10 WWE Matches Fans Couldn’t Give A Sh*t About After Watching A Classic

The Stone Cold Steve Austin/Bret Hart masterpiece that stole and saved WrestleMania 13 (and transformed the industry) was almost impossible to follow. Astonishingly, The Nation Of Domination, The Legion Of Doom and Ahmed Johnson managed it with their chaotic Chicago Street Fight. A filthy brawl cleansed the palette of a rabid crowd ostensibly exhausted from one of the most evocative matches in wrestling history, easing them back into the entertainment having given everything to the two men that gave them even more.

No, the bruising six-man war wasn't a 'classic', but deserves genuine praise for recapturing a crowd that could have happily strolled for the exits with an hour still to go. With that on top of Hart/Austin, The Undertaker and Sid's ponderous show-closer was fittingly only suited for psychopaths and the dead.

Bret Hart's bothersome bookending helped cement his heel turn at least, but the bloated portion between his interjections contained only the worst of Vince McMahon's favoured style. Two giant men punched, kicked and choked one another, as their pedestrian effort betrayed their superhuman visage.
