Rick Flair Done After WrestleMania ?

[Hulk]

I zip through WWE shows on double or triple speed on the TIVO, but I always slow it down to realtime to watch "The Man". I have been a fan since before I ever saw him on TV, from all the Wrestling trade rags showing him in black and white photos wearing the Crimson Mask. We never saw WWWF wrestlers looking like that. He is still one of the best and most consistent performers, despite being as predictable as a clock. Not bad for a 59 year old. I still think they should have let him win another major title, even if it was for a short run. No one entertains more than Space Mountain.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Makes me feel old. I watched him and guys like Wahoo McDaniel and Paul Jones way back. I guess i AM old
Hope he does actually retire. I doubt his body could stand much more. As for The undertaker, he can't even compare to Flair.

I haven't watched wrestling in years, but Flair is a legend. I always found his schtick very entertaining.

I think if flair does retire he will still comeback once in awhile...Old wrestlers never truly retire they always come back once or twice a year.....Until they die.

[fallensaviour]

I think Flair has always jiggled like that atleast since I can remember

I gotta say,the thing he does when he gets smacked and takes a few steps and goes down is still one of the funniest things ever in wrestling

I agree that falling header is a beauty of a cool looking move.I liked it better when Greg the hammer valentine did it though...Flair copied it and now so does triple H.

its time for ric flair and the undertaker to retire. i like both and flair is definitly a legend. the undertaker is also a legend but not as big as flair.

In all fairness, the Undertaker did drop the "dead man" gimmick for a couple of years when he picked up the "biker badass" gimmick around 1997-1999.

The direction of his gimmick changed but he was still "The Undertaker" as opposed to "Mean" Mark Calloway or something else. It was a natural evolution at the time, as the WWF/E, was going more "badass" anyway. But I think most people preferred the old-school 'Taker and he eventually reverted back to that version of the persona.

I can remember Flair wrestling on TBS back in the late 70's and early 80's. After 30 some years of abuse on his body I think he deserves to retire.

The Nature Boy has been stylin and profilin for well over 20 years. I've watched other big names come and go, but Flair has hung around-the wear and tear on that guy's body and all the traveling he's done have had to take a terrible toll. Still, he puts on a show while the steroid rasslin crowd kill themselves, get injurred and can't compete, or fade away to do stupid movies trying to cash in on their rasslin fame. The Four Horsemen and the Dusty Rhodes feuds were great in the day, but The McMahon rasslin isn't even entertaining to watch anymore. I hope Flair can have a healthy life if this is the end 'cuz that is one tuff way to have made a living for as long as he did.

Closer to 40 years, he started either very late 60's or 70's, and he's in his 60's now. Let's not forget that the man survived a plane crash with a broken back!! He's not the only old time still wrestling, Terry Funk comes out of retirement once in a while and there's guys like abdullah(60's), mae young (80's), the original sheik (late 70's, since deceased) and countless others, the difference being that Flair still looks pretty good in the ring. But yeah, he's past his prime , and as the 18? time world champion he's got nothing left to prove.I hope he enjoys is retirement, he certainly deserves it WHOOOOO!

I don't care about whether Rick Flair is gonna retire or not.

I just wanna see the Big Show brake that midget Mayweather's back in two.

[BlackKnight]

I actually thought it was pretty cool,it was just stupid when he went back to the other character

Yeah,.. I guess your right now that I think about it..., it was when he went back to the other character.

Tanning beds across America should dim their bulbs for a moment of silence if that guy's retiring. Seriously though, I hear he's a nice guy. Great entertainer and showman in the ring. He will be missed. Wrastlin ain't the same as it used to be, and won't be any better off now that he's leaving. Best wishes to him and his man****.

[toys2cool]

Yeah,.. I thought Taker Jumped the Shark when He Cut his hair for the "American Bad Arse" look.
