OK, well these polls usually come down to Hogan or Austin. But now that we are all filled with the emotions of Wrestlemania and Flair's Farewell, let's see how the Nature Boy does!

Flair really helped put the business on the map. Close between Hogan and Flair. Flair however recieves my vote due to respect, and the class of Ric Flair
Whoooooooooooooooooo!!

I'm not sure I would vote for anyone on that list. I love Undertaker, but I don't think he is the best. Flair is one of them, but I don't think he is THE best.

He wouldnt have because most people here didnt live through much of Flair at all. They are the newer generation and from what they saw of Flair was probably his late WCW run onto his WWE run. Whether people want to admit it, Flair is the greatest all around wrestler of all time.

They normally go down to HBK and Flair and or Angle.
I've never seen Hogan or Austin make it.
Anyway I still think it is HBK. Flair is till second and they are well above angle. However Angle is nowhere near any of the other competitors. I give HBK an A+ Flair an A and Kurt Angle a B+ no one else is above a C+. Chris Benoit was a C+.
I have always thought HBK is the best and since Flair is retired no one has a chance of beating him. Angle didn't make any big changes and didn't do anything new. HBK brought Highflying to the US. Flair's promos and stamina were unmatched in the bussiness.

I have always said that Ric Flair is the greatest of all time. No one can be compared with him.
Shawn Michaels is behind him in a distant second though.

Even old school fans will have a hard time choosing Flair or Hogan. Hell, Hogan was a much bigger draw and Hart was a better wrestler. So... Flair really ISN'T the greatest in any field. Maybe longevity... but he was more of a stooge the last half decade rather than a star. Let's face it, Flair hasn't been a STAR since 1995.
1994 - Hogan came to WCW and became the Star of the company. Flair struggled for a bit, but by the time NWO came into path Flair was very far from the spotlight.
1996-2000 - Flair who?
2001-2007 (late) - Flair was mostly a stooge and a comedy relief, barely any serious Flair moments. Got a descent push towards the end.
Face it, since 1995 Flair hasn't been The Man. I don't really see what all the sadness is all about in regard to his farewell.

I wouldn't say Flair is the best of all time, and honestly I don't know that I'd say that about anyone on the list.

hogan will never get the respect he deserves for doing what he has done in wrestling. he was the first wrestling celebrity. he helped bring in a hollywood/mtv audience with cindy lauper and piper, he brought a new style of shorter matches to the forefront which in turn fueled shows like saturday nights main event, and is still seen today. he was so charismatic with his facial expressions and body movements that he always had the crowd in the palm of his hand. directly due to hogan and vince's teamwork, wrestling IS as big as it is today no matter how many people hate him and for whatever reasons. PLUS all that he has done for the fans and charities in his heyday. many times i have heard of him signing for hours past the allotted time. NOBODY was as fan friendly as hogan, in fact, ive heard reports of guys like michaels, batista, and even flair himself being downright unpleasant. i will always believe hogan to be number 1. but he will never get the flair sendoff he deserves because, 1) triple h, michaels, and taker dont respect him, 2) even though he still receives the largest pops on the show, when he isnt on tv, the crowd is so fickle that they will let others' opinions sway them, most of whom are smarks who i have no respect for. flair absolutely deserved a king's sendoff, but hogan deserves the same. no matter what, i dont see how you can argue for anyone being greater, so I could see a tie for first. but he will never get a proper sendoff because the big aforementioned 3 would boycott. im not sure what taker's problem is, since he lost 2 world titles to the taker, but trips has always disrespected him just because he is a flair fan, and michaels and hogan's history is well documented as is my opinion of the outcome. he has friends and he will always have his hulkamaniacs, but he will forever be blocked from his appropriate sendoff. that is, unless the fantasy fishing league really takes off.
