i remember hating JJ sooooo much back in the day an to grow up an realize he did an amazing job day in day out an it opened my eyes like hes an amazing performer
True. Jay and Double J played their parts incredibly as the opposition. Everyone but Flair made me care at first but I hope Ric really does have closure so we don't get a memory that doesn't hold up to this.
For a 73-year-old man, he didn't do bad. As Bischoff said, the man can let go of the character. The Four Horseman was the greatest group ever in professional wrestling, and Ric was one of the greatest of all time.
I guess that's one way to look at it. Still, although he didn't do bad for a 73 year old, it was a perfect example of why nobody should ever wrestle at that age. It was far from a pretty sight. I'm just very relieved that he made it through the match alive. It was pretty scary seeing him immediately following the match. I hope he just sits back and takes it easy now for the rest of his time on Earth. He's more then earned it.
He's not the only one. Patrick Stewart can't let go of Jean Luc Picard. Paul Walker couldn't let go of Brian O'Connor. It's like you play a character for so long you forget where that character ends and you begin.
7:30 "and I'm the last man he pinned. That's what I do. That's what my job is." --Jeff Jarrett at the post-PPV press conference after Bash at the Beach 2000.
The last shift of a cop, the last class to exit a teacher's classroom, the last patient to leave an elderly doctor's office- all milestones. All of us can still make an impact, though. I would love to see Ric teach young wrestlers how to develop their own unique skills. JMO. God bless all who reach this point in their careers. Much sadness here, but it ain't over yet when it comes to leaving a legacy. Not as long as we have breath in our bodies.
If you know Ric’s life story, you get the sense that he hasn’t felt loved. In that ring, walking down that ramp. Wearing those robes it’s the closest he’ll come to feeling loved by you the fan. It’s not that he can’t let the business go. He can’t let you guys go. And I don’t think he ever will.
I'll put it this way, I never particularly liked Flair (!), as a character, or in other words his role as Nature Boy, but I don't have to, I rather liked Hogan. But no matter what the stories were, I always respected and valued him for his role in the ring as well as when he fought in WCW, ordering and voiding victories. His speech is heartbreaking. but what you do, being on the road as Chris Benoit, is disgraceful, especially with this photo, really ashamed of you, and then comment under a video that everyone knows many will see, and with it your comment "Chris" .
Fuck - Double Jo’s last words with him crying got me to tear up. Thank you Ric for everything. Thank you Double J for doing the job with class. Enough said.
Thank you Ric for everything you have done for professional wrestling over your long and illustrious career. Thank you for bringing the entire wrestling community together to put on this amazing event. Tony is right, you are the greatest professional wrestler ever. Know that you inspired generations of wrestlers to follow in your footsteps. Enjoy your in ring retirement and I wish you and your family nothing but the best for the future.
As a wrestling nerd for 5 years Ric flair WCW world champion, Big gold champion, Four horsemen member and a great carrier, He might’ve done some naughty things but that don’t change the fact that he is one of the best of all time. My favourite match is when he Versed Shawn Micheal at wrestle-mania. Thank you Flair, Thank you flair!
@DMK666 What ruined it for me was not him showing up in TNA. What ruined it for me was him getting back in the ring to continue with actual wrestling matches. I was and am fine with seeing people like him and Hulk making appearances and being used in non in ring capacities.
There will be none greater! Many have came after trying to capture that certain "light" that the Nature Boy stood under for so many years but there will never be one that comes close to doing this crazy thing we all love called professional wrestling like Mr. Ric Flair. Thank you for all the memories, sir. You've influenced so many people from all different backgrounds and eras. You are the greatest of all time and I've been saying it for decades. No one embodied pro wrestling like you.
@@TheMCNemesisOnAmazonMusic you have to look at the longevity of Ric Flair he wrestled at the same magnitude as Triple H and Undertaker but just did it longer / the longest He's not my favorite either but you have to give him that lol.
