96, from an in-ring perspective, is an underrated year. I could do a top 5 matches that weren't included: (in no order) 1) Shawn vs. Bulldog (IYH) 2) Bret vs. Owen (Nov '96 Raw) 3) Shawn vs. Janetty (June '96 Raw) 4) Austin vs. Mankind (Raw, the night after Survivor Series)5) Jake Roberts vs. Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw (Superstars, June '96) I'm serious with that last one. Roberts was on the comeback trail in the quarterfinals of the 1996 King of the Ring, and Bradshaw was undefeated for several months by that point. The match is the perfect telling of a cinderella story and really made Roberts seem like a believable pick to go all the way in the tournament. Excellent match. I forgot when that match actually was, which is why I didn't bring it up. Otherwise it would have cracked my top five easily.
