Flair wrestled with NWA, WCW, TNA, but his two greatest moments came in WWE- The 1992 Royal Rumble (his first WWF championship win) and WrestleMania 24 (his retirement match).

On Wooooo Nation Uncensored show with Mark Madden, Ric Flair spoke about how he felt that in WWE there was no animosity about him being a better performer than somebody else.

Flair said, “I owe Vince McMahon. I will for the rest of my life.”  

McMahon didn’t force ‘The Nature Boy’ to become anything else. Hence, Ric Flair retained his character until his swansong against Shawn Michaels. The WrestleMania 24 match had all the elements to give the legend a worthy goodbye from wrestling.
