5 Amazing lines said at WrestleMania that still gives us goosebumps

#3 “I’m Sorry. I love you.”

Michaels' final superkick to Ric Flair

Ric Flair had one of the greatest careers in pro-wrestling history, winning 16 World Championships (as per WWE). The 'Dirtiest player in the Game', as popularly called by wrestling fans, had headlined many wrestling events, sold-out buildings, and put on wrestling’s greatest classics. But, at WrestleMania 24, he had to fight Shawn Michaels to save his career.

The match was everything it needed to be: a storytelling masterpiece. From Michaels’ slap to Flair’s taunts; from the former’s reluctance to hit the Sweet Chin Music to the latter’s desire to walk out proudly, fighting like a man, the entire match hit the right notes. In the closing moments of the match, Shawn Michaels, with emotions visible on his face, said “I’m Sorry. I love you.” Then, he hit Flair with a third, and final, 'Sweet Chin Music' to put curtains on a great career.

Michael’s words and everything that happened there in the next few minutes were surreal, yet heartbreaking. Flair received a standing ovation from the crowd, as he embraced his family at ringside, leaving WWE fans with a bittersweet WrestleMania moment. Michaels' words have since truly become the greatest six-word-story told in a wrestling ring.
