We are back and Randy tells Ric that he has every right to be upset with him, but he can't be angry at the Nature Boy.  He can't find it in his heart.  This match wasn't necessary.  He was in this fight with KO because your ego put me in this place.  I can't be angry with you.  You are the dirtiest player in the game.  Randy says he has learned so much from Flair and Ric has been there with him.  You are one of the reasons why I am in the ring after twenty years.

Randy asks Ric if he remembers Peoria, Illinois.  He got into some trouble and nobody was there by his side other than you.  You bailed my 22 year old punk ass out of jail. 

I don't respect you and I don't love you anymore.  You are a liability to me.  Everything that I am trying to do and you are a liability.  You took me under your wing so I could be the son you wish you had.  Randy asks Ric if he is starting to cry.  He tells Ric to sob like a little baby.  You aren't the Ric Flair that everybody looked up to.  You aren't the Ric Flair who taught him everything.  The Ric Flair he looked up to wouldn't need a pacemaker.  He wouldn't have been in a coma.  He isn't a whore for the spotlight.  You are washed up.

In a few weeks, I have a change to become a World Champion for a fourteenth time and that is all you had to worry about, but you care about yourself.

Ric says he is taking this personaly, but he has some things to tell Randy.  The Ric Flair from 2001 is not here.  Do I like the spotlight?  Yeah.  Do I like calling you the greatest?  Yes.  I am 71 years old and I am on Raw.  I have people like Hogan asking him how is it.  I want your approval.  I want to be there when you win your 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th title.  I want you to break my record, not John Cena's record.  MY RECORD.  Your dad knows about it. 

You know what I went through.  You are the greatest performer in the business today.  Do you want to see me get emotional?  After 31 days of being in intensive care and in a coma for 12 of them.  When I woke up, I wanted to tell the people I didn't tell that I loved them.  I called around and talked to everyone who mattered to me.  I am not trying to take anything from you.  I am Charlotte's dad and want to be part of Randy Orton's life.  I am not Ric Flair again.  I am a big fan of yours and I want you to break my record.

Orton hugs Flair and then he hits Flair with a low blow as the lights flicker a bit.  Orton whispers something in Flair's ear as he winces in pain.

Orton looks around and he backs up.  Orton lines up and the lights go out for a moment.  They come back on and the lights go out as Orton kicks Flair in the head.

Drew McIntyre comes to the ring and Orton goes to the back.

Drew checks on Flair and he calls Orton an evil son of a bitch.  Drew says he will get everything that he deserves.

We go to credits as people finally make their way to the ring.
