Ok granted the guy has done alot of great things in his career. But what exactly catagorizes him as the GOAT? It seems everyone today is forced into believing this nonsense when most fans today werent even around in Flair's prime.
Hes had mutiple runs as world champ and has won the belt i dunno what 16-17 times?? Thats means has LOST the belt that many times too. His ring work throughout his career has been SOO formulaic (with the goofy bump over the top, silly chops etc.) I could name 5 or 6 BETTER workers right off the top of my head.(steamboat, dynamite, benoit, thesz, bockwinkle,) IF you just watch his DVD, the matches on Disc 1 are the same as the matches on Disc 3. REPETITIVE AS HELL.
Horrible freaking body his entire career. He looked horrible. Great mic work I cant argue with that. Lots of charisma. Flair being a HUGE draw is debatable.
He may have been a draw. But if the guy was so GREAT, why was NWA or WCW always performing to half, empty arenas with Flair on top. He didnt help WWE's business that much at all when he went there in 91. Viewership didnt increase, gate receipts and attendance werent all that great.
I could go on. But anyways. Im not denying he is great and has done some memorable things but Why has WWE and flair's cronies pushed us into believing he is the GOAT? The only thing that comes to mind is, "he just never know when to hang it up, or the amount of wrestlers he has wrestled in each generation. If Flair wasnt in good with Vinnie Mac Im sure they would push someone else as the GOAT. Im sure if Hogan was in good with family of wwe, he would pushed as the GOAT. Since the things in the business Hulk has done is MUCH MUCH bigger and more memorable than Flair's formulaic matches night in, night out for 25 years.
