1. 12/14/89 - The Hart Foundation vs. The Rockers (WWF @ Copps Coliseum)
How Can I Watch It: Search for it online Taking place on a house show from Hamilton, Ontario, this is the best Rockers-Hart Foundation match you will find, bar none. With WWF cameras already in attendance to film bouts for Prime Time Wrestling and Coliseum Video releases Tough Guys and Hottest Matches, the company decided to keep rolling in order to record this meeting of their two most popular tag teams, in order to record it for posterity. What a great decision that turned out to be. The match is non-stop for the duration, chock to the brim with crisp counter-wrestling, smartly-worked double-teams, smooth exchanges, fast-paced action and some perfect execution. The work between Hart and Michaels in particular stands out, with the future rivals engaging in a sensational series of sequences, all at breakneck pace. The time limit draw finish at a random 21:18 doesn't hurt the viewing experience any either, as after watching the effort levels put in by all four men you don't really want either team to come out on the losing side anyway. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8h1k8_hart-foundation-vs-rockers-part-01_shortfilms Other than a brief run on WWEs pre-Network 24/7 online channel this hasn't been released anywhere else. Which is baffling. It is surely one of the best matches that WWE has from their own library that has never seen the light of day on a DVD release. This article is finished now, so go to your preferred online search engine, locate this match, and watch it immediately!
