Notice how several attempts are made to land a finishing move. Notice how the wrestlers show signs of "wear and tear" as the match progresses, rather than just popping up at 100% after 30 minutes to finish the match.
Other than a Shawn Michaels tantrum at the end (when the finish doesn't quite work the way he intended), this was a classic match.
I also ran across Bobby Heenan's book "Bobby the Brain" which is pretty much a 'snitch -all' type book, making it great reading mentioning olde tyme names like Blackjack Lanza, Nick Bockwinkle, Moose Cholak, Wilbur Snyder, and Bo Bo Brazil
