#9 ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair Wrestlemania VIII (1992)

Things got personal when Savage squared off with Ric Flair for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania VIII

The match for the WWE Championship was the joint main event of Wrestlemania VIII. Dubbed as the Macho/Flair affair, this match was made in lieu of pitting Hogan against Ric Flair.

Savage was fighting to save the honour of the sweet Elizabeth. For weeks, Ric Flair had accused Elizabeth of being in a relationship with him before siding with Savage. These allegations fueled Savage to become an absolute monster and unleash hell on the Nature Boy once the bell rung.

Flair added the dimension of blading to the match resulting in a bloodbath. All the heel tactics in the world could not save Ric Flair from Savage’s wrath. Macho Man overcame stiff odds to win the WWE Championship for the second time in his career.
