To date, it's one of only five WWE matches that Dave Meltzer has awarded a five-star rating to, as impressive as one man's subjective opinion could possibly be. But you don't need a wrestling insider to tell you that Bret and Owen's heated steel cage match inside the brand-new United Center was incredible - just watch it for yourself.

Blood was out of the question, due to both WWE's strict content policy, and the fact that neither brother wanted to gush crimson in front of mother Helen (who was seated ringside with a couple dozen other Harts and in-laws). So the two told their normal tale of one-upsmanship in a bitter sibling rivalry, with one desperate escape attempt after another mixed in.

Bret would write that it was the best bloodless cage match ever, and he might be right. From the Sharpshooter reversal spot, to the super-duper-plex, to the near-photo finish that left Owen hanging upside down (not to mention the brawl at the end with every male Hart, minus Stu), the match was a multi-pronged spectacle with pure science at its core.
