That's right folks, it's finally here. The list I know many of you were waiting for since last Fall when I began putting these lists together. A man whose career has spanned decade after decade, and in every one he's given us a wealth of classic matches and moments. Today we only focus on the former. For this week, the man many feel is the greatest of all time will be honored with a Top 20 Series first. This week we aren't doing 20, we aren't doing 25. For the first time, and maybe only time ever, we're hitting THIRTY. The Top 30 matches for the one and only..
RIC FLAIR
Now, this week things are going to run a little differently than usual. We're opening the list up more than we have in the past. Below are the guidelines for voting in this week's legendary list.
1) 15 matches per list submission. Same point system as usual will be in play. 1st = 15, 2nd = 14, etc on down.
2) There are no restrictions on nominations for this week. If it happened in Japan, in the United States, in NWA, it doesn't matter. If Flair wrestled in it, it is 100% in play. We're getting the definitive look at the Nature Boy this week.
3) The deadline for this week is up in the air. If the submissions are coming in at the usual pace, Friday night will be the cut off, and this will be counted down over Saturday and maybe Sunday. If people are taking their time, I'll announce Friday that everyone has an extra week to look over things and vote. We'll see as the week goes on.
I hope this list is fun for everyone. I know it's been one many have clamored for in the last few months. Just to clear something up, this is NOT the end of the Top 20 Series. I know in the past I said I was holding off on doing Flair's list until last, but things changed and that is no longer the case. Things will continue on as usual after this list is over. Well, maybe a little differently, since Roxie and I will be introducing the Top 20 Moments/Segments series in the near future as well.
Anyway, I've said everything that needs to be said. This week is going to be one hell of a ride I'd wager. So get to voting. Assume you have a Friday deadline as usual, but know it isn't concrete just yet.
