I've been a pretty large Brett Hart fan, but I think that all the Hart love on the thread has to do with familiarity and with how little people outside of the southeastern US actually saw him in his prime. By the time most fans outside of the Carolinas saw Flair he was already in his 40's. Some of the matches that he had in the 70s and 80's were absolutely incredible, and often 60 minutes long. In his later years he was pretty formulaic, but both in and out of the ring, he was The Man.
