Yeah, sorry about that. I was at work when I wrote that, hence the bad mood. Didn't mean to rip into you so bad.

My main issue is that you were judgng the 4 Horsemen and Ric Flair based on their later, far inferior work. The Tully Blanchard 4 Horsemen and young Ric Flair are FAR different from their later versions.

Its the equivalent of only watching the Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson fight, watch Tyson get his ass knocked out, and then calling him one of the worst fighters of all time. Forget about the fact that he was the youngest champ of all time and destroyed all comers for a what seemed like an eternity, you only saw the Buster Douglas fight so he must have always sucked and is the worst champ of all time. See what I'm saying? You don't have a large enough point of reference to make an educated opinion on the subject.

Please, in the future if you are going to rip the 4 Horsemen, specify which version you are ripping into. There have been many, but if you had seen the original incarnation I don't believe you would be so harsh. If you just generalize it and include versions that you have never seen you are judging gimmicks that you have never seen, which is ignorant.

I'll even give you that you have seen enough of Flair's work to hate him, but you have to admit that you MUST have forgotten about David Arquette when you wrote that... I mean... COME ON NOW. No one compares to him in the realm of sucky champs.
