Ok, HBK gets back in the ring at 19:30 and Flair stomps his ribs a few times. he then whips him hard into the corner twice. He then gives him the back suplex and then he lifts his arm up and punches him in the ribs. Then he gives him the underhook suplex and kicks him in the ribs again. Then he gives him the vertical suplex. HBK begins to take the advantage but Flair kicks him in the ribs and stops it but HBK hits the neckbreaker and regains the advantage at 22:00. This isn't enough working the ribs?

Flair could tell HBK was badly hurt because HBK wasn't running circles around him in the ring anymore. Perhaps HBK holding his ribs and selling like a champion could've been a dead giveaway as well.

edit - There you go.

People asked for a flaw in the match and he's given you one.

That would have completely the crowd and the tempo of the match. They had to continue with those chops to keep the flow going through-out that match, you no what the live crowds are like, if he had worked on the ribs for any longer the crowd would have been completely dead. They just decided to keep the match at a faster pace so that people would be more drawn into it. It would have been dangerous to work on the ribs, as it clearly was a non-kayfabe injury.

The working over was far too late in the match. Michaels injured himself like 5-7 mins into the match. By then Michaels could've regained his strength and working over the ribs could've been useless.

Pretty sure WCW just proved it wasn't a flaw.

I seriously think people dubbed the match 5 stars before it even happened. It didn't matter what happened in the match but because it was Flair's last match, it has to be 5 stars. Quite laughable really.

My bad, the 19:30 and 22:00 was the time on my player. I start right when HBK gets back into the ring after taking the bump. The match isn't even 22 minutes long.

Wow, clearly that isn't a flaw.

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

Oh ok. What do you give it rating wise?
