WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently discussed his final encounter in WWE against Shawn Michaels in a recent interview. He disclosed some intriguing facts about the match, which he thinks was critical to its success. Ric Flair was scheduled to face HBK in his last match at WrestleMania 24. However, due to health concerns, Vince McMahon replaced Flair with Bret Hart. The match was made official shortly after. Ric Flair said that he enjoyed the match and it helped make the event special. He also praised Shawn Michaels for giving him an amazing match right before his retirement. When they wrote this story on Bret Hart, they didn't know I was going to be there. So I go out there, and I cut a great promo, and then they roll video. Then they tell me they're replacing me with Bret Hart! I was pissed off. I mean, here I am, I've given them a great match, and now they're firing me! But, you know, it is what it is.
