WZ’s Top Ten: WrestleMania WWE Title Matches

Number 2:WrestleMania XII: Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart

An Iron Man Match for the WWE Championship featured two of the best workers the world had to offer. Bret and Shawn, in two completely different stages of their careers, battled in Anaheim in an instant classic. Could a match of this magnitude and length be duplicated? Absolutely not. Bret and Shawn pulled out all the stops in this match that lasted 1 hour, 1 minute, and 52 seconds. Technicality, athleticism, and big spots filled this match. With the fans on the edge of their seat, we had the pleasure of an overtime since both men were tied with victories. Shawn Michaels became Mr. WrestleMania here on March 31, 1996. His career speaks for itself, but give kudos to Hart who was able to swallow his pride and give Michaels the spotlight. The childhood dream came true, Bret continued to be the best there was, and Michaels solidified himself as one of the best ever after this match. Unbelievable from beginning to end.
