30 WCW Matches You Must See Before You Die

10. Ricky Steamboat vs. Rick Rude (Beach Blast '92)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xktysx_ricky-steamboat-vs-rick-rude-30-minute-ironman-match-wcw-beach-blast-1992_sport In WCW in 1992, Ricky Steamboat and Rick Rude had a feud that involved a 30-minute Iron Man Match. Of course, now contemplate the fact that by 2002, WCW ceased to exist. Kinda makes you want to punch Eric Bischoff in the face, doesn't it. This match is everything you'd want it to be from two of the WWF's most underutilized talents of the "Hulkamania" era. If there was any one thing to take as a motif of most of the top feuds in early 90s era WCW, it's "two veteran performers getting into the ring and killing it at doing exactly what their job requires they do." This one is terrific.
