury one of my kids. I felt his pain in that moment. Stay safe y’all, hug your kids, cherish your time with your loved ones
@@Tacconi757 thank you. My sincere prayer is that you never have that experience. My son drowned when he was 7 years old. It was our very first vacation. July will be 27 years. Sometimes it feels like it just happened.
Damn. I'm 41, been a fan of Ric's and wrestling for some time now but never knew his son passed. My condolences to him and his family. I too have overdosed twice and since then and jail been away from drugs. I never knew the hurt I put on everyone around me until it was all over. If you know someone who needs help or just someone to talk too and they're willing to want to get better Be A Friend And Tell A Friend. We're all in this together. Peace ✌
When I logged on to TH-cam and saw Rick Flair on the Pivot thumbnail I almost passed out. Then I got goosebumps and all of this happened before I even clicked on the video. I am 51 years old and when I tell you Rick Flair is as big as it gets believe me. Put me in room with Ali, Jordan and Rick and I promise you the amount of respect I have for each of them will be equal.
Brothers, I love this podcast! And you brought my man Ric Flair on, tears came to my eyes remembering waiting for him to come into the studio at WRAL-TV Raleigh NC. My mom took me to the shows every tuesday for a while. I got Ric's autograph one day, he stopped and talked to me and my mom. Ric was and still is the "Man", he wore the clothes and the jewelry. He was so much to us kids!! We owe him so much.
@@frankystrings ok so u said sum Fa no reason then🤣🤣. My point was they know each other well already which is why Ric was just talkin to rc during the intro🤣
Ric flair was Royalty how he came out with them capes. He was a rock star. James Brown, Jimmy Hendricks, Prince, Micheal Jackson, Richard Pryor. He'll, he embodied every one we looked at. Had me all with my bed sheets off the bed saying my Dam Name. With the theme song Dong, Dong Dong, coming to the stage. MOMMA"YOU BETTER CUT THAT BLANK OUT". LOVE IT. MR. FLAIR. CONDOLENCES FOR YOUR SON. I REMEMBER THAT DAY AND IT WAS PART OF ME ALSO. YOU HAVE BEEN IN MY THOUGHTS. LOVE YOU.
RC, Fred and Channing, thank you gentlemen. You guys are producing something totally different than I think we have seen before, especially for athletes. Your interviews are a fresh and you each bring something perspective to the table. Great job, keep up the good work!
You can tell this was an interview that Channing had circled on his calendar with his school clothes ironed and laid on the bed ready for 😂😂😂 Great podcast
Every time I watch this podcast, I think, it can't be better. But I'll be damned, these podcasts keep getting better. Man, I don't have a particular love for Rick Flair, but you know what? I do now. There's so much content online these days but these dudes...shiiiiiiiit. I love them. I hope y'all know, these podcasts are so important. So lovely. So real. Thank you, gentlemen. I love the hell outta y'all.
My dad turned 70 this year, and now more than ever his mortality is real for me. It's like now it's real that he won't always be here for and with me, and man it puts a lump in my throat dawg... Idk what ima do when they day comes that he isn't around anymore. He's all I got. Fuck... This interview was awesome. Nature Boy for President.
This is one of my favorite podcast on TH-cam right now. Hands down some of the best interviewers out there right now. A Ric Flair interview wow talk about taking me back to my childhood. Thanks 🙏🏼 guys!!!
When rick talk about his son i felt his pain. I lost my son 14 year's ago and it still hurts till this day Losing a child isn't easy. But god has bless me with 2 wonderful kids and god has help me heal from it but i still miss my first born.
From the laughter, to tears, to nodding in agreement, back to laughing again... Yeah this was an amazing interview. Ric is as real as it gets and a good human down to his core.
At the end when Flair said "I'm having a hard time keeping these alligators down" I couldn't help but laugh and smile. I was probably the biggest fan ever as a kid. He's been through a lot but he kept pushing through. When I look at Charlotte follow in his steps and come out and make her ring entrance it almost brings tears to my eyes. I'm proud for Rick and her.
The content u guys continue to give us is life changing. I've been waiting all my adult life for my dad to say what Rick said about his time being a father. I wish he was man enough to be honest to those who love him in regards to his short comings and lack of accountability when it came to us. It's sad that it takes facing mortality to be honest, like those who love you don't deserve the respect of explanations either. I will send this to him, cuz I never give up hope that things will turn around. Thank you guys and thanks to the Nature Boy...
There's no1 more famous in the world than Ric Flair because he is still a Icon to the new generation as we speak and theses new cats r making songs about this man because he's apart of the culture b4 my culture in the late 80's and 90's and he is still a Icon to the millennial kids today so he will never be forgotten and it would be a sad day if he was to leave us....Love u Ric
"I think about him everyday." In such an emotional topic, he was able to deliver his thoughts with cadence but I felt the absolute PAIN in his voice when he said that. S/O Ric for carrying on and not allowing himself to be so turned out by the loss. It's great to see men of his stature be vulnerable when speaking about such a difficult topic.
Can I get two claps and a Ric Flare?!? I remember seeing Ric Flare wrestle back in 1987 at the Sunrise Performing Center. I’ve loved him since I was 5 and still love him as a 43 year old.🥺
This was MAGNIFICENT! Got me excited, emotional and satisfied all in one sitting! Best episode yet! Ric was my childhood, I'm an NWA/WCW kid (where I first discovered him, well before the WWF/E days). I had no idea he was dealing with so many challenges outside of the ring, great interview!
