29. The Midnight Express vs. The Midnight Express (Starrcade '88)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqa4tqPe-So If you're looking for the North American TV breakout appearance of Paul Heyman, it came as the manager of journeymen Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose as the "Original" Midnight Express versus the Jim Cornette-managed version of the team comprised of Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane in 1988. Given that Lane had replaced Condrey, the seeds of the feud were set. Between the six men involved in this match, you have six of the best minds and most well-rounded workers in pro wrestling of any era. A great match in an underrated feud, it's worth watching.
