Wrestling Bios Presents - Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart: Breaking Down the Iron Man Match

Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart at WrestleMania 12 happened in Anaheim, California in 1996. Shawn's popularity in the WWF was through the roof, he had been pushed to the moon and his time to become the WWF champion had come. Bret Hart, meanwhile, still have a loyal fanbase who were not ready to see their hero lose the championship. This video takes a look at this very match from WrestleMania XII, a match that some consider one of the greatest WWE matches of all time while others aren't quite so sure.

One of the main talking points about Hart vs Michaels at WrestleMania has always been the amount of rest holds used in the match, along with the minimum use of high spots and exciting moments. In this video, I have counted every single rest hold, how long the rest holds have been put in place, and how many high spots the match actually had. So if you're curious about the actual numbers surrounding the match, make sure to watch!
