The two greatest in-ring technicians of their generation. Two men who had risen from legendary WWE tag teams, to being kings of the mid-card and Intercontinental title scene, and then finally smashing through the seemingly impenetrable glass ceiling of wrestling's oversized giants. Bret 'The Hitman' Hart and Shawn Michaels will forever have their careers intertwined. It's only fitting that these two legends of the ring have a classic WrestleMania main event match together in their history.

Pitted together in an Iron Man match, these two legends of the ring headlined WrestleMania 12 and battled to a scoreless draw after 60 gruelling minutes. As such, the match went into sudden death. One pinfall would decide the WWE Championship as the world held its breath.

Shawn Michaels eventually won the night with a Sweet Chin Music for the ages. He sank to his knees, holding the WWE Championship with tears in his eyes. "The boyhood dream comes true", said Vince McMahon in the greatest line of his commentary career. The Montreal Screwjob might define the rivalry that Bret and Shawn shared, but this WrestleMania 12 classic gives their feud a happier sheen and lives on in the heart of every pro wrestling fan.
