Two of the best of all time. Disappointing that they didn't cross paths more. Basically the same gimmick too. Obviously, the problem was all the females were swooning over the Gigolo and not Shawn who they were trying to get over.

An early example of Vince throwing a fit because someone other than HIS guy was getting over. You could credibly argue that Gigolo Jimmy Delray was the original Daniel Bryan. Shame that the Gigolo Movement didn't get quite the same payoff though.

Face Jake the Snake vs recently turned face Big Boss Man in a match from Japan in 1990. Boss Man plays the heel again.

Heel vs Heel The Model Rick Martel vs Bastion Booger in 1993. Martel is leaning a bit towards the face side of things almost as if it’s a test for a potential face turn. Natural feud though.

Martel is so underrated. I would have liked to have seen him have a run with the IC title. I think he could have cheated his way to a win over Razor on Raw in 1993 then dropped the belt to Razor at the Royal Rumble.

Any time a discussion of most underrated superstars in wrestling history comes up I immediately think of him. It's a shame he never really got a decent singles title run.

I find the ending most intriguing as I wasn’t expecting that!

Earthquake with a tryout match in 1989 This is on the unreleased DVD they put out few years back. I'm glad they axed his last name and attire here.

I really wish they would have done more with Power and Glory. Or, I wish they would have teamed them up sooner so they could have a longer run.

It was either at MSG or Boston Gardens back in the day it was a singles match Hitman vs Dynamite that I always felt was very entertaining.

I knew of the first match but did you guys know that HBK and Macho Man faced off again in 1993?

Shame a feud between those 2 never materialized

They had fantastic chemistry together.
I would have liked to see a PPV main event of Shawn and Flair vs Savage and Bret
