A Sensational Upset!

This old WWF match caught me completely by surprise. Rockin' Robin vs Sensational Sherry Martel, the reigning WWF champion in a non-title match. I wasn't expecting very much. Sure, I liked Robin & Sherry, but neither of them fit the prototype, to coin a phrase I use over and over again on this blog.
I am happy to say that I was most pleasantly surprised by the way the action played out.
Sherry wound up on the mat and while she was taking a moment to recover, Robin climbed up to the third rope and waited. Sherry got to her feet on unsteady legs and began looking for her opponent. From this point on, the collage above tells the story. Robin leaps off of the top rope, grabs Sherry's head as she's coming down and rams it into the mat in a modified bulldog move.
BAM! Sherry is face down on the mat completely stunned. Robin rolls her over and covers her for the pin! 1,2,3! A sensational upset, just the way I like it.
Kudos and eternal appreciation to whoever put this match together. These final 20 or so seconds have been seared into my brain and remain a source of inspiration to this very day.

Does anyone out there have stories of their favorite upsets? As a fan, I would love to hear about them.
