ORLANDO -- Wrestlemania XXIV madness took center stage at the Citrus Bowl Sunday night, highlighted by the forced retirement of Ric Flair.
In a "win or retire" match, Ric Flair fell to Shawn Michaels, aka the Heartbreak Kid, in front of a sold out crowd at the Citrus Bowl.
Following his defeat, Flair had tears streaming down his cheeks as he said farewell to 35 years and millions of fans.
Flair spoke with Central Florida On Demand's John Handiboe late last week, and although he was optimistic about victory, he became teary-eyed contemplating possible retirement. You can watch the interview on Central Florida On Demand, Bright House Networks cable channel 300.
