13. The Rockers Vs. Haku And The Barbarian (WrestleMania 7)
It should be noted that with Bobby Heenan managing Haku and Barbarian here, Hacksaw Jim Duggan provided color commentary in his place for this match. Duggan actually did one hell of a job getting across basic psychology,playing a mostly-impartial babyface announcer with aplomb. The world is a sadder place without Duggan further pursuing commentary, it seems. As for the match, it's The Rockers at their working peak as a duo, taking on two under-appreciated monsters in the eventual Faces of Fear, telling an amiable story of speed and quickness against brute power. As it was the opening match, the crowd comes alive for every bump the Rockers take off of their opponents clotheslines and slams, and it's a sure sign of greatness to come for one Rocker in particular.
