The first entry on this list may not be very obvious but the fact is that it's definitely worth mentioning nonetheless. When Ric Flair worked his last match against Shawn Michaels in 2008, it could not be a more fitting end for the Nature Boy. The 16-time World Heavyweight Champion was able to face not only a great friend but also a man that had admired him growing up. Shawn gave Ric an epic last bout and in many ways it was one for the ages. Of course not only was that match a great way for Flair to leave a mark on the company, he was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on the night before. In a two-day span, fans got the historic induction and then the last match of the man considered by many to be pro wrestling's biggest icon. Much of the speculation surrounding Undertaker's WrestleMania loss is that no one knew it was coming. If the company had truly planned it out months ahead of time, then a Hall of Fame induction for The Deadman perhaps would not have been out of the question for that same weekend. For that matter, he could have been inducted the previous year or the year before that. Chances are, WWE is waiting for The Undertaker to officially tell them he's done before they move ahead with the Hall of Fame. Unless that has already happened, the fact is the company is planning for his return at some point.
