10 Best WWE In Your House Matches EVER
10. Bret Hart Vs Jean-Pierre Lafitte (In Your House 3)
Triple H tells the story his "Curtain Call" punishment coming with a line from Vince McMahon about eating platefuls of sh*t and learning to like the taste of it. What then, had Bret Hart done to practically drown in the stuff a year earlier?
'The Hitman' had failed to draw as Champion in 1994, but retained the deeper affection of those that did stick with the company post-Hulk Hogan. Alongside Shawn Michaels and select others, he dragged the product kicking and screaming into a new generation before the company branded it as such. For that, he was cast as a racist to fight a ninja, made to feud with a dentist and here, take on a real life pirate that had stolen one of his many ring jackets.
Of course, the pirate was working big man Jean-Pierre Lafitte and Bret Hart was The Best There Ever Will Be, so their lone pay-per-view singles match was a total triumph for the art-form in the face of a totally artless build. Hart took heavy blows in a battle of power over finesse, reducing his own established stature before evading Lafitte's riskier assaults to claim back his f*cking jacket it mattered half as much as the match had just made it seem.
