I think that match had everything- the fun, the comedy, the drama, the athleticism, the crowd connection, Pac's brutality, all wrapped in something that is clearly for show.

IMO that match is the perfect microcosm of everything that makes pro wrestling, at it's best, a special brand of entertainment.
