I was almost expecting you to say “The Quebecers, no not the Amazing French Canadians, the Quebecers” during the lead up section. The Hart brothers were both truly masters of their craft and definitely the best part of the New Generation Era in my opinion.
One of the GREATEST matches ever! It's really crazy how many amazing matches Bret was in. A lot of the current generation of wrestling fans really underrate just how great Bret & Owen were. Masterclass video brother!
I didn't discover it until a few weeks ago. Every single video I've seen is so in depth with a real appreciation for every aspect of wrestling. I love it.
How many "best ever matches" are with the hit man? Guys was incredible. I personally always loved Owen's heel traits though. He was so funny. RIP Owen.
What a match, what a rivalry, what a family. Bret showing how great a storyteller he was once again, and Owen showing how great he was and how much he deserved to be a main eventer
I really wanted Owen to avenge bret and defeat shawn michaels for the title after getting rid of the blue blazer gimmick. Pity we never got that moment.
@@923crono would have made perfect sense and been great business but it's a reason I still don't like HBK. I know he's found god or what not but I cannot get over how many career's he hindered and even detailed because of his ego and insecurity. Owen deserved so much more and Shawn deserved humbling much earlier than he got
I’ve never been a fan of escape only cage matches, but these two made me like it exactly once. Who knew all that it took was two of the greatest to ever do it
Personally can’t see the point in pin falls in a cage match, doesn’t make sense , if you’re put in a cage and looking for the 1-2-3 then why can’t you do that in without the cage? Escaping the cage makes it more difficult and exciting to me but understand people will feel different
@@leepower2913 to me constantly going for escapes, especially after every move feels like they want to surrender. To me, it makes more sense to be the last one standing in a ring, instead of racing to be the first one out. I do enjoy escape tag matches like the Hardys one from the attitude era
@Black Boy King TV and Austin almost killed Masahiro Chono with an identical Piledriver about 6 years earlier. Does that disqualify Steve Austin as one of the best ever?
It's one of the few times the escape rules made sense for both wrestlers: for Owen wanting any chance to beat Bret, and for Bret still wanting to avoid inflicting too much damage on his baby brother.
not hardly this was two brothers who wanted to beat each other to a pulp and they just ran it was the worst match between the two go check out osws review on it
No way to top this match Undertaker didn't have a prayer of beating this one. Kind of like Hogan trying to followup on the heels of HBK and Razor's 1st ladder match just perfect no real way to top it as a main eventer. Always nice to see another match steel the show right out from under the big headliner.
My favourite match of all time! I used this match to introduce my son to wrestling when he was 4. He's 6 now and is a huge fan of wrestling, AEW in particular. While, I don't watch WWE anymore, I do owe WWE because this match along with King of 1993 and Mr. Perfect VS Bret Hart in Summerslam 1991 are where my love for wrestling began and it now has continued on with my son.
@@martynodonnell8467 mania 9 was where my brother and i became fans, even tho, looking back it was a pretty weak show and alot say it was the worst ever, we always hold it high regard.
Such a quality Cage Match. A quality moment is the sudden response by the late Jim Neidhart. It was legendary by the way he suddenly jumped over and clotheslined Davey Boy and Diane over the railings 😂😊
I know their WrestleMania 10 match is the greatest opening match ever, but to get a classic at SummerSlam in that same year was my favorite between these two. In their rivalry. You could see the competitiveness in the storytelling in this match.
Growing up with 2 siblings I can relate to the Bret and Owen brotherly rivalry. No matter how great I was at sports, video games, etc my oldest brother would always get the shine and i was still stuck in his shadow. The competitive nature of being number one and having that popularity was important back then. Great storytelling by the Hart Brothers
Well idk bout the video games but me and my brother did sports when we was little. He got an 80 yrd touchdown and I was jealous. When we got older I started being a front man and my older brother was jealous of that.... I actually wanted to impress him instead he resented it. What a shame. But yes brothers compete. When we fought growing up he ALWAYS won. We fought a couple of years ago and it was pretty even. That is a sybling thing....
