In response to Weazle's comment comparing wrestling to soccer, with two names in particular, I have decided to do a comparison that I believe is fair and just.Ric Flair vs. Cristiano Ronaldo
Height/Weight
Flair: 6'1" 245 lbs.
Ronaldo: 6'1'' 165 lbs.
Winner: Ric Flair (Bigger's not always better but in this case it is- that's what she said)
Sport
Flair: Professional Wrestling
Ronaldo: soccer
Winner: Ric Flair (Wrestler's don't just run around kicking a ball; stifle your sexual insecurities some time and watch it- you'll see the big difference)
Sports Background
Flair: State Amateur Wrestling Champion; Played College Football at the University of Minnesota
Ronaldo: Played soccer all his life
Winner: Ric Flair (Flair's more diverse and has played tougher sports)
Nicknames
Flair: Nature Boy, Slic' Ric, Space Mountain
Ronaldo: Ronnie, Rocket Ronaldo, CR7
Winner: Ric Flair (Ronaldo's nicknames show zero creativity)
Hometown
Flair: Charlotte, North Carolina
Ronaldo: Funchal, Madeira
Winner: Ric Flair (Easy choice- Charlotte is in the USA, the greatest country EVER; I have no idea where the f*** Funchal is and I didn't think it was worth my time to look it up)
Worst Injury Suffered
Flair: Broken Back at the age of 26 after surviving an airplane crash in 1975- doctors said he would never wrestle again; 35 years later he's still the man.
Ronaldo: Sprained Ankle from getting kicked in the shin October 2009; out for a month and returned to play in Novemeber 2009
Winner: Ric Flair (There's not a shin guard big enough to protect Ronaldo in a plane crash)
Drink of Choice
Flair: Kamakazi
Ronaldo: Juicebox (orange flavor)
Winner: Ric Flair (Bourbon St. doesn't have $1 juiceboxes)
World Championships
Flair: 16
Ronaldo: 9
Winner: Ric Flair (You do the math: 16>9)
Female Sexual Partners
Flair: 4,000 (In 1986 alone)
Ronaldo: 3,000
Winner: Ric Flair (These numbers are just rough estimates based on research)
Supports Gay Marriage
Ric Flair: No
Ronaldo: Yes
Winner: Ric Flair (Homosexuality is a sin, it's in the Bible; I don't make the rules, God does)
Hall of Famer
Ric Flair: Yes- Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008
Renaldo: No
Winner: Ric Flair (Once again simple answer- one's a legend as voted on by his peers, the other is not)
Biggest Moment
Ric Flair: Beating Harley Race for his 2nd NWA World Heavyweight Championship in a Steel Cage at Starrcade '83: A Flair for the Gold
Ronaldo: Winking at Wayne Rooney in the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals
Winner: Ric Flair (Harley Race is one of the toughest SOB's to ever walk God's green earth; he would never wink at an opponent, he'd just kick their ass)
Last but certainly not least...
Interviews
Based on their mic skills, who would you pay money or flip the channel to watch? Be honest with yourself.
So there you have it. Ric Flair stands victorious once again. Was there ever any doubt? I say no. What say you?

Game. Set. Match.
Ronaldo is arguably the best soccer player on the planet, and he's a diver. He looks like a pansy, and he is a pansy. I watch plenty of soccer and play plenty of FIFA, but it's guys like Ronaldo who give the sport a bad name.
Give me Lebron, Pujols, or Larry Fitzgerald any day of the week.
The soccer debate is over though. You either like it or you don't for good or not so good reason. But give me a top 5 athlete in the NFL, NBA, or MLB who's known as a flopper/diver and I'll buy you a bear fight.
America has the best athletes in the world. America's best athletes play football and basketball.
Golf is more exciting to watch on tv than soccer.
Ronaldo is carrying a man purse in that picture.
Flair is the clear winner, obviously, but he has been known to take a (nose)dive or two himself. Just saying.
Perfection
U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A!!!!!
Up next: Hacksaw Jim Duggin v. Pele
I feel weird asking this questions, but, you do know wrestlings fake, right?
To be a good wrestler all you really need to do is, ummm, be freinds with the writers...
Mouse the difference is Flair's nosedive doesn't keep him out for weeks. He gets right back up and fights. Can't say that for soccer players.
Murray, hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
I know it's fake Murray but it is still one of the most grueling sports in the world. Those guys are on the road 300+ days a year with no off-season. With the bumps those guys take, it's amazing they last they last as long as they have. That's a credit to their strength, conditioning, hard work, determination, and amazing athletic prowess
wrestling is fake by the way
30-24
51-7
Ronaldo pulls more quality females than the Nature Boy. 20 year old supermodels and actresses or 50 year old trailer-wives? Ronnie gets a point here.
Also, Ronaldo has more money and no apparent drug problem. The bulk of Flair's income goes up his nose. Tell me I'm wrong. Point Ronaldo.
We are talking about wrestling.... I saw Ric Flair and Bam Bam bigaglo at a hotel in Daytona 15 years ago..... Bam Bam was way more likeable...more than the girly man, Ric Flair
Who would you rather hang out with, Flair or Ronaldo?
Easy choice for me.
BAD BOYS!!!
Pseudo-Flair is enough for me.
Between hanging out with Flair or Ronaldo, I'd rather hang out with Brandon.
Joe I'm talking about Flair in his prime which was a lot longer than other people's prime, ronaldo included. In his prime, ronaldo couldn't tread water in Ric Flair's wake and that's a fact. Thanks for participating. Come back any time.
MAR, 30-24. Bam bam's dead Flair isn't. Flair's likeable as hell he probably just didn't like you or tech fans in general.
Although Ronaldo has cut back on his diving and petulant theatrics on the field, he'll have to live with the reputation of a cheater forever.
That being said, even through his final matches, Mr. Flair routinely would use low blows and metal chairs to swing matches in his favor, both of which are illegal in most federations' rulebooks, hardcore matches notwithstanding.
Pot = Kettle = Black
30-24
Hi PLOWE
By motivating you to do all this research on Ronaldo, I think Schiv is the real winner, here.
This post wasn't really a shot at Schiv or soccer. This was a response to an uneducated, personal attack perpetrated by one weazle.
