Flair's debut should have been a much bigger deal. Voting Angle here.

Somewhat of a tough choice but I'm going with Angle. Such a beautiful spot especially for his age. 42 I believe if it was in 2010.

went Angle as well for the same reasons as Chris and DM.... the Flair debut, while a big deal, was just bland

For awhile at least Flair was not treated as the big deal he deserved in WWF so I too voted Kurt's moonsault.

Angle first did the moonsault off the cage against Benoit in WWE... I'm not really impressed at whatever age he did it in TNA because Terry Funk can probably still do one himself. So, I'm votin' for Ric Flair.

Actually I was expected that one to come up instead of the TNA version.

Not sure how you can mark out for a moonsault that hurts the guy doing the moonsault more than the guy he lands on.

Would have went with Angle if it was the one he did in WWE off the cage but since it isn't going with Flair's debut even though I agree it could have been done better all things considered.

I was expecting the one from WWE as well, if it was that one I probably would have voted for it because that first time was a true mark out moment as you never expected it. This time you expected it to happen. Went for Flair, NWA stalwart for close to two decades crossing over to WWF was huge.

Is that not the appeal of high risk moves that you are putting your body on the line while trying to finish the other guy?

Ok let me rephrase. I'm not sure how you can mark out for a moonsault that connects and does more damage to the guy making the move then the guy that he actually connected with. Anderson didn't sell the move at all while I thought Kurt was going to die. Completely ruins the ability for me to mark out

Not surprised that Anderson ruined what should have been a great moment. That said its still better than seeing Flairs wrinkly, flabby, should not be anywhre near the business 100 year old body whoring itself out for more money to pay for his latest losses.

When someone breaks out onto the WWF/E scene, we (or at least I) expect a larger than life debut, but no. It was the same old Flair we've seen for years, and that's really saying something since it was 1990 maybe 91 or 2. It's hard to think back that far. His character was stale even back then.

The Angle moonsault was pretty impressive, simply due to the fact it came from someone who before then was "just an Olympic wrestler". Noone would have ever seen that shit coming, and I :mark:'d the fuck out for it.

The hell are you talking about before then was "just an olympic wrestler" He'd attempted the moonsault numerous times (more often than not failing) But pulled off the same move against Benoit as stated so it wasn't exactly new.
