5 Wrestling legends who weren't great in-ring, and 5 who were

<p>

Good at wrestling: Ric Flair

<p>

He's the man with the most world title reigns to his credit, the subject of an acclaimed ESPN documentary, and has filled more arenas around the world than any other wrestler can honestly claim.

He's the Nature Boy Ric Flair, and there is compelling evidence he is the GOAT of pro wrestling. Flair didn't have a lot of flashy offense like dropkicks or frog splashes, but his fundamentals were without flaw and he was able to bring the best out of his opponents. His chops are so famous fans around the world--even in promotions where Flair has never wrestled--shout woooo! when anyone uses a knife edge hand to the chest.

Flair is not only a legend, he's also one of the best in-ring performers to ever lace up the boots.

Here's Flair vs. Steamboat in a match many still refer to as the greatest of all time.
