Best Wrestler Alive Tourney 3rd Round --- Ric Flair vs. Bret Hart

[Dusty Bake Activate]

I gotta go with Hitman but it’s close. Hitman not being a racist was the determining factor.

Close matchup but gotta go with Bret. Flair is the better talker and personality but Bret has better wrestling skills and matches. This prolly the closest match this round.

EVERYONE knows who Flair is. 5 star classics in multiple DECADES. MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLD promos.

objectively, Flair is top 4. mount rushmore.

id expect this level of smark from reddit, not thecoli.

but but but 97 bret!


the WON meltzer award for best wrestler of the year is literally named after Flair

This tournament been anything but smarky breh Punk Omega Bryan all got tossed in the first round, Triple H went over 2 flippy guys back to back, Goldberg and Sid even advanced past the first round
Brehs just recognize HitGOAT’s excellence

Flair has never resonated with me like a lot of other guys that came after him have. I recognize both him and Hogan as legends, but they never appealed to me the way somebody like Randy Savage had. Easy pick for Bret, as I really grew to appreciate him as I got older. I think Flair has him on promos, but that’s it.

 

[DLo]

As a person it is Bret Hart all day every day.

For the categories listed here I got to go with Flair.

Flair. Bret is a midcard guy

Flair. Bret is a midcard guy

these are facts. shyt man will NEVER be better than Flair, in ANY metric. Ask austin, rock, hbk, dusty, etc etc. this is a travesty.

Quite a passionate defense for The Nature Boy. I couldn't help but notice "appeared on The Simpsons" was absent from your list of Flair's accolades though.

Spoiler

Man...just like in the Angle/Austin thread...this poll is mind-boggling. Flair, for the bulk of his career, was the best in the business. Sold out arenas, was the face of the NWA and WCW, and has many of the greatest matches of all time under his belt...and is trailing Bret Hart?? Wow. Hart was a better technical wrestler...but had no personality or charisma, and just wasn't a guy you paid to go and see. Matter of fact, he was probably more appealing with the Hart Foundation than he ever was solo. I get that Flair might be racist or said racist stuff...but if this is just about wrestling...Hart isn't in the conversation with Flair.

Just my opinion

Did flair ever have the guts to challenge el Dandy or hypnosis while dealing with a serious groin pull?
