mvp vs matt = flair vs dusty

[lmoney215]

after reading a couple of posts on here, i was thinking about who might be the next major cocky heel and be able to pull it off the way ric flair did back in the day and potentially... i mean potentially i think MVP has a decent chance of pulling it off.

let me explain here.

MVP is all about the money, the bling, the fame, popularity, etc...

if you have seen old flair promos in the NWA, same thing, wearing the custom suits, the rolex watches, jets, limos, space mountain, the women, the whole nine.

however, MVP need a ton of work in the ring, he's getting better, but he needs a more devastating finisher, (the playmaker doesn't cut it), he has the basic heel movements down, but can improve with a "coach" of some sort. I think Matt Hardy could potentially be what dusty rhodes was to ric flair.

This would require a couple of years to build but there are some similarities so far. feuding over title, injuring people, bling vs the common man (in this case, the pretty boy).

Dusty took injury time off and that's is what matt is doing right now (with a legit injury).

what do you think?

MVP isn't and will never be Ric Flair.
I like him, he has potential, but Flair has and always has had a way around the microphone that's lost on wrestlers nowadays.

He's going to be his own wrestler, no comparison.
And if he keeps working at it, he could be one of the more memorably good ones to come along.

No one will ever be the next Flair. Flair was in a league of his own. MVP could be pretty good though.

And as for the finisher, I think MVP should use the Emerald Fusion again. He did it like, once, and it was pretty good. It's a cool finisher, and I came up with a name that could be used for it that could fit into his gimmick- the VIP- Vertical Impact Powerslam, which is essentially what an Emerald Fusion is.

i agree, flair is in a class by himself, could this rivalry, if given a couple of years, could become the top rivalry in the WWE and not just become another one trick pony like other rivalries have been.

Dusty and Ric wrestled each other instead of having pizza eating contest and push ups and all. MVP has what it takes to be great. I believe Matt can't get any higher than the U.S. Title if he gets that.

No no no.

MAtt Hardy is not Dusty Rhodes, the reason that fued got so over was due to the promos and good god could Big Dust bring the people in with the gift of gab.

If I was to compare this to any fued it'd be Magnum TA/Tully Blanchard.

Magnum wasn't much on the mic, but the fans bought into him in-ring. Tully was all about women, cash, and the bling.

Really Magnum sucked at promos, but was awesome in the ring, in that era he could have been champ...but not really.

this fued only recently turned into a blood fued.

If only Matt had mic skills the fued would be better...I'd love to see a double turn though