What's so wonderful about this (and you), is that it's a nice aperitif to this week's RTW, where the Hart Foundation reforms. My favorite time of the war.
Definitely among my favourite cage matches. Such a shame this was the closest Owen got to being a potential main eventer and his WWF title match is still playing second fiddle to the Undertaker vs Undertaker main event. Even sadder is the fact he'd never escape the mid card after this match.
If he lived I think he could have gotten a great push to go against The Rock or HHH. He definitely had the skills and I think even Vince would have rewarded his loyalty after everything given more time. I think the Blue Blazer stuff was just kind of Gimmic because Vince and the bookers didn't really know what to do with him. Which is sad because he could have had great matches against anyone. Stone Cold vs Owen would have been awesome he had the charism to be a main eventer even though he was a smaller guy. Even later when guys like Chris Gherico got a push Owen would have done better. He was stuck at midcard when he didn't deserve to be.
Owner was so underrated, miss utilized and poorly booked throughout his entire WWE career. Own Deserved the title as much as anyone else did and way more then most held it!
Maybe I think that the survivor series 1994 main event should have been Bret vs Owen with Owen winning the title and not fast tracking diesel by sacrificing bob backland then mania 11 he would beat Owen.
@@phoenixstar5000 we already know that, but it wasn't recorded as a WWF championship win, and Owen deserved way better than a dumb house show win, where he would just give it back.
A classic match loved the cage match of Bret vs Owen it even brought Bret to tears talking about the superlex of the cage and how he looked after his brother
This cage match was phenomenal to watch. Probably the best cage match ever in Summerslam History. Both wrestlers giving it their best. That match had great wrestling styles and everything.
If hbk was mr wrestlemania, bret was mr summerslam. He had so many classics. 90, tag team demoltion. 91, mr perfect. 92, davey boy. 93, doink/lawler. 94, owen. 97, undertaker.
OWEN SHOULD HAVE WON!!!! I will keep saying this till I’m blue in the face… wwf 94 🔥🔥🔥🔥 until they gave the belt to Diesel… who I love! But it was too soon… outta left field… At the time.. Bret Owen was the main story… it was hot… The stage was set perfectly with all the outside interference Owen had on his side during that cage match… You have Owen win the belt with help from outside… Then you have Mania 11 With Bret going in down 0-2 beat Owen for belt.. That’s where all the momentum was… Not Shawn and Diesel.. That’s why 95 sucked… They got away from where the heat was….
Never understood why they went with Bob as champion in 94 instead of owen. He could of dropped it to diesel and bret and owen could of ran it back at mania 11. Missed opportunity
It was to set Diesel up as champ and reward Bob for not showing up for Vince's steroid trial scandal. There was concerns, that Vince did witness tampering.
Another awesome upload from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet. One of the best feuds in wrestling history. I wonder what would have happened to Owens career had the tragic accident during 99 not happened. He should have been champion at some point. Between the awesome storyline featuring Bret during 97, which is being covered at the moment on reliving the war and this storyline and the many other storylines Bret had his career really was full of legendary storylines and matches. Greatest steel cage match ever. I think their WM 10 match was better. However how do you top that?
This will inspire me to rewatch Summerslam & King of the Ring '94! Seeing Diesel come into his own as Bret brought the best out of him. I almost forgot about that Diana bump! If my sister was asked to take that fall I would have been pissed too. Those steel barricades are unforgiving. She could have broken her neck. Davey Boy was jacked to the gills '93-95. From '97 on he was not the same physique-wise but was still one of the best in the ring- when he was on/chose to give his best. Bret & Owen must have done some serious cardio to prepare for this match! A wonderful story was told indeed!
