Ric Flair could go up to any wrestler, now or then, and make them a star. Steamboat (granted) has a few good matches to be proud of, but without Flair going out of his way to bring Steamboat up, he wouldn't be jack shit. I relate Steamboat to Shelton Benjamin. He has all the skills in the world, great look, and is marketable...but until someone can come along and make something out of his, he isn't shit. Ric Flair walked into anywhere he went and made himself "The Man". He made American Style Wrestling popular before there was a name for it. It is because of Ric Flair (and to a lesser extent Superstar Billy) that we have the type of wrestling we have right now. Now don't get me wrong, I think the world of The Dragon...hell anyone who has had his career and his match resume to back it up deserves respect...but he isn't a drop in the bucket of greatness that is Flair. Both him and Sting owe their entire careers to Flair for taking them to a level they could have never reached on their own.

That is what most people forget about Flair. Yeah he is the 18 time (not 16 time, look it up) World Champion, but more then that, he gave us an entire slew of credible wrestlers. He is the only MEGA Main Eventer (other then The Rock) to make his opponite look better then him, and STILL come out stronger for it. Flair was always "The Man" to beat. Like I said eailer in the thread, Flair usually wasn't even the highlight of the match...but he made Main Eventers, he made Legends, he made Icons...and he did it all by making guys look better then they ever could on their own.

Now point me in the direction of some hills, cause I got a friends ass to woop.

Ok it's all a matter of opinion

Wait! What are you doing with that Axe!

No!

NOOOOOOOOOO!
