Is Charlotte Ruining Ric Flairs Legacy?

[Deen]

Let's be honest. Charlotte is beyond being sub par when watching her wrestle/sell and charisma when compared to her father. Naitch was always everything he said he was. A good wrestler, talker, and performer for decades. Within Charlotte coming into the WWE we have seen Ric cry, have his daughter rip off his gimmick at every turn, and bury his son who committed suicide within a couple of months of her arrival. She also won the title riding his accolades and theme music basically because she has shown very to little charisma. (Just a side note: I think someone realized this and she will begin to be buried after this "story line" with Paige).

I understand he is trying to be a good father and allowing her to do these things to get ahead by any means necessary. But, I have personally found Ric Flair's legacy to be tarnished by the pandering that has been shoved down our throats by the WWE to believe that we have found the next Flair in the dreadful Diva division.

Ric Flair is an actual ICON in the Wrestling world. I think what WWE has done is an injustice to his legacy, even though I am aware he likely needs the money above everything else. It just seems awful that they would bring him into her story lines this much just to make a buck. Give the guy a little respect and dignity to retire on.

THIS is why I don't like Charlotte and won't ever spend a dime to see her.

No Charlotte is not ruining Ric Flair's legacy. Charlotte is only preventing herself from creating a legacy of her own. I think people are intelligent enough to separate the two people and the two gimmicks and judge them on their own.

David Flair.

That should have ruined his legacy, and didn't come close.

She's still young and will be fine. Cut her a break.

 

[ColePens]

No... Ric Flair ruined his own legacy first of all... and his daughter has zero impact on what he did in the ring. Absolutely none.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Absolutely not. Charlotte has zero baring on Ric's legacy.

She does need to stop trying to get over via Naitch's legacy because it's failing badly. At least as a face.

I think the Flair gimmick might more better as a heel as some of Ric's best gimmicks are heel tactics.

Figure 8 needs to go along with the Roman Reigns spear.

 

[BonMorrison]

Not at all.

 

[Blitzkrug]

If David couldn't since he was so godawful, i highly doubt someone who shows at least a smidgen potential like Charlotte does. (as much as i dislike her)

Did Reid and David ruin it? No.

 

[The Gongshow]

Lol no, she has nothing to do with Ric Flairs career, its her career not his.

 

[AfroThunder396]

No, but it's pretty clear Charlotte is quite overrated. Without Sasha and Bayley to work with she has trouble carrying her matches. She's better than a lot of the crap in the women's division but it's pretty clear she's not up to par with Paige/Sasha/Becky/Bayley.

 

[Morozov]

Nothing undoes what Flair achieved. His legacy isn't ruined, it isn't being ruined and it won't be ruined. He's one of if not the greatest of all time. Nothing changes that.

 

[bruins309]

No, and she never will.

Way too early to judge her on main roster at 3-4 months but what I do know is like just about everyone she is poorly booked. Bears no resemblance to the NXT Charlotte of 2014/15.

 

[Account Terminated]

Cripes, why does everyone hate Charlotte so much? She hasn't been great, but she's not "is she runing her father's legacy?" bad, right?

 

[Deen]

Womens Wrestling sucks. Everyone knows it.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Did you see Flair in TNA.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Did you see Flair in TNA.

And in his personal life.

 

[UnrealMachine]

And in his personal life.

Warning: highly detailed and depressing story of how ****** Ric Flair is in real life: http://grantland.com/features/the-wrestler-real-life/

 

[ColePens]

For those under thirty, I wonder where they'd rank flair in their list of greats. The guy should be top five, but my lord his career was laughable for about ten years.

 

[Morozov]

Flair's feud with Lethal in TNA was still more entertaining, even with the state of Flair at that point, than most of the cookie cutter crap that gets put out today.

Part of that was becaue Lethal is great as well.

The whole needing to make himself bleed every week thing wasn't great though

 

[McRpro]

What a dumb thread.

No, she is not ruining her fathers legacy.

He's had other siblings that have done a far better job...

Dumb? So you don't think Charlotte is piggy backing off the Flair name? Even morbidly so?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Piggy-backing the name or the gimmick doesn't alter the legacy of the person being piggy-backed off of. It has nothing to do with Ric's legacy.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

No she's still developing.

But the fact that she did not put her foot down when WWE creative wanted to use her brothers suicide as part of an angle is exactly the problem with the young talent in WWE. When something is crap you need to spell it out to them.

She should not be getting alot of promo time, Charlotte's best asset is her athleticism, she should be a silent killer

I guess everyone hates her because people can only get in love with one wrestler at time. Daniel Bryan was a prime example, now Sasha Banks is. Charlotte has won the championship before their crush did, so she's now the worst wrestler ever.
I hope nobody expected Charlotte to be better than her dad

Oh come on, you can't compare Charlotte to DB and Sasha, both are clearly miles better in ring and on the mic.
