1987 Flair vs 2007 Danielson = a 6 star match 2007 Flair vs. 2007 Danielson = still a possible MOTYC, MANY MANY MANY ASSES IN SEATS FOR AN INDY FED and MANY MANY MANY DVD SALES Truth. And as a fan of both men, this would probably be the one time I'd think about traveling for a wrestling match.

No way would Flair go to TNA. Unless they offer him a Sting deal.
He should just take a couple months off and just come back next year. WWE would take him back in a heartbeat.

And will be whether he's pushed or not. True, but if you've got somebody that's over, why not actually use them? Because they're 102 years old.

Freddie Blassie was headling Madison Square Garden at around 55 or so. Lou Thesz wrestled a match that a lot of people love at 72. So as much as people like to think it matters that Flair's older than everyone else on the active roster, fact is it doesn't.

Odd, considering the reports that he was soon going to start his retirement angle, and build it towards the next WrestleMania.
If he does quit, I could definitely see him at least making a cameo on TNA's two hour debut (if they give him a nice enough offer). I couldn't see him in ROH...but I would do my damndest to get tickets if he did show up. He can't go like he used to, but that'd be one of the biggest damn pops in history.

Lou Thesz wrestled a match that a lot of people love at 72. So as much as people like to think it matters that Flair's older than everyone else on the active roster, fact is it doesn't. He can't perform in the ring anymore. His moveset is ridiculously limited. Flair will stay over no matter what, and jobbing younger guys out to him will make them look like morons. They'd lose more than they'd gain from pushing Flair unless they made it clear all his wins were flukes or devious tactics or whatever.

Didn't his wife take him to the cleaners during their divorce?? I mean financially it would not make sense for him to leave WWE and go to TNA where he would make 750 bucks every other weekend.

I fully believe he's capable of doing more than he has. The reason he hasn't? Well, one, for the matches he's been in recently, he doesn't have to. The crowd will eat it up regardless. Let's face it, he's mostly been teaming with Batista in the Ricky Morton role.
He showed more offense in his singles match with Finlay recently. Give the guy something to do, something that's actually worth a damn and not "Get your ass kicked and tag in Batista" and I guarantee he'll deliver. He's still capable of delivering in big match environments. They just never put him in them.

Actually, Flai-Finlay was one of the last matches I remember seeing (I haven't been able to watch much since I started working second shift) and you're right; that was a damn good match. And these youngsters nowadays could learn a thing or two, even if the combined age of the two of them is over 100 years old; they can still go.

Can't say that I am upset, I mean he truly did need to hang it up. And there's no reason as to why he should've stuck around so long, especially if he thought he was going to get a World title run because that is beyond terrible whether you like it or not. Flair does not need the World title nor needs to win the World title one more time before he retires and using the Hogan '02 run isn't valid since 2 wrongs don't make a right. If Khali and Morrison can be champions now, anyone could and most would be an improvement. Ok, Morrison is actually talented, just not on the mic. And sure if Flair wanted to go to ECW, I'd have no problem with him being champ considering he's got absolutely no competition, still I wouldn't recommend because he's Ric f***ing Flair and don't forget how bad he was with the IC title a while back. And Khali, yes Flair is a billion light years better than Khali, but like I said before 2 WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT. Just because favoritism falls on the head of Khali becoming champ doesn't mean that Flair is owed anything because of it. He has nothing to prove to us or himself, absolutely nothing.
