10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 17)
4. Bret Hart Has Watched His 'Mania XII Match 10 Times In The Last Decade
There's rarely middle ground when it comes to the 60-minute Iron Man Match between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart from WrestleMania XII. Some fans believe it was an epic display of conditioning and storytelling, whereas others believe it was one of the most boring 'Mania headliners in history.
Hart himself has never shifted his own opinion of the match, and the Hitman still views it as one of his greatest ever performances to this day. In fact, Bret enjoys the encounter so much that he apparently watches it whenever he has the chance.
Talking to Sports Illustrated's Extra Mustard gave Hart the opportunity to reveal that he has watched the 'Mania XII main event at least 10 times in the past 10 years.
That will be polarising to many; detractors have criticised Hart and Michaels for failing to make use of one fall or submission during the initial hour, meaning they could only be separated by a 1-0 scoreline following overtime.
It'd be intriguing to find out just how many times Shawn Michaels has sat down to watch the match...
