Literally record low ratings.

Flair wasnt that influential. You could remove him from history and you'd still have Hulkamnia, nWo, Attitude era ect.
DESU you could remove HBK too.
Most influential = Hogan and Nash

True.
>made the Undercarder look good
Taker has had plenty good matches outside of Shawn, but Shawn did get the best from him.
>made Gaytch look like 9/10 in the ring
His HHH matches werent that great. Both have had far better against other opponents.
>was unironically a draw. Survivor Series 97 outdrew Mania that year for a reason.
Because he lost his smile and pussied out of WM13 despite WWE pushing him to the moon for 18 months beforehand (all the while business tanking). Survivor Series gave the match that was supposed to be at Wrestlemania.

>Most influential = Nash
Wow, that is even more idiotic.
>>2896673
Flair himself was a knockoff of Buddy Rogers, like Austin Idol, Buddy Landell, Billy Graham, Butch Reed, Sheldon Benjamin and every other wrestler that died their hair blond and/or used some variation of "nature" in their name.
>>2896715
If Nash doesn't leave to create the nwo, thus creating the attitude era in response, Shawn more than likely continues his coked up stripper gimmick.
>>2896708
Apparently the Nash mark is back
>>2896775
So, he was influential by not being there?
Lets face it, there are some guys in the 30s or so who are probably a lot more influential than guys any of us knows.
Flair stole from Buddy Rodgers and Gorgeous George
Gorgeous George is more influential than Flair
But most Flair fans are just dumb kids who accept whatever WWE spoonfeeds them
>>2896845
Oh look, another contrarian faggot. Name your favorite Buddy Rogers or Gorgeous George promo/match.

kys try-hard
The Hitman was always better.

imagine being this dense
it was held in canada
where the then-WWF champion bret hart was a massive draw
you stupid idiot

This. Shawn's personality was just unbearable like even as a heel I found him overhyped. HBK is a great worker, but I prefer Big Papa Pump for my 90s heel.
