716.05.2025Moranjeboom7.0Ric Flair obviously a legend of the game, no question about it. He's a little hard to swallow these days, but at least he isn't wrestling (much anyways). The bulk of stuff I've seen of him was mid 2000s WWE, which is obviously him a little past his peak but the character work was still outstanding

1013.05.2025Rassle Fan7.0He's worked very hard to damage his legacy. From finding out just how much of a sex predator he was, to wrestling so far past his prime that people thought he actually died in the ring in his final match (to date). He had no choice but to keep going because of how much debt he's in. In his day he was a great bumper, seller, promo, and capable or doing some fundamental moves very well He wasn't a great technician and was rather sloppy at times but he did have the chops and and underrated working punch.
1106.05.2025xTheRevoltingBlobx10.0This kayfabe Letzter Mensch, a barren and decadent Onegin in alligator shoes, lived the stylin' and profilin' life as the perfect foil for every virtuous babyface from Greensboro to Tokyo. Emerging from limousines behind arenas or helicopters landing at midfield, he unfolded in lavish suits, gold chains, Helvetian timepieces, and, of course, the ever-present gators. Later, when the house lights dimmed and the fog machines churned under swirling neon, he emerged in a phantasmagoria of sequined opulence. Aptly, this last prophet of the territories entered to "Thus Spake Zarathustra." Take this title from me--bring forth the Übermensch, he seemed to dare them. Yet few Übermenschen ever appeared who could put more than a momentary dent in Flair--and that was by design. While he is most know for the 4 Horseman, his dominance echoed the era of the Gold Dust Trio and the wrestling "trust": with Arn Anderson as his enforcer in the mold of Toots Mondt, and JJ Dillon as his shifty, string-pulling Billy Sandow. Dillon--always able to "get word to the promoter"--helped Flair dodge challengers, duck losses, and stay just slippery enough to draw heat without breaking credibility. Arn loomed nearby to "protect that title, " whether by distraction, chair shot, or the timely spinebuster. It was this ecosystem that let Flair tour the territories and elevate the local babyface in every town. The traveling champion--oldest trick in the book--and Flair did it with modern flair befitting the end of an era. Though never a high-flier or technical wizard, Flair was an athlete in the truest sense: with unmatched cardio, uncanny timing, and a genius for ring psychology. He could go the distance in the Royal Rumble, or do 60-minute broadways with Sting, Windham, or Luger. His moveset was limited, but it didn't matter--his Figure-Four Leglock was iconic, a finisher that carried full storylines built around its counters, reversals, and lingering damage. He was also a tremendous seller, whether collapsing face-first like a felled tree or flipping out of the turnbuckle and landing on the floor with cartoonish agony. His performances teetered between drama and absurdity, and he knew exactly how far to push either. Whatever bravado he spit in pre-match promos--slick-haired, Rolex-tapping, custom-suit-sneering--was soon lost in the rat-bastardry of his in-ring style. Every Ric Flair match had its fingerprints: the begging off, the chop block to the knee, the eye poke behind the ref's back, the strategic powder to the floor. All of it carefully calibrated to draw heat and preserve his reign. Ric Flair was the last of his kind--a true traveling champion, not just across territories but around the world. As the long-tenured standard bearer for the NWA and Jim Crockett Promotions, his run through the '80s and early '90s presented a complex heel: cowardly, arrogant, conniving--but charismatic, sharp-tongued, and impossible to ignore. The Ace of all aces. The terminarch of the territories. The last true world champion: Ric Flair.