I remember watching this as a kid. During that time, it felt like the whole match was a marathon.... especially once the Anvil and the Hart family got involved. As a young lad just watching Bret being beaten up inside the cage and with the British Bulldog and Bruce being knocked down from helping. Such action and drama.... amazing!
Did you misspell “pallet” on purpose? It’s kind of funny. I suppose if you’re working in a warehouse long hours, you need a pallet cleanser to get your mind off of work. :)
@@NoirFan01 actually I do work long overnights stocking and unloading off pallets. That's funny, I was actually on break when I posted that too lol but yes a palate cleanser.
I always enjoyed Owen harts theme it sounded like something out of saved by the bell but still a great theme song. I loved the Owen vs Bret steel cage match it told a really great story and it had me on the edge of my seat.
I'm so happy that you covered this match. It's my favorite cage match of all time, but no one ever talks about it. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. You always do.
As a kid Bret Hart was always my favourite wrestler. Now that I've grown up he's only further distanced himself from all the others. His promos were no lie he is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Every one of his matches were excellently executed. Owen's body of work really has rocketed him up the ranks of my all-time favourites. I could watch a Hart match any time.
He's right about the suspense of this match. I remember watching this as a 10 year old being on edge seeing each one trying to escape the cage. This was a great match
I know it’s been said before but Owen was an amazing heel, had the ability to sucker the face in by backing off, whilst laughing. At times easily had the crowd in his palm. Loved both Bret and Owen when I was growing up. As always this channel shows why it’s one of the best wrestling channels on here…
That was the best time in wrestling, for me personally the best steel cage match in history. Die hard Hitman fan since 1989! The best period is from 80s to 1999!Bret got me to watch wrrestling 🤘That was still real good wrestling where the story was built super and the story was told very well in the ring!! The wrestling of today is like a circus and too much is done with high flying!! I have the wwe network and only watch the 80s and 90s for years now . This feud was just fantastic and my childhood , at that time i was 10 years old . No Internet where you could read everything before it took place, as I said the best time🤘🤘
If Giant Gonzalez would have gotten into the cage with Loch Ness, THAT would have been the greatest cage match ever seen. This is just the provisional best until that match finally takes place.
Man I'm glad there are still people out there who appreciate how great Bret Hart was and when I watch your videos it always brings a smile to my face when you give him the acknowledgements he deserves. As time has gone on his name has been mentioned less and less when people talk about some of the all time greats and I think this is in large part to how his career was cut short and the WCW run as well as the couple spots when he returned to WWE being far from his best work.
As a calgarian and knowing these boys from Stampede Wrestling you had no choice but to watch top-notch entertainment. All the top WWF guys came from Stampede Wrestling here in Calgary. . Okay... most of them. But this is what we watched on a weekly basis Great psychology and storytelling. Stampede Wrestling had the best of everything. This is what we brought to the WWF.. as a calgarian I'm glad you enjoyed.
They were truly what Brett always stated "The Best there was, the Best there is, the Best there every shall be". We will never have another like them..... Truly. LM
Someone give this man a contract already! The way that he retails stories is just brilliant… Just the Monday night wars that you tell. Hands-down would beat in any show in ratings
I was at this show. It was a great match. It was similar to the Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels steel cage match that was at the Rosemont Horizon a year earlier. If I'm not mistaken, even the finish was pretty much the same as this one with Shawn Michaels hanging upside down with his leg through one of the bars while Bret Hart makes the full escape victory. STILL entertaining none the less. The WWE REALLY should have put the Hart vs Hart cage match as last match on the show, because the Undertaker vs Undertaker match was completely DREADFUL in comparison. There was NO way the two Undertakers were able to top the two Harts...
I was THERE at the United Center for SummerSlam 94. The cage match was the absolute highlight. The Undertaker v Undertaker match was right after that. I wondered at the time why there was so many attempts to get out. Also being up in the cheap seats, I didn't know that it was the Bulldog with the long hair. It was thunderous in the arena though when Bret won! Both men saved the show with this match.
