Ric Flair The Real True Legend !

We can all talk about Hulk Hogan as a legend and I like Hogan, but as a fan for 21 years I feel I have a point to make, and far as I see it Ric Flair the Legend.

He has wrestled longer, used to wrestle on christmas days, Easter days, family birthdays, even when his own children were born he was wrestling. He wrestled more times then there was days in a year.

He has held more titles than Hogan this 16 times world champion is not true it's 19, and that's just the world titles? Everytime he did an interview they were always interesting and had fans griped to see what he was going to say, he is far far better a wrestler then Hogan ever was.

And how can we for get he is king of the 60 minute matches, how many 60 minute matches have we seen Hogan in?

Even at 56, he is still going where Hogan at 51 has a hip replacement and had his knee replaced and comes back to give the fans now and then a walk down memoire lane, flex his 24 inch biceps (more like 19) and disappears for a year or two.

Love or hate Flair he is the true legend and is still going to day, how many people do you know would take a back flip at 56 after breaking your back in 3 places when they were in their 20's?

Flair's nothing on Hogan. Even Flair has acknowledged this. Hogan was so big he transcended the industry. Flair is a legend in wrestling but Hogan was an 80's icon.

He kisses Triple H's ass a little too much as well.

Exactly without Hogan there would be no business.

Both are legends, no one can doubt that. Flair was the beter wrestler, while Hogan was by far the better personality.

I only happened to read these comments that Bret Hart made a while ago about Ric Flair: http://www.brethart.com/comments.asp

I always thought Flair was a great wrestler, one of the best matches I've ever seen was him vs Steamboat. But Bret's comments sort of make you think twice about some things

I respect Bret alot but I don't agree with everything he says in that article. What's wrong with being a "routine" guy? So Flair does his comedic delayed fall, getting thrown off the top rope etc. It's no different than Chris Benoit hitting the triple German Suplexes and doing the headbutt and Bret has praised Benoit many times. That is his "routine". Also, he knocks the chops but Benoit uses them as well and I think chops are a good addition to a wrestling match and get the fans involved. I think Flair is lacking in ring psychology when compared to guys like Bret but some of the criticism in the above article is unfair in my view.

I do however agree with Bret's comments on Flair's backstage attitude and that Flair's comments about Owen were out of order.