@@darrendyson8347 what? Ric hasn’t been wrestling at a huge magnitude since the late 1990s, he was just under huge spotlight for years, undertaker was doing great things all the way up until his retirement, Ric after the 2000s hit could only do chest slaps and locks lol, HHH, Undertaker, Michaels, The Rock, Stone Cold, Cena and Orton are all better, hell Orton will probably get to the point of rics longevity but being in way better shape and doing bigger things, but he’s not even in the top 5 out of the names I mentioned, there’s certain category’s you have to use to rate a wrestler and only one of them is in ring ability, the others are things such as Influence, Chatacter/personality, impact, charisma, connection to fans, mic ability etc etc, Ric had all of these but he was never the best in any of them, I’ll give you an example, mic ability stone cold, the rock and Cena were all clear (other names out of the names I mentioned were better also)
Thank you Ric for all the great memories in the ring. My Dad passed away at 52 but I look back and some of my favorite memories I had with him was watching you and everyone in the NWA with him when I was a kid on tv and at the arena. You are truly the greatest of all time in the ring and on the mic.
Ring announcer Gordon Solie said about 50 years ago that Ric Flair would go down in history as the all-time best wrestler, and he was right on the money.
As a pro wrestling fan for over 30 years, PRIME EXAMPLE how Ric flair went out like a undertaker at their own timing for many years and it's hard to let something so good go wrestling is in our blood I know it's mine cuz I cry with wrestlers when I see documentaries I'm not afraid to say that I'm 42 years old I always wanted to be a wrestler but I screwed my life over other things I love stories I love Legends and this was beyond epic the greatest goal the Everlast boots to wrestle has finally put them down to rest my God flare is a God I cried after all this a little bit because I felt the character everything man God bless you wrestling forever
It was a great event, just having Ric in the ring 1 more time in any shape or form was amazing, Jarrett, Lethal and and Andrade were outstanding, it was a huge success going by the numbers.
The first time I ever saw Ric Flair on tv, he was stripping down to his boxers in the middle of a WCW ring and challenging Eric Bischoff to a match. Ever since then I’ve been a fan and when Ric finally went to WWE, I was only drawn in further by the pull of the Nature Boy. Once TH-cam became a thing and all of Ric’s classic promos because viewable, he suddenly replaced Stone Cold as my favorite wrestler of all time. So happy to see Ric Flair go out the way he wanted. Thank you for the memories Naitch.
Not a huge wrestling guy but I do remember that scene on tv. Stone Cold is my GOAT too, but a legend like Flair could easily sway my vote just on a charismatic level.
Hell your just a baby. Hell I seen this man in his prime. No one was better period. Him and Steamboat could go an hour and make it look effortless!! Ric and Ricky could go like you couldn't imagine
Thank you Ric and to everyone who put this show on send more great wrestlers away like this! Kurt Angles last match would be awesome, or whomever as there are countless who deserve one last dance.
You’re absolutely right!!! Still no matter how old they are, I would still love to see Taker VS. Sting!!! One last match for both of them. Go out on their terms!!!
It’s his legacy. He’s earned the right to do what he wants with that legacy. Thanks to the team for doing a great job of telling a story,other than just the last match. Last match alone would have sold,but the old school guy in me felt something very familiar about the story telling.
Love you Ric. Thank you so much for everything you've done in wrestling. I've spent so many years cheering for you and I'm so happy to have had you a part of my life. From the bottom of my heart, you will always be The Man.
Thank you Ric Flair for all the memories and the moments you shared with us. I'll always remember you as the most passionate and genuine professional wrestler ever. It's been an honor to watch the Nature Boy Ric Flair, what a journey it has been ! THANK YOU SIR!!
smash the 👍 friends we are nearly at the point where Natch will go home for eternal peace and rest ,seeing the pain confusion sadness is heartbreaking ..its starting to sink in that he cant do this ever again an to him that is like being gone I hope he knows how much we care an dam near worship him because he has earned it imo he is the GOAT & we **!MUST!** give him his flowers NOW , he has earned them The business will never be the same without him WE LOVE YOU RIC 💚 ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💜#💪🙀💪WOOOOOOOOONATION
I've been watching you for a long long time ....thanks for all the entertainment you have been providing us all these years.I've been a wrestling fan for more than 70 years....going back to the days of Killer Kowalski..Lou Thesz....Buddy Rogers...Pat O'Connor..etc....and I must say "you are the man"....the best in the business....the most dedicated to his craft. Wishing you a long life my friend. August 8,2022.
