2. Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage, WrestleMania III

Date: 3/29/1987
Location: Pontiac, Mich.
Storyline: Booking 101: Heel (Savage) injures baby face (Steamboat). Upon his return, baby face challenges heel for his title.
Winner: Ricky Steamboat via small package, at 14:35
While the crowd was calling for Savage's scalp, the multiple near-falls left them gasping. Both guys worked lightning fast and everything from Steamboat's aggressiveness to the involvement of George “The Animal” Steele played off their past. Steamboat's deep arm-drags were the best argument for wrestling as an art form.
