As a Bret coinsurer myself, I do think that the KotR match might be slightly better than the Summerslam match. Something about it really turns Bret into a mega star, while it sends Hennig out on a high, albeit sad, note not long after because of the back.In my mind the single greatest rivalry was Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect in terms of the utter... perfection of the matches.
Every single match they had was a classic.
They were the two greatest workers of their age.
I think this is their first match in the WWF. Hennig returned to the WWF in late 88 or early 89, but would only begin his legendary IC title run in early 1990.

Taker's best matches, along with Diesel's best matches, were always with Bret. Royal Rumble 96, with Bret vs Taker, is one of my favorite big man vs small guy matches. Bret is methodical in taking down the big man, while Taker comes away looking like an unstoppable freaky big man.Look at what I just found, @RchfldCavRaised!
I think this might be the only full match between Undertaker and Bret Hart.
Back when Taker was a cheating heel.
Never a cleaner, text-book perfect execution of a suplex ever.
We'll never know if the Undertaker would have tapped out from the Sharpshooter.
Bret Hart is the GOAT, as far as I'm concerned. He took the business ultra-serious, which is kind of lame, but it showed in the way he perfected his craft. The Daniel-Day Lewis of Wrestling.
