In yet another Intercontinental Championship classic contested inside Madison Square Garden, this bout pitted Hart versus IC Champion, Mr. Perfect.

Together, Hart and Perfect contested one of the best ever non-gimmicked matches in history.

In a technical stunner, Hart and Perfect engaged in hold and counter hold wrestling, thrilling the New York crowd.

In a terrific near fall, Perfect hit his patented Perfectplex which Hart kicked out off. That never happened and led to more increasingly electric near falls between both men.

Finally, Hart countered a Perfect legdrop, by grabbing the leg and locking in the match-winning Sharpshooter.

Hart celebrated with his mother and father post-match in an emotional moment. Beautiful finish to an incredible match.
