Last night was Wrestlemania 24. An excellent show overall with some stellar matches including the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the Undertaker's victory over Edge to go 16-0, the surprisingly entertaining Floyd Mayweather-Big Show matchup, and the shocking Triple Threat match where Randy Orton thankfully retained his championship over Triple H and John Cena.
But without a doubt, the highlight of the evening was the retirement match of Ric Flair against long-time friend Shawn Michaels. It was a fantastic match. The emotion was running high and there was nigh a dry eye in the Citrus Bowl. Flair is the greatest wrestler of all-time and, over his 35+ year career, has inspired, influenced, and awed more fans and colleagues that could be thought possible. If you are or at any point were a wrestling fan, or even if you can appreciate a man absolutely mastering his field, I require you to watch the match below (UPDATE: it hath been removed) and enjoy. God bless you, Ric Flair. You will be missed.
