Triple H was originally planned to retire Ric Flair
Triple H was planned to retire Ric Flair, who had his last match against Shawn Michaels instead. ‘The Nature Boy’ opened up about alternative plans that the company had for his retirement match back in 2008. Shawn Michaels sent Flair into retirement after defeating him at WrestleMania 24.
It marked his last match for Vince McMahon’s company. However, ‘The Nature Boy wrestled in other promotions after leaving. On his To Be The Man podcast, Flair was asked by a fan if other stars were considered to be his opponent at WrestleMania 24. The Hall of Famer said that Triple H was another option for his final match in the company. However, that was not materialized. He said:
“I think just Hunter [Triple H]. Yeah, I don’t think Randy [was to face him at WrestleMania 24]. I wrestled Randy in a way through, Randy was gracious enough [to wrestle him].”
Flair revealed on the same show that Michaels had pitched the idea of retiring him to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. He said:
“Shawn wanted to do it [retire him]. As a matter of fact, I’m so flattered – I think about this – Shawn said, ‘Why can’t I do the retirement speech too?’ I mean, I was so flattered that both he and Hunter [Triple H] wanted to do this,” said Flair.
