Speaking as someone who actually agrees with a lot of what Flair is saying, he needs to realize that he had a lot more help from the guys he worked with. Flair worked with guys like Luger, Sting, Steamboat, and probably others I'm neglecting to mention since I only really started watching wrestling about '89. Hart and Michaels were each other's best opponents, beyond that they both worked with Taker and Austin, but while they were on top they didn't have too many stellar opponents. Most of the time they spent on or near the top was consumed by feuding with each other.
