• The Undertaker Broke Character To Show Respect To Ric Flair 10 Years Ago Today (Video)
On this day in pro wrestling history, on March 31, 2008, the post-WrestleMania 24 edition of Monday Night RAW took place.
This night featured the farewell of “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, who lost a retirement match to Shawn Michaels the previous night at WrestleMania 24.
The farewell included a Four Horsemen reunion (Tully Blanchard, JJ Dillon, Arn Anderson & Barry Windham). It would be their only televised reunion until 2012, when they went into the WWE Hall of Fame as a unit, which made Ric Flair a 2 time WWE Hall of Famer.
After RAW went off the air, The Undertaker (who was the World Heavyweight Champion at the time) made his way out and broke character to show respect and congratulate Flair on a legendary career.
