Chris, you should have started with the classic woooooo off! Ric would've took the blazer off, dropped an elbow, told some "fat chick" in the hallway to climb space mountain lol.......he did say 2024 lol
Call me horrible, but I understand Flair, especially when he said in the 80's that "You must be born Champion, you need to have it inside, you have to live it, breath it, and be ready to die for it".
This was such a phenomenal interview, Chris. I'm glad you're seeing so much success, because your interviews always bring out the best in people when it comes to their answers and insight into the business.
the us shameless is nothing but a cheap pale imitation of the real original shameless, and to think shameless us was once nominated for an award called the most original tv show, it was literally copied scene for scene from the original.
Flair is amazing. The GOAT and I love him. He seems so much at peace now and that’s awesome. He deserves it after all he’s given us through the decades.
@@andrewft31 Not Austin, I think he would've wrestled well into his 40s if he wasn't so banged up but I don't think he would want to go too long. I don't count his so-called match against Kevin Owens, it was fun and great to see him.
The section about TNA took a serious turn of reflection for Flair. You see it in his face. Chris, you did a great job at navigating that segment and pivoting him away. Really shows you are in tune with your guests. Great interview skills!
33:05 that’s a proud daddy right there 🤣🥰 & with losing my dad not that long ago, it just warms my heart and makes me smile that he’s just complementing her to the moon 😊
I agree. My father has been gone a few years now. So, anyone who still has their father should appreciate the time they still get. Oh course if the father was good.
One thing is for sure, CVV is so damned good at his job! After watching/listening to Chris's vids, the majority of these wrestler podcats just sound SOOOO minor league. I know a lot of people hate Conrad - I don't - but Conrad could learn a few things about interviewing from CVV. He has the perfect balance of participation and listening.
I appreciate you showing up sober Ric. It's a lot nicer to remember you this way as a real champ. it says a lot of about you Chris and how much he respects your show Wooooooooooooo😂
Ric always wants one more match, and we wanted his last match to be 20 years ago. Dont let anyone make fun of someone for donating time around him though...
Chris you seamlessly and gracefully in a respectable manner handled that moment at 5:17 when you are talking to someone you idolize and respect is trying to think of something you could not know the answer to. And in front of the camera too, sometimes we as humans sometimes BS the person just to move along and you didn't do that with Ric. I appreciate that bro, must be the Canadian in you eh? :D
Thank you both Rick& Chris for this awsome moment in interview history I loved being the perverbial fly on the wall getting to view this thank you both wooooo
You know what, let him wrestle, but don't mourn or shed a tear for him if he drops dead in the ring, I'm not wishing that on him at all but it might be the only way he finally calls it a day, each time he make it through a match at his age it makes him more determined to get that "one more match"
chris your doing a great job with all these good interviews your killing it bro keep it up i enjoyed this interview with ric one of the greatest to ever do it :)
Keep up all the hard work and dedication !! Just want to say I bought a suana blanket last week good decision thank you cvv ur the best on TH-cam keep it up
I've always said that Ric's chops are akin to those in Japanese Puroresu. He REALLY lays into his chops and your chest will welt up. If you've ever seen Kenta Kobashi, Tenryu, or Go Shiozaki's chops you'll know what i mean. That is how Ric chops and to me that's how they are supposed to be given.
I love hearing Ric laugh! Thank you Ric for everything you've done for our business man! I just wanna pay respect while your still alive.....I don't wanna see the day, I'm not saying that, but so many times people do all this after someone passes! Just doing it while he's still here!
would love for you to have a long form wrestling interview with Rock, have you actually discussed this with his team recently? I'm pretty sure he would be at least OPEN to it happening one day...
As a fan, it was clear when Flair was being buried by Jim Herd and Bischoff. That is why that 1992 Royal Rumble was so special. Flair mentioned (with a tear in his eye!) that this was the greatest day in his life and it was for many fans as well to see him get the respect he deserved.
I've seen many Ric Flair interviews. Ric seems to get irritated by interviewers questions at times. You do a great job of not doing that and I see Ric Flair respects you.
Bro!!! Hogan then Ric Flair.. your on 🔥fire brutha!! you gonna pull a hat trick and get The Rock or Stone Cold next 🤗... Awesome job CVV Legendary!! love it.. Just 2 Sweeeeet ... 🤙😎🤘
Hey Chris, Awesome Interview! On a roll, man. I was wondering if you can get an interview with Kim Orton. I think we all would love to get a detailed update on Randy's recovery.
Might sound weird but RF has answered so many questions to the point I want to hear stories of random hookups on the road with details but not too much detail.
To Chris: The Best wrestling Interview since Dave Meltzer in his prime (not that he ever did, but WAY better way to find news out during an interview than a newsletter) To Ric: You don't to criticize guys like Mick Foley for killing the business and himself at times, when you're trying to wrestle TODAY. I don't wanna see Jeff Hardy die in a wrestling ring (or from his demons), nor do I you. I'm sorry you're not enjoying retirement, I hope you have a better time after this interview or whatever else you choose to do that isn't a wrestling ring.
Haven’t watched Chris in awhile going back through the last 4 months as someone who is struggling with alcohol after a bad breakup I completely get rics issue but I still envy him that he needs to stop after heart surgery 3 times to drink is crazy especially at this age. I haven’t meant or seen anyone who has put down as much liquor as I have in the last year. So maybe I’m a hypocrite but from one addict to another I wish Ric all the best and the best help he can get whether it comes from within or some external force. (When I mean I struggle I struggle, I’m drunk rn)
In July 2022 I had emergency surgery that lasted 10 hours, yes 10 hours. Like Ric I have no memory of roughly 4-6 months prior to July 17th 2022. I can't explain it just like Ric can't, it's like the 6 months leading up to July 17 2022 never happened. I dont remember meeting the doctors, I dont remember going to the hospital, I didnt understand how my family knew I was having surgery etc etc. We had gotten a new car in April 2022 and my wife said my mother is gonna pick me up from the hospital and take me home and I asked my wife "I dont know what car we have, what car is she picking me up in?" I was in the ICU for 10 days and in the hospital for 29. Its so weird having a chunk of your life missing. I met 2 ppl in those 6 months and they called me and I had no clue who they were, it was so weird.
Ric please, there's more to life than pro wrestling. You've done more than enough. Please just enjoy the rest of your time in peace, remembering EVERYTHING you have accomplished, that you have lived a fulfilling life.

