The Nature Boy Ric Flair is considered by many the greatest wrestler in the history of professional wrestling. He is widely regarded as the best technical wrestler of any era. He holds the record of winning the most number of World titles, with 16 wins to his name.

When Shawn Michaels retired Ric Flair in an emotional encounter at WrestleMania 24, the WWE Universe watched in stunned silence.

The next night on Raw, Ric Flair received the greatest sendoff a superstar could ever get. Triple H gathered Ric's best friends and opponents in the ring, including Ricky Steamboat and Harley Race. They were followed by Ric's family and the entire locker room.

This was indeed a special moment as The Undertaker made an appearance, breaking kayfabe and clapping for The Nature Boy.
