#6 The Ultimate Warrior squashes Super Ninja

Super Ninja challenged Ultimate Warrior in his first official match, and the title was on the line.

Sometimes, it just isn't meant to be. The run of Super Ninja was brief, but memorable. He challenged Ultimate Warrior for the Intercontinental title on Saturday Night's Main Event.

Super Ninja was built up by his manager, Mr. Fuji, who promised a mysterious assassin from the East who would destroy the Warrior and capture the title. In reality, the man under the mask was very much an American. Journeyman grappler Rip Oliver portrayed the Super Ninja in his only televised appearance.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

You can probably guess how it turns out, but you can watch the 'match' below.
