>>16341280 One of the greats of all time when it comes to personality and promos, but fairly limited offense in most of his matches.
This of course is because his style is primarily psychological, reliant on angering the 1980's crowds by getting throttled and bloodied against powerful respected heroes such as Dusty Rhodes. Then winning by way of ill deeds, numbers and treachery.
Flair was one of the pioneers in the modern idea of a heel wrestler. Rather than simply a crazed fool wielding a foreign object or a mere coward, Ric Flair was a manipulator and a leader among scum. In the sheer ability to pull the hatred of man with his words and actions, only the likes of Superstar Billy Graham and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper can compare. Truly a schemer on the league of Sauron himself.
Though I sometimes wonder if he could have walked the path of a hero if he was not so greatly injured in his youth.