I was there too. The people who only saw it on TV will never understand. I've seen Nitros, Raws, and Wrestlemanias, but this was the greatest live event I've ever been a part of.
Mr Fliehr thank you for all of the great memories. You are the Greatest. I first seen you wrestle in the Asheville civic center I think you wrestled Wahoo McDaniels. Loved your matches with Dusty & Steamboat. Again Thank you Champ
Ric is underappreciated, he's been in every era and every promotion and every situation, been broke been beaten , been rich and been on top , he's truly a one of one cause anyone else would've just gave in .
He’s one of the most popular, well known, richest, most quoted wrestlers with the largest fan base in history? How is that “under appreciated.?” Whats next, you gonna call him “underrated?”
what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.... Ric Flair underappreciated, ok
Thank you Ric! My dad has always been a big fan of yours, every Saturday we drink beer and watch some of your old matches and promos on here, and always talked about the four horsemen, god bless you Ric

Are you trying to make me cry? Because this is how you make me cry. Thank you for all the years, all the pain, all the hard bumps you've taken to entertain us. You will always be that jet-flyin', limousine ridin', skirt-chasin' son of a gun! You are the best! Much love to you and your family!!!
Thank you Mr. Flair for all of the years you have put in for everyone and your dedication and love to the wrestling business. You are a true legend! You are The Man!👍
Jeff Jarrett, if you ever read this please know you are highly respected and appreciated for the work you've done and the sacrifices you've made for wrestling fans your entire career. Anyone who doesn't agree is a slapnuts!! Total respect for Jeff Jarrett!!
This whole experience was better than anyone could ever ask for. From the first video of Ric and Lethal training to that last clip with Jarrett expressing how great this was. Thanks Ric, and Thank you especially Conrad.
Thank you Ric Flair for everything. You were an inspiration to me and a lot more people. You had great matches, great energy, great WOOOOS and a great personality! Thank you.
Amazing what a night of wrestling & of all the greats coming together to see Ric Flair the Nature Boy one last time in that ring WOOOOOO!! Dosent get better than that! Thank you Ric!!
Thank y ou for sharing your love of wrestling with us. I came to love you at the later part of your career and followed you from your match with Michaels to TNA. Glad that you gotta go out bigger than anyone else. Thank you for the memories.
Ric I know my uncle, David Von Erich, is looking down on you pleased with what you did for this business, and I know he was honored to share the ring with you, even tho it was cut too short. Enjoy retirement buddy, you've earned it
Jay lethal needs to take this situation and build it into his storyline. He’s so good, his mannerisms he’s so old school. The bS w him and Samoa joe and dutt is ok but this is better. Andrade and lethal need to feud man.
I mean, that actually makes sense. You can have a Lethal vs. Andrade feud featuring Flair. Lethal is angry at Andrade for being Flair's tag partner even though Lethal trained him. Flair comes out and supports Andrade, but when they finally face off at a PPV, Flair crawls into the ring with the same brass knuckles from his retirement match. He walks past Lethal and hits Andrade with the low blow. Lethal wins and Flair becomes Lethal's manager.
Everyone subconsciously wanted to see Ric have a Randy the Ram moment. It was ultra hype for the final and l I heard from so many people over that weekend that "The Wrestler" was about to play out for real. Think about it; Ric goes Off the top rope...boom lights out. Most legendary finish of all time. Thankfully that didn't happen, but then again not much happened with Ric anyways for his final match. He was coming out there so slow. I think he Woooed maybe once. Started convulsing and shaking at one point. Not a lot of work from Ric on this. Sad because the training videos with Lethal, Ric was going 100x harder.Very last match ever was prob one of the worst (i dont take anything away from Andrade, JJ, or Lethal in saying that either). With that being said, it was still an electric match and card and the crowd made that happen. I'm glad Ric Flair is still alive but please Ric, stay the fuck out of the ring and stay the fuck away from that Saudi money. God bless you for putting it on the line one more time and let the good times roll my friend.Enjoy all the dimes you and Conrad just made from this shit.
Mr. Flair. Thank you for sharing the Love of your life with us. You just really hit me hard and reminded me of the part of me I buried in my hurt. I want to love myself like you loved your wresting life.
