I know what you mean... we should appreciate that he's still with us considering his amazing life. Most normal human beings would have died a long time ago. What a bad ass.
A very accurate depiction and both seemed immortal at times as we see ourselves aging and those 2 rocked their professions nearly longer than i have lived on this planet😅
@@kmole-rw6bi He is currently tracking your IP and has plans for your family and you to go on a trip to see some holes in the desert. Just an FYI warning from a concerned citizen.
Flair has lived a very full life. I’m sure he’s done damn near everything he’s ever wanted to do. Next to Andre & Hogan he was the most famous wrestler to walk the planet during the 70’s - 90’s. He had the key to the planet. Not a place he couldn’t do & not a place he wasn’t known & loved
He's speaking the truth about Roppongi in the 80's and 90's - shit was lit. And prices were super expensive, like he said. Drink your beers before heading out, take a couple in your pockets, buy one or two at the bar. Models everywhere, ready to go - so worth it. Nothing like it. When you have a dog like Flair laughing like Beavis after he reflects on the times spent there... finest available tail per square foot I have or ever will see.
I started watching pro wrestling about 1983-84 as a kid. One of the craziest matches I ever saw was a women's match in Japan with Madusa Miceli (US) vs. some big Japanese chick. If memory serves me right, they started it out as a boxing match, but then they started doing these pro wrestling style holds and moves. These two women beat the hell out of each other and were legitimately trying to hurt one another. Madusa Miceli has been around a long time, still a good-looking woman, and is a legit pro wrestling legend. That woman is tough as nails, too. That Japanese girl was a lot bigger than her (weight wise) and she looked tough as hell also.
@ToruKun1 I had to try and go find that match here on TH-cam after I made the original post. I couldn't find the one I was talking about but found another one with Madusa vs Aja Kahn that was every bit as wild as the one I was originally talking about. I am going to have to take your word on who the other woman is. Those chicks were beating the fuck out of eachother in both clips. I mean it was almost uncomfortable to watch lol.
I'm happy he got to live that kind of life. He's really a humble soul. You can tell. He appreciates all his life and still does. He old school like my dad
I would have never guessed Ric Flair was on Zanax, depressed and had insecurities. The Nature Boy was the biggest coolest ham in professional wrestling.
I remember Bill Burr talking about the 30 for 30 special on Ric Flair about how this guy ran away and rejected nothing and to see him prove that just makes it all the more funnier
I just want two things from this trend Joe is getting into. One, Joe needs to interview Rick Rubin again but ask him about pro wrestling instead, Joe apparently doesn't know that Rick, besides from doing his music, is a respected figure in the Pro Wrestling Industry. Two, i'd LOVE if Joe has Jim Cornette, even trough Videocall.
Having enjoyed Ric and his talent for flair growing up watching on television....and thinking about ol Ric in 1970s Japan, makes me pity the old survivors of the war. They surely thought things were about to get worse.
My friends dad reffed Flairs First match in 70 or 71. Had their address and phone numbers with many pics of the wrestlers back in the day! His dads name was Zack Murray.
Before this episode Flair had no idea who Tony is. After the episode Flair has no idea who Tony is. What an absolute embarrassment. Somebody tell Rogan Flair could have done without that nerd.
Tony is there because Joe doesn't know anything about wrestling. Tony is a super mark so makes sense. Also Tony is Joe's friend and probably a lifelong fan that Joe wanted to let him meet.
Seriously, hes easily the most annoying guest host Joe has on. And that weird look he gave Joe when Flair was talking about enjoying Japanese bath houses.. haha I bet him and Joe have lower test levels then Ric Flair combined.
As a Marine I was stationed at Iwakuni Japan 🇯🇵 in 1995 for one year....any men that are single....u must go to Japan....its a blast....its Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles all in one.....🎉
@@wildkats3809 Roppongi Snack Bars have gorgeous women working there. They are very friendly and always willing to chat and flirt with customers. Providing you can afford the table charge and their drinks, they will sit and chat, and flirt with you.
