So the only person Flair has really beat during this streak is the WWE Champion. Yeah, out of the three posibilities that makes the most sense. The Umaga one was more of a victory, no outside help, nothing illegal.

The show sounds too skeletal to really judge yet. I'll have to wait and see when details come.

He got no illegal help when Jericho just jumped on the apron Come on, Randy should know better than to get rolled up with a distraction on the apron.

You know, I was expecting this feud to be built up like a legit Rocky Balboa streak, with Flair muscling up the strength and determination to cleanly pin one superstar after another, before finally falling to a hot young star (maybe an Edge or a Punk) at Wrestlemania, and retiring into a blaze of glory. Fans crying, streamers and balloons as his gallant run comes to an end, and the sun sets of an amazing career. Instead, what is shaping up is a crappy run of fluke wins, DQs and count outs as Flair lucks out every week before inevitably getting creamed at Wrestlemania. Great booking WWE. You make me smurfing sick. if you were honestly expecting that from flair i dont know what to tell you, nearly all of his victories in the past few years have involved some sort of cheating and is usually billed as the underdog who manages to pull out a fluke if he wins against a big name, would you really prefer a guy whos old, beat up and out of shape to be beating all the biggest stars of today cleanly? it would make the whole roster look weak and would be terribly booking also there was never any chance in hell of flair letting cm punk end his streak

Raw: Orton cut a promo. Jeff Hardy ran down and hit the Twist of Fate ok so the question i have is did he really hit a Twist of Fate or was it actually a Whisper in the Wind??

Well I didn't mean Flair getting convincing wins over everyone. But perhaps squeezing out a victory after a gruelling match with Kane, or catching MVP in a small package, etc. Would make for a more emotionally interesting storyline than pathetic DQ and countout finishes. It makes Flair look like more of the pathetic old bastard character than he is already being forced to portray. i see your point but he has just faced the wwe champion, the 'unstoppable monster' that vince uses to punish his enemies, and the guy everyone hypes to be the best in the company, perhaps his future wins will be more dignified on another note; hooray for the return of raw roulette

So Matt isn't coming for revenge on MVP? he's just palling around with his brother?

This show sounds really underwhelming. And I call HHH winning the Elimination Chamber at NWO now.

-It was announced that if Triple H loses against Flair, he loses his spot in the Royal Rumble. CALLED IT! CALLED IT CALLED IT CALLED IT! GOD! Sorry. It's just that I'm never right about anything when it comes to predictions. This feels SO SMURFING GOOD! your like the guy in national treasure who is the nerdy tech guy but in the first figures something out and gloats about it forever

Okay, someone who went to the show told me that the women's title match was actually a triple threat with Melina involved as well. Also, Regal was the one who caused the DQ by hitting Flair with brass knucks. So maybe these past 2 weeks are leading to Regal vs. Trips at the rumble?

Regal vs. Trips? I'd mark.

Regal vs. Trips? I'd mark. Definitely. I hope that's where they're going with it. The winner would be pretty obvious, but they should be able to have a really good match together. I guess hitting Flair with the knucks was his way of returning to the Regal of old judging by this next set of spoilers: Anyways, here's F4wonline's full spoilers with the most details of any I've seen so far. Of course the poster seemed to interject a lot of opinion too.

They'll have the nice title of "I retired Flair" but won't boost them up too much in the fans eyes because most of us are expecting him to lose at WM24. With that said, I fear Vince himself will be the one to end it at WM24.

Why would I not be surprised if Ric got retired before WM?
Imagine the shock.
Ric going into a title match at WM with his career on the line and suddenly, some up and comer snatches all of that away.
No WM moment. No big going away party. Just a young punk with a permanent addition to their resume.
I know it won't happen, but it would be a definite shock.
