I may be killed in my sleep tonight but this needs to be said,

Thanks to the current post-millennial contrarian fanbase, Flair is bizarrely coming close to being underrated these days.

>>2930801
he is overrated but at the same time its hard to ignore his contribution to wrestling.

Based Bretchad

I always thought he was a bit overrated. He didn't last long in the WWF (early 90s) and several accounts say that few people at the company liked him so he went back to WCW quite quickly.

Please OP tell me who is better. Don't name some 1930's wrestler or some shit.

Bam Bam Bigelow

He's probably the only wrestler I can recall that got more interesting in his 50s/60s than he was in his younger days

Well that certainly is an interesting opinion. The promos he was layin down in the early days of World Championship Wrestling were pure kino tho

Bret Hart

Yes there's nothing like overrating a guy who in his prime put on regular 4 star plus matches, is one of the greatest all time promos, helped form two of the greatest factions ever, succeeded at the highest level in multiple promotions, and had the longevity to do this for decades.

Overrated

>mfw when he said butt-suckin

>>2930801
Nah Daniel Bryan is now

>>2930801
Look OP, Flair is definitely a piece of shit but if you were to just focus on his in-ring alone, then there is no overrating. He paved the way for so many of our current favorites and will continue to do so for generations to come.

try watching a Flair match without the nostalgia glasses its boring as fuck and he does the same shit every time

mic GOAT

>>2930801

Yeah, he gets the crowd deeply invested. What a hack.

>>2930801
The most overrated wrestler of all time is Bret Hart. His best matches are good because of his opponents performance.

He obviously meant Fourtune

The most overrated wrestler of all time is one of those scrubs from the 40's that nobody even saw but everyone pretends was great like Lou Thesz

>>2930801
You're going to sleep well through the night then, but all the praise he gets is much deserved though.

>>2930801

People like Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Triple H and Taker exist, so that's impossible. Although its mainly people who have only watched the WWE thinking they're the the absolute GOATs.

>>2930904
Lou thez or some shit

>>2930801
His work as an actual heel is fantastic. He's really good at selling "stolen wins" until you want to see him get his ass kicked so much that it's a cathartic release when he finally does.

His work as a face/heel-transcending-legend is disappointing.

He's sort of a one trick pony, but that one trick is basically the definition of what a good heel should be.

>>2932733

Hogan got the crowd more invested than Flair
so why dont people rate Hogan's matches *****?

You ask anybody who has actually wrestled who their favorite or one of their favorite wrestlers are and more often than not they will say Ric Flair. He is rated just fine.

If you removed Flair from history how much would change?
We still get Hulkamania Rock n Wrestling of the 80s
We still get nWo and Monday Night Wars
We still get Attitude Era

Flair is a meme wrestler

>>2930801
You should be killed in your sleep

Roddy Piper is the most overrated of all time.

Flair's literally shit

>>2930801
Nah fuck you. Fuck your whole family.

>>2932766

I wouldnt watch the old timers boring matches but I can at least appreciate their historical significance, unlike Ric Flair.

>>2931210
>but if you were to just focus on his in-ring alone
you'd realize he wasn't even the best horseman.

>>2933979
This, Flair was utterly insignificant to wrestling. Only southern inbreds and bitter pre-NWO dubya cee dubya fanboys rate him.

Flair isn't really that important to wrestling, but his character is highly memorable, which is why he's regarded so highly I suppose.

>>2930904
Ed The Stranger Lewis

>>2932742
What about Nash? Or Yoko?

Did OP get killed in his sleep?

He was fair for his day but outlived his shelf life as soon as the better performers and athletes he paved the way for took center stage.

I guess he was a good character actor too, but I'm not a pleb mark and don't care about the gay ass storylines.

>>2930801
Fuck this faggot. He really is overrated.

>>2930801
Flair was a great wrestler and god-tier promo but did the same match every fuckin time. Even hogan had more variety in his hulk-ups.

You kids are so lost. Ric Flair is the greatest of all time. You should feel stupid.

@2930801
You got your (YOU)'s, so no need for me to add yet another minnow to this pitiful bait. I only wanted to comment on my own personal crisis: I am currently reading (& commenting about) posts on a pro-wrestling board where children have the sheer audacity to shit on the greatest heel of all time.

I really need to get my shit together.

WCW never gets off the ground.

Tanahashi is pretty overrated. Turned the heavyweight division into sports entertainment Juniors 2.0, didn't even drawn any dimes.
