To be the man, you have to beat the man, and in the 2015 TWB Tournament of Champions, no one was able to beat the man. Ric Flair, the only #1 seed to make it out of his bracket, defeated Steve Austin in the finals and is now the Champion of Champions throughout recorded history... okay, maybe that's a little dramatic but still, he overcame stiff competition to win: Sid Vicious, Booker T, Vader, Sting, Terry Funk, and Austin. Then again, in a world full of outstanding wrestlers, only one wrestler was not only talented and prolific but stylish enough to be called The Man.
Sadly, this title can't be added to Flair's kayfabe list, which means the crushing inevitability of John Cena breaking his record for number of World Championships still looms like a thundercloud. However, records are for dopes anyway. Flair transcends counting numbers or invented baubles. He is the Nature Boy, the foundation upon which the Four Horsemen is laid, and quite simply, the Wrestling God. RIC FLAIR, EVERYONE!
