2. Ric Flair Interview: Vince McMahon is standing in the ring when he introduces Ric Flair for an interview.

McMahon asks Flair about his match with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X and how important it is. Flair tells McMahon that for the past three years Hogan has been ducking him.

WrestleMania X the world will witness just who the true icon of wrestling is and it will be made very clear that Ric Flair is the man.
