buffybeast 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 He should have retired in 1997...2002 at the latest. Four years ago, I could say some good things about the man. He still looked like Ric Flair and he was still moving around the ring pretty well. Pretty well. He wasn't exactly tearing the house down...he was just having solid matches. I hate it when Chris Masters sells his grandpa chops. Two, these people (i.e. Mick Foley and HHH) who talk about how great Flair's ring work has been since 2003 must be watching another television program. Whenever I turn on RAW, I see an old man who is winded, sloppy, can't get up for a lot of bumps, doesn't know how to take modern wrestling moves, and a lot of the time, just plain lost. Watch him work with somebody like Shelton Benjamin. Shelton has to slow his game down by about 50% just so that Flair can keep up, and even then Flair doesn't know how to take 90% of his repetoire. It's pathetic. Nobody should wrestle past the age of 50. As much as I love Flair, I have to concur with this statement. His chops look old, ineffective and retarded. He moves really slow and looks as if every step he makes hurts. He looks like a really old man. Flair said in a recent interview that the divorce is taking a huge toll on his financial status. Flair noted that he cannot live the lifestyle he is accustomed to because half of his fortune is going to Beth. So yes, he is going to be wrestling for a while.

Just John 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 I don't get how he couldn't earn a paycheck as a manager or road agent. Just because he can't wrestle, doesn't mean he has to leave the wrestling business. The fact is, he's bringing nothing to the table on Raw as an active talent, and with as shallow as the Raw talent pool is these days, that's saying a lot.
