11 Greatest Carry Jobs In WWE History
4. Macho Man Randy Savage Vs Ultimate Warrior
The Ultimate Warrior had proved himself a willing participant in long and dramatic matches before, but opportunities were kept limited so not to expose his mystique. In truth, it had proved an unfortunate coda of the company's decision to put the top title on him in an attempt to recreate Hulk Hogan's meteoric ascent to iconic pop culture status.
Hogan was a master of his craft, whereas Warrior's repeated squashes narrowed the scope for 'proper' WWE main events that fans had become expectant of during their former idol's lengthy championship reigns.
Despite this though, Warrior stole the show for the second consecutive WrestleMania in an effort with Randy Savage that dwarfed the remarkable title vs title match with 'The Hulkster' the prior year. Preparing for his first extended break in years, Macho Man Randy Savage was world class in his efforts to propel Warrior to mythical heights as victor of their WrestleMania 7 'Retirement' match.
Savage bumped and bounced like a pinball for every Warrior strike, and even permitted booking that saw his opponent kick out after five consecutive flying elbow finishers. Exquisitely playing dead as Warrior smashed him with repeated flying tackles, Macho Man wasn't just defeated, he was destroyed.
