If you are looking at this message, I assume you are ok with this post today...

Ok, let's start...

A legendary icon has just left WWE...Richard Fleir, a.k.a the Nature Boy, Ric Flair...but I believe, he will come back one day...in a role different from a wrestler.

Flair's got a emotional night at the Hall Of Fame and Wrestlemania, where his career was ended by Shawn Michaels...unwillingly......

The match was stipulated in such a way that, should Flair lose any match from then on (I don't know which edition of RAW was it when the rule was laid down...), he MUST retire.

You can say that Naitch (short form for Nature Boy) had decided to retire long before the rule was established, and WWE have decided to let him retire with glory on the grandest stage of the sports entertainment. Thus, they made up a storyline that will make Naitch retire when he loses any match...

That's what I thought lah...

I watched the show, it was really an emotional night for Ric and his fans as the fans chanted "Thank You, Flair" and Flair lost it...

That, I say can't be fake...I mean after all he's in the wrestling industry for 35 years...I think...and when you are leaving the place where you have so much passion for, and fought so hard for it, you gotta feel kinda like...ya know...I will miss you that kind of feeling...

Here's a video captured after RAW went off air a couple of days ago, where the WWE Superstars pay tribute to Ric Flair.

Even The Undertaker (in case you don't know, he is the man in black trench coat and hat walking out at the beginning of the video) broke out of his dead man persona and embraced Flair, out of pure respect...

Forgive the guy who took the video, guess he got a lil carried away and kinda forgot that he's got a camera in his hand.

I love it when 'Taker got down to one knee and salutes Flair in his trademark pose...



The video not only showed you the departure of Flair, but have also showed you that no matter how "fake " wrestling can be, the friendship, and respect the wrestlers have for each other, are genuine...

Even if in reality, they hate each other to the core, I believe they will still have each other's respect...

Woooooo...
