#2. Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect – SummerSlam 1991

Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect is a wrestling technician's dream, and certainly a match to show during any in-ring training session. Not only was this match fantastic, but it also occurred still in the era where babyfaces and heels mattered tremendously.

The match latest nearly 20 minutes, with Bret locking in the Sharpshooter for the win, which received an amazing ovation. This was the starting point of Bret Hart creating a Hall of Fame career, and becoming a multi-time world champion.
