Flair said, “I think people, especially in the South, like ‘wrastlin.’ We called it when I first got to Charlotte. David [Crockett] knows it was me and Richard Petty. It was ‘wrastlin’ and racing.’ And wrestling’s never left Nashville. So we’re going to ‘wrastle, and I’m talking about in the old days, and Jeff [Jarrett] knows what I’m talking about.”

“You’d cut off the end of a chisel, put it in a metal plate, and put it in their fingers, and that was a ‘hard way.’ Boom! Chisel right in the head. Not a blade. A chisel. So, I can’t guarantee you a chisel, but I’ll have something with me,” The Nature Boy asserted.
