10 Huge WWE Upset Wins That Led To Nothing
10 upset wins in WWE that led to absolutely nothing
2. Rico def. Ric Flair - September 16, 2002 episode of Raw
Think of all the legendary names who have beaten Ric Flair over the years. Sting, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage… Now, add a wrestling hairdresser to that list. Doesn’t quite add up, does it?
On the September 16, 2002 episode of Raw, the 16-time world champion was put into a match with Rico, former stylist of Billy and Chuck.
In this four-minute match, Flair contemplated using a steel chair to cheat, only to throw the weapon away and get hit by a spinning heel kick, allowing the leopard print enthusiast to score this monumental win.
And just how did WWE follow this red-hot victory up? By not giving Rico another televised win for the rest of the year!
Flair is one of the greatest of all time, so booking him to lose should not be taken lightly. But, in this instance, it seems like the company had no plans for what to do after this match and no real reason why they’d chosen Rico, of all people, to win.
