10 Greatest WrestleMania storylines in WWE History

#8 Flair's Last Hurrah (WrestleMania XXIV)

As one of the greatest to have ever graced the squared circle, Ric Flair achieved everything in his over three-decade-long career in the wrestling industry. In late 2007, despite being in the twilight of his career, he wanted to wrestle for as long as he could. Vince McMahon, on the other hand, had other ideas as he gave The Nature Boy an ultimatum - win all your singles matches and keep wrestling, but if you lose, your in-ring career is over.

And with this began a series of matches where Flair, at the age of 58, had to put everything he had to win and keep his career alive. From MVP to Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, even Triple H and Mr. McMahon himself, Flair defeated every superstar that came in his way. However, with WrestleMania 24 approaching and WWE inducting Flair into the Hall of Fame, it became evidently clear that Flair would eventually lose to someone at Mania. But, to whom?

The answer - The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels. Putting Michaels over as the best of his generation, Flair got Michaels to agree for a match at Mania 24 and initiated a memorable feud that featured some of the best Mic work by the two veterans. Drenched with emotions and with "I'm Sorry, I Love You" on his lips, Michaels brought an end to this feud with Ric Flair's illustrious WWE career in an all-time classic encounter.

Flair made a ton of appearances in the WWE post this famous bout. But his in-ring career was put to bed.
