Tonight may be the last chance you get to watch "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair stylin' and proflin' as an active wrestler. He takes on Shawn Michaels in a match that is being predicted to be his last. Earlier this week Flair received a key to Columbia, South Carolina and he let some tears flow, and has been choked up several times in interviews this week, leading many to believe that this may be the official end of the line tonight.
Let's have a look at just a few of the literally hundreds of highlights of the 59-year-old, 16-time world heavyweight champion. "Woooooooooooooooo!"
"The Limousine ridin', jet flying, kiss stealin', wheelin' dealing, son of a gun" is the first person to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame while still an active competitor.
To be the man, you have to beat the man and very few did. We at on 205th send our congrats to "the dirtiest player in the game."
Man, first we lose Evel and now Flair is retiring? We're running low on badasses to root for here.
Got any great memories of the legend? Share 'em with us!

Gotta say that my favorite 'Naitch moment had to be in the eighties when he took Jimmy Garvin's valet Precious to a hotel for some "alone" time, only to be knocked out be Garvin's brother Ronnie who was dressed up in drag.
IMO the vintage nature boy is the Mid Atlantic Era Flair when he was battling guys like Harley Race for the NWA title. It's a credit to his greatness that despite never being allowed a clean win during the WCW/Jim Herd/Eric Bishoff era or his first WWE run against Hogan and having to swing from Triple H's nuts during his current run that he's never lost any of his "heat". Just a giant among men....
He put on a hell of a match with Michaels last night considering his age.I agree that his best work was done during the Mid-Atlantic, but my two favorite Ric feuds are easily the one with Steamboat and the one with T.Funk. Classic, total classic.
