On 21 April, Steve Austin and Bret Hart worked a WrestleMania 13 rematch that's been forgotten about even by fans who lived through this era. That's a shame, because their 'Street Fight' was one of the most engaging, violent and fun brawls Raw has ever produced.

You need to see it.

Modern wrestling feuds could learn a lot from how both men tore into one another like they were genuinely plotting the other's demise. Everything, from Austin refusing to relinquish Bret's own Sharpshooter to the ambulance angle booked later in the same episode, is must see stuff.

'Mania 13's submission effort gets a lot of love, and rightly so, but this was a blistering third chapter that closely followed another banger 24 hours earlier at In Your House 14: Revenge Of The 'Taker. Seriously, enough chat - just go watch it.
