3* His return to WCW and reformation of the Horsemen, ''Nitro'' September 14, 1998.
4-->[crying] "Thank you....thank you very much. I'm almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the 25 years that I spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute of it!"
5* Even more bittersweet: Flair closing the curtain on WCW, March 26, 2001.
6** In interviews, he clarified that he's inwardly ''rejoicing'', having finally won his freedom from that absurd company. If he cries ''this'' much when he's HAPPY...
7* Flair's final match at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} 24'' against Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, which was topped the very next night on ''Raw'' when the entire active WWE roster, several legends (including his old compatriots the Four Horsemen (Wrestling/ArnAnderson, Wrestling/JamesJDillon, Tully Blanchard and Wrestling/BarryWindham), old enemies like Wrestling/RickySteamboat, and old allies like Wrestling/GregValentine), and even Wrestling/TheUndertaker and [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]] himself came out to give Flair a send off the likes of which will probably never be duplicated or matched ever again.
8--> '''Shawn''': ''<preparing the finishing blow>'' I'm sorry. I love you...
