Lol for what? You think he asked out of a big free paycheck to go somewhere else to earn a smaller paycheck?

Well….let’s see…
Mid 80s to Mid 90s
Flair was the man in WCW. Hogan was the man in WWF. WWF crushed WCW in popularity. Stars lead this…
Flair came to WWF, Hogan was still the man.
Hogan went to WCW, Hogan became the man, Flair became a mid-carder.
Hogan > Flair, and it ain’t close.
Flair was THE MAN dating back to the mid 70's and Jim Crocket Promotions. I don't know how much you know about the old territory days of wrestling or the crowds they were able to draw, but Flair was the undisputed man. You ask anyone in the wrestling business and they will say, without a doubt, Hogan couldn't hold Flair's jock.

One of the most overrated wrestlers ever. He’s no Hulk Hogan.
Hogan even says Flair was better.

Hogan is the worst guy behind the scenes in wrestling history.
There are definitely alot of those guys, but Hellwig may have been the worst.

From about 1978-1993ish Flair was the best overall guy in the world. While Hogan was wrestling 150 dates a year in normally 10 minute matches. Flair was wrestling 380-420 times a year in sometimes hour long matches all over the world. He went to Japan twice in one week and still wrestled 2 dates in the USA.
He worked in Charlotte on Sunday afternoon and would fly to Tampa and work Sunday night. He carried every guy in the country every night and on Saturdays would wrestle 5 times on a tv taping and twice and Sunday. While all this was going on he still out worked and out partied and sleep with 1000's of woman.
He is the greatest ever. Period best overall worker and best promo guy.

100% agree. You can tell how much someone knows about wrestling when they say otherwise. I am a huge wrestling fan. Well, I was. WWE killed wrestling, and now AEW is damn near as bad as WWE. I don't watch either. If I was going to watch, it would be AEW because I loathe WWE that much, but what I have seen of AEW is unimpressive.

Ric Flair has been the one of the most recognized names in the business since 1972! Nuff said. Just his staying power and work ethic makes the Nature Boy the GOAT wrestler. The man loves the game. He is "The Wrestler".

Not to mention the infamous North Korea trip that Bishoff set up. Dude was world wide. Flair is an icon.

Loved him.
Jimmy Superfly Snuka never gets the credit he deserves, IMO. I was a huge fan of his.
