I recently heard interviews with Flair and Hart on liveaudiowrestling.com and I thought this was a very interesting topic of who do you think was better? I won't say if this is based on wrestling, entertainment, or careers... I'll let you decide but I'd like to see a choice and why... My choice would definitely be Ric Flair - great charisma, promos, a lengthy career, and at such an old age, whether he was being carried or not, the man can still go! My opinion on Hart is that he is just kinda boring (Yet Benoit was my favorite wrestler of all time - don't know if that even makes sense!). I thought Hart's promos were horrible, and I know he was a great wrestler, but, just to compare, I'm sure Matt Hardy could be a great wrestler if given the same push, but I don't see Matt ever getting past mid-card status. Plus, I also think Hart's ego is ridiculous and the way he always nags about not wanting to tarnish his career by involving himself with the current WWE makes him looks like he thinks he is above everybody...

Bret Hart, he was amazing in the ring and knew when to hang em up. He only hung them up because he was forced to due to Goldberg's dumbass......

Bret Hart.
He could have a great match with anyone, respected his legacy and the business enough to know when it was time to walk away. I don't think i could say the same about Ric Flair.

Bret Hart and Ric Flair are two mainstays of this business. Both come from very different generations and very different styles and how to conduct yourself within the business. That's what it comes down to really. Both acknowledge in their books feelings about the other that are less than positive but both also openly state they came from two different time periods and thus learned different things.
It's really nothing personal and really nothing but comparing one's apples to one's oranges. They are just two different beasts, doesn't make either right or wrong.

The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Bret has been my second favorite wrestler my whole life.

Also, because of the generation, most ppl on this board should or would be saying Bret Hart because they saw him in his hey day and it's nothing compared to seeing him on DVD. You can see Flair's best matches on DVD but unless you were there during that time period and really felt what Flair was putting out there, it can't be the same as someone who grew up with Flair.

Another one of these this person or that person polls..
I don't really care for any of them. Never really got to watch Bret that much so I guess Flair. Flair is pretty boring though, I just like him more as a heel manager getting beat up.

How would most of this board not see Hart during the late 90s?

I grew up with both and I vote Bret Hart by a mile and to be honest its not even close. Bret was a far far better in ring performer than Flair ever was. People on here act like to be a "true" wrestling fan you have to say Flair is the greatest of all time.
Its a total personal choice while I have never been a Flair fan I can appriciate what he has done for wrestling and can see why people like him, But for me he is the most over rated performer in wrestling history and I really mean that.
