Who's Better-Volume 1: Lou Thesz Or "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair

LOU THESZ (NWA) VS RIC FLAIR (WCW)

          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.
