I love this match. The only complaint I've had with it is that I wish Flair had won after the Anderson spinebuster, which had me marking out like I was 5 again.

Does JR have a list of the boot size of every wrestler in WWE? He'd have a field day if the Undertaker and Kane teamed up to fight Yao Ming and Shaquille O'Neal. "BY GAWD HER COMES UNDERTAKER WITH THAT SIZE 16 BOOT OF HIS! GOD ALMIGHTY SHAQ COMES BACK WITH A SIZE 24 BOOT".
Anyways, nice match. It's crazy how Flair can use basically 4 offensive manuevers (punch, crotch kick, hit with weapon, Figure Four) and still have amazing match after amazing match well into his 60's. Maybe there is hope for Khali after all.....okay bad example lol

it is sad that Arn's spinebuster seems to be forgotten as a legitimate WM moment. When watching that match happen live, i went crazy when he snapped that spinebuster off. It came out of nowhere and was totally unexpected. Such a great moment. Yes and no. The WWE themselves have brushed that aside, but ALOT of people recall the Arn spinebuster whenever this match is brought up. In fact, I'd say it almost overshadows the rest of the match, which is crazy given how suprisingly great it was. That match was FAR better than it had any right to be EDIT: It's funny how many people crap on Taker's in-ring stuff. When you look on that site, it has 3 terrific examples (and probably more if you look) at how underrated the guy can be at times. Taker/Flair, Taker/HHH and Taker/Kane (WM14) are all there, and while he had some great people to work with, he did way more than just 'keep up' with them.

I love this match. I've never thought that it got the appreciation that it deserves.

This was one of Flairs best last matches he has had since his return to the wwe. I know he had some that were better than they should have been because of his age but this match I didnt feel he was too old to be wrestling during any part of the match
Arn Andersons spine buster STILL the best one ever! Even with one good arm he still does it better then guys with 2 good arms!

I've got WM18 on DVD, and I watch this match way more than Hogan/Rock. Two of my all time faves facing off, pure greatness.

Look at the fan throwing punches with Flair when Flair and Taker go over the annoucer tables. Then gives the Flair woooo! I thought it was ONHD guy for a second!

Oh man, memories. At least now that it works. I love that Arn Anderson spinebuster spot.
