All language subtitles for 50 Greatest WrestleMania - EP-34 - Shawn Michaels VS. Ric Flair (ซับไทย) (2008)

[MUSIC]

Introducing first,

from San Antonio, Texas,

The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.

[MUSIC]

>> Speaker 2: Shawn Michaels
has found himself in a one

of the most unique situations of
his magnificent and storied career.

A range of emotions that
Shawn Michaels has experienced in

the past 24 hours has run the gambit.

Shawn Michaels just last night sitting
on the front row when Ric Flair was

inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

And as many of us were, tears were flowing
down the face of the Heartbreak Kid.

That what Shawn Michaels is challenged

to do tonight may certainly

give new meaning to the cliche,

to the marketing term of Heartbreak Kid.

[MUSIC]

It is Mr. WrestleMania that
Ric Flair wanted here tonight.

And I will assure you, ladies and
gentlemen, that it is Mr.

WrestleMania that the Nature Boy will get.

[MUSIC]

[NOISE]

[MUSIC]

>> And making his way to the ring,

from Charlotte, North Carolina,

the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

[MUSIC]

>> Speaker 3: Well, no one has styled,

no one has profiled quite like that man.

Look out through this huge crowd and

all the woes that you're gonna see and
hear here tonight.

[MUSIC]

There's just absolutely never been
anyone like Ric Flair, has there?

>> Speaker 2: Absolutely not,
and there never will be again.

Tonight we celebrate Nature Boy Ric Flair

as he walks to the ring with pride,

with conviction, and with confidence,

[MUSIC]

That on Sunday night, March 30th, 2008,

that he will once again
rise to the occasion.

>> Speaker 3: Well,
it's just like Triple H said last night,

the Hall of Fame induction,
Ric Flair is and always will be the man.

And there is Ric Flair's
family right here at ringside.

[MUSIC]

Flair forever.

[MUSIC]

>> Speaker 2: What an amazing environment,
a larger-than-life spectacle that I wish

you all, wherever you are around
the world could be here tonight and

feel it as we are feeling it now.

[MUSIC]

>> Speaker 3: And over the years,
nobody has done the pump and

the pageantry as well as Ric Flair.

>> Speaker 2: Thousands upon thousands
of fans that have traveled from

around the world standing on their
feet in respect of Nick Ric Flair and

his quest to continue his storied career.

[NOISE]
>> There it is,

vintage Flair, vintage Nature Boy.

[NOISE]

>> Shawn Michaels with the first
offensive advantage of the contest.

Michaels will be the quicker of the two.

Goes without saying, but Flair has a,
Flair may have taught Shawn Michaels all

Shawn Michaels knows, but
he hasn't taught him all Ric Flair knows.

>> Speaker 3: Well, I think that Shawn
Michaels actually was gonna go ahead and

do a Ric Flair strut there for a second,
but he thought better of it, and

I think that's a good wise decision.

[NOISE]
>> Shawn Michaels reversing

the hammerlock.

Nicely done but
quickly reversed by the Nate.

>> [INAUDIBLE] Flair pulls over and
Michaels' right back to the hammerlock.

[NOISE]
>> Such

an amazing setting because if
Ric Flair is the greatest of all time,

how do you argue that
Shawn Michaels is not.

>> Look out.

[NOISE]
>> Well, Flair said that himself.

That's what this match is all about.

Flair wanted to be in the ring
with the best here tonight

on wrestling's grandest stage and he is.

[NOISE]

Back it off that about, one, two.

Back it out of the corner, Michaels and
Flair, back it off, one, two, three.

Back it off, get him off.

>> Old Yeller?

Old Yeller?

Ooh.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 1: My.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: I think Flair,

there you can see his lip, apparently
busted at the hands of Shawn Michaels.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: They're taking exception.

>> You're brother.

>> First blood.

>> Speaker 1: May not be the last.

[NOISE]

>> Speaker 2: Good grief,

man, it's

a chop fest

out here.

>> Michaels sets makes a mistake,
Flair capitalizes.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: Could that be

a sign of things to come?

Flair's are gonna make many mistakes,
I will assure you.

>> Speaker 1: That patented knee
drop right across the forehead.

