Many people regard Ric Flair as the greatest professional wrestler of all time. The Nature Boy is a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion and a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. Flair was always immensely entertaining, whether he was stylin’ and profilin’ or delivering the most vicious chops in the industry. Despite being one of the greatest of all time, Ric Flair has only competed on the Grandest Stage of Them All six times in his career. This is because of the fact that he worked for WCW for so long, which meant he missed out on numerous WrestleMania possibilities. So, here are the top 3 Wrestlemania matches of Ric Flair.
Ric Flair competed in his final in-ring bout as an active WWE Superstar before retiring at WrestleMania XXIV. Ric Flair returned to Monday Night RAW in November 2007 after a brief sabbatical from television to address speculations about his future as an in-ring performer. Mr. McMahon, on the other hand, disagreed, issuing an injunction that if Ric Flair lost his next singles battle, he would be forced to retire, making his iconic WrestleMania 24 fight against Shawn Michaels his farewell match. The supporters knew what was going to happen but didn’t want it to happen, thus it was an emotional contest. However, Michaels’ last Sweet Chin Music, which included the lyrics “I’m sorry, I love you,” is now considered one of the most significant moments in WWE history.

While Flair worked for WCW for a long period before returning to the business, he did manage to squeeze in one WrestleMania appearance. This happened during Ric Flair’s WWE Championship defence against Randy Savage at WrestleMania 8. This is an incredible classic ‘Mania match that every wrestling fan should see. Both Flair and Savage have enormous personalities and know how to engage the audience during the match. There are several near falls, and the people in attendance buy into it all, making the bout even more memorable. WrestleMania is all about pitting the greatest against each other in a compelling plot, which is exactly what occurred here.
Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and CM Punk come to mind when fans think of The Undertaker’s WrestleMania record. His No Holds Barred match with Ric Flair, on the other hand, is among the finest of the Deadman’s career. It presents a fantastic narrative with lots of violence to back it up. At this point, ‘Taker was using the American Badass persona, therefore it was a more violent battle from him as he and Flair decided to go to war against one another. Despite the blood and violence, they managed to put together a fantastic story, as one would expect from two guys of their calibre.
