Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of ‘Fantasy Fight Friday’, SLTD Wrestling’s one stop shop for professional wrestling’s most intriguing dream matches. Don’t worry if you didn’t get a chance to vote for a winner over the last couple of weeks, you can still do so right now! Those polls won’t be closing any time soon.
This week we have two of the most vain and cocky superstars in the SLTD ring, but we all love them for it. ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair versus ‘The Showoff’ Dolph Ziggler.
In one corner we have the unmatched 16-time World Champion, the two time Hall of Fame inductee, one quarter of two of the most dominant factions in the wrestling business; The Four Horsemen and Evolution. The limousine-riding, jet-flying, wheeling dealing son of a gun, Ric Flair. Flair has had an in-ring career that has spanned over 30 years, and we all know he would still be in the ring today if he could.
In the other corner we have a former multi-time Intercontinental Champion, a former Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner, a former World Heavyweight Champion. ‘The Showoff’ Dolgh Ziggler. Although Ziggler has yet to catch his stride in the main event picture and cement his legacy there, we all know that it’s only a matter of time before the WWE pulls the trigger on Ziggler and he will flourish in the main event scene.
This match will be full of major bumps, one-up-man-ships, and let’s be honest a whole lot of showboating.
Author of ‘Tybo Talks’ for SLTD, Tybo gives his take on the match below:
“This match may not be the most obvious when it comes to dream matches, but i think it would be amazing to see none the less. I see a lot of Flair in Ziggler, especially the way he carries himself in the ring and the promos he cuts. There is undoubtedly similarities between the two and if nothing else the promos between the two of them in the build-up for a match like this would be amazing.
As for picking a winner, I’m not so sure. The fact that Flair has been wrestling for 30+ years begs the question: when would you set this match up? In the 80-90’s when Flair was in his prime, or the 2000’s when he could still go, but was showing his age?
Personally, I would love to see this match for the NWA World Championship when Flair was in his prime, so if we could all get the Delorian out and transport Ziggler back in time, I think we could have a match of year year 1985 on our hands.
I think the match would be very back and forth, and the crowd would be cheering for one man one minute and booing them the next. Both men take pride in there bump taking so it would be ridiculously physical to say the least. As for a winner, as much as I love Zigger, Flair in his prime would just get the win over ‘The Showoff’. Would Flair get the win from an eye poke or low blow, or using the ropes or Ziggler’s tights as leverage? I’m not sure, but he does not get called ‘the dirtiest player in the game’ for nothing.”
So there you have it, folks! Now the question to ask is this; who do you think would win in a match between ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair and ‘The Showoff’ Dolph Ziggler? Leave your vote below to declare a winner, and make sure to comment on why you chose who you did!