What ever happened to that bill burr video where he adds his own commentary to that match that turned into a shoot? Inoki vs the Great Farini or something like that
What is no one laughing with Ric when he’s talking about the bath houses? It’s like it got awkward- geez I’d be asking so many questions about that and the Shinjuku bath house district 😂
Joe sometimes sucks at his job. Rick, an incredibly durable and tough man talks about not being tough and that he can't hang with others and Joe doesn't dive into that? Huh?
Nobody partied like Ric Flair. It's a miracle that he's still with us.
I know what you mean... we should appreciate that he's still with us considering his amazing life. Most normal human beings would have died a long time ago. What a bad ass.
My brother worked in a rehab if Tampa that ric flair went too a couple times while my brother worked there
Tell that to Ozzy
@@jedibrigade1321 you're right
I see him all the time in Tampa. Great dude, seems too be always happy to meet his fans
Flair is one of the funniest and most entertaining figures in all of entertainment! Not just wrestling
My farts stink sometimes!
@@BlackenzieSmithe if you were Ric Flair, that'd be funny
Love Rick Flair. Wooooo
Ric Flair is the Ozzy Osborne of professional wrestling
A very accurate depiction and both seemed immortal at times as we see ourselves aging and those 2 rocked their professions nearly longer than i have lived on this planet😅
Great comparison
I agree with this statement 🤘 WOO
Ozzy Osbourne is the Ric flair of music
Nonsense, he doesn't mumble THAT much
I bet their are some little Ric Flair running around in Japan 🇯🇵 😂😂😂
Little 50 year old Ric Flairs lol
WOOOOO!
Okada The Rainmaker
Strutting and saying Wu!
exactly
Bro I swear when Joe has these veteran wrestlers on they make for the absolutel BEST podcasts. Flair and Jack the Snake podcasts are so good. 😂
Proud of Joe using shoot and work. He’s officially a mark.
Fr. Man went from making fun of wrestling and mocking it now he’s had so many legends as guests
Well Wrestling today is much different than it was in the 80’s 90’s
He watched Dick the Bruiser and old 70’s wrestlers as a kid. He knows enough about it to have a good conversation
@@D1Fring And now UFC owns WWE
@@curtiswilliams5223 no endeavor owns both
Ric Flair is such a cool dude.
Having a drink or a good smoke w natch is DEFINATELY on my bucket list....I'd be a flippin sponge just soaking up LEGENDARY stories...💯💯😁👍
Is it on your bucket list? Are you gonna make it happend ? 😁
You still in mommies basement?
@@kmole-rw6bi He is currently tracking your IP and has plans for your family and you to go on a trip to see some holes in the desert. Just an FYI warning from a concerned citizen.
I've been flipping sponge for years. It's almost as good as steaming cream or roasting nuts, maybe tossing Whoppers but more like patching carpet.
Ric flair: im not tough
Ric flairs liver: is that all you got?
That was one of the great episodes ever. Time flew by like whisle.
Like what??
Loved that he mentioned Jimbo Tsuruta, every wrestling fan needs to know who he is.
Joe rogan saying work then shoot. He’s learning ! Love it
Rick is such a national treasure
He's still alive?
his wrestling legacy maybe. But Ric as a person is just a sad drunk
I don’t care what people have to say about Ric he’s a cool mofo 😎
I'm currently stationed in Japan and when Ric Flair mentioned Roppongi and Shinjuki, I knew his story was legit.
It's still real to me DAMNIT!!
It’s crazy I’ve met Ric multiple times in NC as a child thru my father and I can honestly say I have the same vibe. Just a wild guy
As a fan of Japanese Wrestling, Jumbo Tsuruta being mentioned on Rogan is so fucking cool.
Ric lookin good for his age hopefully we will see him around for long time

And yet where does it all lead to?

