Mr Perfect vs Ric Flair
Retirement Match

Flair wins a Collar and Elbow Tie-up when he pushes Perfect into the corner but Perfect slaps him in the face. Flair pushesPerfect so Perfect slaps him again. Another Collar and Elbow ends with Flair putting Perfect in a Headlock but Perfect pushes him off the ropes and is knocked down by a Flair Shoulder Block. Flair shoots of the ropes again but Perfect takes him down with a Drop Toe Hold and Slaps Flair in the face again as he gets to his feet. Flair rolls to the outside for a breather where Bobby Heenan offers him a hammer. In the ring, Flair turns a Collar and Elbow into a HAMMERlock which Perfect turns into one of his own. Flair takes Perfect down with a Drop Toe Hold and a front Facelock but Perfect turns that into another Hammerlock. Flair gets himself out of that by backing Perfect into the corner and hitting him with a Back Elbow to the skull and a Chop (woo). Perfect turns Flair around and lights him up with a series of his own chops which lead to a Flair Flop. From a Collar and Elbow, Flair takes Perfect to the canvas with a Headlock but Perfect grabs Flair’s head with his legs and takes him down. Back to their feet and Flair knees Perfect in the gut and throws him into the corner where he chops Perfect (woo) and punches him. Again Perfect turns it around, again he chops Flair but this time he peppers Flair with Left Jabs that keep knocking Flair down. Flair jabs Perfect with a thumb to the eye before throwing him over the top rope to the outside of the ring. On the outside, Flair grabs a chair to hit Perfect with but the referee leaps at Flair and takes the chair from his hands.

Back from the ads andFlair thwars a Sunset Flip attempt with a punch to the face and an Irish Whip that sends Perfect over and out to the ringside mats again. Perfect is bleeding. Flair drags Perfect back into the ring and punches the cut in his head before Irish Whipping Perfect so hard into the corner that he spins out and lands on the canvas. It gets Flair a two count. Flair complains to the referee while Bane-choking Perfect with his shin. Flair and Perffect exchange punches and chops (woo) before Perfect Irish Whips Flair into the corner and catches him with a Right Hand as he comes out of the corner and a Roll Up that gets a two count. Flair whips Perfect off the ropes but Perfect counters a Hip Toss attempt with a Backslide that eventually gets a two count. Perfect hits Flair with an Irish Whip and a huge Back Drop. Flair begs off and backs up into the corner until Perfect grabs his ankles and slams him, back first, onto the canvas. Perfect hits Flair with five out of ten punches in the corner before Flair hits him with an Inverted Atomic Drop and a School Boy for a two count. Flair rolls to the outside but Perfect grabs him and Suplexes him back into the ring for a two. Flair catches Perfect with a Sleeper Hold things that slows things down but Perfect’s arm only goes down twice. Perfect fights his way back to his feet before he pulls Flair into the turnbuckle to break the hold. Perfect sends Flair off the ropes and catches him with some kind of leaping Chinlock that gets a two count. Flair fights his way back to his feet and breaks the hold with a Side Suplex.

Flair applies the Figure Four but the referee forces him to break it when he catches Flair using the ropes for leverage. Flair Snapmares Perfect and climbs to the top rope. Those of you paying attention last week will know that Flair NEVER hits this. Perfect gets to his feet and Press Slams Flair from the turnbuckles down to the canvas.

Back from the ads and Flair pulls a set of brass knuckles from his knee pad and chins Perfect with them before hiding the evidence back in his knee pad. Flair hits an Elbow Drop but only gets a two when the referee eventually notices Perfect’s foot on the bottom rope. Flair grabs Perfect’s foot off the ropes and gets another two, this time Perfect kicked out. Flair unloads with Right Hands to Perfect’s open forehead wound. Flair chops Perfect in the corner (woo) but it has no effect. Perfect’s second wind has Flair backing into the corner before unloading with Chops an Irish Whip, a Back Drop and a Clothesline. Perfect Irish Whips Flair who goes over the turnbuckle, down the apron and up the next turnbuckle where he launches himself at Perfect.

It NEVER works! This time Perfect catches Flair in mid air with a Clothesline that gets Perfect a two count. Flair takes down Perfect and tries to pin him with his foot on the ropes but the referee eventually spots this and puts a stop to it, Perfect then rolls up Flair for a two. Flair whips Perfect off the ropes and ducks for a Backdrop but Perfect grabs him in a Perfect Plex that gets the three count. Flair is gone. He will never be back again. OK he’ll be back in late 2001, which at the rate I’m going through these means we will not see Ric Flair again until late 2026 (something to look forward to I suppose)

Winner: Mr Perfect

We get yet another airing of that blasted Mania commercial and Vince McMahon hypes next week’s show that includes Doink vs Typhoon and we are done.

Post Show: I thought this was the better of the Raw episodes we have done. There were two big Star versus Star matches this week and no major Star versus Enhancement matches (give or take your views on the Brooklyn Brawler)

Match Of The Night: Mr Perfect vs Ric Flair. It’s not a (pardon the unintended pun) perfect match but it’s a good one.

MVP: Mr Perfect. Tonight he looked like a main event player and not a mid card, Intercontinental level. It’ll be interesting to see how WWE follow up on this.

With that I am done. I can be found on Twitter @Callaweasy2220 where I live tweet Raw, Smackdown, NXT and (when there’s one on like the weekend just gone when we had Money In The Bank and an NXT TakeOver) Pay Per View.

Let’s make this interesting and interactive. Chairshot is all about #UseYourHead so do just that. These episodes of Raw and anything I cover are easily available on the WWE Network. Go watch them, #UseYourHead and form YOUR opinion on these shows. What did YOU think? What did YOU like? Could you book WWE in 1993 better? Feel free to tweet me @Callaweasy2220 with YOUR answers to these questions and YOUR opinions

I will be back next week with a Chairshot Classics special and then it will be Raw episode Four (looking forward so much to Doink vs Typhoon). So until next week, #UseYourHead and ALWAYS have an Angle!

Classic WrestleMania

Attitude Of Aggression #287- The Big Four Project: WrestleMania VIII

The guys review WrestleMania VIII including Bret Hart v. Roddy Piper, Randy Savage v. Ric Flair, and much more!

Attitude of Aggression

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for another installment of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. On this Episode, the guys cover WrestleMania VIII. The era of Hulkamania was drawing to a close and this particular WrestleMania, to a large degree, dealt with that. This epic event at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis in the spring of 1992 saw two unforgettable classic championship matches as Bret “Hitman” Hart sought to recapture the IC title from Rowdy Roddy Piper and “Macho Man” Randy Savage sought to reclaim the WWE Championship from “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Add in Hulk Hogan’s last match in WWE for roughly 10 months, and the unforgettable return of The Ultimate Warrior, and this Mania was one for the ages, even if much of the undercard was underwhelming. Join us here for all that and much more on another epic installment of The Big Four Project!

Attitude of Aggression

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for another installment of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. This Episode marks a departure from format for the Big Four Project as the guys have decided to move away from covering two events per Chapter and are now just going to cover one event per Episode. But they sure picked a hell of an event to start this new trend with. The 1992 Royal Rumble is regarded by many as the best Royal Rumble of all-time. More than 20 Hall of Famers got together at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, New York, to crown a new WWE Champion. In one of the most iconic Rumble matches ever, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, overcame astounding odds to capture the gold. Here on this Episode, the guys do a watch along of this historic and unforgettable match and invite you to join in on the fun. Plus, the guys cover the undercard, including Rowdy Roddy Piper capturing the only singles gold of his career in WWE. Join us here for that and much more on another epic installment of The Big Four Project!
