8. Piper defeats Adrian Adonis
Piper was preparing to ride off into the sunset of wrestling retirement a first time when he faced off with Adrian Adonis at WrestleMania III in a “hair versus hair” match. Adonis prematurely celebrated a victory via sleeper hold, giving Brutus Beefcake an opportunity to revive Piper. Piper would then lock on a sleeper of his own, and the man who was one of the hottest babyfaces in the company at the time refused to release the hold until the referee called for the bell. Adonis was left defeated and humiliated, and Piper left to company to pursue a full-time career as a Hollywood movie star.
