3. Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels – 1992
1992 saw a major changing of the WWF guard, as new headliners Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels took center stage. Heralding a huge stylistic shift in WWF main event wrestling, Bret and Shawn worked a classic no-frills wrestling match for 26 minutes.
Remember, these two were very small for WWF main eventers and they set out to prove that you didn’t have to be 6’5″ and 275 pounds to capture the fans’ imagination. If Bret-Bulldog at SummerSlam proved Bret deserved to be a top guy, this match proved that he could be THE top guy. This was one of the best matches of 1992 and still holds up as a great main event.
