Ranking All 21 WWE WrestleMania Intercontinental Title Matches
20. Macho Man Randy Savage Vs. George Steele (WrestleMania 2)
With all due respect to Steele, who had found a clear niche as a grunting comedic force this deep into his long career, his working style hasn't exactly aged well. He worked believably for the character, ripping apart turnbuckles and using underhanded tactics as he didn't know better, but it didn't translate to enjoyable matches outside of quaint house show fodder. The match with Savage kinda ran in circles, focusing on Steele biting Savage at many junctures, and Savage just fleeing from him in others. As bad as that was, it was worse when guest announcer Susan St. James (of the sitcom Kate and Allie) becomes consumed by the action, at one point yelling, "Alright George, eat his leg!"