>> Speaker 2: I think Michaels
slapped to Flair's face.

>> Speaker 2: Gave Flair some additional
momentum and motivation here tonight.

But that elbow again to the front of the
mouth of Flair, slows down The Nature Boy.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: Michaels still looking

to take a chance.

>> Speaker 1: And
Flair taking a page out of his own book.

>> Speaker 2: Michaels
taking an early chance.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: And now,

Flair climbing to the top.

>> Michaels attempting to slam Flair.

>> Look at this.

>> Speaker 2: And Flair with a crossbody,
Flair with a crossbody.

>> Speaker 2: It works,
[LAUGH] this is a historic match.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: Flair,

you see it Flair going,
focusing on the the knee and

the leg of Shawn Michaels.

>> And Michaels throwing
caution to the wind here.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 1: There on there.

>> Speaker 1: Wait a minute,
wait a minute.

>> Speaker 2: Look out here.

>> Speaker 2: Look out, good grace.

>> Speaker 2: God sakes,
my God, my God, my God.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: Michaels-

>> Speaker 1: What in the world?

>> Speaker 2: Anguish on his face,
pain etched on his face.

Michaels missed the mark and
exploded into this table, unbelievable.

>> Speaker 1: Mr. WrestleMania,
as you said, missing the mark.

He may have cracked ribs.

>> Speaker 1: My god.
>> Speaker 2: The Showstopper may have

just stopped his own show.

>> Speaker 1: Four.

>> Speaker 2: Referee Charles Robinson.

>> Five.

>> Speaker 2: Is at the five with
a ten count at his disposal,

Michaels could be counted out here.

>> Speaker 2: Seven.

>> Speaker 1: My gosh,
Michaels able to somehow make it back

into the ring before that ten count.

>> Speaker 2: Can Michaels even
breathe after this collision?

>> Speaker 1: Look at Flair still fast
enough to get out of the way of that of

that incoming.

>> Speaker 2: The ring savvy- [NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: The ring

savvy of Flair and
the wherewithal to move out of the way.

[NOISE]

>> Speaker 2: Flair, back suplex,
Flair's got to capitalize here early.

Michaels in trouble, Flair with a cover,
Flair's got the left hook.

And Charles Robinson, who has been
a Ric Flair fan his entire life,

quite frankly and
honestly did find a two count there.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: Flair

with the straight right hand,

trying to continue to widen
the advantage offensively.

And Flair now again, hooks the leg, and

got a near fall again,
Ric Flair pressing the issue.

>> Speaker 1: Well, Flair certainly.

>> Speaker 2: Everything Ric Flair is
doing now is ravaging Michaels' body.

Michaels is hurting,
no doubt, from head to toe.

>> Speaker 1: Well,
Flair certainly took exception,

to that old reference Yeller that
Shawn Michaels made earlier.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: Look at Flair,

the standing vertical suplex.

The strength, the technique perfectly
executed by The Nature Boy.

[NOISE]
>> Flair with a cover again and

I don't want it.

>> Speaker 1: Well, I do believe we're
seeing Ric Flair at his absolute best.

Jared, did you ever see
the movie Old Yeller?

Look at this.

>> Speaker 2: I saw it,
and there's another cover.

And I'm seeing Ric Flair continuing
to press the flesh on Shawn Michaels,

go body to body, move for move.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 1: I went back and watched that

movie Old Yeller, they didn't put the dog
Old Yeller down because he was too old.

It was because he got rabies and right
now, Flair is acting like a rabid dog.

There's nothing more
dangerous than a rabid dog.

[NOISE]
>> Speaker 2: Michaels with a neck breaker

just in time, if you're Your money's

on Shawn Michaels because Michaels has
been on the receiving end again and

again after taking that amazing
chance that did not pay off earlier.

[NOISE]
>> And

man, Michaels showing no surcease for
Ric Flair, Flair being elevated

over the top rope all the way to
the floor as we saw the awkward way,

the uncomfortable way, Flair, Landon,
what in the heck is Michaels doing here?

>> Speaker 2: Well,
we've seen that Michaels will attempt just

about anything in this match, now what?