Imagine if 1994- 1995 had Owen, Bret, Mr. Perfect, HBK , Marty Jannetty and 123 Kid all having feuds and matches in rotation. That would have been an amazing year for technical matches, but alas it never happened.
Summerslam '94 was the very first WWE PPV I watched, and this match is etched onto my memory as a classic, and was why Bret Hart was my fave wrestler as a kid.
I think the way the way Bret describe this match in his book and why they did it the way they did it was absolute genius!! Both of them deserve all the praise in the world for being able to pull this match off in the manner that they do
It's no fluke that bret had the best summerslam bout. Best cage bout. Best wrestle mania opener. Best ironman bout and best submission bout. Bret certainly is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be!! Those that disagree, there's a sharpshooter waiting for ya! Haha
It should also be noted that McMahon was vehemently against Bret vs Owen because quote, "Brothers don't fight". LOOOOOL McMahon has always been delusional.
back when wrestling was wrestling. saw this match back then and as a huge bret hart fan to this day, i felt so sad for him and the whole family stuff. i really thought owen would hate bret... so glad all that awesome oldschool stuff is around, because nowadays "wrestling" is unwatchable.
A match that honestly shouldn't have been a feud ender as both men just kept trying to escape the cage rather than being anything worthy of a blood feud. Their Mania 10 match was waaaaay better.
100%. I was 12 when this took place and the Mania match blew me away. This cage match bored me because it made no sense. Built up all year to Bret finally cracking and wanting to fight Owen, only for them to have a stupid escape the cage match. I remember thinking how much better it would have been to see Owen submit in the cage, or to somehow beat Bret again and take the belt for a while.
When you consider how poor the WWF was in 95, I really wish they had kept pushing Owen, he could have had some classic matches with Bret, Shawn and even Diesel at the main event level, all competing for the title.
Owen hart should've won the title at SummerSlam then drop it back to him at Survivor Series, just to give him that ONE run as the World Champion. He was one of my favourite wrestlers as well , and his tragic death was a mystery of what could have been. Rest In Paradise Owen !!
I was almost expecting you to say “The Quebecers, no not the Amazing French Canadians, the Quebecers” during the lead up section. The Hart brothers were both truly masters of their craft and definitely the best part of the New Generation Era in my opinion.
I love Razor as well.
They're not the mounties
He missed a trick there. My favourite of his catchphrases, makes me smile every time!
Usually the memes in Reliving the War stay there
@@Thor-Orion big fan of razor myself, but agree with original comment of Owen and bret being fantastic workers
God, I absolutely loved that Owen Hart theme. He and Bret had two of the greatest entrance themes in professional wrestling in the 90's.
@@Autisticwanderer I disagree. It was cool and it also screamed arrogance. Just re-watch his entrance at Wrestlemania 10. It's epic.
It was a babyface theme for his tag team with Koko days.
@@jasonmccrank4981 it was upbeat for a heel, but it reminded people he was still 'The 🚀'. 😀

One of the GREATEST matches ever! It's really crazy how many amazing matches Bret was in. A lot of the current generation of wrestling fans really underrate just how great Bret & Owen were. Masterclass video brother!
Owen should still be alive today. He absolutely should.
Arguably Bret's greatest mach was with Mr. Perfect in '91. Kill me but I'd take Owen vs 1-2-3 Kid '95 Raw over that one.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 Both superb matches, cementing that you're a gentleman of impeccable taste!

@@marcbasil I'm not sure what pressed your buttons.
This channel is a Bret Hart fan's dream come true.
I just wish the wwf did this good a job presenting him

It's run by a Bret Hart fan, so it stands to reason!
Echo that.
I didn't discover it until a few weeks ago. Every single video I've seen is so in depth with a real appreciation for every aspect of wrestling. I love it.
Bret vs Owen is kind of like Eddie vs Rey or Flair vs Steamboat. It's always gonna be on another level.
