Flair also discussed the match between the two legends at WrestleMania 18, saying that Undertaker helped him through the contest to have a great showing.

"After The Last Ride, he talks about [how] he had some insecurities too. His were around health problems, bad back and stuff like that, which caused him to be insecure. Mine was all mental but we share that in common."
