10 Most Emotional Wrestling Matches
5. Bret 'The Hitman' Hart vs Shawn Michaels (Survivor Series 1997)
Hatred. Unwillingness. Deceit. Forgiveness.
This was the match that changed the wrestling business for the better in 1997.
The hatred between Messrs Michaels and Hart and the unwillingness from Bret to drop the WWF Championship to his rival, led to deceit from Vince McMahon and his rise to the biggest heel in wrestling history plus the ascension of The Attitude Era.
Over 13-years later, forgiveness from all sides finally took place.
We all know how it went down but the ramifications and all the hot air that followed it give it it's own category, we hadn't seen anything like it before and haven't seen anything like it since.
To do it in Canada of all places too; Vince has some big b*lls.
