And whenever Flair was a heel champion he was only champ to promote guys like Hogan or Warrior to take the title away from him.
Yes, i do remember Flair mainly as a coward, and the fact that he has so many titles is a sad joke, cause he simply wasnt that good.
Punks gimmick is 'the best in the world' and right now the only thing where he shows he is the best in the world in is running away and hiding behind others.
Man..okay I respect your opinion, but in my books Slick Ric is one of the best ever. You talk about Hogan and the Warrior, but I'm talking Flair in his prime. You know how long did it take Luger, Garvin, Steamboat or Sting to get the belt off Flair? I know when it did, it was HUGE news that made the main stream media and sold out gigantic stadiums. But the people who took the strap off Ric couldn't draw as much as The Nature Boy so he got the strap back quick. Not bad for a guy whose best move is a chest chop and a whoooooo. Or how during a promo he could get the entire crowd into it and say whoooooo when he did, with a massive horsemen following that would dress up in suits and sit in the crowd. "Space Mountain" "The Limo Riding Jet Flying...." "To Be the Man, You got to Beat the Man" Tons more....So I don't understand how anyone can say his promos were weak and only said "whoooo?" They're legendary.
He wasn't a muscle bound freak of nature, but he was what everybody strives to be today in this industry.
