8. Macho Man Randy Savage defeated Curt Hennig in 28:52 *****. Savage continues to make a mockery of WWF's decision to turf him out for being "too old" in 1994. Despite being 40, an age where most wrestlers would start to wind down, Savage continues to be on the top of his game. Most people, when they remember this match in future, will talk about that spot, where the toe of Savage's boot scraped the rope while being pinned in the Hennig-Plex. There was an audible gasp in the crowd when that spot occurred. People argued about having this go last, and not the WCW Universal Title match, but the coronation of Rayo followed by this provided a perfect double main event. If Rude and Rayo had been asked to follow this, there is no way that they could compare.
