A very personal battle this would have been a shoe-in for the best match that night if a certain ladder match hadn't have happened later.

The enmity between the two brothers was palpable throughout the masterfully-worked contest. Owen Hart wanted to prove he was a better wrestler than his older brother. Bret wanted to punish Owen for his insolence.

Owen worked Bret's knees throughout the match, but he couldn't get his brother to tap with the Sharpshooter. After many reversals and high-impact moves, Owen managed to put his brother away with a roll-up.

Usually, this would be an anticlimactic end, but not this time. With this finish, Owen could still arrogantly claim to be the better wrestler, even though he barely won, while fans got more invested in Bret, who sold the disbelief of his loss sublimely.

His morale looked visibly shaken prior to his title aspirations later that night. He now had a bigger mountain to overcome when facing Yokozuna.
