21. Chris Benoit vs. Kevin Sullivan (Great American Bash '96)
The best time to wrestle a man in a falls-count-anywhere match is when he's married to your ex-wife. Yes, Nancy Benoit was once Nancy Sullivan, and in WCW circa 1996, Woman had left Sullivan for Benoit, too. This match is the buildup of what was a terrific feud that blended shoot and work in a masterful manner. As well, there's brawling in a women's bathroom, too....and that's never not funny in the most juvenile of senses. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xz8s76_44-96-06-16-chris-benoit-vs-kevin-sullivan-falls-count-anywhere-match-great-american-bash_sport This is the match that truly made Benoit a star in the North American mainstream.
