Not bad for an old guy.
Now that Flair says he’s officially retired — if we believe him — the debate resumes: is Ric Flair the greatest wrestler of all time?
He’s right up there. His face is carved on the Wrestling Mount Rushmore next to Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, and The Rock.
Rank them however you like. I’ll go:
- Steve Austin
- Flair
- Hogan
- The Rock
Woo.
1. Ric Flair
