10 Fluke Wrestling Wins That Actually Worked

5. 1-2-3 Kid Flips The Landscape Onto Its Head (Vs Razor Ramon)

You had to know it was only a matter of time before this historic gem found its way onto this list.

In May of 1993 Razor Ramon was being held in very high regard by the then WWF, coming off the back of a WWF Title programme with Bret Hart and a WrestleMania win over Bob Backlund. The Kid on the other hand was quite green around the gills and hadn't been given much of a chance to show what he was made of as a singles competitor.

That all changed in a moonsault.

Catching Ramon off-guard after an enthralling encounter, The Kid flipped from the top rope and hung onto the more experienced foe for the three count - thus being christened the 1-2-3 Kid.

Understandably, this put Sean Waltman on the map as the new plucky underdog on the block. Yet, it was the programme that followed which slowly turned The Bad Guy into a fan favourite.

Going back and forth into the King of the Ring tournament - where Ramon showed The Kid had earned his respect - Ramon decided to help the young upstart conquer the all-powerful Million Dollar Man who was berating the two at the time.

If it wasn't for this excellent finish, none of these exchanges would have been formulated, and the two Clique members may not have scaled the heights they did in Vince McMahon's company.
