2. The Master Of Pain (With Ronnie P. Gossett & "Dirty" Dutch Mantel) vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler - USWA (1990)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCYwvmFNbW4 After 4:28 of in-ring action, The Master of Pain defeated The Undertaker for the Unified Heavyweight Championship in 1989, marking the first time The Undertaker became a world champion. Of course it was with the aid of ten people running in and a billy club (and the title change occurring in a tiny television studio in Memphis), but it's still significant.
