2. Ric Flair Interview: Vince McMahon is standing in the ring when he introduces Ric Flair for an interview. Flair takes his time getting to the ring as he spins around a few times and insults a few fans in the front row. Flair stands next to McMahon with his trademark grin on his face. 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. He has refused to wrestle him on a national television because Hogan is afraid of giving up to the figure four in the middle of the ring. 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. McMahon puts over Hulkamania and how Hogan has defeated the very best in wrestling. Flair looks at McMahon and tells him “he hasn’t beaten the best until he somehow beats me and big man, that’s never going to happen.” Flair leaves the ring to close the segment.
