A 25 minute ROH style match for the WWE championship. Earlier in the year they had faced 2 or 3 times on tv while both were world champions, but I sort of felt like they were holding back just a little something extra in case they ever got that ppv match, when they would let it all hang out. This was that match, and it did not disappoint.
Overlooked or forgotten by many, but it's maybe the greatest technical exhibition in the history of the WWE championship. What Bret vs Shawn in the Ironman was supposed to be, this was.

Easy second.

I remember ordering this show. I was so excited and couldn’t believe this match was happening.

A very Bret Hart match. I’m gonna rewatch to refresh my memory. I recall the announce booth being exceptionally awful though.
