Ric Flair Is The Most Overrated Piece Of Shit Wrestler Ever

and Hulking Up is not asinine cartoonish bullshit?

don't bring Hogan and flair comparisons in here as they are both as bad as each other when you get down to it until you look at drawing ability. and for the purposes of this argument we aren't.

Ive tried to say this so many times in past debates and its never stuck...beauty shadow

and before anyone feels like telling me that hulking up got the crowd going, watch a Ric Flair match and tell me how loud the crowd gets for the Flair flop.....tis very loud

No it's not because it adds to the story of Hogan's matches. That's what his character is all about, to overcome almost impossible odds. When he's about to lose he finds strength from all of his Hulkamaniacs and defeats the heel. When Hogan Hulks up does the crowd go crazy? Damn right they do. He has worked that crowd, got them to invest their emotions into the match, and route him on to win. Flair can't even touch Hogan on that. Flair's cartoonish spots add nothing to his matches, other than a bit of comedy relief.

Id say Hulk Hogans Asinine Bullshit of Hulking up is part of the reason that Wrestling lost some of its magic. The same with the Steroids trial, And the Screwjob. Nice Job WWE kill the Magic.

My point exactly if Flair is overrated because he had the same matches everytime so is Hogan. What people fail to realize is Flair could wrestle his a** off and did this for 4 decades! Flair made a name for himself for making other wrestlers look good. He would go out there and take a pounding in the ring then get a quick win with a handful of tights. He was the dirtiest player in the game. All these fans on here that are trying to take away from his legacy by judging him for the last ten 8-10 years of his carreer obviously dont know what there talking about. A LOT of wrestlers today couldnt pull off what naitch has accomplished. 16 Time World Champion! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one is disputing that Flair was better wrestler than Hogan...Hogan was overrated too but he made a boat-load of money for every single wrestler in the WWF while he was on top....when he was on the card the gates were through the roof. Ability vs. ability, Flair was better, but that still does not make Flair the greatest because there were alot of guys that were better than Hogan. What hogan lacked in ring skill he more than made up for in charisma and presence..Flair will never transcend the business like Hogan did. I was never a hogan fan growing up but i cannot deny his appeal was massive on a global scale. For my money Savage was better than both of them in my opinion.

Also, part of being great means you know when to pack it in and call it a career, something Flair has neglected to do. He has been carried for over a decade by his opponents and it has hurt his legacy. I certainly do not want to see Taker and HBK performing the way Flair did for the past 15 years, i think that would truly be sad. The difference between Flair and those two guys is that they are leaps and bounds ahead of where Flair was at when he was the same age of 43. I don't think anyone can argue that Taker has been having consistently the best matches of his career the past 2 years.

I agree Flair was a hard working and had passion for the buisness but he was not the greatest of all time. Their was so many wrestlers in history that was better then him. I mean if you wanna say who the greatest of all time was i think a man who is underrated Curt Hennig a.k.a. Mr. Perfect. He had the look, the wrestling skiils, he cut great promos, and he had charisma. He should have had alot of wwe title runs he was that damn good. He was better then Flair.

Agreed. I stated this earlier in this thread. Hennig had a better physique than Flair,was more athletic than Flair,cut great promos,drew great heel heat, he could take bumps better than anyone and his matches with Bret Hart were better than anything i've seen from Flair, including Flair/Steamboat in my opinion, yet you don't hear anyone speak of him in the same regard as Flair. He was having great matches in the AWA years before arriving in WWF and if it were not for his recurring back injury i do not doubt for one minute that he would have been WWF Champion having great matches with Hart,Savage,HBK,Razor, and Taker.
