Austin-Hart was extremely close to being my number 1, so I can't complain too much about the outcome. You rarely see moments like this where one match can put over a new star in a match he lost so well. In addition, just as Bret vs. Owen at Summerslam 1994 is a model for escape-from-the-cage matches, Austin vs Bret at WM13 became the model for how to do a genuinely believable street fight. Every move meant something in that match, and none of it seemed stupid. The Jericho vs Michaels unsanctioned match at Unforgiven was I think an attempt to do something similar albeit in a very different feud. Anyway, here's my full list:
1. Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart (Cage) - Summerslam 1994 [#4] 2. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin (Submission) - Wrestlemania 13 [#1] 3. Davey Boy Smith vs. Bret Hart - Summerslam 1992 [#3] 4. Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart - Wrestlemania X [#2] 5. Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith - In Your House 5: Season's Beatings (1995) [#14] 6. Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels - Survivor Series 1992 [#15] 7. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin - Survivor Series 1996 [#9] 8. Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect - 1993 King of The Ring Semi-Final [#10] 9. Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart (Iron Man) - Wrestlemania 12 [#7] 10. Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit (Owen Hart Tribute Match) - WCW Monday Nitro 4/10/99 [#6]

#11Total Points: 55WWE Championship: The Undertaker(c) vs. Bret Hart - Summerslam 1997Full Match it would have been perfect if Shawn had called for the dq and justified it by saying a wrestler not invovled in the match interfered and attacked Undertaker

This is probably just me, but when it comes to Bret vs. (tall big man) I've always considered the matches to be the same. Bret goes for the legs, which granted, is a great strategy when going against a taller opponent, but the only match that I thought would stand out in "Best of..." series was the No-DQ against Diesel. Even then I'm very disappointed that the tag against the Steiners with Owen didn't make the list. Again I must push that match. IMO it's one of the best tag matches ever, despite the way it ends.

Agreed about the Harts/Steiners match. The ending might not be the best in the world, but they were both over babyface teams at the time and even still that kind of stuff is rare to come by to have arguably the most over face teams in the company in the same match, it's quality excitement at its finest. The stuff with Bret and Scott is wowzers.

Yeah, despite the ending this was the only tag team match I put on the list, and imo for a good reason. As for similar matches fighting big guys, usually they are only different if the smaller guy is (billed as) very powerful (Cena), acrobatic (Jeff) or maybe an extreme match specialist, but they didn't have that that much in Bret's time with the WWE.

Maybe I overlooked it, but I would have liked to have seen the 1988 Royal Rumble on the list. This was the match where Vince & Jesse both put over Bret and he lasted in excess of 35 minutes as one of the first two guys to start.
(Of course I had no idea this list even happened, so it's my fault. But, I'm satisfied.)

GREAT list!! Especially the Top 3. Personally, I give the IC title match with Bulldog a *slight* edge over WrestleMania X. But still, this list is purely EPIC.
