Flair is not either the best wrestler ever or the best worker ever...I've never understood the hype that surrounded Ric Flair. His matches are incredibly repetitive, so are his promos...come on, enough about your "high life" already Ric. Granted, he has had a few good matches(Steamboat) and some good promos as well, but the best ever? No chance in hell. When I think of the best ever, I think of guys that incorporate something new into every match, getting the fans hooked every night. Guys that bust their asses to make it worth it for not only the company, but the fans as well.
In my opinion better workers/wrestlers than Ric Flair are:
Owen Hart-He could cut a hell of a promo, got the fans into his character and was a tremendous wrestler. Total package right here.
Dynamite Kid-Superb wrestler, one of the best ever, he busted his ass for the fans. Didn't even attempt promos, his actions spoke for him.
Chris Benoit-Same as Dynamite Kid, he will go down in the history books as one of the best technical wrestlers ever.
Bret Hart-Say what you will about him half-assing house shows, he was a great wrestler and super at promos as well.
Mick Foley-It's all been said before, he worked so hard for his spot and it payed off. One of the best talkers ever, and one of the best wrestlers.
