Do I think that the match between Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair at WrestleMania was any good? I certainly do and then some. It was the perfect way for Ric Flair to ride into the sunset, or more specifically, into TNA for the remainder of his wrestling career.

But at the same time, having watched the match so many times I could not bring myself to enjoy it one day before WrestleMania. I understand the circumstances that led to this segment being added to the show but at the same time, it could have been devoted to Braun Strowman actually cutting a promo during the show and challenging Goldberg to a match.

Flashbacks are never fun if you've tuned in to watch a show. Imagine watching an old episode of Game of Thrones, midway through the latest episode of the program. Any viewer would be irate.

I just hope that the world returns to normal once again and that we can enjoy all Shawn Michaels matches at will, as and when we desire, on the WWE Network, at our own convenience.
