In a recent episode of “The ARN Show” podcast, Arn Anderson shared his insights on the lifeguard match at 1995’s Bash at the Beach, Ric Flair’s stint as the lead creative of WCW, among other issues.
Here are key takeaways from the podcast:
Discussing the lifeguard match at the 1995 Bash at the Beach, which saw Randy Savage go up against Ric Flair, Anderson said,”I was probably overdressed, for me. I remember exactly what it was, what the outfit looked like… And it was just a souped-up lumberjack match with outfits, beach outfits. So it was what it was.”
He also touched on Ric Flair’s resignation as WCW booker in 1995 sharing, “Well, Flair, pretty much quit, to be honest with you. Ric wanted to wrestle as the World Champion and be Ric Flair. He didn’t want to… sit down and be the booker. I don’t think that was what he aspired to do. As a matter of fact, I know he didn’t. And it was just too time-consuming, he was having to deal with all the headaches with the guys. You know, he was great at booking himself as a world champion, he had no other competition where that was concerned. But to now be the booker and have to book two, three shows, figure out talent, angles, all that, I just that’s not what he signed up for.”
