Foley, Savage and Bret Hart have been doing just fine outside of the world of wrestling, ... What else has Ric Flair got?

Not being a flashy guy, not being a guy with the blond hair, not being a guy with the great body, my deal was always execute, execute, execute. Fundamentals. Be good at what you do, be a damn good wrestler, which is what I tried to be. Bret Hart, same philosophy. The thing about Bret Hart, that excellence of execution was 100% correct. He was a guy that bell to bell - it took a little longer to get used to Bret Hart because, if he did it, it made sense. Straight line, A to B, there was no dart around A to C, no dart around E to F. Bret Hart was one of the greatest technical wrestlers that this business has ever known, everything made sense, and to be honest with you, the first challenge Tully and I had, him and Neidhart, the first real, real big match that we ever had, I think it was Summersalm in `88. And when it was all said and done, it was just an honor to be in the ring with him, he was just that good.
