5 Best Wrestling Matches of 1993

#2. Vader vs. Cactus Jack – Texas Deathmatch – Halloween Havoc 1993

This is what happens when two of the greatest brawlers in wrestling history fight like absolute savages in an almost rule-free environment. The only way for the match to end was for one man to be beaten so badly he couldn’t answer a ten-count (much like a Last Man Standing match).

But unlike the LMS match, this also has falls to give the match more drama and psychology. That led to Vader and Cactus Jack unleashing some of the most vicious brutality ever seen on each other.

Their brawl was so intense that it looked like they were trying to legitimately hurt one another, and Vader, in particular, showed just how remorseless he could be with some of the most horrifying chair-shots straight to Cactus Jack’s head. In retrospect, both Vader and Cactus left this match looking much better.

Vader looked like an unstoppable monster that the audience loved to hate, and Cactus showed his guts and determination, which kept the audience firmly on his side. Truly, this is a treasure of a match from some of WCW’s best days.
