Macho Man Randy Savage's 10 Best Matches Ever

10. Vs. Bret Hart (Saturday Night's Main Event, 11/28/87)

"The Hitman" had already proved his singles mettle in filmed matches against Dynamite Kid and Ricky Steamboat in 1985-86. Come the fall of 1987, WWE was beginning to toy with the idea of a singles push for Hart, and the slender half of the Hart Foundation was going to get his chance on national TV to prove he could hang with one of the best.

Hart would state that Vince McMahon asked him to build the match around him working over Savage's ankle, telling him, "You're the great worker - figure it out." In a bit of irony, both men sustained legitimate lower-body injuries during the match - Hart cracked a bone in his foot taking a bump to the floor, while Savage's lower leg was hurt for real when Hart clanged it a bit too hard against the post.

Savage had to sell the injury anyway, per the pre-ordained story, but the legitimate pains didn't harm the match quality any. Savage's valiant fight against the pain was great drama, and he and Hart built to a bitter end with Savage escaping after reversing a slam into a small package.
