9-8 Flair, this might be REALLY close.

On a side note though, given HBM's wrestling style, it would be near impossible to wrestle as long as Flair has. |

The Nature Boy is a man of his word. He said he would never retire and he seems to be on that path, so I must vote for that man.

Shawn Michaels. Ric Flair may be the measuring stick for how great a wrestler truly is, but Shawn Michaels would be a champion high jumper. Flair set the bar, Michaels leaped above. Shawn is the total package as a worker, the best ever.

If Flair wrestles one more match will that change your mind?

I believe Steve Austin was also told to retire after his broken neck. Triple H defied general practices of medicine after his 2nd quad explosion as well...
HBK has been putting on higher quality matches for longer time than Flair. He is a better athlete, and always has been. His exocution is top notch, his character delivery in and out of the ring has always been expemlar. Shawn Michaels style of wrestling is the most immitated by other wrestlers, and remains the most enjoyable to watch in my opinion. He is probably in at least 5 of my 10 favourite matches of all time, he is old as fuck and still a far better worker than anyone else in the WWE locker room. He is the best wrestler of all time. Ric Flair could not have immitated what Shawn does in a ring at any point in his career. Legacy, and fueds and a few other factors may create a bigger argument here, but when I think about the merits of an individual wrestler, its the way he carries his character and the way he works that are paramount to me. |

HBK is great, he'd probably get my vote over anyone else. But this is Ric Flair, and to me, nobody beats the Naitch.

The V.2 is generally an improved version of the previous. And while evolution doesn't always enovke improvement, I feel it has in this instance. None of anything I said is a knock on Flair, just justification of my decision. Last edited by Fabien Barthez; 10-23-2008 at 01:43 PM. Reason: Msn grammar. |

If it remains tied, can Flair get into the HoF and Shawn start his road to the hall of fame? I think that is a pretty good deal.

For me this is a no brainer. Its HBK without a doubt in my mind.
I mean yes I am younger and haven't seen ALL of Ric Flairs work, but from the thing s I have seen compared to the entire career of HBK`s that I have seen, I can't go against HBK. He is the greatest that I have ever seen, and imo the greatest ever. Last edited by Heros Welcome; 10-23-2008 at 02:31 PM. |

Guy Fawkes is voting for Ric Flair? Sounds like a dirty trick from the dirtiest player in the game.

In the event of a tie Flair will have another match (to try and get his 5th win) and HBM will be either face the next champ or be one of the two next challengers in the event a HoF is crowned in the following match.

WOOOOOOO
Flair's was on top and drew serious money for a period of like 10 years. He was the face of NWA/WCW for the longest time. HBK has had better matches, but he's below Flair. Last edited by Loose Cannon; 10-23-2008 at 05:00 PM. |

Also, I completely realize that I more of an old shcool fan than most, but I prefer Flair's 70s-80s (and even a little from the early 90s) to HBMs stuff.
