10 Forgotten WWE Matches That Came Right Before Iconic Moments
9. Chavo Guerrero Vs Kane - Ric Flair's Last WWE Match (WrestleMania XXIV)
Chavo Guerrero did a pretty good job of not looking as resigned to his fate as he actually was making his entrance for his ECW Championship match against battle royal winner Kane, probably because he couldn't hear Joey Styles' and Tazz' listless celebration of the match on commentary.
It was the first time the title twice held by the 'Human Suplex Machine' had been defended on the 'Grandest Stage', but that mattered little to both commentators as they earnestly plugged the graft of the man about to be flattened in a match that simply didn't matter.
Bruce Prichard et al would almost certainly welcome this sort of thing as a "let me up" ahead of the extremely hefty encounter to follow, but there's a tacit tragedy to celebrating the legacy of one of the greatest World Champions in history minutes after burying another belt.
This was a night to have cake and eat f*ckloads of it too - WWE were effectively showing the audience why there'd never be many more Ric Flairs just before they put the real one out to pasture in one of the most evocative encounters in company history.
