It was one of the most emotional moments in WWE history - when Shawn Michaels retired Ric Flair at WrestleMania 24

There wasn't a dry eye in the house for today's WrestleMania memory as the legendary Ric Flair bowed out of the business.

"I'm sorry... I love you."

There are no five words which are perhaps more famous - or heart-rendering - in WrestleMania history than those spoken by Shawn Michaels before he nailed the Nature Boy with one last Sweet Chin Music in Orlando in 2008.

It was the perfect end to a beautifully-executed storyline, and a superb conclusion to a glittering career in the business for arguably the greatest of all time.