"You’re talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing, wheelin dealin, limosuine riding, jet flying... son of a gun and I’m having a hard time holding these alligators down!"
WOOOOOOO
Wooooooooooooooooo!
You might not like it but you're gonna learn to love it!! Whhooooo!!
Wooooo
Ric was about that life way back then.
Ric Flair was happier to see RC than anything else. This is probably the best reaction RC ever got from any human being, and RC got a wife and kids. 🤣
You see em... said we got to exchange number's... when ric say that I start struting

It hurt, definitely hurt when I heard him say those words
I lost it there
Me too!

There's so much content online these days but these dudes...shiiiiiiiit. I love them. I hope y'all know, these podcasts are so important. So lovely. So real. Thank you, gentlemen. I love the hell outta y'all.
My dad turned 70 this year, and now more than ever his mortality is real for me. It's like now it's real that he won't always be here for and with me, and man it puts a lump in my throat dawg...
Idk what ima do when they day comes that he isn't around anymore. He's all I got. Fuck...
This interview was awesome. Nature Boy for President.
Ryan does such a great job guiding these interviews. He asks great questions, dude is smart as hell.
This is one of my favorite podcast on TH-cam right now. Hands down some of the best interviewers out there right now. A Ric Flair interview wow talk about taking me back to my childhood. Thanks 🙏🏼 guys!!!
this and mike tyson hotboxing for sure.
My Dawgs yall is UNDEFEATED !!! Right now
You aint a child of the 80's or 90's if you don't rock with Rick Flair! Woo!
This is cool asl to see rich flair in true form, I wanna be this cool when I’m 73😎
When rick talk about his son i felt his pain. I lost my son 14 year's ago and it still hurts till this day Losing a child isn't easy. But god has bless me with 2 wonderful kids and god has help me heal from it but i still miss my first born.
This podcast is everything! Love the tough question asked about Rick's son and his pause. It gripped my soul.
Much love to the Pivot podcast ✊🏿
Channing about to activate his inner nature boy 😂
lol lol facts
From the laughter, to tears, to nodding in agreement, back to laughing again... Yeah this was an amazing interview. Ric is as real as it gets and a good human down to his core.
This is the PODCAST OUT HERE!
One of the absolute best interviews to date!! RC, Fred, Chan are the greatest podcasters ever. All 3 are consummate professionals.
I concur...and what's best is each personality is uniquely different from the other but compliments one another so well!
Him talking about his som really touched me. This is such a great show y’all, btw Channing is always so funny 😂
On point again guys ....Ps I just saw three grown men turn into lil kids again !!
Best Pivot episode ever!! Grew up off Ric Flair!! Da Nature Boy!! 🗣️WOOOOOOO!!! The 🐐 of wresting!! 🫡💯💪
At the end when Flair said "I'm having a hard time keeping these alligators down" I couldn't help but laugh and smile. I was probably the biggest fan ever as a kid. He's been through a lot but he kept pushing through. When I look at Charlotte follow in his steps and come out and make her ring entrance it almost brings tears to my eyes. I'm proud for Rick and her.
I grew up watching Rick Flair! Good to see he's still around and doing his thing. Great episode Fred,Channing and Ryan!
Human. Damn. That son story was tough. Pivot is HEAT
The content u guys continue to give us is life changing. I've been waiting all my adult life for my dad to say what Rick said about his time being a father. I wish he was man enough to be honest to those who love him in regards to his short comings and lack of accountability when it came to us. It's sad that it takes facing mortality to be honest, like those who love you don't deserve the respect of explanations either. I will send this to him, cuz I never give up hope that things will turn around. Thank you guys and thanks to the Nature Boy...
Are you from Fort Worth bro? I see the 817 in your name lol so thought I’ll ask
There's no1 more famous in the world than Ric Flair because he is still a Icon to the new generation as we speak and theses new cats r making songs about this man because he's apart of the culture b4 my culture in the late 80's and 90's and he is still a Icon to the millennial kids today so he will never be forgotten and it would be a sad day if he was to leave us....Love u Ric
"I think about him everyday."
In such an emotional topic, he was able to deliver his thoughts with cadence but I felt the absolute PAIN in his voice when he said that.
S/O Ric for carrying on and not allowing himself to be so turned out by the loss. It's great to see men of his stature be vulnerable when speaking about such a difficult topic.
I knew the pivot was going to be a good podcast..but damn it's great!! My favorite podcast to watch..
Can I get two claps and a Ric Flare?!?
I remember seeing Ric Flare wrestle back in 1987 at the Sunrise Performing Center. I’ve loved him since I was 5 and still love him as a 43 year old.🥺
When Ric was speaking about his deceased son I couldnt hold back my tears, father to a father that was sad
This is best one yet to have the legend and GOAT of professional wrestling up here! Whooooo!
Hey Rick it's true we love u man u gave us so much I am honored to be a part of this generation
You guys have definitely took it to a new level!! This interview was a joy to watch! Woooooooooooooooooooo!
This was MAGNIFICENT! Got me excited, emotional and satisfied all in one sitting! Best episode yet! Ric was my childhood, I'm an NWA/WCW kid (where I first discovered him, well before the WWF/E days). I had no idea he was dealing with so many challenges outside of the ring, great interview!
