5. Ric Flair vs. Sting at Clash of Champions I; March 27, 1988; Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina

Sting Clash of Champions '88- In a rivalry that includes many classic encounters, this match between the Nature Boy and the man they call Sting at the very first Clash of Champions may have been the best. On March 27, 1988– the same night as WrestleMania IV – Ric Flair and Sting headlined the inaugural Clash of Champions. In a match for the NWA World Heavyweight Title filled with suspense and excitement, the two legends wrestled to a 45 minute draw. Slic' Ric escaped by the skin of his teeth, bearing the Scorpion Deathlock just long enough to allow time to run out. As a result, Flair retained his title. Many people believe it was this match that made Sting a star and a main eventer, propelling him to even greater heights later on down the line.
