I was there as well. In fact, my Thank you Ric, Wooo! sign made TV and the DVD. What a night. The hall of fame was a once in a lifetime experience as well.
That match should have been 5 star match...it had everything...long storyline, promos, and a great build, and they had the crowd at the palm of their hands and they had every emotion in their hands. Everyone was so invested and engaged...I'm speaking about they had both Mark's & Causal fans invested....it was a emotional roller coaster...it was a 5 star to me and to everyone who watched and was there. It's blasphemous that it wasn't a 5 star Match. But I don't care what Dave Meltzer says and thinks...he isn't the man who dictates what's good or not...it's the fans and when the fans love it and go through a emotional roller coaster then that's a 5 star. So too me personally, this match is a 6 star match..it was incredible and took me through so much crazy emotions. Two of the greatest ever, Putting on a Master Piece and making us cry and putting us at the edge of our seats and getting us anxious. Great memory.
Shawn Michaels is the greatest in ring performer in history.Shawn tried to have a great outstanding match every match he wrestled.Shawn and Marty Jennette invented a bunch of new wrestling moves.When Shawn retired raw was not as good of a show for a long period of time.Thats how good Shawn was.That's why I say Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels are the two greatest vwrestlers of all time.
21:19 very impressive of HBK to do that with broken ribs. 23:55 those broken ribs really gotta be hurting HBK because he NEVER fails his bridge out of pin sequence.
So real. So heartfelt. The two best ever. Sadly I don't think we'll ever see anything this good in the business again. I thank you Ric for all the wonderful memories and wish you the best in your final match. You will always be the wheeling, dealing, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing son of a gun and your influence on not just this business but pop culture in general will live on forever. WOOOOOOOO
Ric Flair said it. Wrestling Bret Hart and Shawn are night and day and Bret Hart was no Shawn Michaels. Ric who many considered the GOAT of his era settles that argument. HBK is the GOAT of his era. Thanks to HBK performers today can be athletic innovators and dont NEED to be muscle bound.
Honestly I don't know if anybody could have done this story better. There were other guys that could have been in the role of Ric's final match but could they have done it like Shawn. Could they have given it the emotion he gave it?
Only one who could have done it justice can't wrestle anymore. Brett hart would have put on a hell of a match. Shawn was the last one from th 80s amd 90s who could really put on a show
24:17 was a mess up that’s why Shawn tried to pull Rick over for the pin but positioning wasn’t right. So they went into knee smash into a roll up where if you watch Shawn grabs the ropes let’s go for a 2 count kick out.
I see all these people talking about seeing him in this clip ot at other WWE events. I'm remembering him throwing Ricky Steamboat past my head in a high school gym haha.
We all knew it , ric loves the kid , he has the highest respect for Shawn 😀👍LIKE I'VE STATED 2 BEST WRESTLERS IN THE 70's AND OF ALL TIME RIC FLAIR & DUSTY RHODES .
I know your not the best person In the world but honestly God must have something for you cause look at the life you’ve lived compared to us Blessed is the man
I didn't watch Raw too much after 2012 but when Shawn Michaels retired the WWE lost alot.Just not as good.Some of that happened after Ric Flair retired from WWE too
Mr Ric,,wooooo,party all night and stay a little longer,,Flair.Crazy as it is watching this again brother,watching you watch it,,Watching the man,,walk that isle,,I have no heros..Maybe my grandfather,a wrestling addict whom I stood next to in The 4 H Arena,Wichita Falls,Texas..And watched my Grandfather's eyes tear up as promoter Bob Clay said, John Henry,calm down,My grandfather knew everyone,,and he was the ultimate wrestling fan,,unfortunately with the exception of knowing,events and outcomes were planned,worked,and that night Dr.X had defeated my buddy Danny Hodge for the NWA WORLDS JUNIOUR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP..By slipping the ole object trick in the forehead of his mask,,headbutt,over..My grandfather had Clay cornered and this travesty of injustice he demanded,not asked,that the combatents be returned to the ring and a honorable win be attained without any cheating..

