50 Best WWE Matches Of The 90s

14. Shawn Michaels Vs. Diesel (In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies)

Kevin Nash wasn't long for the company, merely three weeks away from the controversial 'Curtain Call' exit. Understandably, he wanted to put over buddy Michaels, the new champ, on the way out, and that opportunity came at the April In Your House, in a match with no rules. Michaels needed a giant to slay, and avenging a loss from one year earlier would bolster his young reign. Michaels took a beating from a now-petulant heel Diesel, the drama spiking when Michaels took the Jackknife powerbomb through the announce table. McMahon screamed for Shawn to, "Let it be!" and concede defeat, but wouldn't you know it, Michaels fought back. Diesel even tried to use Mad Dog Vachon's prosthetic leg late in the match, but succumbed to Sweet Chin Music anyway. This match pales in attention next to the Iron Man match, and that's hard to understand once you watch it.

13. The Ultimate Warrior Vs. Macho King Randy Savage (WrestleMania VII)

Savage cost Warrior the WWF Championship two months earlier at the Rumble, and both men wagered their in-ring careers on this match. It was just the intrigue the show was lacking with Hogan inevitably crushing turncoat Sgt. Slaughter in the finale, because it stood to reason that either Warrior or Savage could conceivably win this match. Savage dropped five elbows on Warrior and couldn't put him away. Warrior responded with his finishing sequence, only to question "The Gods" when Savage kicked out. Warrior finally winning gave way to the real drama, of a pained Savage being screamed at by Sensational Sherri, who assaulted him until long-absent Miss Elizabeth made the save. She then tearfully reunited with her real-life husband, turning him face and drawing real tears from a number of fans in attendance.
