Jay Lethal vs. Ric Flair

[6.0] "WWE retired Ric Flair before he wanted to be done, so here Flair was in the ring again. It certainly wasn't on the level of Flair's classics from the NWA, but it was still okay and Flair proved that he could've easily kept going in a tag team or something instead of getting pushed into the Shawn Michaels retirement match. The only real problem with this was that Flair tapping out to the figure four seemed sudden and anticlimactic as a result."

[5.0] "If Flair is going to wrestle then he should be doing so in a consequential spot although at least he put Lethal over. This was actually pretty good as they kept it simple and Flair played the hits. It is about 3 times the match that the over blown melodramatic shit we had to sit through with HBK was."

[7.0] "If this was Ric's only match after HBK retired him I don't think people would have had an issue with it. This whole match was about a young guy who studied the greats of 80s American wrestling and imitated them showing that he had the walk to back the talk against one of those greats. Flair played the hits, Lethal kept the pace up, plenty of solid simple spots that looked good like the chops and the crossbody, though the sunset flip to pantsing spot was a little goofy. Ultimately Earl Hebner didn't let Ric get away with one last dirty trick, and the Nature Boy taps out clean to the Figure Four. Lethal didn't have a big run in TNA but this match (and the famous promo that set it up) could be considered the start of his rise in the industry. Very nice. ***1/2"

[7.0] "Was pleasantly surprised how good this was for ric flair in tna, flair doing all the usual shtick he was for 30 years but an enjoyable match"

[7.0] "Hey it was decent... well I put 7 because holy cow I didn't expect a Ric Flair 2010 straight up wrestling match to be this good ***"

[5.0] "The feud between them was quite curious and funny. I didn't expect anything grand from the match, but I was quite satisfied with how it was built. This was the first time Ric had to act against his copy, and it was fun. The child of nature did not hesitate and used dirty tricks over and over again, but the pressure of the young Lethal was higher."

[6.0] "A lot better than I expected for a Flair match in 2010. There were a few flubs like Flair anticipating a back elbow when Jay went for the Lethal Injection but nothing too major. Jay does all the heavy lifting with Flair being along for the ride and it works out quite nicely."
