The 34 best WrestleMania matches ever

#10: Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair (WrestleMania 24)

Ric Flair was far past his prime by this point, so this wasn't a work rate classic, but in his last big match the Nature Boy pulled out some surprising tricks, and the chemistry he and Shawn Michaels had together was incredible.

The match lulled viewers into a false sense of security by starting out slow. The second half was far more memorable.

Shawn Michaels couldn't allow himself to hit Sweet Chin Music on Flair, but Flair had no problems locking in the Figure Four! As the crowd was popping, Michaels somehow managed to reverse the pressure of the move, forcing Flair to break it. The second Figure Four was far more dramatic, with Michaels locked in it seemingly for ages.

Michaels just managed to get to the ropes, and Flair would soon turn around to meet Sweet Chin Music. If the crowd wasn't on fire before, it certainly was when Flair kicked out. After Flair delivered a low blow to Michaels and another dramatic near-fall, Shawn Michaels locked Ric Flair in his own Figure Four, but the Nature Boy got to the ropes.

We saw a roll-up with Ric Flair holding his opponent's tights for another near fall, another Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere, and finally, the famous "I'm sorry, I love you," before one last finisher.

The sendoff Flair got will always live on in WrestleMania lore.
