I hope I did it justice because nothing is worse than watching your last Wrestlemania in a place you called home and not knowing that tears would be shed when it was over. . Thank you for 36 years of being the stylin', profilin', jet flying, limosine riding, kiss stealing, wheelin' dealin, imitator tapping, chest slappin, son of a gun! You will be missed! Thanks for the memories!That's the recap and rundown of this year's Showcase of the Immortals. So on behalf of all of us at the Bleacher Report, I like to say thank you, Ric Flair. Even in a bar in Colorado, the 500 fans who came to watch this year's Wrestlemania rose to their feet, raised their glasses, and shed a good Niagra Falls worth of tears for the Nature Boy. Shawn mouthed the words “I'm Sorry.” before he landed the four Sweet Chin Music and scored the pinfall victory that left HBK not even wanting to be seen.
But was the highlight of the match was the ability of Flair to kick out of not one, not two, but three Superkicks. This is arguably the most emotional section of any column I have ever written.After shedding tears when Brett Favre decided to retire, I found myself around a group of guys watching the hardest match of the night. The battle between Naitch and HBK was all it was expected to be. For 36 years, the Nature Boy has styled and profiled in WCW and WWE. Shawn Michaels defeats Ric Flair to retire the Nature BoyOn Saturday night, Triple H got the honor of inducting the 16-Time World Champion into the WWE Hall of Fame. The Undertaker improved his impressive Wrestlemania streak to 16-0, a mark that even Tom Brady and the '72 Dolphins can be impressed with and jealous at the same time. Undertaker applied his devasting chokehold which is being known as the “Rest In Peace” Death Choke.
But they did provide enough of a distraction to allow Edge to deliver a Spear on the Phenom. One…the streak…Two…is…KICK OUT!…not over! Edge set up for another Spear and delivered it with the same amount of force as the previous one, but what happened next he didn't see coming. With the referree knocked out by a big boot from Undertaker, Zack Ryder and Cody Hawkins ran down to the ring to attempt to assist their boss. The only thing they got for their troubles was a chokeslam from the Deadman. During the match, Edge countered almost everything that the Deadman threw at him. In the process, Edge fell victim to a chokeslam, Last Ride, and Tombstone Piledriver. The Ultimate Opportunist took every chance he could to take out the Undertaker, and almost pulled it off.
