I'm not saying that Flair wasn't in some good matches....they're just almost all exactly the same.

Who did Hennig ever "make"?
When was Hennig ever a top tier guy besides in the late80's with Hogan, but their program didn't draw. Hennig post Mr. Perfect run in WCW was meh. Flair is probably the greatest heel in wrestling history. He outdrew Hennig massively, was a better wrestler, singlehandedly kept WCW in business, won just about every title created except for the OCW title which is why he still wrestles, and was 10x better on the mic. You people are fucking retarded. |

Also, even though he is old and way past his prime, I would still rather watch Ric Flair than half of the current guys in the WWE/TNA.

The fact that Hennig is leading does not BRING A TEAR TO MY EYE.
Flair is top 3 all-time. Hennig isn't. This is ricockulous. |

Seeing the same arguments that we saw during Eddie Guerrero vs Scott Hall.
Let's keep in mind folks, that while a guy may ruin his legacy by actin a fool later in life, he's still better off than the guy who's DEAD. |

And actually, that's pretty much the only thing Hall has over Eddie. Not being dead.

In terms of charisma, on the mic, and gimmick, they're pretty much equal, to be honest.
And when we go to actual wrestling ability, and it's not even close...Hennig blows Flair away. |

Flair, hands down.
To say Perfect was better than Flair is crazy, oh wait, Rick is in TNA, and we all know what you people think of TNA |

I don't get the argument that "Ric Flair shat on his legacy".
How does him overstaying past his prime have any effect on your enjoyment of his previous works? Of all the entertainment you got from him? It's like... I dunno.... saying that just because the new Star Wars Trilogy was shit, that it makes the Original Star Wars Trilogy shit too. |

You know this brings up something that's nagged me for a while; why does there seem to be no love for the Flair/Perfect career-ending match on Raw? I seem to recall that match being pretty damn sweet yet I never see it given any props. The finish with Perfect whipping out the surprise Perfect-Plex and Bobby Heenan going apeshit was fantastic.

LOL Just found it on YouTube. Great quality. Vince McMahon is shilling for the Sci-Fi channel.

Maybe I'm overexposed to it for owning FIVE DVDS that it appears on (Count them: the actual SummerSlam DVD, Bret's DVD, the Hart Family DVD, the IC Title DVD, and Perfect's DVD, and there's probably more!) but that match doesn't do much for me. It was definitely a great match, but to me Bret had many better matches; Bret vs Davey in Wembley, Bret vs Piper at WM8, and Bret vs Owen at WMX all spring to mind.) Granted, it may have been due to Pefect being banged up that it wasn't more than it could have been, but my favorite part of that match has always been this exchange:
Monsoon: Concerned look on the face of Stu and Helen Hart as they watch. Heenan: You know why they're concerned? They snuck in! They scared the usher will find them! Ok not really my favorite, and it was a great match, but it's definitely a bit overpublished. |

3 Gertner accounts have voted for Flair and Hennig is still 3 in front.

Similarly, the Indiana Jones series takes a hit from Crystal Skull, and depending on who you are Temple of Doom. Nobody would claim these series were flawless by ignoring the clunkers. You may have spent years being entertained by Star Wars, but if you were to call the series as a whole brilliant, you'd probably be laughed at by anyone with any ability to reason. Which is why the same really should hold true for Flair. And why your logic falls flat. I know Gertie's just playing his gimmick, but you actually seemed to put a kernel of thought into it. Is Jurassic Park a movie that stands the test of time and remains excellent? Yes. Is the Jurassic Park franchise? Fuck no. Apply the same critical standards to Flair and.... |

Ive only just really gotten to see Mr.Perfects work and I love it Flair is entertaining and all but hes such a shell and a prime example of what not to do
at his age he should be in wrestling cause he loves it not because he has to pay off his next ex wife. I say Hennig |
