26. Ric Flair vs. Lord Steven Regal (April '94)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlQFDw5vA2k WCW in 1994 was awesome because they had the temerity to sign British wrestler Steve Regal to a contract and then do what? Push him as being the best classically British-style wrestler in the world. Long before the Nitro era, WCW competing with the WWF by literally presenting a completely different version of what pro wrestling could (and should) be was a well-defined concept. Ric Flair wrestling in rounds-style matches? Should happened more often!
