Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit

All of these matches are better than any Ric Flair match.

Ric Flair is a legend, and one of the greatest wrestlers and champions of all time. Bret Hart is simply better when it comes to all round wrestling ability.

Not that I pay much attention to Dave Meltzer, but he listed two five-star matches for Bret (vs. Owen, SummerSlam '94; vs. Austin, Wrestlemania 13), while Flair has had six in his career, including four in one year:

vs. Barry Windham (1987)
Vs. Steamboat (three times in 1989)
Vs. Terry Funk (1989)
Flair, Arn Anderson, Larry Zbyszko, Barry Windham, & Sid Vicious vs. Sting, Brian Pillman, Rick Steiner, & Scott Steiner (War Games, 1991)

Also, PWI (it's a kayfabe company I know) named Flair Wrestler of the Year six times (1981, 1984-86, 1989, & 1992), while Bret has won none.

In addition, Flair has also won just about every major title known to man, inluding NWA World, WCW World, WWE World, U.S., IC, World Tag, NWA Tag, NWA TV, among many others.
