Steve Austin grimaces in pain at WrestleMania 13, his face covered in blood, as Bret Hart yanks back on his Sharpshooter.

Considered by many to be the greatest match in WrestleMania history, Bret Hart and Steve Austin didn't just put on an enthralling contest; they also successfully executed one of the trickiest angles in all of wrestling - the double turn.

After a compelling, hard-hitting encounter, the pair pulled off one of the most iconic finishes in all of wrestling. A bleeding Austin found himself trapped in the Sharpshooter, but refused to submit, instead passing out from the pain. Hart completed his heel turn by attacking his unconscious opponent after the bell, forcing special guest referee Ken Shamrock to step in. Now a bona fide fan favourite, Stone Cold was able to truly harness his popularity, and the Attitude Era would begin in earnest.
