#6 Honorable Mention: Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat, Wrestlemania III

The main attraction being billed was Hulk Hogan taking on the legendary Andre the Giant, but it would be Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat for the Intercontinental Championship stealing the show and culminating the end of their memorable feud.

Both Savage and Steamboat were not the typical giants fans had grown accustomed to, so both competitors used their speed, agility and high-flying ability to get over with the crowd.

The pace was non-stop and with over countless false finishes, the fans were sucked into the drama being created in the ring. The in-ring masterpiece concluded with Steamboat rolling up Savage for the win, ending Macho’s 414-day reign as Intercontinental Champion.
