Randy Savage and Bret Hart Put On A Clinic
Saturday Night’s Main Event was a wonderful novelty. It contained many great moments and was a wonderful bridge to the shortage of PLEs during the Golden Era. Unfortunately, it was not a show that was full of great wrestling. It’s hard to find matches that set the world on fire; luckily, there was one huge standout when Randy Savage took on Bret Hart in a technical masterpiece.
Bret Hart was still a tag team specialist at the time, but his talent was undeniable. Hart and Randy Savage engaged in an incredible match that was given the time to build a great story. The world knew that The Macho Man was a main event guy, but we all witnessed what Bret Hart could do on his own. He proved to everyone that he had the potential to be great.