>> Speaker 3: The moonsault, the moonsault
I think found its mark this time,

we're knocked down, but
what price has Michaels paid?

[NOISE]
>> And the referee back in the ring,

you see him?

[NOISE]
>> You

said Shawn Michaels pulling out
all the stops with a moonsault,

a double count out would be a loss for
Ric Flair.

>> Speaker 4: Seven,

eight, nine.

[NOISE]
>> It looked as if

Flair had the opportunity to sidestep

most of Shawn Michaels moonsault there.

If not Flair, there's no way
Flair made it back in the ring.

[NOISE]

>> Michaels explodes with a floor
in Flair's face, and now Michaels,

you can almost feel, ladies and
gentlemen, the tide turning.

>> Speaker 2: You're right,
the tide is turning,

both these men's taking turns lighting
each other out with [INAUDIBLE] now.

>> Michaels with the advantage.

[NOISE]
>> Michaels

inverted atomic drop and
right hand as Flair in big trouble.

[NOISE]
>> Michaels could

have sustained broken ribs from
that missed moonsault that

destroyed the announce table,
destroyed our monitors.

>> Speaker 2: And then after that,
he went for a second moonsault, and

now what's Michaels going for here?

>> The Showstopper hits with the elbow.

[NOISE]

>> Michaels couldn't pull
the trigger on the Nature Boy does.

>> Speaker 4: My gosh,
he who hesitates is lost.

>> Speaker 3: There's legendary figured
for leg lock is applied to Shawn Michaels.

>> Speaker 2: [INAUDIBLE] Ric Flair, he is
the dirtiest player in the game, my gosh.

>> The unequal competitive
spirit of Ric Flair

taking advantage of Shawn Michaels.

>> Speaker 2: Shawn Michaels hesitation,
he hesitated and it's gonna cost him.

>> Speaker 3: Shawn Michaels-
>> Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

>> Speaker 3: Now Michaels-
>> Wait a minute.

>> Speaker 3: Michaels has
reversed the pressure.

[NOISE]
>> Flair got to the ropes,

referee calls for a break, and
now let's assess the damage.

[NOISE]
>> I don't see how either of these two

men are on their feet.

[NOISE]
>> Bear

side headlock [INAUDIBLE]
a combination here.

>> Michaels trying, [INAUDIBLE] get three.

No.

[NOISE]

>> Michaels trying to bridge out his body

wouldn't allow it.

Back to our announce table.

>> A counter by Michaels,
a counter by Michaels.

[NOISE]

>> Michaels refusing to that
Flair out of the corner.

Maintaining advantage,
maintaining [INAUDIBLE] reversal,

reaper velocity, we're [INAUDIBLE].

[INAUDIBLE], now we're talking
dirtiest player in the game.

[NOISE]
>> Ric Flair capitalizing

on that vulnerability,
Shawn Michaels with his back turned and

he suffered the vicious
chat block from Nature.

>> Speaker 1: The intensity
of the greatest of all time.

Here we go, dear, this could be,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

Inside cradle, the inside cradle counter,
the attempted figure-four

[NOISE]
>> Flair ducks the.

>> He's got the figure-four again.

>> Flair's got the figure-four,
can Michaels survive it?

Flair figure-four locked in, and
Shawn Michaels being tortured by the man,

Michaels grew up idolizing shoulder, bam.

>> Michaels literally screaming, rising
in pain, he's gonna have to try if he

can to get to the rope cuz he's
in the center of the ring.

>> Speaker 3: Michaels
is in a desperate stage.

>> Speaker 3: Look at
Flair pull Michaels back.

>> Speaker 3: A legend, Ric Flair pulling
Michaels right dead center in the ring.

[NOISE]
>> Michaels can't last much longer.

[NOISE]
>> [LAUGH] Flair rolled through that

counter.

[NOISE]
>> Where use Michaels momentum,

but Michaels finally
too close to the ropes.

The crowd doesn't like it, it was the only
thing Michaels could do to survive.

But the bottom line is that Shawn Michaels
has damaged goods as we speak,

thanks to the figure-four.

[NOISE]
>> This is Flair's best opportunity

to be victorious in this match,
he's got to stay on the offensive,

he's got a camouflage here.

