Hulkamania Aussie Tour [from Hogan in TNA thread]

Funny how things work out, Vince gave the biggest send off ever to the biggest star of his biggest competition and Hogan didnt get anything.

and just think Flair is much older, held more titles, and just retired from a full time schedule just last year. And you wonder why Vince gave the"Nature Boy" two of the biggest galas ever in his behalf while Hogan got none? Come on Beltster. Hogan got into the WWE HOF. Hogan put the wwe on the map. Flair put wrestling on the map:period.

I didnt wonder anything, dont put words in my mouth. I know why Flair got the sendoff he got, because he is bum chums with Triple H and Shawn Michaels and Vince knew he could make bank by promoting Flair's retirement, has nothing to do with titles held or any of that, obviously.

And please stop with the bullsh*t, Flair didnt put wrestling on the map AT ALL, wrestling was just as big before Flair as it was when Flair came along. He did ZERO to make the business any bigger than it was before him, end of story.

Please stop talking nonsense all the time, its very tired at this point.

you told me Beltster. I thought Flair got the send off he did because he earned it. Not to mention that about 96% of the world of pro wrestling & pro wrestling fans all see Flair(including myself) as the Mohammed Ali of pro wrestling. To sum it all up: The greatest of all time. No doubt Hogan is the greatest entertainer in wrestling history.he made wrestling bigger than life.

Nobody can deny that. You represent the 4% that feels different. And u r entitled to feel that way. Outside of that Beltster u don't have to turn this into a **** fight man. We just two guys that has different views. Not nonsense. Grow up man.

He did earn it, but nobody on Earth outside of Steve Austin has done more for Vince McMahon than Hulk Hogan, and nobody outside of Vince McMahon has done more for wrestling than Hulk Hogan. To even insinuate that Ric Flair deserved a bigger WWE sendoff than Hogan is you showing bias, time to be honest and admit it.

And bro, I'm not turning it into a fight, trust me. If I was fighting with you, you would be claiming I hate you because your black by now, again

Way to pull a (ridiculous) figure out of your arse, Franchise. The last time you shot your mouth off like this and asked for us to "Take a poll... If you got the balls.", I did... and Hogan got the overwhelming majority (37-9) in said voting.

Nice statistic, did it hurt the way you pulled it out of your a**?

fans all see Flair(including myself) as the Mohammed Ali of pro wrestling. To sum it all up: The greatest of all time.

Lou Thesz, Karl Gotch, Frank Gotch, Bruno Sammartino, El Santo, Negro Casas, Blue Demon, Gorgeous George, Mitsuharu Misawa, Jumbo Tsuruta, Antonio Inoki, Dos Caras all say hello

I've been watching a lot of CMLL recently (from the tail-end of 2008) and Negro Casas is awesome... although not as awesome as Mr. Niebla.

Again, it depends on how you define greatest. If you count popularity and marketability, then those guys aren't even a blip on the radar, and those are so integral to wrestling nowadays that it's almost meaningless not to count them.

From a wrestling business standpoint, Flair, Hogan and SCSA put more bums in seats per year, and more buys per ppv than any of those individually, and probably more than all of them combined. It doesn't matter how great a worker you were when 95% of fans have never even heard of you.

Hah, yeah thats an interesting point.

Ric Flair up close...not a pretty sight.