U just saved an average Tuesday. Thanks Wrestling Bios
How many "best ever matches" are with the hit man? Guys was incredible. I personally always loved Owen's heel traits though. He was so funny. RIP Owen.
Both guys were phenomenal. Bret was mesmerising every time he got in there and nobody approaches the quality of his work.
In the words of a legend. It's "kick or be kickin' "
Kickin' legs out of your leg, that is.
“ And that’s why I be kicking your leg from your kicking Bret. You’re too damn kicking selfish”
What a match, what a rivalry, what a family. Bret showing how great a storyteller he was once again, and Owen showing how great he was and how much he deserved to be a main eventer

He's right about the suspense of this match. I remember watching this as a 10 year old being on edge seeing each one trying to escape the cage. This was a great match
Fantastic rivalry. Great storytelling, promos, matches, just everything that came out of that angle was classic.
This was the match that got me into pro wrestling. Owen will always be my favorite hart and i love Bret. This feud was exceptionally great
I know it’s been said before but Owen was an amazing heel, had the ability to sucker the face in by backing off, whilst laughing. At times easily had the crowd in his palm. Loved both Bret and Owen when I was growing up. As always this channel shows why it’s one of the best wrestling channels on here…
Great video mate
Feud of the Year!
That was the best time in wrestling, for me personally the best steel cage match in history. Die hard Hitman fan since 1989! The best period is from 80s to 1999!Bret got me to watch wrrestling 🤘That was still real good wrestling where the story was built super and the story was told very well in the ring!! The wrestling of today is like a circus and too much is done with high flying!!
I have the wwe network and only watch the 80s and 90s for years now .
This feud was just fantastic and my childhood , at that time i was 10 years old .
No Internet where you could read everything before it took place, as I said the best time🤘🤘
If Giant Gonzalez would have gotten into the cage with Loch Ness, THAT would have been the greatest cage match ever seen.
This is just the provisional best until that match finally takes place.
Man I'm glad there are still people out there who appreciate how great Bret Hart was and when I watch your videos it always brings a smile to my face when you give him the acknowledgements he deserves. As time has gone on his name has been mentioned less and less when people talk about some of the all time greats and I think this is in large part to how his career was cut short and the WCW run as well as the couple spots when he returned to WWE being far from his best work.
As a calgarian and knowing these boys from Stampede Wrestling you had no choice but to watch top-notch entertainment. All the top WWF guys came from Stampede Wrestling here in Calgary. . Okay... most of them. But this is what we watched on a weekly basis
Great psychology and storytelling. Stampede Wrestling had the best of everything. This is what we brought to the WWF.. as a calgarian I'm glad you enjoyed.
94 year in wrestling very underrated
I always liked bret's 1994 paint splattered gear
No Question this is the best cage match of all time the story they told the Hart family in the audience just amazing 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the match that got me hooked on wrestling. It was my first look at WWF
They were truly what Brett always stated "The Best there was, the Best there is, the Best there every shall be". We will never have another like them..... Truly.
LM
Owen should have been the champion, even if it was only for a short time.
"Greatest Cage Match" I believe the OSW lads would want a word about that!
Yep. :-D
One of my favorite summerslams
I remember laughing my ass off as a kid when I saw British bulldog get closelined from behind while comically pumping his fist cheering 😂
What an awesome match , 2 of the best technical wrestlers that ever graced the squared circle .... R.I.P owen 🖤
This was the match that made me finally take the leap and admit that I enjoy wrestling.
Someone give this man a contract already! The way that he retails stories is just brilliant… Just the Monday night wars that you tell. Hands-down would beat in any show in ratings
I was at this show. It was a great match. It was similar to the Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels steel cage match that was at the Rosemont Horizon a year earlier. If I'm not mistaken, even the finish was pretty much the same as this one with Shawn Michaels hanging upside down with his leg through one of the bars while Bret Hart makes the full escape victory. STILL entertaining none the less. The WWE REALLY should have put the Hart vs Hart cage match as last match on the show, because the Undertaker vs Undertaker match was completely DREADFUL in comparison. There was NO way the two Undertakers were able to top the two Harts...