1529.04.2025JediSaiyanMaster120310.0For me, the greatest professional wrestler of all time and my personal favorite. He is the undisputed GOAT in my eyes, a throne that will never be dethroned no matter who comes along. No matter how good you may be, you'll never be Ric Flair level in my eyes. Here you have a man who was the perfect wrestler and checked every box. In the ring? Ric Flair was so ahead of his time, that his style is considered "basic" by today's standards. But don't let that fool you, he was an incredible storyteller, a master of having long winded matches in his prime, always wanting to go 60 minutes every week. He's a master of selling and working, the man could do it all in the ring, he could even make his inferior opponents look good. Having iconic and legendary matches with Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Terry Funk, Sting, Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, Triple H, Barry Windham, Jumbo Tsuruta, Kerry Von Erich, Ricky Morton, and countless others I could name, he has fought, just about, everyone you could name during his prime. On the microphone? The amount of iconic catchphrases he's created that are still being used by millions of wrestling fans, even used by wrestlers. Hell, other athletes and rappers use them, this man's legacy is far beyond professional wrestling, one of the biggest names of all time just for his promos alone. This man took bragging to a whole new level, so much that you love to hate him despite he was rubbing it in that he's rich and that he can get any girl he wanted, and he could outwrestle anyone you put him in the ring with. He is the ideal cocky heel that has inspired generations upon generations and still has his influence all over today's wrestling. Character work? He is the prototype of what a wealthy heel should be, dressing nice, bragging about his wealth, and oozing confidence, how many heels are like this that you can count? Exactly. Flair was a master at "The Nature Boy" gimmick, despite he got it from Buddy Rogers, but he perfected it and made it his own that people associate the nickname with him more, from historians to modern fans, people think of Ric Flair when they hear "The Nature Boy." Don't even get me started on charisma, this guy is one of those wrestlers that could read a phone book and would make it entertaining, he was very funny and full of great insults and one liners, people still use the "Woo" catchphrase to this day, in and out of professional wrestling. And how can I not mention The Four Horsemen? A faction so legendary, many have tried to capture the magic of this group and still come up short, a faction that showed how a heel faction should be, featuring talented men who all did their roles perfectly and knew how to generate heel heat. While I could go on and on about Ric Flair, I'll stop here and conclude with this. Overall, Ric Flair is the prototypical professional wrestler in my eyes, the man did everything in his career from longevity, being a great world champion, having legendary matches that still hold up 30-40 years later, promos that are still remembered to this day, there's too many reasons to consider Ric Flair the goat in my eyes that I feel he warrants a 10, anything lower is a travesty despite he might not appeal to some fans these days for his antics outside the ring or for overstaying his welcome or not appreciating the older style of wrestling. While I get those issues and even side with them, I can't lie to you and say he isn't the GOAT. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

1726.04.2025ChuongNguyen10.0Becky Lynch may have been the Man, but she can never beat the Man! Ric Flair oozes manliness with his bombastic energy, his playboy demeanor, and the robes that make him look like a million bucks. He is a force of nature - that is why they call him the Nature Boy.
1822.04.2025Ph4se0ut10.0There is absolutely no way in hell that the legend The Nature Boy Ric Flair is deserving of anything less than a 10. This man is the epitome of professional wrestling sports entertainment, and he is undeniably entertaining. Love him or hate him, you have to admit that he entertained the shit out of you. His look, his ability, his promos, just his overall aura are the stuff of legend and what others aspire to. Off the top of my head- this man's late WCW promos directed at Eric Bischoff upon returning to WCW after being suspended are some of the most powerful and emotional promos I have ever seen in wrestling period. I'll never forget them and they in particular were a real turning point in my view of Ric Flair (and pro wrestling in general) as being a bonafide master of the art that is pro wrestling and playing a character role. The man is one of a kind and a gift to us fans, and I can't thank him enough for the many, many years that he's entertained us. They really don't get any better than The Nature Boy Ric Flair.
1906.04.2025ICtheFourthColour10.0Also Sprach Zarathustra is somehow underrated amongst fans but believe it - this is one of the greatest ring songs of all time for one of the greatest of all time. Ric Flair could be the most consistent wrestler of the last quarter of the 20th century. Flair was the cornerstone of NWA, Jim Crockett Promotions, and World Championship Wrestling during this time period. Flair had a helluva short yet high quality and impact run in WWF in the early 90s, with highlights such as capturing the coveted 1992 Royal Rumble and along with it the WWF title, as well as a "banger" of a match with Macho Man Randy Savage in the Hoosier Dome at Wrestlemania 8.

2530.03.2025MingROHGuy10.0WOOOOO - Ric Flair ist der Best of All Time! In den 70ern - 90ern revolutionierte er das Wrestling und gewann auch völlig verdient 16x das große Gold (Eigentlich ja öfters, aber naja). Und auch seine Performance in der WWE in den 2000ern war für sein Alter einfach nur unglaublich!

3706.03.2025AttitudeAggression10.0One of the people you envision when talking about a pro wrestler's image. A huge hole would be put in the wrestling world if Ric Flair stopped wrestling at the beginning of his career. Ric Flair has had so many legendary rivalries, matches and promos and has inspired som many of the greats that he later influenced. Super charismatic and knows how to make the most out of his skills and opponents.

4921.01.2025jesuissasha10.0He is GOAT. I just can't imagine who would give grades below a 10. They probably only saw Ric in the 00s. The man's charisma, the man's skill, the man gives 100% in the ring. The greatest.

