@Quntumking I agree. Flair, the Horsemen, The Russians, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes, Magnum T.A., Legion of Doom a.k.a. the Road Warriors etc.. God those were the really good days of regional wrestling. The NWA knew they had talent and they let the talent run with the show. Unlike the WWF/WWE which has had some very good years (mid to late 80s, the attitude era, perhaps a few more) but restricts all but a very superbly talented individuals until they suck the life's blood out of them.

Never did, and never will! Then-As if that wasn't bad enough, Mr. Herd wanted Ric Flair to get his hair cut, put an earring in one of his ears, and call him "Spartacus". That was the last straw for Ric Flair. In September, 1991, Ric Flair went to the Then-WWF to wrestle. He'd had enough of WCW at that point!

I would've liked to see flair in a more ferocious brawler type of wrestler instead of on his knees. It made no sense to talk loud in the interviews then crawl around the ring on his knees begging for mercy. Thats my opinion.
