Oh, here's one a lot of people probably don't even remember...

It was a Saturday Night's Main Event. The British Bulldog was defending the Intercontinental Championship (the one he won from Bret Hart at Summerslam in Wembley) against Shawn Michaels.

This was the first time I recall seeing the turnbuckle spot, which is to say where a heel removes a turnbuckle to use the exposed steel to his advantage. Earlier in the match, Michaels had Irish whipped Davey Boy into the corner, and the Bulldog sold the back injury during the duration of the match.

Anyway, for the finish...Davey Boy seems to have the match well in hand, about ready to finish it off. He takes Michaels up to the top rope to attempt a superplex, but when he lifts him, his back gives out and Shawn kinda flips over into a crossbody and lands on him, getting the 1-2-3. Shawn Michaels won his first singles title in the WWF.

That match was fucking sweet.
