Buddy Rogers passed the torch to Ric, and he took it and ran, could something similar happen now? And Kenny doesn't necessarily have to be the one to take the name, I just thought of him since they've feuded some. If not Kenny, could anyone be the Nature Boy of the future?Keep in mind I LOVE Ric, I just think it'd be interesting to have the character and the name be a legacy of sorts.. or is Flair's shadow just too big?

only if they rechristen him "The Nature Boy" Ken Doane. Really Dykstra dosen't do it for me.

Kenny's got a ways to go before they give him THAT huge of a push. I mean, Ric giving you the Torch? It has to be someone extremelly over, talented on the mic and ring, whos been around for a while and proven themselves, yet has a lot of years left in them. Honestly, I cant think of anyone who could do it right now. Although Gregory Helms would be interesting...he doesnt have much of a gimmick per se, and hes also from NC. But Kenny?? Not right now.

I'm pretty sure back in the day people were a little upset about Ric Flair becoming the Nature Boy. I mean, nobody could imagine that he'd still be wrestling 30 years later.
While Kenny may be ready for it someday, he's just not right now. But I would like to see Flair pass it on, but only to someone of Flair's choosing, not the WWE's.

I personally think it could work and with Kenny Dykstra.

Triple H would crap a brick if this happened. Remember, only Triple H is allowed to play-act as Ric Flair.

I personally think it could work and with Kenny Dykstra. The name doesn't bother me as much any more. This is a good idea, but it should happen in a few years, not right now.

There's currently a guy in Memphis Wrestling going by the moniker "The New Nature Boy" Kevin White. He doesn't act like Flair or anything though, I don't think. There's a bunch of stuff of his on youtube, but I think it is all before he started going by this name: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dwYN3Cntoo

I've been saying this about Kenny for a while. I think it could work and be used to elevate Kenny rather than give it to someone already over and established.

If I had been around when Buddy rogers was wrestling, I'd probably resent Flair for using his name, now that I've been around to see Ric, I'm going to resent anyone that uses this name. Actually I'm just going to resent kenny in general anyway