You should really think about getting mic stands. It would really help with your product.

Love It ChrisVanVliet Bro Wooooooooooooooooo.
Chris is killing the game
Thanks Doc! Just trying to keep up with you!
@@ChrisVanVlietwhen are you going to get an adjustment from the doc
Nooo don't kill Triple H, Chris 😳
@@ChrisVanVliet Ric the man
Chris is on final boss status now with all of these great wrestlers as guests man keep them coming
"Final boss status"? 🤦🏻
This is not even Chris’ Final Form. 👀
Has he gotten Vince McMahon yet? The boss interviewer interviewing the boss would be amazing
@@PricefieldPunkVince isn’t going to do any interviews, as he wants to avoid people calling him out on his bullshit.
@@Ted_ShecklerYour name is "Ted Sheckler." You have no room to comment.
Amazing that he is still so sharp cognitively
Ric Flair at 100: "I just feel like I have more in the tank"
That tank holds a lot of liquor.
That's a good thing
Dear god please don't let this man wrestle again. I do not wanna see a man die in the ring.
I agree, Ric was blown up doing a tag team match and now he's over a year older. Doesn't Ric have a pacemaker?
One more match! Two bumps and carry him out on stretcher.
I don’t think Ric minds dying in a match, doing what he loves.
Call me horrible, but I understand Flair, especially when he said in the 80's that "You must be born Champion, you need to have it inside, you have to live it, breath it, and be ready to die for it".
After he has that plane accident he declared he would never retire, he has stuck to that
CVV is killin' it with these interviews lately! LEGENDARY!
Hogan and Flair back to back, Chris is on his grind
He was in Tampa lol
Both Hogan and Flair have been on a podcast run as of late, starting with the great Theo Von
Two of the all time racist wrestling greats back to back
AND Maven. In the Florida area too! Wooooo!
I still think they missed a good opportunity not putting Hogan and Flair on a reality show living together
Ric Flair going to TNA gave us Jay Letal's impression of him and thats something to be thankful for when he went to TNA
This was such a phenomenal interview, Chris. I'm glad you're seeing so much success, because your interviews always bring out the best in people when it comes to their answers and insight into the business.
Flair was talking about Shameless. It's based in Chicago around a dysfunctional family where the daughter kind of raises all the kids.
There you go.... my first thought like Chris was Married with Children
i was screaming at my phone lol thank you
Yep
Waking up to new CVV interviews is one of my lifes great joys
🙏😁
Chris greatest aspect is making guest feel comfortable and talk as along as they want
Amazing!!
It's a list skill nowadays. Just let the guest talk and steer them in a direction now and then.
Chris and Renee.
I love both of their interviews, it's literally hanging out with friends and shooting the shit.
Canada definitely represent 🇨🇦
This has to be one of my favorite Flair interviews. Thank you Chris for making this happen 🙏
I just can’t imagine Ric watching Shameless.
the us shameless is nothing but a cheap pale imitation of the real original shameless, and to think shameless us was once nominated for an award called the most original tv show, it was literally copied scene for scene from the original.
For real😂 heard him describing the show and was like nahhh
@@kevmccormick1767the point is thats the show he’s thinking of, regardless of your opinion
Jesus @kevmccormick1767 he was just stating that he was referring to Shameless. Nobody cares what version you think is better. Get a grip
Listening to him describe it the whole time I was yelling at my screen hoping he would figure it out
Love these long form sit-downs, Chris. Just finished watching the Hulk vid, and straight into this one. Keep em coming bud! 🔥
Thank you sir!
Funny I did exactly the same thing. From Born Again Mania to Ric Flair the legend
Flair is amazing. The GOAT and I love him. He seems so much at peace now and that’s awesome. He deserves it after all he’s given us through the decades.
Alcoholic at peace... right.
I’m sure the women he’s preyed on feel the same way.
@@MyChannel-ol1zzOr the “friends” he habitually talks shit about for not kissing his ass.
I love Ric Flair, glad he is doing good. He always brings a smile to my face!
The fact that his close circle was waiting for him to check out so they can cash out is wild. You really have to watch who's around you.
Please...someone stop this man from wrestling again.
He's a wrestling treasure. Protect him.
A few bumps wont kill the man
Maybe
@@veganpenguin9857 dude, seriously, look at him. He looks like if I hit him with a pillow he will die.
He's a grown man he doesn't need you to protect him you creep
....you sure ?
It must be so much fun to be friends with Ric Flair, his entire presence is just so uplifting
It's genuinely depressing to see Ric so desperately want to wrestle again. He's addicted.
They all are, do you really think if Hogan or Austin could still go that they wouldn’t? It is part of who they are.
Who wouldn't be.
The roar of the crowd chanting your name. It's a hard drug to let go of.
Good thing Bautista isn't this way. He always knew he didn't wanna wrestle past 50. And he lived by his word.
@@andrewft31LMFAO Hogan and Austin would do it to get paid not because they love wrestling ya fkin mark.
@@andrewft31 Not Austin, I think he would've wrestled well into his 40s if he wasn't so banged up but I don't think he would want to go too long. I don't count his so-called match against Kevin Owens, it was fun and great to see him.
The section about TNA took a serious turn of reflection for Flair. You see it in his face. Chris, you did a great job at navigating that segment and pivoting him away. Really shows you are in tune with your guests. Great interview skills!
I love these interviews chris! You think we could get a John Cena interview before he goes back to hollywood?
I'm trying to make that happen!
@ChrisVanVliet if it happens you need to ask about the London MITB crowd! It was electric!
33:05 that’s a proud daddy right there 🤣🥰 & with losing my dad not that long ago, it just warms my heart and makes me smile that he’s just complementing her to the moon 😊
I agree. My father has been gone a few years now. So, anyone who still has their father should appreciate the time they still get. Oh course if the father was good.

