#1 Junkyard Dog [--] (4-1-0) (WWF)
The multi-match stats of November's The Wrestling Classic keeps Junkyard Dog in the top spot, even as tournament runner-up Randy Savage makes history with his Intercontinental title defense against George "The Animal" Steele in the now classic Wrestlemania 2 undercard grudge bout!
Once again it's the limitations of the early wrestling pay-per-view calendar that are most evident in the rankings, delivering a slightly less than legendary list. Hulk Hogan reigns over the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in a classic steel cage WWF Championship defense against King Kong Bundy! It was the third arena main event of the night -- one-upping NWA's two town extravaganza at Starrcade '85 (in North Carolina & Georgia)! An impressive feat, even if history forgets its responsive nature to speak to ingenuity.
As Hulkamania charges toward an inevitable collision with the #1 pay-per-view rank -- his NWA rival Ric Flair disappears from the Top 10! With no WWF counter programming to contend with, Flair will have full opportunity to return in November via the main event stage of Starrcade '86! If he wins, he'll displace several big name rankings debuts: Dynamite Kid (WWF Tag Team Champion w/ Davey Boy Smith), Mr. T (d. Roddy Piper) & 20-man battle royal winner Andre the Giant - who last eliminated Bret Hart in his PPV debut!
