keefmoon Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 So the time is here, it's all finished and the results are in. The result being... Ready? Ric Flair (25) def The Undertaker (21) [B]Ric Flair is officially the favourite wrestler on the GDS boards.[/B] I'm pretty sure these were the scores, for some reason when adding them up I kept getting different totals! But I got this one three times in a row and most were within one of this, so the winner is indisputable, which is the important thing. I'd like to thank everyone who has voted in this as it has been as good a tournament as I could have hoped. Despite the amount of work involved, I've really enjoyed it and I think honestly, the best man won. When you consider everything Flair has achieved, and that he has been perhaps the "ultimate" pro wrestler, I think we've got the right winner. And despite the recent criticism on a different competition, I think the format and timings have worked a treat, as people were voting right up to four minutes before closing time. It was really close the whole way thorugh but eventually "Naitch" just sprinted ahead. Once again thanks to all who have voted and I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have. Keefmoon.

panix04 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 thanks for putting in the legwork buddy, slightly dis-appointed in the outcome. But i guess thats because i have seen a lot more of Ric Flairs more recent work, rather then his stuff in his hey day. Lets be truly honest if you judged either finalist on modern day form, neither would have made the final would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevBone Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 The right man won. I died a little inside seeing that 21 people here voted for The Undertaker over RIC FREAKIN' FLAIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefmoon Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks for the support guys. I agree that if it was best today, then neither man would be in the final, but it was favourite ever. I suspect that had people seen more of Flair in his heyday then this wouldn't have been as close. But a spreviously said, the last few were always going to from the last 15 years, in the WWE and maybe WCW. Aside from Michaels and Austin, I don't know who else could have realistically been in the final instead of Flair and 'Taker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertaker666 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 [B]FIX![/B] Undertaker was winning but you let the voting go on for too long just so Flair could win.... (the above is sarcasm by the way ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djthefunkchris Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Even today, to me Ric Flair went from such a great performer/great for the company, etc... And although he cannot do what he has in the past, I still give him props over 90% of everyone I've seen out there. He still goes the highest in the air when taking those dang flipping slam. He is like a piece of leather..... I don't think you can actually hurt the guy anymore. I have always wanted to see a huge feud between him and McMahan, for some reason. I don't really like McMahan feuds, but I think that would probably rock, pluss put Flair right back where he should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 They did a Flair/McMahon feud. Flair showed up as "owner" of WCW/ECW. Street Fight at RR 02. Vince loses and then flips out which brings in the nWo. Flair feuds with Taker through WM. Then Vince beats Flair on Raw for 100% ownership and brings in Steph and Bischoff as GMs. Because of their history, I always thought a Bischoff/Flair feud would've been interesting. but I doubt most current fans would know what their fighting about.

tristram Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Undertaker, to be the man, you have got to beat... the man, and you just didn't do it, partner! WOOOOOO!! Oh hell yeah I'm happy with that, either him or Bret Hart had to win it. They to me epitomize the best all around attributes that a professional wrestler should be. Charismatic Great in ring Ability to sell like a wounded squirrel Can go face or heel well Incredibly over Ability to carry a company Durability Adaptability WOOOOO!! Go Ric Flair.

TCP1 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 In his defence, HBK is a lot more charismatic than Bret Hart, whereas Hart is better at mat-based. the rest I'd say they're tied. Austin is better than both, all-round. Ric Flair was better than Austin. The Rock was equal to Ric Flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocland Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 When I read Flair won my wooing caused my roomate to throw a mirror at me, then I dropped an elbow on a towel. Nature Boy's the best ever, hands down. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I term it is all-round abilities, certainly HBK is another one who can be put into that category. Probably the likes of Angle, Jericho, Guerrero and Sting, arguably, there are other greats like Steamboat and Benoit who don't filful all obligations in these categories. One thing's certain, wrestling is still the bee's knees and Ric Flair "WOOOO!" he's still GDS's man! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
