WWE: 10 Most Famous Loser Leaves Town Retirement Matches

2. Randy Savage vs. The Ultimate Warrior (WrestleMania VII)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CZJG0WkpqQ The Ultimate Warrior was on top of the wrestling world for the majority of 1990 following his victory over Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania Vi. The match was viewed as a passing of the torch to the WWE's next big superstar. Unfortunately the recently deceased Warrior wasn't drawing as well as Vince McMahon would have liked and he panicked, hitting the reset button and going back to Hogan. The route back there featured Randy Savage, no longer just a Macho Man but now a King, hitting Warrior with his royal scepter at SummerSlam during his bout with Sgt. Slaughter. Slaughter was cast in an offensively exploitative pro-Saddam Hussein gimmick (during the height of the first Gulf War) and was drawing serious heat. What he wasn't drawing was money however, because his WrestleMania main event with the Hulkster had to be moved from the Los Angeles Coliseum to the Sports Arena for "safety reasons" (aka poor ticket sales). The man from Parts Unknown had his sights set on Savage, eager to exact revenge on the Macho King for costing him the title. His Ultimateness made the challenge for a retirement match and Randy accepted. The bout was probably the best of Warrior's career. He kicked out of five of Savage's flying elbow drops and eventually pinned him with his foot on chest. The "little warriors" were going crazy but in hindsight it was an indignity for a revered performer like Savage to be dispatched in such a manner. The real highlight of the match is the aftermath, which saw a tearful Miss Elizabeth run in from the crowd to save her ex from the beating he was receiving at the hands of Sherri. It was one of the most genuine feel good emotional moments in wrestling history.