I was a huge fan of Manami Toyota especially in her prime
Googled. Not a bad looking lady tbh. She’s a monster truck driver now.
If you're talking about a boxing match, that was Madusa vs. Aja Kong. Aja managed to do a shoot uraken, which is a damn miracle in itself.

I used to go see Ric Flair wrestle in Richmond Virginia in the late 70s !! It was incredible show
Me to Richmond coliseum
Inoki started MMA in Japan. Joe should know that.
He's seen the fight with Ali.
I just want two things from this trend Joe is getting into. One, Joe needs to interview Rick Rubin again but ask him about pro wrestling instead, Joe apparently doesn't know that Rick, besides from doing his music, is a respected figure in the Pro Wrestling Industry. Two, i'd LOVE if Joe has Jim Cornette, even trough Videocall.
Flair admitting his limitations at the end of this clip is the most transparent ive ever seen him in 40+ years of following his career
What a time in pro wrestling.
Love the cartoonish care free laugh he has
He laughs before he even tells the story because he could already picture it in his head. What a mischievous laugh WOOOOO!!
He laughs like the beaver from lady and the tramp
@1:34 .."Yeah it was $25 for a bag of coke, in Tokyo!".(Not bad😂)!
I thought he said Diet Coke haha
😂 diet coke but yeah, you're right!
@@becominghuman3561Yeah, Flair was talking about the drink. 😂
Joe Hogan referring to the Antonio Inoki vs Great Antonio match.
Flair is the Ozzy Osborne of wrestling.
Nature Boy. Saw him live in his prime cool dude.
Josh Should Invite Joe to One of His BLOODSPORT Events
No one talks about the Kumete
@@jimmye0077Sorry
I miss Roppongi
Ric just casually dropped being a state champion wrestler like it was nothing. I didn't even know that.
Exactly. That is super badass!!!
Having enjoyed Ric and his talent for flair growing up watching on television....and thinking about ol Ric in 1970s Japan, makes me pity the old survivors of the war. They surely thought things were about to get worse.
Shane Gillis on the thumbnail is the real clickbait😂😂😂😂
Yo... young Mr Fuji does kinda look like Shane
These two are perfect for Ric Flair to talk to. He can lie all he wants and they won’t know
Or care
Very true!
Asian guy looks like Shane Gillis in thumbnail
if shane has taught us anything its that there are no asians with downs syndrome so your comment doesnt make any sense..............😂
Ric Flair has more Stories than a Campfire
My friends dad reffed Flairs First match in 70 or 71. Had their address and phone numbers with many pics of the wrestlers back in the day! His dads name was Zack Murray.
3:10 "all thats gone now" yeeeah about that....
most of it is gone. it was crazy until about 1999
Rics laugh when describing Japanese Women
Before this episode Flair had no idea who Tony is. After the episode Flair has no idea who Tony is. What an absolute embarrassment. Somebody tell Rogan Flair could have done without that nerd.
Tony is there because Joe doesn't know anything about wrestling. Tony is a super mark so makes sense. Also Tony is Joe's friend and probably a lifelong fan that Joe wanted to let him meet.
Agreed! Could of done without Tony.
Tony is there for Joe to keep the convo going because Tony know a ton about wrestling and they're friends.
He had me dead when he asked what karaoke flair would sing in japan? Like boy if u don't get your lame a$$ out the conversation 😂 vibe killer
Seriously, hes easily the most annoying guest host Joe has on. And that weird look he gave Joe when Flair was talking about enjoying Japanese bath houses.. haha I bet him and Joe have lower test levels then Ric Flair combined.
He looks really healthy
So.....netflix.....can we get a show just chronicling the legend of flair? I wanna see this man party every episode
4:21 Joe knows the lingo
They call it strong style wrestling for a reason.
Who’s “they”?
