We all know his #1 match is wm with shawn. Aside from that what would you say is his next best match. I say him Austin from wm.

Don't agree, I find the WM Hour match a freaking bore, Bret & Shawn were quality but great mat wrestlers they were not. Most of this match was rest holds, hardly a ground based master class like someone like Benoit or malenko often displayed. I prefer the two Survivor Series matches he had with HBK over this match by far. I think his best match was either vs. Bulldog at Summerslam, vs. Austin at WM or the Benoit match on the Nitro tribute. All quality wrestling matches.

Your joking right, that's what Bret is known for, anway 1. vs Bulldog at SS 92 2. vs Owen at WM X 3. vs Perfect at SS 91 4. vs Undertaker at ONO

For me a great mat wrestlers is the ability to transition from holds smoothly and make the ground game exciting. Something Benoit, malenko, Angle etc could do. Here in this match Bret & HBK merely sit in one stalling move after another Granted it was an hour match and they were pacing themselves, usally Bret was better but my point was that in this particular match that apparently is his best ever match he shows none of that.

The I Quit match from Wrestlemania 13 is my #1 Bret Hart match it was entertaining from start to finish, and had the excellent double face/heel turn. The Bulldog Summerslam match although was great, I think was more about the intense crowd than the actual match itself, I mean Davey Boy was blown up after 5 mins in.
1. vs Stone Cold Steve Austin (WM13) 2. vs British Bulldog (Summerslam '92) 3. vs Owen Hart (WM X) 4. vs Mr Perfect (Summerslam '91) 5. vs Rowdy Roddy Piper (WM VIII)

I'd say my all-time favorite Bret Hart match was him and the Bulldog at IYH 5

I'm a big fan of Bret v.s. Undertaker at SS1997 ... I guess I'm a bit partial since I was there, but it's still incredible.

I agree, SummerSlam 97 was awesome vs. Taker. Vs. Shawn was great too, lots of restholds, but that's to be expected because it was so long. There were some nice mat exchanges in the match, and tons of greatness.

I'd say his match with Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam '91. That match was awesome. Either that one or his match again with Mr. Perfect at King of the Ring '93. They were both classics.

Loved the Piper match, but personally for me I'd say the Perfect SS '91 match would be #2, but I disagree with TC's #1 I'd have to say his #1 was with Bulldog SS '92

Not so much the match, but I thought the ending of this match was one of the best & most original I have ever seen, I was wondering how they would get around the stipulations of Bret never wrestling in the USA again if he lost and Shawn having to be an impartial referee but they did it brilliantly.