I have great respect for all the people over the years who spend night after night away from their homes and families so that we can be entertained and then go back to our homes and families and get up to work their jobs in the morning. they deserve all of the love and adulation that they get! every bit of it!
Great match Ric. I wasnt born yet when the era of the nature boy Ric Flair started but I have been a fan since the early to mid 90s. To be able to watch the legendary in ring career of the biggest name in professional wrestling come to a close was worth ordering the show. You have always been the man and you will always been the man.
Beautifully done video! 😌 3 things stood out for me. The look in Undertaker's eyes when talking with Rick. Double J's heart rattling comments at the end. And of course the man himself... Slick Rick! Thank you for a lifetime of action!
This is the Man of all Seasons he is truly "The Man" I tip my hat to you sir I am speechless you gave us that watched you time and time again the best of you. Thank you
Thank you Rick Flair, for everything you’ve have done for the sport of professional wrestling. You were my father’s favorite wrestler. All the wrestlers that took part in this event as well, great job. Jeff Jarret & Jay Lethal, you guys did a great job selling & pushing this main event, class act on both your parts. Rick we will miss you brother, WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Mr. Fliehr for everything you have done for us Fans. Thank you for all the passion you gave for this buisness... Once I had the Honor to See you wrestle live in Berlin, Germany back in the 90'. Best wishes and regards from Berlin, Germany!
Ric...thank you for everything you've done. You are the reason why I became a fan of professional wrestling. Many years ago, as a kid, I opened up the TV one Saturday afternoon. As I was flipping channels, I came across you and Roddy Piper going at it and I was immediately hooked. You were a pioneer in the profession during the 1980s. Hogan may have been the bigger draw but you have had a much larger legacy. Beginning with the Attitude Era, so many contemporary stars took a part of what you developed in the 80s and used it as a springboard to develop their own characters. When you watched The Rock giving a legendary promo, you saw Ric Flair of the 1980s ramped up a few notches. When you saw HHH put together Evolution in the early 2000s, it was like seeing Ric Flair's 4 Horseman reincarnated. When you see an icon like The Undertaker come to your last match and watch you with the same reverence that a son has for his father, you know you've done something right. Like all of us, you are far from perfect but your legacy can be seen. You've touched many lives along your journey of life. Now enjoy your retirement.
Jeff Jarrett did an incredible job not only with the lead up but he really made the story special. A true pro

True. Jay and Double J played their parts incredibly as the opposition.
Everyone but Flair made me care at first but I hope Ric really does have closure so we don't get a memory that doesn't hold up to this.
WHAT A HEEL! Just watch how he antagonized the crowd and interacted with people before and during the match. You don't see that kind of stuff anymore.
Indeed
i’ll be honest, Jeff Jarrett really is the unsung hero of this event, kayfabe or not, he damn well made it work. Kudos, sir

Mr Fliehr thank you for all of the great memories. You are the Greatest. I first seen you wrestle in the Asheville civic center I think you wrestled Wahoo McDaniels. Loved your matches with Dusty & Steamboat. Again Thank you Champ
Ric is underappreciated, he's been in every era and every promotion and every situation, been broke been beaten , been rich and been on top , he's truly a one of one cause anyone else would've just gave in .
He’s one of the most popular, well known, richest, most quoted wrestlers with the largest fan base in history? How is that “under appreciated.?” Whats next, you gonna call him “underrated?”
what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.... Ric Flair underappreciated, ok
To be the man, you've gotta beat the man.
Thank you Rick from here in Ireland we love you.
Thank you Ric! My dad has always been a big fan of yours, every Saturday we drink beer and watch some of your old matches and promos on here, and always talked about the four horsemen, god bless you Ric
Ric you will always be an American icon and a huge part of my childhood, thanks for the memories. 🫡
Props go out to Andrade, Lethal, and Jarrett for taking care of Ric and making the match turn out to be a pretty good one.
It was the shits
@@hdgames5689 so is your life, but good people don't rub it in.
@@krystynfunk4201 English is weird but I think when people say something is THE shit instead of just shit, it's actually compliment 🤔?