New Japan is "strong style". Japan has many different "styles"
Flair in bubble era Japan! woooooo🔥
I wouldn’t mind stravos and nature boy interviewing eachother 😊
If VR ever gets to the point where it will get in my lifetime I would love to have a “Strange Days” experience as Ric Flair! Woooooo!
Japan has amazing women they are great lovers.
Inoki, Baba, Ric fuckin legends
I miss old WWF/WWE days....
As a Marine I was stationed at Iwakuni Japan 🇯🇵 in 1995 for one year....any men that are single....u must go to Japan....its a blast....its Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles all in one.....🎉

I wouldn’t have through the women in Japan would be interested in foreigners
@@BasedinReality1984 naw brother Japan is much better.....I've been to both
@@BasedinReality1984 you like lady boys? Goto thailand.😅
Am I the only one who would prefer tony not be on when Joe has wrestlers on the podcast
Thanks Joe for bringing up great stories with Slick Ric!
Shane Gillis be looking thick in the thumbnail pic 😂
ric flair is awesome
Come back. Rick. . PLEASE 🙏❤️
The people who know what asia was like in the 80's aren't talking. Just smiling
That looked like Shane Gillis in the thumbnail lol
Listening to this reminds me of that Hugh Hefner joke of Joes lol
How does Ric doesn't have a movie about his life?
I truly have no idea..that is long overdue!!!!
Because it would be XXX rated. WHOOOOOOOOOOO.
Not gonna lie. Joe using the words work and shoot when he was talking about wrestling caught me off guard. Lol
King Kong Bruiser Brody ..and Stan Hansen Legit Tough ....making huge coin in the 80's
Hell, in the mid 90's Americans weren't allowed in some places in Okinawa. I know ,I was there 2 years while in the Marines.
He’s right Right Roppongi is so fuckin lit!!!!!
Flair's mentioned that a beer costs $100 at Roppongi, those were snack bars. In essence, Shinjuku is a red light district in Tokyo.
Why are they 100 a beer ?
@@wildkats3809 Roppongi Snack Bars have gorgeous women working there.
They are very friendly and always willing to chat and flirt with customers.
Providing you can afford the table charge and their drinks, they will sit and chat, and flirt with you.
Wait tony is on the show too? Gesz I wish it was just flair.
He's the man. Elvis then ric
2 things were pinned , flairs eyes and the throttle on the Jim beam.
What ever happened to that bill burr video where he adds his own commentary to that match that turned into a shoot? Inoki vs the Great Farini or something like that
Finally on JRE
3:17 Joe’s De Niro impersonation
Thats a shoot, brother
“A lot went down between us…”
As Chrissy D says, “we turned your country into a bento box!”
Ric Flair one of most famous and successful wrestlers. Yet doesn't have a body like Hulk. Triple H.
Hell of a man & story, "wrestling" aside.
Flair and Jumbo had some battles
Legendary
All about Space Mountain whooooooooo
100 bucks a beer in the 70’s and 80’s? Woah
What a legend
Ric flair is the best entertainer in wrestling
@1:34 “Hell, it’s twenty five dollars for a bag of coke!”
J/K 🤞
He enjoyed life!
What is no one laughing with Ric when he’s talking about the bath houses? It’s like it got awkward- geez I’d be asking so many questions about that and the Shinjuku bath house district 😂
you can tell he didnt want to go any further on that topic. you know what went down.
Ric Flair is the coolest person on esrth
rec-flair "my hero"!wooh♤
My former office was in Roppongi. Preach it, Ric. See you at Ribera Steakhouse.
Joe sometimes sucks at his job. Rick, an incredibly durable and tough man talks about not being tough and that he can't hang with others and Joe doesn't dive into that? Huh?
Joe never sucks at his job, ridiculous comment.
The shit that Flair's done in his life.. he'll be giggling like that right until he dies.
Love the Woooooo
The thumbnail has shane gillis😂
Legend
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
