10 Amazing Wrestling Matches You’ve Never Seen

2. Owen Hart Vs. Chris Benoit

It's a slice of wrestling trivia the vast majority of fans still aren't aware of, but when the Radicalz stormed the WWF in 2000, that was actually Chris Benoit's long-awaited return to the company, not his long-awaited debut. Prior to heading to WCW Vince had actually had him on trial for a brief stint.

Non-televised encounters with Adam Bomb and Bob Holly were fairly by the numbers, but eye-witness accounts of his match with Owen Hart were something else entirely. Far from being a standard trial between two men who knew the match would never see the glaring lights of television, it was a thrilling, dynamic encounter.

Combining an incredible technical approach with several high-flying, athletic spots, the match would have gone down in WWF history as one of its best offerings that year if it had only been broadcast. As it was though, it just became a curiosity of folklore that, for numerous tragic reasons, we'd never get a repeat of down the line.
