25 Greatest WWE SummerSlam Matches EVER
11. Bret Hart Vs Owen Hart (SummerSlam 1994)
A beloved cage match between two battling brothers, this emotional offering effectively served as the payoff to the Bret Hart/Owen Hart rivalry as a WWE Championship concern, despite the fights they'd have in the following years.
Preferred to their WrestleMania X match by The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, there was much to love about the pacing and precision of a contest built entirely around fulfilling the brief of the contest rather than just reproducing meaningless, increasingly painful spots.
It's such a shame neither man was considered a legitimate domestic draw atop WWE due the nadir of the industry as a whole. Their work was consistently sublime.
With neither betraying the premise, it instead fell to a single fall - in this case, Owen's from the cage - to register a decision. Trapping his foot, the 'King Of Harts' was powerless to Bret's over-the-top escape before Jim Neidhart running in triggered a mass family brawl almost as gripping as the match itself.
