Vince, despite having NO notable top heels, made a decision to move Flair to a midcard position. That's respect, huh?
The political state of the WWE at that point was ludicris. Really. And no, I don't think it's disrespectful to not have a guy in the main event at all times. Flair isn't Vinces type of wrestler, but Vince respects him. Vince realizes what he did for the industry and acknowledge it. The only time in the history of ever he did that for someone who didn't blow up under his roof. And he did because it was Ric Flair. No other reason.