5422.12.2024neuuwave7.0Definitely an icon of the industry and was a star of his time. But i do think he's a tad bit overrated for his early works (was still an amazing wrestler don't get me wrong). Also not a big fan of his work past '04/05. For me the age started to show around that time and while i still enjoyed his character his in-ring stuff got very boring to me. An icon of the industry and a legend of now & then but just didn't know when it was truly time to hang it up IMO.
5521.12.2024perconflncns10.0There probably isnt a better heel in the history of pro wrestling than ric flair, the influence flair had on heel wrestlers after him cant be overstated. Little things like the way he over exaggerated his opponents moves and would flee to the outside constantly and act cowardly, these are all common tropes for heels in modern wrestling and flair was one of the first to do it. One of the greatest promos of any wrestler ever, high technical in ring ability, one of the most iconic looks ever, ric flair is the blueprint for what a great wrestler is and should be

6026.11.2024AceHagann8.0A star of his time. While now one can think he always was just an old man barely getting by in the ring, he once was an amazing performer. He knew his strengths in the ring and played to them greatly, while also delivering amazing promos in a consistent basis.
6117.11.2024WWFan8.0One of the greatest ever but at the same time one of the most overrated ever as well. He was never on the level of Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart or a dozen other guys off the top of my head in that ring.

6315.11.2024ItsAllAWorkAnyway10.0Ric Flair is a legend. Through the '80s and early '90s, he was the great heel champion that everyone wanted to see get his comeuppance. Even as his days in the main event became numbered, he could still entertain the audiences with his outlandish promo style. When even non-wrestling fans can identify the "Woo! " with Ric Flair, then you know he transcends wrestling as a pop culture icon.

6818.10.2024Its Clobbering Time10.0Wooooo! The Nature boy Ric Flair has hit all. The look, fashion, promos, in ring, charisma, he is gifted at everything that makes a professional wrestler great. He is one of the best athletes in any sport of all time. He Wrestled for 36 years full with a full time schedule, his love for the business is undeniable. His Charisma and promo ability is up there with the best. He's tied for the most World Championships of all time with John Cena at 16x. He is the most influential wrestler of all time and has changed the business how as we know today. From his time in NWA, to WCW and finally the WWE he has cemented himself as a legend and one of the best to ever do it.

7209.10.2024face painted legend10.0Built different. That is the best way to describe Ric. I don't think there has ever been another athlete alive, let alone professional wrestler alive who had the god given genetics that Ric had. To work for as many years as he did, 36 total I believe full time (1972-2008), to do all of the world wide traveling he did (especially when he was the world heavyweight champion), take all of the punishment that his body took, being in the ring all of the hours literally that he was in the ring for, and to still be able to walk around as a fully functional human being is unreal. It is almost super human. Couple that with the fact that if you make a list of everything that it takes to be a great pro wrestler -- looks, fashion sense, promos, in ring performance, charisma, character work, etc. , he is one of the guys who was not just gifted with every single thing that would be on the list, but was able to have it or do it at a very high level. You could argue he's at the top of the list in a lot of those categories. Also, without question, my favorite world champion of all time. There will never be another like him, ever.
7304.10.2024Wrestling Forever 9.0Genaue Infos ob es stimmt ist jetzt nicht klar aber sein bürgerlicher Name soll Phillips sein. Seine Adoptiveltern sind schon Jahre verstorben. Angeblich starb 2000 sein Adoptivvater und 2003 seine Adoptivmutter. Das findet man im Internet. Ich weiß das es viele Skandale hatte aber im Ring war er lange in seiner Prime echt einer der besten Wrestler der Welt und auch in seiner WWF und dann WWE Zeit war er super. Die WCW Zeit hatte wie in anderen Ligen auch Hoch und Tief.
7402.10.2024Aliiadwana10.0 
7527.09.2024dangfoolian10.0An all time great, despite the plane ride from hell, the alcoholism and public drunkenness, the debt problems, the endless shilling for "Woooooo! " branded products, allegedly yelling in a blind woman's face... wait why am i giving this guy a perfect 10? Oh yeah, his program with Steamboat. The fantastic rivalries with Savage. Being the standard bearer for non-northern style wrestling for so long. Nature Boy's great, just uhhhhhhhh ignore the recent stuff.
7624.09.2024ChopChopChop10.0 
7719.09.2024jsborts10.0Not going to grade on a curve because he's a truly bad person; however, he is undeniably one of the most well rounded wrestlers of all time and was great through several different eras in several different companies. Hard to tell the story of wrestling in America without Ric Flair, and he has the catalogue of matches to go with it.
7813.09.2024Aquila Heliaca8.0 
7905.09.2024Lerds9.0 
8004.09.2024OneSuddenBOOM9.0One of, if not the greatest heel of all time, when you think of the NWA, you think of Ric Flair, the big gold, Ric Flair. His bumps were iconic and he always managed to make opponents look credible. A massive draw, and an even bigger name. A main eventer wherever he went and someone who will always be mentioned when it comes to the wrestling mount Rushmore conversation. It is a shame however that he continued to wrestle into his elderly years, where you could clearly see he was not fit for it anymore, I just hope that he doesn't further attempt to tarnish such a great legacy.
8102.09.2024nothingleftinside10.0Potentially the greatest ever, which is a hard thing to say, but if you're going to have to pick just one wrestler who is the greatest ever, you'd probably pick Ric. Likely the most influential wrestler of all time as well, plenty of the greats who came after him cite hin as an influence, e.g. Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin. Best promo of all time? Certainly in the top 3, but not a bad choice for #1. Best in the ring? I don't think so, but he was solid for a very very long time, even though later in his career he essentially had just one match that he did. The number of long matches he had in the 70s and 80s is certainly worth noting. Best gimmick of all time? Certainly one of the most enduring, lots of catchphrases, the strut, the clothes, the rolexes. Definitely lived his gimmick harder than anyone else out there. He also had an extremely long career, in which he was effective for most of it, and on top for a lot of it. Might be an A across the board- on the mic, in the ring, and for gimmick.

