WWE News Ric Flair's thoughts on not appearing in the final match at WrestleMania 24 Mar 31, 2008 - 09:42 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Many wrestling fans were hopeful that Ric Flair's match against Shawn Michaels would be placed in the main event slot at WrestleMania 24. As reported in the three-part story on Flair's retirement that was re-posted after WrestleMania last night, there was even a pitch made by a creative team member to have the final shot of WrestleMania be a spotlight on Flair's boots and robe in an otherwise darkened stadium. However, Flair strongly disagreed with those sentiments when the idea was brought up to him during a press conference held prior to the WWE Hall of Fame convention. Flair told reporters that nothing is more important than the title belts and insisted that his match with Michaels did not belong in the main event position. Powell’s POV: What a class act. I'm sure Hulk Hogan will want it the same way when he hangs up the boots. Yes, that was sarcasm.
