One WWE Match You MUST Watch From Every Year 1984-2024
32. 1992 - Bret Hart Vs Shawn Michaels, July 21
A hidden gem on the "Smack Em Whack Em" video release that grew to mythical proportions in the pre-streaming era, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels' Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match isn't the best of the genre, but as far as a first one goes it's extremely impressive.
A vision of WWE's extremely near future, the two best wrestlers in the company risking their health and reputations on an untested concept was one of the few forward-facing decisions the organisation made in a year where business went backwards.