@Jaime A. who the hell made all these grammatical rules about the word shit lol
@@MugdhaMahdiShams hahaha. Shit can be used so many ways.
It's the shits= bad
It's the shit= good
I took a shit= poop
That's bullshit= that's non sense
I shit my pants= scared
No shit= obviously
Idk why English is like this haha. Just wait until you learn all the different meanings of the word FUCK.
Are you trying to make me cry? Because this is how you make me cry. Thank you for all the years, all the pain, all the hard bumps you've taken to entertain us. You will always be that jet-flyin', limousine ridin', skirt-chasin' son of a gun! You are the best! Much love to you and your family!!!
Thank you Mr. Flair for all of the years you have put in for everyone and your dedication and love to the wrestling business. You are a true legend! You are The Man!👍
A legend that will not be forgotten. A legend to the community.
Jeff Jarrett, if you ever read this please know you are highly respected and appreciated for the work you've done and the sacrifices you've made for wrestling fans your entire career. Anyone who doesn't agree is a slapnuts!! Total respect for Jeff Jarrett!!
This whole experience was better than anyone could ever ask for. From the first video of Ric and Lethal training to that last clip with Jarrett expressing how great this was. Thanks Ric, and Thank you especially Conrad.
Thank you Ric Flair for everything. You were an inspiration to me and a lot more people. You had great matches, great energy, great WOOOOS and a great personality! Thank you.
Went out on a high note and pick the best possible opponent and as always sensational Love to You Ric Flair fan since the early 80s
This may have been Ric Flairs last match, but I hope it is not the end of Ric Flair.
He was fighting Carlos Colon in PR this past weekend...
One of the few people who held a character for so long such a legend!
Amazing what a night of wrestling & of all the greats coming together to see Ric Flair the Nature Boy one last time in that ring WOOOOOO!! Dosent get better than that! Thank you Ric!!
good production! Double J made me drop a tear lol
It was an honor to be in the building for this one
One of The Greatest of all time like no another. When the stair’s come out to see you from the golden Era. Wooooooo 4ever Thank you for this.
Thank y ou for sharing your love of wrestling with us. I came to love you at the later part of your career and followed you from your match with Michaels to TNA. Glad that you gotta go out bigger than anyone else. Thank you for the memories.
Ric I know my uncle, David Von Erich, is looking down on you pleased with what you did for this business, and I know he was honored to share the ring with you, even tho it was cut too short. Enjoy retirement buddy, you've earned it
Broo Erich boy? That's insaneee
Your Kevin's son? I always thought Kevin was the best of the Von Erichs wrestling and on the mic tell Kevin we miss him but love him always
Jay lethal needs to take this situation and build it into his storyline. He’s so good, his mannerisms he’s so old school. The bS w him and Samoa joe and dutt is ok but this is better. Andrade and lethal need to feud man.
No. The match is over and done.
I mean, that actually makes sense. You can have a Lethal vs. Andrade feud featuring Flair. Lethal is angry at Andrade for being Flair's tag partner even though Lethal trained him.
Flair comes out and supports Andrade, but when they finally face off at a PPV, Flair crawls into the ring with the same brass knuckles from his retirement match. He walks past Lethal and hits Andrade with the low blow. Lethal wins and Flair becomes Lethal's manager.
@@randomtees exactly
Whoever shot this did a phenomenal job. Everything looks so smooth and precise with the camerawork.
One of my childhood hero's, what a resilient Son a gun!!!Charlotte North Carolina.....Whooooooooooooooooooo
Loved the match , the whole card was great, Conrad needs to do a last match series
It's coming. Apparently Thuzio bought the last match of concept
Who they plan on doing, I heard Harlem heat but Booker didn't wanna
Kudos to Jeff Jarrett also for being a consummate wrestler
Thank you Ric for all those years of entertainment..God bless you and your family and God bless America 🇺🇸
For a man at that age to do something that incredible is beyond words.
I didn't see a match I saw poetry in motion. WWWOOO!! Thank you Mr. Flair🇺🇲👍
WOOOOO!!!
WOOOOOO!!!
This was amazing! Whoever did this video, did a fantastic job! My only gripe is that I wish it was longer. Long live the Nature Boy!
