The size and muscularity of both the British Bulldog and Warlord would make those not named McMahon marvel as much as the mad Chairman himself, and that's presumably why these two were paired together for much of 1991.

Their simplistic scuffle over locking in a full nelson here was - fittingly - rather gripping. Demonstrating power impossible to imagine as a normal human, these monsters among men could have believably killed each other simply by grapevining each other's brain.

Inspiringly little happened here - the giants went just over eight minutes and yet both emerged from the match as 9-out-of-10 versions of themselves.
