#4 British Bulldog vs. Bret Hart (SummerSlam 1992)

The British Bulldog captured his first and only Intercontinental Championship in England.

The 1992 edition of SummerSlam was the first (and to date only) pay-per-view held outside out of North America, where the main event pitted Bret Hart against The British Bulldog for the Intercontinental Championship. Even though the Heavyweight Championship was also contested at the pay-per-view between The Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage, the primary Championship was most likely on the undercard to a secondary Championship purely based on the fact that The British Bulldog was competing in his home country.

The two were brothers-in-law in real life, which was integrated into the storyline of them having family problems, with some of Bret’s brothers on opposite sides with Diana Hart being torn between her husband, The British Bulldog and her brother Bret Hart.

This match was very evenly fought throughout the match with both wrestlers using each other’s signature moves against each other to get an important victory. Hart’s technical wrestling wore the British Bulldog down towards the end of the match, but British Bulldog’s converting Hart’s sunset flip secured his first and only Intercontinental Championship in his decorated career in the WWF.

After the match, the British Bulldog tried to shake Hart’s hand, which was originally refused but ended up changing his mind and also hugging his sister, Diana.

The British Bulldog's victory also marked the first-ever British champion to capture the Intercontinental Championship and the fact that he won it in his home country made one of the loudest and most unforgettable conclusions to SummerSlam’s illustrious history.

As far as family feuds go, this one takes the cake for how emotionally charged it was.
