WrestleMania X8 - Undertaker vs. Ric Flair
At No Way Out 2002, Undertaker took on The Rock, and interference from Ric Flair cost the Deadman the match. The next night on RAW, the Deadman challenged Flair to a match at WrestleMania, which Flair declined. Undertaker told Flair that he would make him change his mind, and he did just that.
Over the next few weeks, Undertaker brutally attacked those close to Flair, including best friend Arn Anderson. Once Undertaker attacked Flair’s son David, The Nature Boy finally accepted the match. However, because Flair was then the co-owner of WWE, he had to forfeit all responsibilities to partner Mr. McMahon, who promptly made the match a No-Disqualification Match.
Early in the match, Flair took out his aggressions on Undertaker, pummeling the Deadman from pillar to post. Undertaker was able to turn the tide, and proceeded to methodically pound Flair, busting him open in the process. Eventually, Flair was able to block the Deadman’s attempt to go Old School and make a comeback, hammering Undertaker with a pipe in the process.
The two men then brawled on the floor, with Flair busting Undertaker open in return. After a low blow, Flair applied the Figure-Four Leglock, but the Deadman escaped and hit a chokeslam. The Deadman nailed the referee in frustration, but before he could attack Flair with the pipe, Arn Anderson ran in and gave Undertaker a spinebuster. However, Flair was only able to get a two count, as the referee was still woozy from the earlier attack.
As the match reached conclusion, Flair nailed Undertaker with a chair, but the Deadman was able to shrug off the blow. Undertaker knocked Flair down, then took out Anderson with a dragon sleeper. Following a big boot, Undertaker nailed The Nature Boy with a Tombstone to get the pinfall, running his WrestleMania record to a perfect 10-0.
