WWE Honoring Bret Hart-Steve Austin Match At Hall Of Fame

For the first time ever, WWE will be honoring a match at the Hall of Fame this year: Bret Hart defeating Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13. It is being called an “Immortal Moment” that WWE will pay tribute to at the 2025 Hall of Fame ceremony on April 18th in Las Vegas.

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin shared his candid thoughts about WWE choosing to induct the Hart-Austin match this year:

“It was a hell of a match and we knew it at the time, I think it was good that it was in Chicago because Chicago is kind of a stronghold for me but it would’ve worked anywhere with the fact that it happened with Bret The Hitman Hart.

There’s a couple behind-the-scenes stories that I don’t want to talk about but it was a hell of a match and it’s cool for people to still remember it damn near 30 years later.

Yeah, it means something to me because if it wasn’t for the fans, I wouldn’t be sitting here. So, the fact that match is relevant and it’s going into 2025 Hall Of Fame for matches and it’s the first match to be inducted, cool.”

Many of the matches listed above will likely be inducted as Immortal Moments in the future, especially the Undertaker-Michaels classic, but for this year, it’s Hart and Austin getting the accolades.
