Very little in ring ability?

That's probably the most ignorant thing you've ever said. Ric Flair is universally recognized within the industry as one of the greatest wrestlers ever.

The Wrestling Observer has awarded him "Wrestler of the Year" eight times, "Match of the Year" four times, and "Most Outstanding" three times. Further, Pro Wrestling Illustrated has given him six Wrestler of the Year Awards, five Match of the Year Awards, and one Match of the Decade award.

Just watch a few of these matches:
Flair vs Steamboat at Wrestlewar '89 (missing the first 15 minutes):

Flair vs Sting at Clash of Champions '94:

Flair vs Harley Race at Starrcade '83:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5doKQ7fEdk

Those are just three off the top of my head. The dude's easily top five all time.

by in ring ability im talking about being a technical wrestler. flair is just a personality.

I can name 5 in ring wrestlers that do a better job than him.

Bret Hart
Chris Benoit
Chris Jericho
RVD
Rey Mysterio

this took me three seconds, I can easily compile a list much larger than this that also includes larger wrestlers who have personality at least attempt to do things beyond the basics.

as soon as the sting(much much better than flair, hes actually one of the all time greats) match starts hes already doing what hes good at, working the crowd by taunts and shit. thats all hes good for.

Ric Flair also does a decent job at selling the other wrestler.

beyond that, meh to ric flair. he should just go away forever.

Sometimes I feel like your posts were more informative back when I was quoting them and replacing the content with pictures that said "HURRR".

No wait, I'm sure they were more informative back them.

You can't go back and forth with someone who isn't capable of returning a serve. I may as well argue about wrestling with my cat.

But to be fair, the Nature Boy is a 16 time World Heavyweight Champion and he also had a bunch of other titles like Tag Team Champion and Intercontinental Champion that I don't really care about.

And hell, you can't be inducted into the Hall of Fame just for being a personality.

Sure you can, its one of the basic elements of pro wrestling. If one isnt much of an athlete, there are other areas that they can work on.

being considered a good wrestler is a pretty broad statement. Some people like the Undertakers theatrics, others like Rey Mysterios in ring ability etc.

The hall of fame is pretty much a circle jerk. In fact, the wrestling industry has been one big circle jerk for decades.

ya know, I didn't really realize how stoked I am that the Ultimate Warrior is gonna be in it. I'm pretty much fine with whatever they come up with on the roster since he's confirmed (he's on the cover). But yeah. Ultimate Warrior. He's like Goldberg before there was a Goldberg.

professional wrestling and superhero comics are the same exact thing. They're both story driven entertainment mediums wherein musclebound heroes and villains in bright colored outfits beat each other up.

Well that is just silly. Not all comic book heroes are musclebound.

What about Dr.Strange?

not all wrestlers are musclebound either. What about Hacksaw Jim Duggan?
