From Steel Cage and Ladder matches to Ironman matches, The Great One and The Game were made for each other. With each man north of 6'4 and 250 lbs, and their complete opposite looks cosmetically, they were never meant to be anything other than rivals. Vince McMahon must have looked at them both and thought "I've got a better version of Ric Flair vs Harley Race on my hands !*$%!"
