Ric Flair is the greatest WWE wrestler of all time, says Hulk Hogan

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan used his experience and understanding to the fore to remark the top three wrestlers of all time to have graced the company. And undoubtedly, Hogan himself, is one of the greatest alongside the likes of John Cena, Triple H, Ric Flair, The Undertaker and Goldberg. Hogan recently spent time with his fellow WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. The Immortal One picked up The Nature Boy as the greatest wrestler of all-time in WWE. 

Hogan, moreover, placed himself second on the list of the greatest WWE wrestlers of all-time while putting ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin at the third spot of the elite group. 

“Well, let me tell you something brother! I want everybody in here, on the one, two, three, to give me a ‘Wooo!’ for the greatest wrestler of all time. One! Two! Three! Wooo! Hey thank you guys for coming out. This is the greatest wrestler of all time, Ric Flair,” Hogan said.

“In honor of the third greatest wrestler ever, ’cause he’s [points at Flair] #1, I’m #2. In honor of the third greatest wrestler of all time, that no good [inaudible] Rattlesnake, Steve Austin. Somebody give me a hell yeah!” Hogan added.

Flair had hit out at ex-WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd for his poor conduct in the locker room. The former WCW administrator drew a lot of flak for the ideas that he pitched during his tenure from 1989 to 1992. He was also the one to suggest to Flair that he should go blonde besides changing his ring-name into Spartacus. Flair believes that Herd often alienated people and made their lives miserable. It is, thus, that not many chose to socialize with him during his tenure.

Flair spoke highly of current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, recalling their match up, in the spring of 2002. The Next Big Thing, as Lesner is nicknamed in WWE, made his debut in 2002 after a two-year stint at Ohio Valley Wrestling. It took him no-time to establish his name for the company as he defeated the likes of WWE stars Matt Hardy, Rob Van Dam, Booker T and The Rock to become a RAW sensation. However, even as his stature continued to grow, he chose to remain humble and not take advantage of his superiority against veteran stars like Flair.
