5 pairs of wrestlers with no in-ring chemistry

#3 Bret Hart and Ric Flair

While Bret Hart and Ric Flair were two of the greatest workers of all time, they never had a great match together.

When Charlotte Flair and Natalya have clashed in recent years, WWE has sold the rivalry in part on the premise that it continued a great family rivalry. The uncomfortable reality? The Charlotte-Natalya matches are significantly better than the supposed Hart-Flair bouts to precede them.

To be fair, Charlotte and Natalya are quite good, and their match for the vacant NXT Women’s Championship, in particular, was a legitimate classic. It’s not like they needed to work four-star matches to live up to the previous generation, however.

In his book, Bret Hart blamed the failure of his series of matches with Flair over the WWE Championship on Flair messing them up—claiming the only question was if he were blowing them on purpose or was distracted and not performing at his best.

Their WCW matches down the road were a bit better, but hardly the classes you might expect from two legendary technicians of these men’s calibre.
