From Shawn Michaels to the man whose career HBK ended at WrestleMania XXIV. Going into that Mania, The Nature Boy was embroiled in a story with Vince McMahon where the boss made it clear to Flair that the next match he lost would be his last. This culminated in a match at the Showcase of Immortals against Mr. WrestleMania himself.

Not many gave Flair a chance of coming out the victor, but the two legends still managed to create enough drama to make the viewer believe that the Dirtiest Player in the Game might just be able to pull out one last victory. It wasn't to be however, with Michaels delivering Sweet Chin Music after telling Flair that he loved him. It was a truly emotional moment in modern professional wrestling.

Flair would go on to sully this moment a little by bleeding all over TNA rings, but if we view this as the end of his in-ring career for real it was a wonderful way to go out.
