11. "Better Than The Best" - WWF (1990)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GwiapXMJU0 The on-screen chemistry between Sherri Martel and Randy Savage is one of the least discussed wonderful things about the WWF at the turn of the 1990s. Savage as the "Macho King" was a great way to shuttle him away from World Championship scene but keep him relevant as a contender. Whomever came up with the idea of putting Savage with Sherri is a genius. Martel's over-the-top absurdity being perpetually trumped by Savage is entertaining as hell. Savage never slows down and Martel keeps pace, but is always sure to stay a beat off of Macho's lead. It makes for a fascinating dynamic and creates incredible heel promos, too.
