I like Mick, dude had a career far better than it had any right to be, but he can't hold a candle to Flair in anything apart from mic ability, and even then I'd put Flair slightly above him

Flair should be last eight in this as a minimum

@2 Cold Taurus if you put Kurt vs Bret first round I'm going to neg you every single time I can until this site collapses

[Amare's Right Hook]

Foley put his body through hell (no pun) and I respect the s-hit out of him but Ric is Ric.

 

[Mr. Negative]

from our lifetime until the collapse of human civilization, whenever someone does a chop in the corner,

there'll be a "WOOOOO!" from a westerner in the audience.

im going with

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Mostly voting Flair based on sure skill, cause overall, Flair never resonated with me like others. I preferred Savage and Rude over him. Props to Foley though.

 

[904Lurker]

Not fair to Foley




Flair is my vote

 

[Riley Escobar]

 

[2CT]

these next 7 matchups are all gonna be fukkery filled so you best get ready potna

 

[Breh the HitMang]

i Honestly believe Flair is the most overrated wrestler of all time, and the only match i really enjoyed with him was vs Steamboat at Chitown rumble
but i didnt grow up in the Ric Flair era
Plus i was never a WCW guy

Foley just gave me too much memories, in the attitude era

 

[BrehWyatt]

I don't think he has it in him. We never did get that Rock/Okada matchup

Anyway... I want to say Flair on principle but in all honesty, his prime took place before I even realized I was watching wrestling when it was on.

But despite Mick Foley having literally put his whole life on the line for our entertainment ... I have not forgiven Mankind for running Undertaker the fade at King of the Ring 96.

So Naitch.

 

[luckyse7enz]

I voted for Foley out of pity and because "Have A Nice Day" was a fun read in middle school.
