#4 Bret Hart vs. Mr Perfect: Intercontinental Championship

The iconic image.
The iconic image of Mr Perfect locked in Bret Hart's Sharpshooter

This was the match that proved Bret Hart was the best wrestler alive at the time. People will remember this match for a multitude of reasons, but this match stands to be best remembered as the bout that saw Bret Hart transform into a mega-star. He beat the arrogant Mr Perfect in a technical classic seldom seen in WWE.

Just like Cena in 2013, Perfect fought through a back injury and took every bump that he could to put Hart over. Even though Perfect was trying to bully the gutsy Hart, he failed in his efforts to subdue him. Bret Hart became the first ever man to kick out of the Perfect-Plex, which created a memorable moment rarely recreated in the manufactured world of the WWE. The lasting image of Perfect trapped in the sharpshooter as Hart is on the precipice of glory is a defining one, which saw one of the most iconic wrestlers ever get redemption for his work.
