5. Hart Foundation vs. British Bulldogs - 5/2/87
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbikP4Fr5ZY Anybody who'd expect anything less than the absolute best from four of Stampede Wrestling's stalwart performers is crazy. This match in particular may be the finest in a series that extends back to both teams being in the company back in 1985. However, by 1987 all four performers are far more seasoned in what the WWF wants in terms of dramatic performance. There's tons of matches just like this one that occurred given any set of teams in the WWF in this era. The Killer Bees and the Orient Express? Great matches. Demolition and the Powers of Pain? Great stuff. WWF in the 1980s was incredible time for tag team wrestling, and matches like this put that notion on display.
