#4 Bret Hart vs. The 1-2-3 Kid

In 1994, Bret Hart was in his second reign as WWE Champion and in a one-off match with little build, he put the title on the line against a fellow face, The 1-2-3 Kid.
This was a relatively rare case of Hart being the bigger man in a match, particularly in this era, and it was intriguing to see him work a no less technical, but more punishing style against her perennial underdog opponent. Kid, for his part, was game for the spotlight match and his typical great self from that era when it came to stealing neat falls.
WWE, and particularly Monday Night Raw is not known for great matches in this era, but this one is a true gem of an exhibition between two popular stars. It reinforced Hart’s position as the top dog of the day, and firmed up Kid’s status as a rising star.
