Why Hasn't Hogan/Flair Ever Had That EPIC Feel To It?

[Mustang Sally]

Everyone in this thread has the right idea, and it can be put in an even more basic fashion. Flair had plied his trade in WCW for years, building his reputation and establishing a standard of excellence unmatched by anyone.

Then, one day, Hogan enters the company and, in his very first match, wins the title from Flair and instantly becomes the man who beat the man. (Wooo!) Never mind paying your dues, never mind respecting the legend that was already there.

In one shot, the geniuses at WCW cheapened the legacy of Ric Flair and showed that Hogan would thereafter be treated like a god. In my view, they even inadvertently placed WWE above themselves, proving to us that the best of Stamford could come in and beat the best of Atlanta at any time.

After that, I could never get behind a Flair-Hogan feud. It seemed pointless.

that would probably be because we've seen it too many times before and we all know the result. Flair should have been able to beat Hogan at any point in their careers, but because of Hogan's drawing power, it never happened. And i don't see Hogan allowing Flair to beat him on Hulk's own tour.
