At WrestleMania 24, Michaels will square off against Ric Flair in what may be the final match of The Nature Boy's incredible 35-year career.

And while the spectacle that is the WWE may draw frowns and groans from those who don't fully understand the nature of the business, for Michaels, it doesn't get much bigger than facing Flair on such a grand scale.

"He made everything about the job look great, from being in the ring, partying -- it looked like the greatest job in the world," Michaels said. "If you weren't thrilled about watching him do what he did, you were crazy."

While their match isn't being billed as the main event of WrestleMania 24 (in fact in terms of prestige and promotion it's probably fourth on the card), in the eyes of a number of fans it is the true main event of the night.

And in the eyes of other wrestlers, it is also viewed as the true main event.

"I can't wait to see the match between Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair that could possibly be Flair's last match," said Smackdown star Chuck Palumbo, who will be part of the 24-man battle royal "dark match" that takes place prior to the pay-per-view going live. "I don't want to see that, but I'm a huge fan of Shawn Michaels. That's the guy I watched when I was breaking in."

It's sure to be an emotional match for them, as well as fans who have admired Flair over the years. And that, of course, includes Michaels.

"What he's done for people in this industry is amazing," Michaels said. "I just want to do justice for my friend and what he deserves."
