Ric Flair on his retirement match with Shawn Michaels

The Nature Boy is thankful to Michaels for giving him a memorable retirement match at WrestleMania XXIV.

“He carried me in my farewell retirement match, no matter how many people want to think I was holding up my end of it, I was trying to get through it.”

He added:

“At that point in my career I did not have the self-confidence that I needed to have to rise to the occasion and he made it look like I did. I’ve looked back and actually had time the past couple of years to watch some of Shawn’s matches that he had while I was at WCW and Shawn just is a class act.”
