This may be a little sketchy, but I believe HBK pumps up Flair by mentioning his illustrious history. Flair then confronts H and tells him to "be at his best". Going into the match you knew that Flair really didn't have a chance to win. However, it what was one of the greatest matches in 2003 and probably one of the best on RAW. H and Flair had you reeling in a back and forth adventure which turned smart wrestling fans into a bloody marks . It was an amazing match with a simple build-up, but it worked.

Indeed, I was screaming at the TV when the figure four was locked in begging for H to tap. I grew up in the south and Ric Flair is the wrestling god where I am from.
