Ric Flair: Still stylin and profilin.

Just a few weeks ago, the chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon, has put a stranglehold on Ric Flair's legendary career. McMahon stated that Flair's next loss will mean the end of his career.

Each and every week, the challenges sent towards the wrestler from Charlotte, North Carolina are getting tougher and tougher. Until last sunday's Royal Rumble, Flair managed to keep his head out of the water by avoiding the career-ending defeat. Even the great Triple H failed to inflict a loss to the Nature Boy during Monday Night Raw a few weeks ago.

But at the Royal Rumble, Montel Vontavious Porter, (MVP) the reigning United States champion was standing on Ric Flair's path. I thought that this matchup was too much for the veteran wrestler. But against all odds, Ric Flair took every shot from his opponent and managed to lock in his figure four leg lock in the center of the ring.

MVP had to tap out, unable to deal with the painful hold. (Yes the figure four is a painful hold. I tried it on my younger brother a couple of times when I was a kid. Don't try this kids.) ;)

Flair's career was safe for at least another week. Once again, the dirtyest player in the game found a way to avoid the ultimate loss at sunday's Royal Rumble.

Let's face it, the 16-time world champion cannot go thru 2008 without losing a match. He will sooner or later lose a match and retire during the year. Ladies and gentlemens, we are taking your bets: Who will end Ric Flair's legendary career?
