Ricky Steamboat vs Rick Rude (Iron Man Match, WCW Beach Blast, 6/20/92)
The introduction of the iron man match. Years ago, I would have put this higher. It was maybe my favorite match at the time especially as a huge Ricky Steamboat mark as a child an Rick Rude was arguably the star of WCW in the ring at this time and it made for an awesome back and forth match. There were some questionable falls but for the most part, they made sense. Rude's comeback in the beginning to start pulling away followed by the intentional DQ just to get an easy pin and the last 30 seconds were fantastic. I think now, seeing how clear it is that a 1 fall win is the only real way to make an iron man match interesting, it takes some suspense away but still two of the greatest of all time in a match that just fit them so well. It would have been great to see them go an hour.
