He could bleed pretty well

He didn’t do flips.

The guy could legit go for an hour and always made his opponent look like a million bucks.

his psychology was great, his cardio was second to none, and his technical skill was very well equipped, people bash him for doing same stuff every match, but that didn't really become obvious until like 1998 when he was past his prime, 80's flair was legendary in the ring and on the mic.

He made bad wrestlers look good in the ring.

sold like god

He may have had the same match over and over again for 30 years but it was a pretty good match desu senpai

He personified the "Top guy of The Territory system" Niche

Traveling champion who works people into a shoot and makes the local top face look like a major star and kept the Territories United

One could argue that Gorgeous George did this better or even Graham but Flair was definitely the best to do this job in his time

>his psychology was great
kek

He did a flip over the turnbuckle in just about every match

He played video games, collected Lego, and tweeted at fans

kek

What? Was is it not enough for ya?

He stole all his major spots from midget wrestlers.

Why hasn't this gotten a filter yet?

He was extremely believable.

Because cuck in allcaps filters to KEK so there would probably be some kind of recursive feedback loop that destroys the site

He had like 3 or 4 moves and didn't do anything flashy, but he was Hogan-like in picking his spots and working the crowd during a match and he could go for fucking 90 minutes if he had to. The dude would sell like nobody's business, strut at just the right times, desperately beg off and then do something dastardly, then strut again. He wasn't a great wrestler, but he had crowds eating out of the palm of his hand.
The reason his matches with Steamboat were so legendary is that Steamboat actually was a pretty great wrestler and had nearly as much stamina as Flair, so the two of them going for 45 minutes was high drama and entertainment.

>there would probably be some kind of recursive feedback loop that destroys the site
please god make this happen

He wasn't. In an unbiased world, he wouldn't even be considered top 20.

He had tons of friends in high places that repeated the "best wrestler in the world" meme so much that drones actually started to believe it.
