Longtime, respected wrestling columnist Mike Mooneyham recently penned a newspaper column that was largely highlighted by various WWE superstars commenting on the career of Ric Flair.

You can read the full column now, but examples includes:

• “I got to work him at a Raw awhile back and actually had the honor of beating The Man. Beating Ric Flair was just too good to be true It was crazy. It’s been such an honor." - Jeff Hardy
• “He’s my favorite pro wrestler ever in the history of the business. He was the greatest traveling world champion of all time ... Ric Flair was the man. He still is.” - Stone Cold Steve Austin
• “In my life, I bow down to only one person, and that’s Jesus Christ. But in my professional life, I wanted Ric to know, he is the man." - Shawn Michaels

Last night at the Smackdown/ECW house show in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, MVP defeated Jimmy Wang Yang. But the real story took place after this match was over.

MVP continued his assualt against Yang until Matt Hardy ran out from the back to make the save. He laid out MVP and grabbed the US Championship belt, looking at it for a few moments before drapping it across MVP's prone body.

Hardy had been out since January, when he was attacked by Randy Orton on WWE RAW as part of the build-up of the Jeff Hardy/Orton match for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble.