[NOISE]
>> Come on,

there's no time to style and profile now.

>> Speaker 1: Michaels pulls himself.

>> No.

>> My God.

>> No.

>> Speaker 3: Flair walked
into Sweet Chin Music,

a thunderous Superkick to
the face of Ric Flair.

[NOISE]
>> Michaels ravaged body,

Michaels-
>> With the arm over.

>> Speaker 2: Is this it?

>> [LAUGH]
>> Speaker 3: Ric Flair's

in ring wrestling life is continuing.

[NOISE]
>> I don't think

Shawn Michaels has ever delivered
a more picture perfect.

Sweet Chin Music than that and
it still didn't keep Flair down for

the three count.

>> Speaker 2: But Ric Flair continues
to prove why he is The Man.

Flair has survived this amazing
effort by Shawn Michaels.

Mr. WrestleMania couldn't
pull the trigger earlier.

>> Wait a minute-
>> Did instinctively.

Now HBK is tuning up the band again.

[NOISE]

>> Get up, get up.

[NOISE]

>> Screaming at Flair to get to his feet.

Well, JR,
this may be the end of Old Yeller.

Michaels said that he was gonna take
Flair behind the barn and put him out of

his misery, but my question is, in
the heart of Shawn Michaels, can he do it?

Michaels has gotta be conflicted.

>> Speaker 2: [LAUGH]
>> And Flair with a low blow.

The referee could not have seen it,
and The Nature Boy knows it.

And now, can Flair win it?

Can Flair win it with a low blow?

>> One, two.

[NOISE]
>> Michaels is a second

away from losing this amazing wrestling
match here tonight at WrestleMania XXIV.

[NOISE]

>> To be the man, you gotta beat The Man.

And can Shawn Michaels
beat The Man tonight?

Look at this.

>> Speaker 2: My gosh, I can't believe it.

>> Speaker 2: Michaels inverted
version of the figure-four.

How prophetic is this?

It was Flair's figure-four, now Michael's
submission maneuver on Flair's legs.

>> Speaker 1: No, no,
this just would not be right.

[NOISE]

>> Speaker 2: Into the hold.

>> Out of desperation,
The Nature Boy got to the ropes.

>> That's it, thumb to the eye.

Flair with a thumb to the eye,
fighting for his survival.

>> Speaker 1: Well, but
he's gotta be very, very careful.

That's a couple of things that Flair
has done behind the ref's back but

if he gets disqualified.

>> Speaker 2: Wait a minute.

>> There's a cover.

>> Speaker 2: What, was that a three?

>> Speaker 2: Flair got the cradle.

He got a long two count indeed.

Flair may have had the tights there.

I couldn't see from my position,
wouldn't surprise me.

[NOISE]

>> My God, how intense is this?

How much can their chest take?

>> Speaker 2: Michael's body is-
>> Again.

>> Out of nowhere.

>> Speaker 2: It's like the big
right hand, but it was a big right

boot from downtown,
out of nowhere, in a heartbeat.

>> Speaker 1: Desperate men
do desperate things, and

that was purely out of desperation.

Flair was lighting up Shawn Michaels.

>> Speaker 2: A look on Shawn Michaels
space tells another story.

[NOISE]

>> Speaker 1: Do you want to fight?

>> My God, what a shot.

Michaels, will it be?

Yes, yes.

[MUSIC]

>> Here is your winner,
The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.

[MUSIC]

>> Shawn Michaels hesitated,
and hesitated,

and contemplated but
he had to do what he came to do.

Michaels did exactly
what Ric Flair demanded,

the very best of Mr. WrestleMania.

[MUSIC]

>> [INAUDIBLE]
Hurting Shawn Michaels most,

his broken heart or
his broken ribs, just what's this?

You read lips?

I'm sorry, I love you.

And Michaels did exactly
what Ric Flair would

have done if the roles had been reversed.

JR, we saw it.

It's what Ric Flair wanted Shawn to do.

Flair made it to his feet and said,
come on, come on, give it to me.

>> [APPLAUSE]

>> Over 70,000 fans paying their respects

to the greatest to ever
lace a pair of boots.

>> [APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC]
