10 best world title matches in Wrestlemania history

#6 Ric Flair vs Randy Savage for WWF World Heavyweight Title (Wrestlemania VIII)

The Macho-Flair Affair

Wrestlemania VIII was the first time the main event of Wrestlemania did not involve the reigning WWF champion. Even though the event is billed as the only pay per view with two main events, the WWF Title match came almost an hour before the show's closure. Savage and Flair had been involved in a heated rivalry where Flair alleged that he had a relationship with Miss Elizabeth, Savage's wife, and all this added more buzz to an already hyped WWF Title match.

From the starting bell, the champion was in control due to interference from Mr. Perfect. Flair controlled the first half of the match before Savage gained momentum with a neckbraker. An ax handle outside the ring resulted in Flair getting busted open, but even Savage's diving elbow drop couldn't keep Flair down. Flair tried to lock in the figure four lock but Savage countered and rolled Flair up for the win as the red-hot crowd in Indianapolis witnessed an 18 minutes gem between two of the greatest to ever grace the wrestling ring.
