The Ultimate Warrior's 5 most epic matches

2. The Ultimate Warrior vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage – WrestleMania 7 Career vs. Career

Number 2 and 1 on our list are almost completely interchangeable; these two matches are the two that will live on forever as the matches The Ultimate Warrior is always remembered best for. While this WrestleMania 7 match was not the main event, it is looked at by most as the match that made the show. This feud really ignited at Royal Rumble 91 when Savage interfered in The Warrior’s match with Sgt. Slaughter and caused him to lose the WWF Title; these were the days when long, drawn out, sensible stories were the norm, so it made perfect sense that this WrestleMania 7 would be career vs. career.

What I couldn’t fathom is one of the top 2 main event guys in the company actually retiring after this; of course as we all know this didn’t stick as Savage would be back in action less than a year after losing this match.

As far as the match itself, it was one of the first I can remember seeing multiple near falls, multiple finishing moves etc. before there was a winner. At one point when Warrior exited the ring and began to question if he could even beat Savage, I felt some sort of major change was going down, but in the end the Warrior defeated Savage in the middle of the ring in what could be considered Warrior’s greatest match in-ring wise. The aftermath with Savage reuniting with Elizabeth may overshadow everything a bit as far as Warrior goes, which is why we chose the next match as number 1.
