Is Flair the Greatest of All Time?

We can all argue who the greatest wrestler is, however, the only true measuring stick that SHOULD be used is their drawing ability, and how much money they make for the company/themselves. David Meltzer compiled a list of the biggest draws in WWE history based on gates/ratings the wrestlers drew as Main eventers, here is the top 20.

1. Bruno Sammartino

2. HULK HOGAN
3. BOB BACKLUND
4. ARGENTINA ROCCA
5. HHH
6. UNDERTAKER

7. STEVE AUSTIN (Undertaker and HHH have passed him in recent years since he finished his career in 2003. Had he not retired at the age of 38 due to injuries, as well as missed what probably would have been his biggest drawing year in 1999 with neck surgery, he would have been No. 2 on this list by now. Nobody ever in company history was a bigger drawing card or merchandise seller then he was at his peak.)
8. THE ROCK
9. PEDRO MORALES
10. SHAWN MICHAELS
11. SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM
12. MIGUEL PEREZ
13. BRET HART
14. BUDDY ROGERS
15. RANDY SAVAGE
16. JOHN CENA
17. KURT ANGLE
18. MICK FOLEY aka CACTUS JACK, DUDE LOVE, MANKIND
19. ANDRE THE GIANT
20. DR. JERRY GRAHAM

This list indicated Flair as no where close to the greatest of all time. I know you all may not like the list, but it is fact, Money = Success.
