In November 2007, Ric Flair declared that he would never retire. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon thought otherwise and pitted Ric Flair in a number of Career Threatening matches. If Flair lost any of the matches, he would be forced to retire. Flair defeated superstars such as Randy Orton, Triple H, and even Mr McMahon himself along the way.
His final stop came at the WrestleMania pay-per-view in 2008 where he faced Shawn Michaels in a Career Threatening match. Towards the end of the match, HBK set-up for the Sweet Chin Music and muttered 'I'm sorry, I love you.' before delivering the final blow to the already teary Ric Flair.
The following night on RAW, Ric Flair had a farewell party in the middle of the ring. Numerous superstars from Flair's past and present came out to celebrate his career.
Flair's retirement from WWE remained, but outside of WWE he continued to perform for IMPACT Wrestling before calling it a day. once and for all.
