Percentage Of Votes: 36.5%.

Other Choices: Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H ('Mania XXX - 26%), 'Mania 23 MITB (20.7%), Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero ('Mania 21 - 16.8%).

Every good wrestling show needs a good opener, and there are few better in WWE folklore than this battle of the Hart brothers from WrestleMania X. Of the four choices available in the original poll on Twitter (that's all the site allows, although fans were encouraged to share their own in the comments), Bret vs. Owen nabbed 36.5% of the votes.

The technical wizardry both siblings achieved was a dazzling reminder to everyone, including Vince McMahon on commentary, that solid pro wrestling is wonderful. It was yet another example of Bret's ability to lead, and Owen looked like a genuine singles star for the first time in his WWF career.

This pipped Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H by 10.5%. Incredible.
