WWE Royal Rumble: 5 singles or tag classics you may have forgotten

#1. Bret & Owen Hart v The Quebeckers - 1994

The 1994 Rumble featured one of the most iconic heel turns in history

Full disclosure - this is probably my all-time favorite non-Rumble match in this history of the Royal Rumble event. Partly because of the in-ring action of the match itself, but mostly because of its place in arguably one of WWE's greatest long-running feuds of all time, the battle between Bret and Owen Hart.

Seeds had been planted that all was not well between Bret and the youngest Hart child, Owen, a few months prior at the previous year's Survivor Series. However, it had appeared that the two had patched things up and were once again on the same page as they went in search of the tag team championships, then held by The Quebeckers.

Owen, itching to make a success of his career in WWE and gain a title, would end up totally livid at his brother's perceived arrogance. After taking a beating from the champions, Bret was given the opportunity to tag in his fresher, stronger sibling who would hopefully go on and win the match.

As it was, Bret tried to lock in the sharpshooter himself and win the gold, only to break down in agony. Feeling he was in no state to continue, the referee called for the bell; the Quebeckers had retained and Owen's big chance had gone. He was raging - eventually attacking him after the match had ended, screaming "You're too damn selfish!"

This, of course, paved the way for their string of matches across 1994. The rest, they say, is history.
