Well, instead of chopping each other to no end they could of spent that time using psychology.

Or maybe it was better served using the time to give the (majority of) fans what they wanted?

There really wasn't that much chopping going on compared to Flair matches of recent years.

Anyway, the crowd and 99% of the people watching the match would rather see a chop battle then Ric Flair working the ribs.

Perhaps but there are some of us that actually care about psychology. Not to mention you could've easily fit in a few mins of rib work. To say you couldn't is complete bullshit.

Nah, nobody cared about the ribs besides wrestling high hats that enjoy giving star ratings.

That really makes no sense, tbh. People who ignored the ribs still like giving out star ratings.

'Other Wrestling'.

I can't wait to see this match. Just to see the big fuss about Flair apparently not working the ribs and that being such a big problem.

Not sure why he'd need to work the ribs over when the "injury" was mainly just a way to slow HBK down and level the playing field.

I wouldn't call it a "big problem" but it certainly seperates the match from being 5 stars because 5 star matches are flawless matches and the ignoring of the ribs hurts the psychology of the match slightly thus making it "unperfect".

Honestly, I think most people already made up their minds before the match.

How was Flair suppose to know how badly Michaels injured himself on the announcer's table? That is why he should've stayed with the ribs and worked them over a bit to make sure Michaels' ribs were truly damaged and to wear him down.