8420.08.2024wrestlingswiftie10.0An example of a perfect wrestler. He could talk you into any building, make his opponents look like a million bucks, and he could sell like no other. The only legitimate criticism you can have for Flair is that he rambled a lot in his promos, which is a trait that you learn to love when you look past it! And of course, there's the heat he has outside of the ring. You can't change that. But allegations aside, he was the exact definition of "living the gimmick." -- for better, or for worse. He is someone you must know as a wrestler, and must watch as a fan.

8711.08.2024Trombek Kushinika10.0The GOAT? I used to think so but I've soured on him a little recently. I don't think Ive ever seen him had a bad match and his work has certainly stood the test of time. Classics with Sting, Steamboat Funk etc helped shape the industry. Solid at both heel and babyface - although most prefer him as heel. Him being a bit of an idiot of side of the ring and his refusal to hang up the boots for a good 20+ years after his prime are what would prevent him being classed as the greatest in my eyes. Still a 10 though.

9329.07.2024Zak2210.0Flair is a tricky one to rate. He was at times a formulaic, 5 spots of doom merchant....but when you're traveling to a new audience every week...it isn't as big an issue. At his best flair had some of the greatest matches ever, he was fast and athletic, he portrayed aggression and desperation brilliantly and he was the best wrestler around. His matches with Steamboat, Vader, Funk and so on, all rightfully have a place in history.
9428.07.2024CMFunk00710.0Holy shit, this guy is the greatest of all-time. His promos were intense and sometimes hilarious. His in-ring work was great. MY favorite recurring bit was him shoving the referee and the referee shoving him to the ground. Bret Hart and Cactus Jack have been critical of Flair over the years, but I don't agree with their criticisms. Flair started in the '70s, but I didn't know him until 1985 when he formed the Four Horsemen with Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, J.J. Dillon, and Tully Blanchard. Once the original Horsemen run was done, including stints by Lex Luger and Barry Windham, Flair got into a feud with Ricky Steamboat that produced some of the greatest matches of all-time. Then, the feud with Terry Funk was my all-time favorite feud, bringing in Sting as his ally and Great Muta as his rival. When Flair kicked Sting out of the Horsemen with Ole and Arn, I felt the devastation thanks to Flair's mafia-like promo. Then, he went to the WWF, adopted Mr. Perfect as his advisor, and began a feud with Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan. Flair and Undertaker attacking Hogan on the Funeral Parlor was one of my favorite childhood memories. He also had a great feud with Randy Savage and won one of the best Royal Rumbles in history to win the belt by eliminating Sid Vicious. Mr. Perfect beat Flair to send him back home to WCW and he reformed the Horsemen with The Anderson and...Paul Roma? Geez. He then returned at the end of the year to beat Vader in a great match and the his feud with Hogan in WCW made him lose a retirement match in 1994, only to return in 1995. But, during the Monday Night Wars, I feel like Flair was at his best in leading WCW against the New World Order and later his bitter, personal feud with Eric Bischoff. Towards the end of WCW, he wasn't given the greatest material, but ultimately returned to the WWF and beat the owner, Vince McMahon, to take control of the company. He eventually joined Evolution with Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista before being retired again by Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania. He made appearances in TNA to feud with Hogan again. IMO< he's had the greatest career in the history of wrestling.

9624.07.2024A 6410.0The GOAT of wrestling, the most accomplished man of wrestling, the most complete career of wrestling, the most complete wrestler of wrestling. Simply the perfect wrestler.
9724.07.2024Willie 192008.0He is easily considered one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time, but he doesn't know when to put the boots up. He wrestled 17 matched after his original retirement match. Not to mention he already wants to wrestle again. He needs to accept that he's in his 70's and needs to stop. But his career before that was amazing, he was once known as the greatest wrestlers in North America. not to mention he's a 16 time world champion. overall good wrestler but needs to call it quits.
