#18 Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect (Intercontinental Title - Summerslam 1991)

Hart vs. Perfect in '91

At Summerslam 1991 inside Madison Square Garden, rising mid-carder Bret " Hitman" Hart challenged the long-reigning Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect for the gold. Perfect, who fashioned himself as the greatest IC Champion of all time, promised that "history would be made" when he faced off against Hart inside the Most Famous Arena In The World.

And indeed it was, as fans in attendance went wild during the 18-minute match where Hart was pushed off the apron into a steel guard rail and proceeded to later kick out of Perfect's fisherman suplex finisher, The Perfect Plex.

When Mr. Perfect followed up by trying several inside legdrops on Hart's lower abdomen, the Hitman responded with one of the most amazing counters of the 1990s, locking Perfect's leg between him own and applying his patented Sharpshooter submission finish. Hart, having won his first major singles title, would go on to celebrate with his parents in the crowd, solidifying the win as a WrestleMania level moment within the Summer heat.
