Alabama men’s basketball guard Rylan Griffen has come off the top rope with a few World Wrestling Entertainment references during the Crimson Tide’s incredible Final Four run.

The Texas native compared the Crimson Tide’s recent Sweet 16 win over North Carolina to Brock Lesnar beating the Undertaker at WrestleMania 30.

When the Tide beat Clemson to make the first Final Four in school history, Griffen donned a WWE championship belt, adorned with an Alabama logo, and discussed what his ring entrance would look like (similar to Triple H, who tweeted him a “Roll Tide”).

Heading into Bama’s Final Four face-off with reigning champs UConn, Griffen was asked which match another upset would make the best comparison. “I think Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan when Hulk Hogan was big dog,” Griffen said, referencing the WrestleMania VI main event. “He was the highest, big-time dude going in WWF at the time and Ultimate Warrior came in with a bunch of energy and beat him.”

Griffen, clearly a student of the wrestling game, has inspired and challenged us to remember a few matches that remind us of the Tide’s looming showdown with the Huskies Saturday in Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium at 7:49 p.m. CT on TBS. Bama walks in an 11.5-point underdog, which (like in wrestling) would only make the story even sweeter. Here are a few matches that has us thinking of a Tide shocker…

123 Kid vs. Razor Ramon, Monday Night Raw (1993)

After years of toiling as a jobber and an aspiring performer with one gimmick after another, Sean Waltman finally created the 1-2-3 Kid, a spunky and in-ring technical talent who just wanted a shot to prove himself on the biggest stage. He got it during the May 17, 1993 episode of “Monday Night Raw” wherein Ramon laughed off his competition as soon-to-be easy work before the Kid’s aerial attack, including a surprise moonsault, took down the formerly machismo-oozing villain that brought fans to the feet. “He got him! He got him!” screamed commentator “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Might a barrage of 3-point shooting from the Tide shock UConn into an upset no one could have predicted? If so, you can count 1-2-3.

Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart, WrestleMania 10 (1994)

Bret Hart had a lot on his mind during the opening match of “WrestleMania X,” including a looming world title bout later that night inside Madison Square Garden. So it’s possible his angry little brother Owen Hart, with whom he had feuded for months, didn’t have his full attention or respect in an otherwise incredibly entertaining and technically proficient duel. Owen’s craftiness led to Bret injuring his knee and ultimately failing to defeat his brother with a victory roll that Owen reversed to pin him for the unlikely win. Might the Tide catch the Huskies looking ahead and thinking the title is within their grasp, only for Bama to put the sneaker on the other foot in an upset victory?

Eddie Guerrero vs. Brock Lesnar, No Way Out (2004)

Alabama wouldn’t borrow Eddie Guerrero’s catchphrase “I Lie! I Cheat! I Steal!”, but just like the crafty “Latino Heat” star, they’d probably do just about anything to win a title now that they’ve made it this far. And a 30-0 flurry from the Huskies, which they delivered Iowa State in the Elite 8 round, probably feels a bit like enduring Brock Lesnar’s finishing move, the F-5. Guerrero won a 15-man Royal Rumble match to earn his title shot, while Alabama’s unexpected Final Four run has earned them main event status with the likes of college basketball’s heaviest hitters. At first glance, Guerrero and the Tide squad don’t belong on the same stage as the Brock Lesnars and UConns of the world, but all it takes is one chance (and a timely Frog Splash).

Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H/Randy Orton/Batista, WrestleMania 30 (2014)

One of the all-time great underdog stories in wrestling history spanned several months in lead-up to the company’s milestone event. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, known as The Authority, tapped Randy Orton as the face of WWE and did all they could to thwart the pesky Daniel Bryan and the “Yes!” movement from their coronation. Bryan won his own mini-tournament, first defeating Triple H in a singles match before taking out Orton and Batista in a triple-threat contest, with Bryan tapping the Animal to win the title. Now, the Crimson Tide aren’t the victims of any Authority-like system stopping them from reaching NCAA tournament glory. But given they have to run through traditional blue-blood programs like North Carolina and UConn in their path, it probably feels like it. Can Bama shock the world? Yes!

Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan, WrestleMania 35 (2019)

To secure a shot at the world title, New Day member Kofi Kingston had to win a grueling gauntlet match before falling just short at Elimination Chamber. With the roles reversed, Kingston played the underdog role in pursuit of Daniel Bryan’s championship belt. He needed help from his tag team partners Big E and Xavier Woods, whose own gauntlet win prompted the powers-that-be to give Kingston a title shot at WrestleMania, in which he delivered his signature “Trouble in Paradise” move to become a Triple Crown Champion. UConn is riding high as the potential first back-to-back title winners since Florida in the mid-2000s. The Tide have to hope the Huskies’ tournament opponents (of whom they’ve made short work) thus far have softened them up to ruin their coronation and create trouble in paradise of their own.

BONUS: Squash match, Braun Strowman vs. James Ellsworth (2016)

The outcome we’d prefer not to see: A squash match. In 2016, the WWE brought back this gimmick wherein a monster like the 400-pound Braun Strowman dispatched whichever poor wrestler (or “jobber”) put in front of him like they were mince meat. Many consider UConn an unstoppable force or buzzsaw in a tournament that’s become somewhat of a technicality before crowning the champs for a second year in a row. And might they smash the Tide with a reverse choke-slam and put one paw on their chests to win them for the win? Possibly. But crazy things happen in this tournament, and despite Bama’s underdog status, this is when “unbeatable” top seeds go down. And even the scrawny Ellsworth implausibly secured a title shot after enduring the Monster Among Men. After all, any man with two hands has a fighting chance.
