^You need to start learning to respect Flair. Your absolutely ridculous. Flair's career has been absolutely phenominal. This match from a work rate might not be the match of the night. But if you think about all the pagentry and everything that's going to happen. Saturday night Ric Flair get's inducted to the HOF which will be an amazin event. Then at WM Flair is going to come out in what will be in all likely hood his last match and poor his heart out. Flair will work his ass off in that ring and HBK will do everything he can to make sure it's a great match. This will by no means steal anyone's money, it will be one of the most memorable matches in history. BTW since when does the color that someones skins turns in the match make a match good or bad?
Respect for veterans has a limit. Flair has absolutely no business being in the ring at his age. Heck, you know what? Age isn't really a fair measure, since Chuck Norris is 68, Arnold Schwarzenegger is 60, and look at them. Flair has absolutely no business being in the ring given his level of unfitness and untalent. Allowing him to wrestle, and WIN in ANY way, severely devalues the product. I need to learn to start respecting him? You need to learn to see when someone is over a decade past their prime. Flair isn't just a 'little rusty'. Pick anyone, ANYONE from any indy promotion you want, and that wrestler will either be on par with Flair or better. The only thing memorable about this match will be how much HBK had to carry Flair for the entire 8 minutes this match will take up because that's the longest Flair can go without passing out.
This match should've happened 8 years ago? Really Roxxi? That would put the match in the year 2000. Last time I checked HBK was still on the shelf with a broken back and drugged out of his brains at that time. Yea, I'm sure that would've been a GREAT match.
You know very well I meant that Flair should have RETIRED 8 years ago. Soooo sorry I didn't go to wikipedia and see what HBK was doing 8 years ago at this time. Pick someone else to do it then... perhaps someone who could actually USE the push, but that's a whole other issue.
Don't nitpick, it wastes both our times.
Seriously though hbkforever makes a great point. Flair has nothing to save, he's going to pore his heart out into that match. And HBK at WM is just self explanatory. There is no way that this will be a bad match. I'll say it again. This might not be the MOTN, but this will be the most remembered match of the night. When you look back on WM 24 in 10 years that will be the match you remember.
Ok, you spelled it two different ways so far, so here it is:
POUR
Get it? Good.
How will it be a great match? The fact that Flair will be trying hard doesn't somehow magically give him actual talent. The only thing we'll remember about this match is how sad it was. We'll remember how hard HBK worked carrying Flair throughout. We will remember it as a prime example of why the general public mocks professional wrestling and thinks the fans of it are idiots. And of course, when it comes to Flair slapping HBK's chest and putting him in the figure-four for five minutes, this match will be beside 'overselling' the the WWE Dictionary.
You can say it's a must-see because it's a retirement match for Flair, but don't even TRY to equate it to even a midcard match in terms of quality and talent. That's just a spit in the face to all the talent in WWE and to professional wrestling in it's entirety. This match will be on par with Hornswoggle Vs. JBL with no interference and Horny winning.
