Watched Wrestlemania with a few friends earlier tonight. One of the main matches on the card was Ric Flair against Shawn Michaels. The gimmick used lately for Flair is the next match he loses would be his last match. It's pretty appropriate considering Flair is approaching age 60, and some critics say he should have given it up a long time ago.
I know, I know, rasslin's scripted and such. Still, if you've ever even watched a pro wrestling match, you probably know about the influence Flair has in the business. I recommend y'all watch Flair's Hall of Fame induction speech. For all the stuff he's done over the years, he showed a great deal of humility and thankfulness to those that supported him. It's good stuff.
Then, I recommend you watch his match with Shawn Michaels. It was easily the match of the night, which is saying something when the two participants are a combined 100+ years old. Some of the other top acts in rasslin' could learn a few things about how to run a match from Michaels and Flair. It's one of the best matches I've seen.
Anyhoo, it was good stuff, so check out the videos while you can.
