10 WWE WrestleMania Matches That Sadly Get Overlooked
You NEED to check out these underrated classics!
3. The Chicago Street Fight (WrestleMania 13)
When the dust settled on Bret Hart and Steve Austin's masterpiece of a Submission Match, it was hard fathom anything ever topping it.
History is even kinder to the match, as not only does the action hold up, but Austin's success in the six years after add more gravity to his blood-soaked limp up the aisle, under a torrent of applause.
It's a "chill" moment like nothing before or since, and really, what could follow that?
Ahmed Johnson, The Legion of Doom, and The Nation of Domination had their work cut out for them that night, sitting in a rather unenviable position. But all things considered, they delivered what was expected of them and then some, brawling with no end in sight during 11 minutes of pure anarchy.
There's barely a structure, and nary a breather, as the six men, plus the Nation's various underlings, just beat the hell out of other from bell-to-bell, and even after the second bell. The match is a template for the hardcore matches that followed over the years, with no contrivance, and no filler.
