Wrestlemania Rewind: Bret Hart vs Owen Hart at Wrestlemania X

WrestleMania is an institution, and this year, as the WWE gets prepared to put on their 31st WrestleMania Event, It would be a good time to write about some of the best Wrestlemania matches.Here we are looking back at Bret Hart vs Owen Hart at Wrestlemania X which is quite possibly the greatest opening match at any WrestleMania, and one of my favourite WrestleMania matches of all time.

It all started at Royal Rumble 1994, It saw Bret Hart and Lex Lugar simultaneously go over the top rope. As a result, at Wrestlemania X, both would face the champion, Yokozuna. A coin toss determined that Lugar would take on Yoko first then Bret would face the winner of that match to close the show.

However, Bret still had two matches that night, the first against his younger brother Owen. The story went that Owen was tired of living in the shadow of his brother Bret and things came to a head at the Survivor Series. In their match Owen was the only member eliminated from the Hart family team owing to a collision with Bret. They patched things up to face the toag champions The Quebecers at the 1994 Royal Rumble but Bret failed tag his brother and the match was stopped due to his knee injury. Owen then kicked that same knee from under Bret after the match setting up this brother v brother match that kicked off Wrestlemania X.
