6. Macho Man Randy Savage Bloodies Ric Flair (WrestleMania 8)
I've said it before, and I'll say it ad nauseam if need be: the Savage-Flair World Championship storyline for WrestleMania 8 is the prime example of two wrestlers in their optimum element. Flair, as champion, was portrayed as a not-much-of-a-stretch womanizer, gloating that he had bedded Miss Elizabeth long before Savage ever laid eyes on her. With the use of doctored photographs depicting him with Savage's bride, antagonistic Flair made his case. Contra to Flair's arrogant smirk, Savage flew into a maddened rage, and nobody could sell unleashed fury like primal Savage behind his burning eyes. Savage defended his wife's honor with gnashed teeth and predatory assault, busting Flair open so badly that Flair's poof of light-blond hair was stained red in a gory visual. Savage won the title, and mauled Flair a second time post-match, when Flair planted a kiss on Elizabeth's lips.
