10 Terrible Wrestlers With One Incredible Match
4. Norman The Lunatic (Vs Brian Pillman, Clash Of The Champions VIII)
An electrifying sprint extremely becoming of 1989 Brian Pillman if not so much the game Mike Shaw, this Clash midcard match stood aloft as the best from a one-note Norman The Lunatic gimmick as well as Shaw's fairly indistinct career.
Finding the most fame as Bastion Booger in WWE several years later, Shaw was, politely, just a generic big guy who did generic big guy stuff. The industry supported his like at the time in sizeable number, but mainly due to the likes of Pillman and others who were capable of using their flashier, quicker attacks to subdue and subtract obvious size advantages.
'Flyin Brian's at his hybrid best here, going three hundred miles an hour during an opening flourish that finds him unleashing his freakish strength with a suplex that pops the arena daft. A crossbody from the top to the arena floor is wild, further bringing out the best of Norman who later follows with his own splash from the top. The audience erupts at the match-winning crucifix with all looking lost, with Norman having kept up to such an extent that it foreshadowed the eventual babyface turn away from manager Teddy Long's cruel control.
