10. Ultimate Warrior Vs. Rick Rude @ SummerSlam 1990
It's a match that is fresh in a lot of people's minds because The Ultimate Warrior passed away a few weeks ago and this is a match a lot of fans remember from his career. There have probably been better cage matches, but for a match in 1990 and for a little nostalgia, this warrants a mention on this list. The match only runs about 10 minutes, but that's okay. Warrior wasn't known for having the greatest matches or the longest ones. It worked in this case because Warrior was such a popular champion and this was his first major title defense since winning the World Title at WrestleMania 6, so the fans were ready to scream their heads off for him. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xautn7_the-ultimate-warrior-vs-rick-rude_sport Nobody really thought Rude was going to win and he shouldn't have because they had to build up Warrior as a dominant champion. Warrior was always booked strong, but there were still moments in the match where it looked like Rude had a legit chance to win too. It was a match that was put together really well. As a side note, I always love that this match main evented SummerSlam 1990 instead of the Hogan match. That made me smile back then because I was so sick of Hogan.
