It's Damn Real!
The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
I just watched this classic bout for the IC title again last night, and I'm honestly convinced that I've never seen a better worked match between two men, who at the time, were the absolute best wrestlers in the business at the time.
Everything about this match, including the build up with the pre-match promo-for-promo exchange to the yanked-by-the-hair ring tossing to Hart tearing Hennig's singlet when Curt started to walk away from the match just built the psychology in the match up to a total crescendo, with Hart obviously winning the match to become the new IC champion in an iconic moment in wrestling history.
Go back and watch it again. Really watch. Tell me I'm wrong here (believe me, I'd love to be). Tell me this isn't at the very least one of the best worked matches of all-time...
I miss talent like this. I really do. It really angers me watching incredible bouts like this, only to turn on the TV and have to see what passes for performance these days.
