Flair vs. Sting at the last Nitro. This was not the best match they have worked together but sitll was ok. Nothing was wrong with this main event if you ask me. Ric Flair has always given us the fans great matches and moments.

Honestly, I never got into Flair's WWE run at all. He jobbed too much for my taste. Plus, he looked like a shell of what used to be a great wrestler as I got used to all the jobbing.
- His match with shawn at WM24 was indeed almost classic Flair. Although it was still an old guy, with HBK bumping his a$$ off and selling like he had legit hurt himself to give Flair a chance of winning - when we all know this was WWE's send off of the guy. Something I felt was a good idea, because the guy wrestled so many cookie-cutter matches that they put me to sleep. I mean Flair can't flair-flip anymore, run to the turnbuckles for the high-cross body anymore.
- His match with Orton on Taboo Tuesday 2004, which was a cage match and ended with a Flair/Orton handshake - although Flair stayed heel mentor to Triple H at that point, and Orton was still the spunky babyface that turned that way due to Triple H turning on him and winning his title back. Classic Flair due to the bleeding, and the cage - and maybe Orton brought his game during that period too.
- He did a "legends" match with Lawler around 2004-05, that was what it was - but it was still a cool visual.
- I guess some of the Triple H matches were good, but I always hated the fact of Triple H "burying" the guy in the infamous 2005 (or was it 06) "barnshead gunshot" angle match at the PPV after Taboo Tuesday. Where Triple H stood over Flair's lifeless corpse and pretended he had a gun and shot him. "You're like a old horse, Ric." Way to bury somebody, Trips.
- The Vince McMahon match at the Royal Rumble 2002, before the real talent like Hogan came back.
- A few other matches would be like the one against Sting (Final Nitro), but before that I'd say any match with Hogan done between 1991-96. The Vader match at Starrcade 93 to me was still his really last great match because he got to win and be a hero. Most important thing in wrestling, is to be able to ride off to the sunset as a winner and a hero - that's all Hogan ever wanted.
