>>13227201It helps that Ric lived his character. That's what he was behind the scenes, as well. Frankly most wrestlers back then were their characters. I look at the wrestling promos of NWA Ric and others at the time and it just feels real and has weight because, for the most part, it was real. Nowadays it's just a phony circus with D-tier list actors that you can't take seriously because it looks, it sounds and feels fake.