Jeff Jarrett, just gave me chill bumps and at Oh WOW, You're name will never be forgotten.
Beyond Remarkable.
Everyone subconsciously wanted to see Ric have a Randy the Ram moment. It was ultra hype for the final and l I heard from so many people over that weekend that "The Wrestler" was about to play out for real. Think about it; Ric goes Off the top rope...boom lights out. Most legendary finish of all time. Thankfully that didn't happen, but then again not much happened with Ric anyways for his final match. He was coming out there so slow. I think he Woooed maybe once. Started convulsing and shaking at one point. Not a lot of work from Ric on this. Sad because the training videos with Lethal, Ric was going 100x harder.Very last match ever was prob one of the worst (i dont take anything away from Andrade, JJ, or Lethal in saying that either). With that being said, it was still an electric match and card and the crowd made that happen. I'm glad Ric Flair is still alive but please Ric, stay the fuck out of the ring and stay the fuck away from that Saudi money. God bless you for putting it on the line one more time and let the good times roll my friend.Enjoy all the dimes you and Conrad just made from this shit.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
whew...
Thank you Ric. You’re the all-time greatest!
Mr. Flair. Thank you for sharing the Love of your life with us. You just really hit me hard and reminded me of the part of me I buried in my hurt. I want to love myself like you loved your wresting life.
Wooooooooooo
One and only natch
I have great respect for all the people over the years who spend night after night away from their homes and families so that we can be entertained and then go back to our homes and families and get up to work their jobs in the morning.
they deserve all of the love and adulation that they get! every bit of it!
Great match Ric. I wasnt born yet when the era of the nature boy Ric Flair started but I have been a fan since the early to mid 90s. To be able to watch the legendary in ring career of the biggest name in professional wrestling come to a close was worth ordering the show. You have always been the man and you will always been the man.
Grew up watching him. This was a wonderful to watch. Was never one of my favorites but he damn sure was the best to ever do it.
Was in attendance. The pop for Flair was absolutely amazing. My 1st time to Nashville and this was the highlight for me.
Beautifully done video! 😌 3 things stood out for me. The look in Undertaker's eyes when talking with Rick. Double J's heart rattling comments at the end. And of course the man himself... Slick Rick! Thank you for a lifetime of action!
Thank you,Nature Boy and God bless you and your family from Vermont.
This is the Man of all Seasons he is truly "The Man"
I tip my hat to you sir
I am speechless you gave us that watched you time and time again the best of you.
Thank you
I concur
Jeff's a real pro. I wish Vince made him bigger in earlier years.
Love this!
Flair, you're the best in the business!
Dude. That hug from Renee is one of the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Thank you Rick Flair, for everything you’ve have done for the sport of professional wrestling. You were my father’s favorite wrestler. All the wrestlers that took part in this event as well, great job. Jeff Jarret & Jay Lethal, you guys did a great job selling & pushing this main event, class act on both your parts. Rick we will miss you brother, WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Mr. Fliehr for everything you have done for us Fans. Thank you for all the passion you gave for this buisness... Once I had the Honor to See you wrestle live in Berlin, Germany back in the 90'.
Best wishes and regards from Berlin, Germany!
always and forever the Man!!!! Thank you for the memories Ric...
Nothing but LOVE for you Ric!
Ric...thank you for everything you've done. You are the reason why I became a fan of professional wrestling. Many years ago, as a kid, I opened up the TV one Saturday afternoon. As I was flipping channels, I came across you and Roddy Piper going at it and I was immediately hooked. You were a pioneer in the profession during the 1980s. Hogan may have been the bigger draw but you have had a much larger legacy. Beginning with the Attitude Era, so many contemporary stars took a part of what you developed in the 80s and used it as a springboard to develop their own characters. When you watched The Rock giving a legendary promo, you saw Ric Flair of the 1980s ramped up a few notches. When you saw HHH put together Evolution in the early 2000s, it was like seeing Ric Flair's 4 Horseman reincarnated. When you see an icon like The Undertaker come to your last match and watch you with the same reverence that a son has for his father, you know you've done something right. Like all of us, you are far from perfect but your legacy can be seen. You've touched many lives along your journey of life. Now enjoy your retirement.
