10 Best Non-Title, Non-Stipulation Singles Matches in WrestleMania History

#3 Owen Hart vs Bret Hart (WrestleMania X)

The best opening match in WrestleMania history

Long before show stealing marquee singles matches became a common sight for the bloated Mania cards, it was a duo of real life brothers that started this trend back in 1994. The rivalry between the Hart Brothers, Owen and Bret, was the primary storyline in the WWE throughout the 1994, and gave us two of the best matches in WWE history.

Just like most of the matches that preceded this match on this list, the base of this rivalry was jealousy and envy between the two brothers. Owen was hellbent on proving to his elder brother that he was better than him between the ropes, and wanted to prove it to him at the greatest stage - WrestleMania X. Slotted at the top of the card, this match was so good that became the bar for judging all the future opening matches in Mania history.

With so much animosity and chemistry between the two brothers, the two wrestled a gem that showcased the profess of their technical skill. While they couldn't win the honor of the match of the night, thanks to one infamous ladder match, they did give us the best opening match in Mania history. Owen's victory over his brother catapulted him to main event status, and gave us another show stealing match between the two at Summerslam 1994.
