3. Ric Flair vs. Eddie Guerrero (May 20, 1996)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x20cyzy_wcw-nitro-1996-eddie-guerrero-vs-ric-flair_sport Ric Flair was still damn good in his early 40s with Elizabeth and Woman as his valets. He was established as arguably the best wrestler ever while Eddie was fairly new in WCW after debuting a year earlier. This is one of those matches that when you watched it back then you probably didn't think it would go that long because of Flair's status. However, they ended up getting 20 minutes and delivered one of the best Nitro matches ever. In the end, Flair got the win after working over Guerrero's knees for the majority of the match. That set up the Figure Four Leglock for Flair, who got some help from Woman to give him some extra leverage. This is a classic, hidden gem kind of a match featuring two of the best wrestlers ever. Flair went out of his way to make Eddie look like a star.
