Herb Brooks before the Miracle on Ice. Knute Rockne telling his club to “win one for the Gipper.” John ‘Bluto’ Blutarsky asking his boys, “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
All speeches which inspired men to scale greater heights. To achieve the impossible.
Now, you have 8-year-old Ro. The boy doesn’t just deliver a dynamic speech to his Little League team. He delivers it in the style of the one and only “Nature Boy” Ric Flair.
It’s an effort so good that MLB took notice and posted it to their X account.

Little League Player Pumps His Team Up With A Little Ric Flair-Style Promo
Now look. I have no idea if this is a legit pre-game speech. The TikTok account it comes from shows Ro over and over again delivering WWE promos and playing sports.
Did he decide to get the team fired up before a game spontaneously? Probably not. Did Dad record the promo after it was practiced several times? Who knows?
And you know what? I don’t care. Because it’s baseball. It’s America. And with all due respect to Seth Rollins, it’s Ric Freakin’ Flair dammit!
“And when we become champions, we become the Rolex wearin’, diamond ring flairin’, kiss stealin’ – Woo! – wheelin’ dealin’, limousine ridin’, jet flyin’, son of a gun!”
How can you not love that? It … it brings a tear to this author’s eye.

Guess Who Was Impressed?
It wasn’t just MLB that noticed this kid’s effort either. A certain WWE superstar shared the video on social media as well.
“Look At Ro Pumping Up The Little League In Style,” Ric Flair admired. “WOOOOO!”
Not everybody on X was enamored with Ro’s impersonation of Ric Flair before a Little League game. But those people clearly hate puppies, and grandmas, and laugh when dolphins get caught in tuna nets.
Actually, some of the responses are pretty funny.
“Genuinely I mean genuinely hope his team got smoked and he went 0-4,” one person likely wallowing in middle management wrote.
“Team in red better give him some chin music,” another added.
Yea, I got nothing. That’s actually pretty fair, to be honest.
If it’s good enough for Ric Flair though, it’s good enough for me. Keep on stylin’ and profilin’, Ro.
