#11 Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart, WrestleMania 12

Earl Hebner stating the rules of the match!

In an all-time classic, two of the best wrestlers to ever grace the WWE ring put on an over hour long match that to this day is the measuring stick to a WrestleMania main event.

Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart have talked about this match so many times, as they feel like this match couldn’t have gone any better, and for it going into overtime made it even better in the end.

It was a good back and forth between two greats, and we didn’t see a pinfall in the normal 60 minutes of this match.

This match like so many others had amazing spots, for example when Bret piledrived HBK, and he literally bounced up off the mat with such force which really showed that these two wanted to be the best so badly.

Not only wanting to be the best when it comes to the storyline, but in real life, Bret and Shawn battled for the top spot at that time, and it was as real as it can get.

In the final 30 seconds, Hart had Michaels in a sharpshooter, and everyone though Michaels was going to tap right then and there.

That didn’t happen as Michaels held on, and the match went into overtime, and Shawn Michaels won the WWE Championship by hitting his finishing maneuver.

As Vince McMahon said it so greatly, “The Boyhood dream has come true for Shawn Michaels”.
