Ric Flair Travels Down Under to Put Hulk Hogan in His Place

It's 1986 up in here. Hulk Hogan is in Australia promoting Hulkamania (Saturday night in Melbourne ... tickets have to be still available) and during a Wednesday press conference things got out of control. (As out of control as one might expect at a press conference touting an event that involves people who fake fight for a living.)

In any event, Ric Flair, also apart of the spectacle, pimp-slapped Hogan as the two ironically "traded insults over women." And then things got, well, predictable. But there was plenty of blood to distract us from the banalities. Video proof after the jump.



Nothing like a pair of card-carrying AARPs putting on a play to drum up interest in more old-timers in tights pretending to slap-fighting.

Note to Australia: you know wrestling is fake, right? I'll just assume the news anchor doesn't really believe "things got out of control" since the presser-turned-bloodbath is straight out of the pro wrasslin' playbook.
