Flair's new angle: ya or nay?

[Joekishi]

If they have Flair wrestle on ECW and Smackdown aswell because vince is obsessed with it.

I'd have flair lose at wrestlemania.

I'm lovin' it. That was a very well worked match last night, considering the limitations Flair has. I mean honestly, I'm amazed that he can take a bump at 58. He's not the young technical wrestler with a penchant for brawling that fueded with Harley Race and Ric Steamboat. But he's made up for it with psychology. That match had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and brought out the 8-year old mark in me. Anyone who ever said he's never had ring psychology should watch that match.

My only complaint is about Orton. He completely no sold the knee after Flair kicked out of the RKO.

I voted undecided because while the flair match was okay last night and I was getting behind flair, I was wondering how long they could actually stretch this. I just hope it won't turn vince vs. flair II. I think the real question here is who will Flair ultimately lose to?

[Next Level was WRONG]

I wonder if they'll do a "wrestler has Flair beat but doesnt want to pin him" angle.

That could be amazing if they could find the right guy to pull it off with.

Maybe Jeff Hardy, or HHH?

[seano]

I'm gonna have to say "undecided."

It's certainly interesting and could be quite good, but I'm sure Creative will flub it up somehow.

[Mozenrath]

I want to see someone wrestle Flair, and they have him beat, and Vince is shouting for them to finish Flair off. Tears streaming down their face, the give Flair punch after punch, and just can't do it.

It kind of ruins the drama of pretty much all of his future matches. You know he's going to pull out a win somehow, at least until a big match where it's obvious he's going to lose.

That's probably true, but I'm still WOOOOO lovin' it. To say Flair has lost a step in the ring is an understatement, but the story just feels exciting. I really like it.

[BHB]

I really like it. It's given me a reason to care about Flair. Plus, every match he wrestles in theres a fifty percent chance he'll never wrestle again after!

[Lancers]

Anything's better than Ric Flair, President of WCW or Ric Flair, buried head deep in sand.

[bigjimmy]

well i like it!

and when he eventually loses he can be used as a mouthpiece for an up an commer (iff wwe can find one!)

[willywonka666]

Doesn't sound good to me. I love Flair, and now he's about to wrap up his career and we already know he will lose his last match. I just hope he isn't humiliated

[nonrev]

This is great! Clever old Ric Flair should have a lackey that comes to his matches (Haas would be perfect)

Whenever Flair looks like he's about to lose Haas would enter the ring and hit Flair thus giving Flair the win via disqualification.

At least that's what I'm hoping for.


Also putting him against Taker at Wrestlemania is probably where it's going to lead to

[Blindkarevik]

I'm definitely in favor of this.

It's a great way to keep the rest of Flair's matches special without having to involve a title.

In the back of my mind, I'm REALLY hoping Sting lets his TNA contract run out.... then, despite Sting's disdain for the WWE, hope he'll wrestle Flair at Wrestlemania for a double retirement match.

One last time together,
One last time forever.

[Joekishi]

I'd have somebody Ric Flair is intent on passing the torch to be the one to retire him.

[genesisdomino]

It's a great angle. And besides, this is rasslin'- it's not like you can't come back from a career ending match.

Unless, of course, you happen to be 58...

But seriously, I hope he never retires. Something about Flair beating the heck out of some Randy Orton just warms me a bit inside.

that will probably happen at some point. flair, tired, ready to be beat, taking a finisher, maybe twice, then realizing what was going on, would let flair pin him or tap out to him or take a countout so flair can win and stay in the wwe.

there will be a lot of school boy cradles, low blows, testicular claws, and figure fours to look forward to.

I like a the juice...
