Woooooooooo! with his repetitive matches, hokey flip over the turn buckle to his endless slaps on the chest... his promos where he just yelled at the top of his voice and stopping and pausing shouting random things, he was never fluent on the mic in that he didnt have a natural flow with words. I think Flair was anything but the greatest wrestler...in fact ill go as far as saying he was the most over rated ever.
I watched his ultimate ric flair dvd and i got another with his matches from japan in 95 and ill give him some credit that those matches in japan were slightly different that his usual nonsense but just about.
I like the guy the way people like the warrior...he was crazy and made no sense but still entertaining. But when people say Flair is the greatest...sorry im not having that.
Whats your thoughts?

You obviously never saw him in his prime. No one said he was amazing in the ring in the 2000s.

Flair was amazing in his prime. Also I'm a huge Hulkamaniac, but that doesn't change the fact hes greatly overrated.

Everyone is quick to say oh Flair was amazing....amazing how? by wrestling the same match over and over? Give me an Eddie Guerrero over a Ric Flair any day of the week.

No, the Guy in your sig is the most over rated ever...... I know I have Billy Gunn in my signature which is who you're alluding to, but honestly, I don't think you comprehend the definition of overrated. Nobody ever sits here and says "Billy Gunn is the GOAT!" or "They wasted Billy Gunn!" or "Billy Gunn was the performer of a lifetime!" Please elaborate on how he was overrated. Otherwise you just come off as an idiot who doesn't understand an elementary vocabulary word.

Flair most overrated? No. Hogan? Yes.
But flair is overrated and over saturated with this supposed great legacy that is only great because it was great for it's time. A time with many believing it to be real, a time where it was new and all the rage, where people were moronically easily entertained.
I love Flair, but he's not great. He's good, not great.
Now people will flame me and ask who I think is better and I could name of 10's and 10's of guys, and they'll rebutle with "They don't have the esteem, respect, or the legacy Flair has, and they never will!"
Again the only resaon he has all of that is the time he was relevant in, the title reigns meant something more then, people were easily entertained more so than today, peeps were sheep then. They're sheep now, but they were like "dee dee dee sheep" then.
Bottom line Flair most overrated ever? No, but he's certainly up there.

I like Flair, i hope im not coming across as hating on the guy but other than getting gushers every night and being extremely repetitive i struggled to be entertained by the guy in terms of his wrestling.
Its like Dusty Rhodes as well, people praise him and i never understood why. All i ever seen was a pile of flabby skin, sweat and a huge brown birth mark on his belly. Its like the american dream joke, you have to be asleep to believe it.

Billy Gunn isn't overrated. Ok? So even if there were 5 people on here who said that, that doesn't make him overrated because the majority of people DON'T think that. People on here saying Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater are so great doesn't mean that this is the consensus. It's just a few people giving their opinion. Now if you had 100 people on this forum saying that, then yeah, that is overrated. But one or two people who have that opinion does not make somebody overrated.

I don't understand how the hell Hogan is overrated. Everyone bitches about him and say he sucks.
On topic, I'm not sure if I should say Flair is overrated or not. Sure, he had a ton of talent, but he is sometimes regarded as the best professional wrestler ever, which if you ask me, he's not, so technically, in my opinion, he is indeed overrated. That may vary from one guy to another though.
