5 Best Wrestling Matches of 1995

4. Bret Hart vs. the British Bulldog – In Your House 5

Much like their legendary encounter at SummerSlam 1992, Bret & British Bulldog had a fantastic encounter at In Your House for the world title. This match, however, had another great personal edge because there was another Hart in the middle of the story: Bret’s sister Diana, who was also Bulldog’s wife. The camera panned to her several times, and the anxiety on her face was the perfect way to encapsulate how the other fans watching were feeling as well.

Bulldog used some great power moves and looked like a true world-champion-calibre athlete in this match. Meanwhile, Bret’s selling and execution (pardon the pun) were too crisp and realistic that he made even the most simplistic moves look painful and crippling.

This match is a classic for any fan of WWE’s because it shows just how good their wrestling could be when athleticism and drama were the focal points instead of gimmicks and theatrics. You didn’t need to know much of the story leading up to it as the wrestlers told their story in the ring, which is how it should be.
