3. The Dream

WrestleMania 2's match-of-the-night contest was a one horse two bulldog race thanks to this blistering doubles brawl.

The bell-to-bell stuff wasn't a particular priority on any early WWE shows, but it was the only thing on the Dynamite Kid's agenda any night he worked. Dragging an utter blinder kicking and screaming out of Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine, Kid gave his body the cause as usual right to the last.

The finish - Dynamite's own head is used to knock out Greg Valentine - sees Kid take a sickening bump to the floor. The Brits' career in a microcosm, it's followed by Ozzy Osbourne and Captain Lou Albano enjoying the fruits of their labour as the Bulldogs themselves sell the pain of the pursuit.
