I'll watch the Horsemen DVD and the handheld before nominating this because this was going at such an awesome pace and then nothing. It would be one thing if they showed the finish the next week or something but I remember it pissing me off when I was watching this live 21 years ago.

Garvin has to have 5 guys carry him to the ring basically because the fans want to mob him...what a scene this is. Yes this has a 90 minute time limit no misprint. This had some really good back and forth action to start with Morton being the aggressor having the advantage while Flair tried to slow the pace down whenever he could. We got a break with some promos and come back with Morton having Flair in the figure-four and Arn coming down to ringside to cheer on Flair. Gibson then comes down to counter Arn as Morton is taking it to Flair in the ring.

Arn though started throwing some bombs which brought out some blood from an old wound on Wahoo's head giving some extra oomph for the match. Wahoo then started lighting up Arn with chops then hit a big suplex on Arn for a nearfall. Arn then would start stalling as much as he could but Wahoo would light him up more and more and pinned Arn but Arn got his foot on the bottom rope so the match continued.
