#5 DEMOLITION def. THE POWERS OF PAIN & MR. FUJI
Wrestlemania V April 2, 1989
There had to be at least one pick from The Golden Era.
Wrestlemania V took place at Trump Plaza. Most of the attention centered around Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, but there were several undercard bouts worth mentioning, including this one.
The storyline leading up to this encounter was extremely compelling. Mr. Fuji had turned on Demolition, several months earlier at the 1988 Survivor Series and joined forces with The Powers of Pain, this resulted in a double turn.
Demolition had now become a monstrous babyface duo, while The Powers of Pain turned heel, with Fuji in their corner.
For months, Demolition and The Powers of Pain had an intense rivalry. Finally, everything had reached a boiling point and the score was settled on the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania.
The match itself wasn't a very long match and it didn't feature many memorable spots. It was a basic brawl for respect . It was a classic tale of good versus bad, to show the world who the dominant tag team was and in the end, The Powers of Pain and Mr. Fuji made one too many errors, costing them the win.