Truly a "Fight Forever!" match
First saw this match on a DVD about the history of the heavyweight title. A real classic! Thanks as always for your videos
I was THERE at the United Center for SummerSlam 94. The cage match was the absolute highlight. The Undertaker v Undertaker match was right after that. I wondered at the time why there was so many attempts to get out. Also being up in the cheap seats, I didn't know that it was the Bulldog with the long hair. It was thunderous in the arena though when Bret won! Both men saved the show with this match.
This was the match that got me into wrestling
Brett should have gotten Owen the belt. Owen's career would have become a major main eventor
Imagine if 1994- 1995 had Owen, Bret, Mr. Perfect, HBK , Marty Jannetty and 123 Kid all having feuds and matches in rotation. That would have been an amazing year for technical matches, but alas it never happened.
Davey with the long hair and big glasses feels like a totally different man from the rest of his career.
Summerslam '94 was the very first WWE PPV I watched, and this match is etched onto my memory as a classic, and was why Bret Hart was my fave wrestler as a kid.
When I saw this posted, I watched the match first. I remember hearing about this match as a kid, but I never saw it until yesterday. AWESOME match!
I think the way the way Bret describe this match in his book and why they did it the way they did it was absolute genius!!
Both of them deserve all the praise in the world for being able to pull this match off in the manner that they do
It's no fluke that bret had the best summerslam bout. Best cage bout. Best wrestle mania opener. Best ironman bout and best submission bout. Bret certainly is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be!! Those that disagree, there's a sharpshooter waiting for ya! Haha
This was my favorite cage match, and my favorite Bret vs Owen match, thank you for this video
" I'm gonna break my brothers leg out of his leg " 🤣
RIP Owen.. a legend. Great match between 2 true icons
It should also be noted that McMahon was vehemently against Bret vs Owen because quote, "Brothers don't fight".
LOOOOOL McMahon has always been delusional.
The man who feuded with his wife, son, daughter and son-in-law.
@@dryllmnca In addition to being a scumbag he's also a thief who steals successful angles and ideas from wrestlers and promoters.
Best content on the interwebs! Ty
Can't wait to see them reunite on Thursday nights reliving the wars.
back when wrestling was wrestling. saw this match back then and as a huge bret hart fan to this day, i felt so sad for him and the whole family stuff. i really thought owen would hate bret...
so glad all that awesome oldschool stuff is around, because nowadays "wrestling" is unwatchable.
It's amazing that the same Vince that booked this is the same guy who couldn't book a holiday in 2021.
A match that honestly shouldn't have been a feud ender as both men just kept trying to escape the cage rather than being anything worthy of a blood feud. Their Mania 10 match was waaaaay better.
Best Wrestlemania opener ever
100%. I was 12 when this took place and the Mania match blew me away. This cage match bored me because it made no sense. Built up all year to Bret finally cracking and wanting to fight Owen, only for them to have a stupid escape the cage match. I remember thinking how much better it would have been to see Owen submit in the cage, or to somehow beat Bret again and take the belt for a while.
When you consider how poor the WWF was in 95, I really wish they had kept pushing Owen, he could have had some classic matches with Bret, Shawn and even Diesel at the main event level, all competing for the title.
Owen hart should've won the title at SummerSlam then drop it back to him at Survivor Series, just to give him that ONE run as the World Champion. He was one of my favourite wrestlers as well , and his tragic death was a mystery of what could have been.
Rest In Paradise Owen !!
The crowd were wild for this match, made all the difference, reactions were often low-key at new gen PPVs.
Another AMAZING video man.
RIP Owen. You will always be missed
