10 Wrestlers Who Guided Other Wrestlers To Great Performances
1. 'Macho Man' Randy Savage Vs. The Ultimate Warrior (WWE WrestleMania VII)
The greatest carry-job in the history of major professional wrestling, bar none. The love that wrestling has for myth and legend might mean that Bret Hart's famous carrying of Tom Magee gets more attention, but Randy Savage carried The Ultimate Warrior to an all-time great match on the grandest stage of them all.
It is a shame that Hulk Hogan and Warrior get lumped into the same bucket by most commentators. People only seem to remember the failed passing of the torch from one bodybuilder to another, as better workers remained under-appreciated because of Vince McMahon's obsession with muscles. This doesn't do justice to how good Hogan was, and how unbelievably poor Warrior was.
Make no mistake about it, The Ultimate Warrior was an all-time bad professional wrestler. He didn't really improve either, so Savage's carry-job at WrestleMania VII has to be considered one of the best individual performances in wrestling history. It may take two to tango but this is as close as mainstream wrestling is getting to the proverbial match with a broom, although it could be argued that a broom has more dexterity and selling ability than Warrior.
Your memory doesn't do justice to how good Savage was in this match. Go back and watch it, right away.
