5 Best WWE Matches Of 1996

#5.) Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels – WrestleMania 12

The culmination of Shawn Michaels’ journey saw him receive a major coronation at WrestleMania 12. He had to go through his bitter rival Bret Hart in a 60-minute Iron Man Match to reach the summit, but he managed to do so in style. The two went a full hour without scoring a single pinfall, but in overtime, Michaels managed to finish his rival and win his first-ever World Championship.
