#1 Randy Savage [--] (11-3-0) (WWF)(World Heavyweight Champion)
The dynamic of the Top 10 changes radically as we see a couple of famous firsts in the Pay-Per-View Players countdown! Chief among these milestone moments is the WWF and NWA World Heavyweight Champions occupying the Top 2 ranks! Ricky Steamboat makes some statistical history with his return to action, winning the NWA title from Ric Flair as he converts his activity from WWF to NWA representation!
Even with the title dropping, Flair walks out of Chi-Town Rumble safely in the Top 10. A little shakier is Dusty Rhodes, who slips back to #10 as a consequence of Road Warrior Hawk's World Tag Team Championship defense! The Road Warriors are back in the mix, defending against "Varsity Club" Dr. Death Steve Williams & Kevin Sullivan. There's still plenty of work to be done if they're to reflect their legendary status.
The pay-per-view landscape steadies as transmission stays dark until April's Wrestlemania V! The saga of the past few months reaches its culmination when The Mega Powers explode! The Hogan & Savage meltdown comes at the perfect time -- an apt response to Steamboat's NWA rise. How will the rest of the rankings shake down? We'll find out after the fallout!
