A few months later, when I found out I’d be having a one hour marathon match at the Boston Garden with Ric, I came up with a brilliant storyline that I ran by Vince, who loved it.



브렛 하트와 릭 플레어가 보스턴 가든에서 1시간짜리 경기를 가짐. 기가 막히는 스토리라인을 짜낸 건 브렛이었음



When I ran it by Flair in the dressing room the night of the show he immediately interrupted me and began telling me what we were going to do instead.



라커룸에서 만난 릭은 곧바로 자기가 경기 운영을 하겠다고 떼를 씀



I finally had to cut him off and sadly dress him down in front of several wrestlers saying, “Ric, I’m the champion and this is how it’s going to go.” He dropped his jaw, turned red, and took his seat, saying, “You’re the champ.” He never, ever got over it either. Scott Hall was there and often told this story to other wrestlers for years. Sadly, old Ric still managed to mess up the timing for every fall, in what I could only see as intentional.



브렛이 말을 자르고 자기가 챔피언이니 자기가 경기 운영을 해야 된다고 함. 릭은 얼굴이 빨개졌지만 '네가 챔피언이지'라며 그 말에 수긍함.



At the time I was furious to read in Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter how Ric Flair carried me for the full sixty minutes!


하지만 데이브 멜처는 릭 플레어가 60분 내내 릭이 경기를 주도했다고 써놓음!



Ric Flair never carried me, ever! Years later I spoke with Meltzer about it and we cleared the air when after hearing my perspective on it he agreed that he didn’t have all the facts and told me that he’d never seen the Boson match, which was reported to him by a fan who was there. If anything, Flair was not only notorious for sucking up to the office but generally took liberties with his opponents who had been convinced that he was going to make them.



릭 플레어는 날 주도한 적이 없음! 난 몇 년 후에 멜처랑 대화를 나눴고, 곧바로 화해를 함. 사실 멜처는 보스턴 매치를 본 적도 없었고, 대신 직관한 팬의 리포트를 실은 것이었음. (실제로 레슬링 옵저버를 한 번이라도 읽어 본 사람은 알겠지만 하우스 쇼 리포트는 전적으로 팬 리포트로 구성됨)



If you watch Flair’s matches you’ll see that he usually made himself at the expense of his opponents , something I was famous for not doing.



플레어는 상대를 희생시켜 자기 자신을 부각시키는 반면, 나는 안 그러기로 유명함 (자랑질)







별점이 아니라 하우스 쇼 리포트다
