Pro Wrestling Illustrated has named Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 24 "Match of the Decade" in its PWI Decade Awards. Runner-ups include Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 21, Hollywood Hogan vs. The Rock at Wrestlemania 18, Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 19, Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25, and Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H vs. CENSORED at Wrestlemania 20.
Here is what PWI wrote regarding the honor: "In addition to being one of the most dramatic and emotional bouts of the decade, it was also a symbolic changing of the guard and a fitting sendoff for Flair, arguably the top wrestler of the second half of the 20th century. Other matches during the 2000s may have been more physical or high-flying, but this match had the emotion and the incredible energy of nearly 75,000 fans hanging on every move."
