30 WCW Matches You Must See Before You Die

24. DDP vs. Randy Savage (Halloween Havoc '97)

In theory, 1997-era Diamond Dallas Page wrestling 1997-era Randy Savage shouldn't be all that great. In 1997, DDP was one year removed from being the surprise winner of WCW's "King of the Ring"-style "Battlebowl" tournament. Also, in 1997 Randy Savage was literally one decade removed from wrestling Randy Savage at Wrestlemania III. Somehow, in Savage's adaption of a brawling style meshing well with Page's sheer determination to be great, this is a spectacle.DDP is one of the last great "blood and guts" babyfaces in wrestling's recent history. If looking for the place where this tradition starts, it's right here.
