Nas we need your top 10 for the HOF. pm me when you get them in. Check the thread for the criteria.

HHH is a big Flair mark, but whenever somebody would bring up Flair winning a big match it would be H saying, "You know the guy is 60........" Meltzer brought up a great point about their match a couple of months ago, where Regal interfered and kept Flair from retiring. He said if it was 20 years ago and Ray Stevens was in the retirement angle and Flair was his opponent , Flair would have insisted that Stevens was on the verge of winning, not Flair, as HHH was when the DQ happened. Stevens was Flair's idol and closest comparison-not Buddy Rogers, btw. For the guys who believed what they heard about Flair from bitter guys who didn't last in the business, no top attraction has put over more people than Flair. Every wrestling historian and journalist that I have communicated with says the same thing. So for the Scott Steiners, X-Pac, Kevin Nash's and DDP's of the world not only did he show up in Savannah and Greensboro unlike you guys, he did the job as well.
