Incredibly, Steamboat and Savage managed to pack a tremendous amount of action into a match that lasted less than fifteen minutes. The action was crisp and the drama palpable, leaving fans wondering when/how the match would end.

This match has withstood the test of time, which is impressive given how much wrestling has evolved in the past thirty years or so. In fact, many matches have tried to replicate this match in terms of creating a memorable and high-quality face vs face match, but few have managed to do so.
