Here is another installment of "my thoughts".  And today I am talking about Ric Flair from a request of a friend of mine.  Ric Flair is known as the best wrestler that has ever set foot inside a wrestling ring.  Ric Flair is a sixteen time world heavyweight champion, the most that someone had ever got to.  Maybe the biggest achievement or the biggest thing people will remember in Ric Flair's historic career is his title wins.  Ric started in the promotion NWA and got most of his world heavyweight titles there.  He was part of the biggest stable called "The Four Horse Men".  He later went to WCW and was there through thick and thin.  He also won world titles there too.  He faced Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Dusty Rhodes, and many, many other great performers.  He faced almost every single star of his time.  He also ran the backstage side of WCW.  After WCW went to its ultimate demise, Ric came to WWE.  He brought his legacy there and preformed some more things to make his career bigger and better.  He became GM, fought for the best stable of the time that sparked two future stars of this business. He was in Evolution and partnered up with HHH, Randy Orton, and Batista.  He is called "the dirtiest player in the game" and is called the "nature boy".  My thoughts on this great superstar is this, simply he is one of the greatest stars in professional wrestling history.  He has certainly accomplished historic, monumental heights that maybe no one could recreate.  I said in another "My thoughts on" blog about HHH and that he can beat Ric flair's championship record.  He is at 12 and only needs four to tie it.  Certainly he will beat it at one time or another, so really many people will forget Flair even more.  Do I think that he is the best ever?  Well I think that he was very good, not just good but he is ONE of the best, but I have to say that he isn't the best ever.  Really the writers make stars win titles so the writers made Ric win the titles and set it as a record.  Ric is an astonishing athlete and a very great fighter but not the best.  I think that Kurt Angle is better, if not the best.  Look, he is an only Olympic gold medalist in professional wrestling history. That is something that no one else is.  That means he is the all time best, in my mind.  I don't want to make people mad or angry with my thoughts about this as I will talk about angle another time.  Ric Flair just retired this year and it was one moment that I will never forget. I saw his last match at Wresltemania and it was a very good performance that he gave.  In my mind, Ric is in the record books no doubt about it.  He is in the WWE hall of fame so simply that is worth something to the star that is in there.  Really Ric's time is over now.  I hate to see him go but he had his time and now the young stars have their chance.  No one will ever be A Ric Flair. Can anyone recreate his career? NO!  Can someone surpass his titles? YES!  But without a question in my mind, Ric Flair is like no other wrestler and there will not be another Ric Flair.  To be the man, you have to beat the man. Many people beat him, but none are or were him.  Ric had a tremendous career but it's time for the fans to move on and think back at all of the great times Ric Flair had succeeded.  That is all for "my thoughts" for today but please check back to my others and wait to see my others coming soon.  If you have any suggestions for a future "My thoughts" blog, then feel free to message me.  Anyway that is my thoughts on this topic, but what are yours?  Talk to you next time!
