10 WWE Superstars Who Were The Best At Putting Over Young Talent

When you start talking about "company men," there are three names that automatically spring to mind: Sting, The Undertaker, and Ric Flair.

Whereas Sting and Taker could be described as brand loyalists - basiclaly sticking with one organization for their whole careers - Flair didn't care who he was wrestling for.

If they did right by him, he'd do right by them, and so when he was called upon to ensure a younger talent got over, he made damn sure that by the time they left the ring, they were two notches higher than when they entered it.

Flair's golden rule was basically; "Make your opponent look great, because that will make the match great". He did that just about every night - unless he had major beef with the other guy in the locker room - by selling the hell out of every move they laid on him.

Speaking of Sting, though, it was actually Flair that put Sting on the map in the first place. After less than a year in the company, the two went head-to-head for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in a 45-minute epic that ended in a draw.

Despite his onscreen character, Flair was so unaffected by ego that he let a total rookie finish the match on his level.

It wasn't just Sting that he got over in a big way, either. He pretty well launched the career of Ricky Steamboat and made him look like a god. And it's hard not to wonder where the likes of Randy Orton and Batista would be without Flair's credibility behind them.
