For every sport, there are those two players that draw arguments over who is better. In basketball, it's LeBron James and Michael Jordan. In football it's Jerry Rice and Joe Montana. In baseball, it's Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, and in hockey it's Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky. Well, in this new series, I will be comparing two superstars, tag team, or stables from the history of wrestling and determining who('s) is better.
For the first ever "Who's Better" blog, I will be comparing two major stars. On one hand, we have Lou Thesz and on the other we have "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Read along to find out which legend is superior.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In-Ring Work-Ric Flair.
Mic Skills-Ric Flair.
Popularity-Ric Flair. One word: "WOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Impact On The Business-Lou Thesz. He revolutionized professional wrestling.
Better Theme-N/A. Thesz didn't have one.
Better Look-Lou Thesz
Better Finisher-Ric Flair (Figure Four Leg Lock).
Final decision-Based on the categories, I have determined that Ric Flair was the better overall superstar than the late, great Lou Thesz. Thesz helped create the business, and Flair kept it going. Ric just had more tools to work with than Lou did.
