A little under the radar maybe but a super awesome heavyweight slugfest. Both guys are physical as hell. Everyone taking huge bumps and taking huge shots, including Harley Race as a second. Gem of a match from one of the best pay-per-views ever put on by WCW. One of the best Bossman matches of all time.

I don't think I'll vote for it, but I want to give this a yes because it's a match that pops. To me these memorable matches are the ones I'm likely to give extra credit for and there is something memorable about these two beasts colliding. Whether it be the ramp way vault press or just the two of them beating each other to death it's a match that stands out way more than matches that might be technically better. Which might be an argument that this is actually the better match.

Third.
This is one of those matches that has a reasonable shot at my top 100 Favorites List, but maybe not this one. Still, this is a hell of a spectacle and one of the coolest matches ever. The spot where Vader runs up the ramp and dives over the top rope is one of the coolest spots in wrestling history.

Probably won't make my list, but this match is still loads of fun. I had always heard Bossman was underrated so when I asked for match recs, this was one of the first I got. Love how for once someone is able to have Vader on the ropes and force him to make a comeback.

A great big uglies match that won't make my list but happy it is recognized
Vader vs The Boss - WCW Spring Stampede 1994
My favorite style of pro wrestling is power wrestling and this is one of the best matches in that style. Two big uglies with no regard for their bodies and just chuckin each other around. I love the opening spot with Vader hitting his body attack on Harley by accident. Vader's clotheslines were wicked win this match. His leap over the top rope from the ramp popped me all over again. That guardrailing bump by Vader is so damn good. He is bleeding from the mouth and eye. The bump that transitions into heat where Boss bumps over the top rope nearly kills himself was scary These two had no fear to take to the air. Vader bumps off the middle rope. Vader finally catches someone else and bodyslams them! The Vaderbomb-Vadersault popped the crowd huge! Awesome finish! Awesome hoss brawl, power wrestling, just two guys fighting fire with fire. ****

Watched this this morning after seeing the above posts, and wow, that was a fun match. My jaw dropped on numerous occasions - starting with Vader’s dive into the ring - and I got incredibly invested in a match despite being reasonably sure I already knew the winner. Fantastic brawl, and I loved the way Boss took it to Vader.
I think I’ll have to watch/rewatch a lot more wrestling in the next six months or so to be confident enough to create a list, but at the moment, this would definitely be on mine.
