Can Ric Flair Get One Win Over Lethal?

Ric Flair has a big match coming up against Jay Lethal. Their feud has been going on for well over a month now. It originally featured Flair sending his guys to take care of Lethal. Lethal has usually been successful in getting the win when it counted the most. He finally gets the shot to face Flair himself.

It is obvious that a lot of these "fossils" in TNA are here to give the younger guys a rub. That is a good thing. It is also clear at times that Flair's team usually ends up losing a lot of matches that count. That has been very true in the past few months. It helps to build and protect faces, although protection is sometimes overvalued and there are many ways to build someone.

All that aside, can Ric Flair please win his PPV match against Lethal? Many would say that Ric Flair doesn't need the win. Maybe not. But does that mean that TNA should drain the well and invest back into it? Never give Flair a win again? I am not saying Flair should squash Lethal, but pull off a dirty finish. Lethal would still look strong, while Flair looks good. How would it look if the other members of Flair's stable win their matches at the PPV, but Flair loses? Pathetic. If TNA is serious about finally giving this group momentum, don't leave the mentor out of the mix. It may even lead to another PPV match between Lethal and Flair, with some kind of gimmick even. Lethal can then go over Flair there. Might even be a bigger win for him than just bulldozing over the entire group, including Flair.
