One of the best matches in the early history of WrestleMania, the third edition may have been sold on the Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant mega match, this bout was the one that stole the show.

The crowd was fully behind Ricky Steamboat and was just waiting to explode as they sat through Savage's domination of the early match. When the comeback began to happen, any move that Steamboat got in, even if just a punch, was met with a thunderous ovation.

A high point of drama came when the referee was taken out and Savage hit his famed elbow drop. With no one to make the count, Steamboat was saved, and eventually, his gutsy performance paid off. Winning the title, he also got his revenge on Savage for his earlier attempt to end his career. The ending via roll-up was anticlimactic, but the crowd didn't care at the time.
