I'd bet Flair was seeing stars yep - they respected Funk though - take a look at those chops from Flair and punches to Steamboats knee....

Someone I knew wrestled Greg the Hammer Valentine. When he chopped him, his chest was covered in puss the next week. I doubt Flair left a lasting impression on wrestlers with all his chops aside from some blood vessel bursts

I think Flair was a clean, overly hardworker that most likely hurt very few people in the ring.

I think Flair was a clean, overly hardworker that most likely hurt very few people in the ring. Sometimes though the louder the chop, the less painful they are. There can be an art to it, which I think Flair was great at. Also, I don't think Flair was really a tough guy aside from as a bumper and worker. I got the feeling Flair never really hurt people with them. When you go to a wrestling event, you can tell the guys that really make you feel pain with the chops. Not only do they have a slapping sound, they have a thud to them. Think of how in MMA, legkicks that have a slapping sound aren't as painful as the ones that connect firmly.
