Ric Flair is arguably the greatest promo in the history of the business. I mean sure, you could name a lot of other worthy contenders for the throne, but you have to admit that he's at the very top of the list for sure!

And then you have Kevin Owens, who's arguably the greatest promo of the current era. So, when you put Ric Flair and Kevin Owens in the very same ring for a promo segment, you know that it will be a fun affair!

And then to the shock and dismay of the audience, they couldn't hear Ric Flair at all. Kevin Owens had to surrender his microphone to Flair and I wonder if there was a back-and-forth planned between the two men that had to be canceled because of this embarrassing botch.

It was a cringe-worthy way to open the show!
