Serenity now!!!
As a fan of Mt Killamanjaro, I was worried you'd lost you're mind and started your very own "comparison thread"...don't scare me like that anymore.
As I read your OP, I couldn't help but buy into it more and more. I understand the reservations people have over re-casting the Nature Boy gimmick, but nowadays Super-Superstars aren't built like Legos. Its a highly frustrating, nearly impossible task to build wrestlers like the Rock, Austin, Hogan or Flair. Look how many legends it took to get Orton where he is! I say, if you can get another person anywhere near the star power of Orton or Cena, do it.
Besides, if there's anyone fit for it right now, it'd be Ziggles. He wrestles like it's as natural to him as walking and he's got a lot of respect for wrestling as a fan himself. Maybe not the new Nature Boy by every detail, but something like it given to him specifically by Flair would be no disgrace at all.
