11. Lex Hits Mr. Perfect With His "Illegal Elbow" - WrestleMania 9
This match was supposed to be a 5 star classic. It wasn't. Curt 'Mr. Perfect' Hennig was a wrestler with a tremendous work rate, and Lex Luger fresh off a stint in Vince McMahon's creative failure the 'WBF' was making his Wrestlemania debut. Luger would enter the ring surrounded by scantily clad Las Vegas women holding mirrors making Luger look like a Greek God. The mission for the match was simple, make Lex look good while preserving the character of Mr. Perfect. What happened however, was not in line with this thinking. After a night out partying Hennig forgot much of the match resulting in a sloppily worked match in which Luger would win by reversing a backslide. However, the match itself is not what makes this one of the greatest heel moments in Wrestlemania history. On top of his opulant entrance Lex Luger would 'knock out' Mr. Perfect with his illegal forearm (Kayfabe metal plate in it making it illegal to use) adding insult to injury. Hennig would wake up from his stupor and then charge to the back looking for revenge on the Narcissist, setting up one of the other great 'heel' moments in wrestlemania history.
