5 WWE Superstars who gave their opponent a gift after a match

#2 Shawn Michaels gave Ric Flair a gift (WWE WrestleMania 24)

Ric Flair’s WWE career came to an emotional end when he lost against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24. On the same weekend, WWE inducted Flair into the Hall of Fame and held a celebration for him on RAW.

Former WWE commentator Jim Ross gave his thoughts on WrestleMania 24 in a blog on his website. During his recap of Flair vs. Michaels, Ross revealed that The Heartbreak Kid gave his opponent a Rolex watch after their famous match.

"This WM24 was all about the ‘Naitch.’ I love the guy, as does anyone who is Ric’s friend. I had to wipe tears from my eyes a few times during Ric’s match with HBK, who also had an emotional day on Sunday.

"Ric showed me a custom made Rolex that Shawn presented him to commemorate Ric’s induction into the HOF. Shawn Michaels, who has enduring respect for his boyhood idol, is a class act." [H/T prowrestling.net]

Three years later, Michaels was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on the weekend of WrestleMania 27. As the video above shows, Flair gave his former in-ring rival a ruby-encrusted Western belt buckle containing the letters “HBK”.
