Just Call Kurt Angle A Legend

[Christian]

Compare Kurt Angle to Ric Flair if you want to see how much of a "legend" Kurt Angle really is.

 

[Beast Of Wrestling]

Ric Flair is over rated.

Sixteen world championships say otherwise.

You guys gotta be insane if you think Kurt Angle is in the same breathe as Ric Flair. Seriously, Ric Flair did more before you guys were born than kurt angle has acomplished in his career. He made the NWA championship what is was. He had a company on his back. Flair was a main eventer for almost 30 years. I'd like to see how anyone can compare ric flairs 30 year career to kurt angles 5 year career. I dont even think Kurt Angle is in Bret Harts league yet.

Kurt Angle Was Wrestling for 9 Years but that still can't compete with Ric Flair

Ric Flair is over rated.

Wow, someone just lost a lot of credibility.

Ever seen his matches with Steamboat? How about Tatsumi Fujinami? Do you even know who Tatsumi Fujinami is? How about his matches with Jumbo Tsuruta? Sting? Terry Funk? Harley Race? Wahoo Mcdaniel?

I'm guessing not. Now, I won't just blurt out that Flair is the greatest of all time. But if someone were to actually consider and review all possibilities, he could be the one that IS the best. He isn't overrated in any sense, and if for some outlandish reason you think he is, the least you could do is back it up. Thanks.

People talk about him to much. He should be inducted into the Hall of Fame and retire. Instead of making him face someone who is completely useless such as Khali...

Well, you kinda just changed around everything you just said. You went from saying he's overrated to saying he should retire (which I agree with). So...do you really think he's been overrated throughout his career or just think he should retire now? Or both??

How does facing the Great Khali NOT make him a legend? You didnt answer the question. "people talk about him so much??" Yeah, And???
Just because he's wrestling past him prime, doesnt take away what he's accomplished, if anything we should appreciate flair even more. He's still great on the mic, and can help the younger guys out. Ric Flair deticated his life to wrestling, and this is the thanks you give him?

 

[xtremebadass]

You can't call him a legend, he is still a roughly young man. Sure you can call Pre-Hall of Fame Ric Flair a legend, because he is old. Angle, sure all of his resume' is HOF material, but calling him a legend now would be a little premature, see what happened with Benoit? Who knows.

Both. I think he should retire that way people wouldn't talk so much. All that everyone mentions is 16 time champ. Nothing else really...

Umm no offense, but everyone talks about his feud with Steamboat, his first title win over Harley Race, his legacy with the Four Horsemen, and really the way basically single handedly kept NWA alive in the 80's.

I think you could have missed the boat on Flair somewhere along the line...

 

[Montana]

he's "just" 16 time world champ?? Come on, when you've won the world belt 16 times, the mid card and tag belts dont matter.
