One of the few WWE tag team matches to ever end in a draw, The Steiner Brothers vs. The Hart Brothers also remains one of the most exceptional (and seriously underrated) tag performances in WWE history. In terms of technicality, it's hard to find a better example of how to incorporate amateur wrestling moves into a pro wrestling match and still keep it exciting. And just to go all-in on the technical aspects of this matchup, Mr. Perfect was in on commentary.
Scott Steiner, for one, has never looked better that he did here, showcasing his incredible strength while proving he could execute complex moves just as well as his brother. His time in the ring with Owen was especially illuminating, as their styles contrasted in very entertaining fashion.
All told, this match was a 30-minute classic and somehow the double count-out decision wasn't even a disappointment. It actually felt kinda right. This match certainly requires more patience than today's matches, but if you're willing to watch things breathe and escalate naturally, you can't go wrong here.
