People who think Ric Flair isn't awesome should just stop watching wrestling all together, delete all your /pw/ folder, go whack your weasel, never come back. The man had a longer "retirement" career than most wrestlers have active career.
Was it awful to watch old man get slower by the year before WWE kayfabe retirement? Yes. The man had almost 30 fucking years long career before even setting his foot in WWE.
Is the Flair flop and begging horrible house show junk in comparison to "realistic" wrestling? Yes.
Was it even worse to watch him mutilate himself decades after best by date after first retirement. Yes. But it was still fucking awesome compared to all the one note flippies that don't know how to act their way out through a match.
Naitch set the standards of wrestling, his Woo still echoes in every fucking arena when chest slaps hit. Comparing anyone that came after him as better is like comparing how good the water tastes compared to the taste of the glass that held it for your sorry ass to drink it or admiring of tall the roof is ignoring the pillars that it stands on. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
