Who should Flair have his last match with?

Ricky Steamboat.

I've never QFT harder than now.

Seriously, both of them can still be entertaining. I would love to see this.

I say Randy Orton, and my reasoning is pretty simple. If Flair is going go out losing, who better to sacrifice his legend to then the Legend Killer himself? If they acknowledge the fact that it's Flair's last match, the crowd would be going crazy, especially at a big PPV (let's say WM 24). Orton would benefit so much from it, and Flair doesn't have anything to lose at all.

although it will never happen, STING!

[I Graduated Warrior University]

I don't know who his last match should be against, but if he doesn't win the match by FINALLY landing a top rope cross body I'll be super-pissed!

[The Peoples Elbow]

An alternate reality bearded flair.

[Avalanche Alvarez]

Snitsky!

No one else voted Snitsky?!

It has to be either Dusty or Steamboat. Flair has been very graceful to the point where he's a joke. I think they need to start a fued between Flair and Elijah, where Elijah convinces him to retire after beating him x amount of times.

Flair's about to walk out, then either Dusty or Steamboat comes out and says that Flair can't leave yet. Flair says that he should leave because he's all out of steam. Then his old foe tells him that he can't let Flair possibly leave before they have one more match...at the granddaddy of them all, Wrestlemania. Elijah tells Flair not to, he's too old, but Flair gets persuaded by the fans.

Granted, this should all be around No Mercy time. The weeks leading to Wrestlemania, Elijah keeps trying to talk Flair out of it. Flair doesn't give in, cause if the wheelin' dealin' son of a gun is going out, it's gonna be in style at Wrestlemania baby WHOOOOOO!!!!

At WM, Elijah comes out to be on Flair's opponent's side. He keeps trying distract Flair, and the ref finally catches him and throws him out, popping the fans. If Flair faces Dusty, Dusty goes to the outside and gives Elijah a bionic elbow on his way back, eliciting an even bigger pop from the already riled fans. Half an hour later (after they tear the roof off old school style), the match is over, the two men hug, and we have another Wrestlemania moment, Flair's retirement.


There, I got a heel over on Flair's way out and provided something all Flair fans would love. crap, WWE, why haven't you called me back yet? Don't worry, you can take this idea for free. At least it would make your program watchable.

If you think a thirty minute match between Flair and another old dude would be "watchable," you have your wires crossed, sir.

Although other than that, it is a good idea.

I forgot to mention (because I thought it was implied) that those two would need to train starting nowish to get into prime shape for WM. Steamboat/Dusty would wrestle at OVW, and Flair keeps in shape on SD.

It would be the show-stealer of WM, and I know it. I think it should go on longer than 30 minutes, maybe 45 or an hour, just to tell an excellent story in the ring. Elijah's hijinks would keep the ADD portion of the crowd occupied and while there wouldn't be any "spots" Flair knows how to keep the crowd into a long match. Newer wrestlers don't. Tons of near-finishes, emotional selling, all the stuff of years past in there.
