[edit] Ric Flair

Hello, im not trying to annoy you but i added ric flair to the date because he is a legendry figure in professional wrestling and if you would bring his name up to any fan, young or old they would know him. A 36 year career ending on this day deserves recognision after every thing he has been through including broken necks and backs.

Ric Flair, for all intents and purposes, is a fictional character. You actually make a great argument against inclusion when you say that "if you would bring his name up to any fan, young or old they would know him". No one who is not a fan knows him or cares that he ever lived. His career did not have an impact on the world and his retirement is not a globally notable event. In fact, it would be hard to justify that any person's retirement would be a globally notable event. I understand that you are a fan and have an emotional attachment to this event, but try to see if from the perspective of the rest of the world. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 19:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Good point, although he is a real person not fictional, he didnt impact people outside the global wrestling audience and you made a good point and i apologise for repeatable changing it on the March 30th page, thankyou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.121.232 (talk) 19:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I did not mean that he is not a real person, but his persona is fictional. Wrestling is entertainment, scripted for the most part. His retirement is part of the script. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 19:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

No, his retirement is legitimate because he is never wrestling again, but is part of a storyline in WWE that every match he wrestler prior to Wrestlemania 24 was a "Career Threatening Match". Oh god i can't believe we are arguing about this. sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lums1991 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
