Best: Bret Hart vs Bam Bam Bigelow (King Of the Ring 1993)
Winning the King of the Ring was a consolation prize for The Hitman. He should have been walking out of Dayton as the WWE Champion, but it was not to be. It put a chip on his shoulder, and for us, that was awesome as he put on a show with two fantastic matches culminating in a perfect main event with The Beast From The East.
Bam Bam Bigelow’s agility played well with Bret Hart here. They were able to craft a mobile match that highlighted their talents. It was refreshing to see Bigelow open up his repertoire more than he usually could. This was a great wrestling match that never felt slow during its 18 minutes.
Worst: The Undertaker vs The Undertaker (SummerSlam 1994)
The Undertaker has had many interesting opponents throughout his career, but the one that takes the cake was the time that he fought himself. For most of 1994, he took time off due to an injury, and upon his return, he discovered that an imposter had assumed his gimmick. It was an interesting idea, but one that led to a boring match that main-evented SummerSlam.
Seeing two Undertakers go through the same move set provided no entertaining moments. It was a back-and-forth match of no-sells and bad clotheslines. The crowd was already exhausted from the classic Steel Cage Match that took place before, and this contest did nothing to bring them back. It was too much gimmick, not enough substance.
