7. Randy Savage Vs. Shawn Michaels - WWF - 1992
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1xqcjh_uk-rampage-randy-savage-vs-shawn-michaels_sport In WWE's just-released Macho Man: The Randy Savage Story DVD, Savage's brother Lanny Poffo tells the story that in 1993, Randy had a deep hankering to start a long-term feud with then relatively new as a singles competitor Shawn Michaels. He probably got the idea that this would work after a 1992 match the two had in Hamburg, Germany that was taped for Coliseum Video release. Similar to the aforementioned Randy Savage/Steve Austin match on this list, it's amazing to watch Savage look into the eyes of a performer that he likely knew was totally inspired by him, and willing to take the standard he set to another level. Just fantastic stuff here, and one of the lost great matches of that era of the WWF.
