#3 Roddy Piper vs. Bret Hart (Wrestlemania VIII)

I'd happily live in a world where the main event of the 1992 edition of WrestleMania was a good old-fashioned scrap between Bret Hart and Roddy Piper.

Piper had recently won the Intercontinental Championship from The Mountie, a reign that would end up being the one and only singles title run in his entire WWE career. Soon after at WrestleMania, Piper locked horns with Hart, who was looking to regain the gold he'd previously held with such distinction.

This meeting wasn't the longest you'll ever see at just 13 minutes, but in such a small space of time, they did so much. Sportsmanship went out the window, as after the usual holds were exchanged to begin the match, it soon devolved into bloodshed.

Bret would eventually win and become Intercontinental Champion once again, and would go on to lose the championship to the British Bulldog at SummerSlam later that year - in the main event no less!
