It's frankly a minor miracle that Ric Flair wasn't a weeping wreck as he accompanied his daughter to the ring for the Women's Title three-way thanks to her evocative wardrobe choice.

The show-stealing Dallas showdown saw her very literally covered in glory as she walked the WrestleMania 32 aisle in a robe that was made from parts of 'The Nature Boy's own gorgeous garb the night he bid farewell to his WWE career barely a decade earlier. Flair's robe was a glorious daydream in blue on the balmy 2008 Orlando night as he said a tearful goodbye to his life as a full-timer by way of Shawn Michaels' Sweet Chin Music.

His last great effort was immediately etched as a much-vaunted "WrestleMania Moment", but so too was the one he was already a part of here. The fireworks during his daughter's entrance and victorious exit were in tune with the incredible heat her act generated at the time, and served to further the a future Flair legacy on the 'Show of Shows'.
