38. Demolition vs. Colossal Connection WrestleMania 6
There is nothing pretty about this contest. When Barry Darsow is the best wrestler in a tag bout, youre not going to get a multi-star match. For those who dont know or remember, the Colossal Connection was Haku and Andre the Giant. They went into the match as the WWF Tag Team Champions. The duo would lose their titles to Demolition without Andre ever tagging into the match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVieH5bMTCM But the fireworks would come after the match, with manager Bobby The Brain Heenan berating Andre for losing, then slapping him in the face. Big mistake. Heenan immediately regretted that decision, but Andre had had it. He paintbrushed the Weasel and took out Haku, officially turning face one last time before his in-ring career ended. The reaction from the crowd, combined with the knowledge that it was one of Andres last big WWF moments, overcome the poor quality of the match itself.
