This is the most brief match on the entire list by some distance. It may seem a trifle odd to include a basic squash-style bout and dub it 'under-rated', but there's a feel-good story to this WrestleMania VI battle. 

At the time, the Big Boss Man was just coming into his own as a babyface in the WWF and by the time 'Mania rolled around, he was set for a match opposite his old tag-team partner, Akeem. 

Known as the 'African Dream', Akeem had previously formed the Twin Towers duo with Boss Man. Their issue was a side show of sorts to Boss Man's main rivalry with Ted DiBiase.

Before the match could even get underway, DiBiase attacked Boss Man before hurling him in for Akeem to destroy. Following a minute or so of quality selling, Boss Man made a spirited comeback that popped the crowd nicely. 

This match is relatively straightforward, but does ably display how good Boss Man was at selling a beating and playing the good guy.
