In an era where big, muscular men beat the lights out of each other, a technically sound wrestling match was a rare privilege. But the likes of Bret Hart and Mr Perfect had made up their minds that they would treat the Madison Square Garden crowd to a technical jewel.
The duo put on a classic for the Intercontinental Championship, a match that is still one of the best in an era dominated by the likes of Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man.

Even more baffling is the fact that Mr Perfect was working the match with a bad back and would not wrestle for over a year following this. Working in live events around the country, Hennig and Hart blew away the audiences in attendance.
So when the duo met on pay per view, they already had the chemistry to weave magic in the ring. They went hold for hold and move for move, bringing to life a timeless classic of a wrestling match that even today, is illustrated as an example of technical brilliance.
