100 Greatest WWE Matches Of All Time (Ranked)

100. Bret & Owen Hart vs. The Steiner Brothers (WrestleFest 1994/11 January 1994 Wrestling Challenge)

This might seem like a very strange starting point, but...have you seen how great Bret and Owen Hart were as a fleeting tag-team in 1994? They worked a higher-profile pay-per-view match vs. The Quebecers at the '94 Royal Rumble, but that paled in comparison to a bout taped less than a few weeks before that one. Bret and Owen matched up against Rick and Scott Steiner at the 11 January Wrestling Challenge tapings, and it was a thing of beauty.

The WWF included this match on their WrestleFest 1994 VHS release, so it's been immortalised. Good thing they did too, because simply seeing an in-his-prime Bret mix it with a still-athletic Scotty Steiner was awesome. Typically for four guys like this, they refused to phone it in - the pace picked up once Owen entered (injecting energy into matches was one of his biggest strengths), and then the quartet were off to the races after that.

One of the biggest compliments you could give this match is that everybody looked like they wanted to win. There were never any moves for the sake of doing moves, or dizzying amounts of spots just because they wanted to 'get their s*** in'. No, this was a Bret Hart match, and he favoured psychology and storytelling over ripping it with no rhyme or reason.

Bret and Owen memorably split when the latter kicked the former's "leg outta [his] leg" at the Rumble. Had that not happened, then there's a real chance the WWF might've plonked this on a bigger platform come the spring or summer. We got robbed of that, people. Robbed!
