The WWE Hall of Fame to induct the Bret Hart VS Steve Austin match from Wrestlemania 13.

Following their TKO brethren, the UFC Hall Of Fame, the WWE Hall of Fame has announced the first ever match to be inducted to into their institution. 

From Wrestlemania 13, the Submission Match between Bret “Hit Man” Hart and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will become the first match deemed worthy by the WWE Hall to be inducted.

Refereed by the debuting Ken Shamrock, Austin and Hart had been feuding since the 1996 Survivor Series, with Austin costing Hart the Royal Rumble and later the WWF World Heavyweight Championship when he interfered in the Hit Man’s Steel Cage Title defense against Psycho Sid.  At Wrestlemania 13, Hart defeated Austin when he passed out from Hart’s sharpshooter, and refused to quit.  Following the match, the victorious Hart continued to attack his bloodied opponent, until he was pulled off by Shamrock.  The end result was the most successful double-turn in pro wrestling history, and vaulted Austin to permanent main event status.

This match will join Triple H, Lex Luger, The Natural Disasters (Earthquake & Typhoon) and Michelle McCool for the Class of 2025.
