The first time I saw Razor/HBK I remember thinking "Wait... that's it...? That's what all the fuss was about?"
The Savage/Steamboat match didn't exactly make me want to grab my nuts and scream "Yeah!" either.
So probably Savage/Steamboat because it just seems odd that a pretty standard match gets such love. I suppose it was arguably the first undeniably good Wrestlemania match though. Not some gimmick or celeb affair, just two great athletes going at it. That was 50% of most cards I saw growing up though. Going back to late 1998-2002 there was a wealth of high tempo match ups. Heat got really stupidly good by virtue of the lighter guys having no other showcase.
