This was perfect because it was imperfect; every time Ric Flair faltered in a transition, it only reminded us that it was just his time to go—and yet, every time he used one of his legendary dirty tricks, we weren’t ready to see his inevitable end. Manipulative, melodramatic, and stunningly resourceful, it speaks to the power of the match that it has actually retained its power. Forget Flair’s TNA run.
This was the end.
