Is the WWE trying to kill Ric Flair so that USA would get better ratings

[oldvnewschool]

I know it's sounds a little crazy,

But to me whether it's getting his nearly his head blown off by Triple H's

Jackhammer or going through steel cages on Taboo Tuesday, or by getting

beat to a bloody pulp to be the last man standing at the Survivor Series,

Or 2 weeks ago when Edge tried to decapitate his head in Wilkes Barre, PA.

or by Edge taking his body and playing stretch armstrong with it on the Tables,

Ladders, and Chairs match last week on Raw (I didn't watch the golden globes as

you can tell by detail, Ric Flair is being sacrificed so that Raw maintains

a high 4.0 in the ratings due to being the perfect foil for both Triple H

and Edge. I would like for the WWE to treat Flair like his age and not

making him think he's an older Hulk Hogan Brother.

Flair needs the money so bad right now he'd probably agree to just about anything in order to stay employed by WWE. Actually, his work looks better now than it really has at any other point during this decade. Crazy face-biting crotch-clawing Flair rocks.

Hes gotta watch the blading. His forehead is approaching "Dusty Rhodes" status.

But to venture back to the point, this is how Vince McMahon stays in business. While his recent World Champions have shown the charisma of a storm drain, he ll find one or two wrestlers that can captivate the viewers.

Vince will bide his time.

I met Flair and shook his hand about six years ago. Back then, it really didn't stand out. But boy does the scar tissue ever stand out in his mug shot from November! But like studiotwenty, back to the main point....

Exactly. Even before his recent face turn, Flair still got one of the biggest "pops" (crowd reactions) of anyone on either the Raw or Smackdown rosters. (I am just glad to not see him as HHH's lackey onscreen any longer.) And the fans absoultely eat up his "crazy old man" routine. And given his impending road rage case and likely messy and expensive divorce around the corner, Flair is gonna be in need of some serious cash flow. He seems content in his role to go out and bleed like a stuck pig and put over the younger guys. We'll see Flair in some sort of onscreen role with Vince for sometime to come, I believe.

I love seeing the 'Flair flop', but it's disappointing that he doesn't to the strut or cut those 'Space Mountain' promos anymore...however, I'm impressed that an old-schooler like Flair would agree to work such a match, and a good match at that. I was almost convinced he'd win the thing.

BTW, story hole: Who's gonna the new General Manager of Raw?

Cena's run would have worked out fine if they hadn't shown that horrible music video. Not the A-Team spoof one, which was actually a pretty good Eminem ripoff, but the second one. Who hangs out with their grandma at a barbecue in a freaking rap video? You could hear the crowd turning on him while that thing was playing and by the time it was over, his character was pretty much dead. And that's why people cheered Kurt Angle even though he was beating up pretty girls and dissing the troops.

Personally, I was never a big fan of Cena to begin with, but he was a total joke after that.

Dusty Rhodes forehead got nothing on CCC's dad forehead (Mr. Carlos Colon Sr.)

And that will be when TNA gets into full force...