Oldest ride at the park, still got the longest line. Ric Flair will never die.
💀
Ric, bro it's making me cry watching it again. When the greatest do it, it means something.
Shawn Michaels is the greatest in ring performer band wrestling inovater.Ric Flair is the greatest wrestler.Wooo the two Goats!!!!!
I was there to see it...What a very emotional night it was. Glad I was a part of history.
I was there as well. In fact, my Thank you Ric, Wooo! sign made TV and the DVD. What a night. The hall of fame was a once in a lifetime experience as well.
If you guys go to my FB page, I do have a few pics from the event. It was very emotional.
I was there too....sat next to you lol 😆 😂
@@thestevenj.slessgroup9354 was there too, sat next to you
History my arse, hes had six retirement matches since or something haha
Lately when I think about what's wrong with pro wrestling I trace it back to the absence of the likes of Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair.
what's wrong with wrestling now is no psychology anymore
just spot after spots and no selling
no story or character work
@@shoeplayisbad1 EXACTLY
The way Ric gushes about Shawn, you'd think he was his son. I love that Conrad calls him "Little Natch".
That match should have been 5 star match...it had everything...long storyline, promos, and a great build, and they had the crowd at the palm of their hands and they had every emotion in their hands.
Everyone was so invested and engaged...I'm speaking about they had both Mark's & Causal fans invested....it was a emotional roller coaster...it was a 5 star to me and to everyone who watched and was there. It's blasphemous that it wasn't a 5 star Match.

So too me personally, this match is a 6 star match..it was incredible and took me through so much crazy emotions.
Two of the greatest ever, Putting on a Master Piece and making us cry and putting us at the edge of our seats and getting us anxious.
Great memory.
Shawn Michaels is the greatest in ring performer in history.Shawn tried to have a great outstanding match every match he wrestled.Shawn and Marty Jennette invented a bunch of new wrestling moves.When Shawn retired raw was not as good of a show for a long period of time.Thats how good Shawn was.That's why I say Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels are the two greatest vwrestlers of all time.
21:19 very impressive of HBK to do that with broken ribs. 23:55 those broken ribs really gotta be hurting HBK because he NEVER fails his bridge out of pin sequence.
So real. So heartfelt. The two best ever. Sadly I don't think we'll ever see anything this good in the business again. I thank you Ric for all the wonderful memories and wish you the best in your final match. You will always be the wheeling, dealing, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing son of a gun and your influence on not just this business but pop culture in general will live on forever. WOOOOOOOO
Ric Flair said it. Wrestling Bret Hart and Shawn are night and day and Bret Hart was no Shawn Michaels. Ric who many considered the GOAT of his era settles that argument. HBK is the GOAT of his era. Thanks to HBK performers today can be athletic innovators and dont NEED to be muscle bound.
Damn...when they showed Reid crying at the end I lost it too Ric.
Diamonds are forever and so is Ric Flair!
This is a great wrestling match.Natch and HBK are the two best wrestler's ever in my opinion.
Ric Flair Drip go WOOOOOOOH!
I have Gone back and Fourth for years on this GOAT talk. In my opinion I Got Love for Flair But Shawn Michaels Is The Greatest Of All Time. MY OPNIOn
Mt. Rushmore of wrestling for me is
HBK
SAVAGE
Flair
Bret Hart and to throw in an extra for number 5 I'd say Mick Foley.
The two greatest of all times!!! Love both of these guys
Ric Flair is the man woooo
Probably the saddest moment in wwe history
Honestly I don't know if anybody could have done this story better. There were other guys that could have been in the role of Ric's final match but could they have done it like Shawn. Could they have given it the emotion he gave it?
HBK truly the GOAT.
Only one who could have done it justice can't wrestle anymore. Brett hart would have put on a hell of a match. Shawn was the last one from th 80s amd 90s who could really put on a show
24:17 was a mess up that’s why Shawn tried to pull Rick over for the pin but positioning wasn’t right. So they went into knee smash into a roll up where if you watch Shawn grabs the ropes let’s go for a 2 count kick out.
Shawn Michaels and Marty Jennette invented wrestling moves.
This will always be the real last time match!
There’s hardly any selling anymore.
I see all these people talking about seeing him in this clip ot at other WWE events. I'm remembering him throwing Ricky Steamboat past my head in a high school gym haha.

Forever,,they fucking broke the mold when you made you
I guess Sting isnt that important. He wasnt a worker? You didnt have great matches with him, in your PRIME?
Those matches are a part of this match
He didn't mention plenty of people he wrestled. Also, Sting, as much as I love him, has nothing on HBK.
take to to be the man off the screen so we can actually watch the match.
The "I'm sorry I love you" at the end was horrible, sounds like something you'd see in aew
You trolling?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it's a dumbass opinion.

What about, Rics other, 34689753 retirement matches? Lol 😆 🤣
