10 Iconic WrestleMania Moments Nobody Will Ever Forget

9. Shawn Michaels Ends Ric Flair's WWE Career - WrestleMania 24

Ric Flair is professional wrestling. No other performer before or since has had the swagger, the ability and the showtime that Ric possessed and every time he stepped into the ring, fans knew they would get their money's worth. Unfortunately, they also knew it would one day come to an end. Enter Shawn Michaels, the man that many consider to be the heir apparent to Flair as the greatest of all time. The Heartbreak Kid was Michael Jordan to Ric Flair's Wilt Chamberlain, the one that took all the intangibles that Flair possessed and magnified them thanks to his heart and passion for the business. So when the time came for The Nature Boy to hang up his boots in WWE, Shawn was the man called upon to be his last dance partner. WrestleMania XXIV was the night that two legends faced off in the squared circle, the night that Ric met his maker thanks to an "I love you" and Sweet Chin Music. This match and the finish itself are both indelibly etched into the fans' memory. No one who was there or watched on TV will forget how they felt when the saw a legend take his last ride into the sunset. Ric Flair deserved a hero's farewell in the ring and that is exactly what WWE gave him.