Keeps getting better and better keep up the work brother
CVV does a great job. Love listening to these interviews.

@@jcvelez915im still watching but I would be shocked if they talk about it
Way to go Chris keep smashing them interviews man great to interview Ric Flair and the Hulkamania just great.

Great show.
lol hilarious that as soon as Ric started talking about the Mcdonald's "woo" ad i got that ad right away on this video!
Ric Flair doesn't need a last match

@@kevmccormick1767because of Hogan’s finisher, he took the brunt of the bump on his hip, tailbone and spine, he always protected his opponent.

Ric should revive the ancient art of being a manager.. The new 'Brain'. No bumps, all wresting psychology....
The drop off in use of managers definitely added to the loss of interest in wrestling. WWE decided it was too carny.
Chris, your question at 1:05:11 was profound. Excellent.
Diamonds are forever and so is Ric Flair u r the Johny Carson of professional wrestling keep on going with the great work
Another great interview Chris killing it
As a 51 yr old who has seen 'numerous' Ric Flair interviews...this was the GOAT!

what up chris love the channel keep it up homie
Chris is such a great interviewer! Many many successes !!!🎉
He's still got that charm at his age. Man Ric has got some really good stories
Man is nearly 75,
The man has decades of stories 😁
@@Qtipz123 the difference is when you hear people like Hogan it sounds really farfetched, but when Flair tells a story it sounds a legit thing

That would be cool
The Show Ric is Talking About Is SHAMELESS
Hey Chris, Awesome Interview! On a roll, man. I was wondering if you can get an interview with Kim Orton. I think we all would love to get a detailed update on Randy's recovery.
Might sound weird but RF has answered so many questions to the point I want to hear stories of random hookups on the road with details but not too much detail.

Ric Flair was talking about the show SHAMELESS which was on Showtime.
How you didn't know Shameless off rip. Excellent show
I think the show that Ric is trying to remember about taking place in Chicago is Shameless.
Absolute Legend!
The best part is how he gave you some flowers back at the end
