On the July 11, 1994 episode of WWE Raw, Bret Hart defended his WWE Championship against Sean Waltman (1-2-3 Kid, X-Pac).
The bout was a rare WWE Championship match on WWE Raw, and Waltman calls it the best of his career.
"[Bret] wanted me to do all my stuff. I even did some stuff to him that I usually don’t do. I jackknife (powerbombed) him. I have to admit this, and Bret even told me, I lit him up like three separate times in this match that were some of the hardest potatoes he had ever received in his entire career. That spin kick might have been one of them. The dropkick in the corner was one. The leg drop. He said I crunched him on the leg drop off the top. Maybe a little bit [laughs]. Could have been worse. He was very gracious about it, though. It was all the detail stuff, putting as much into things that other people might think are smaller things, like a forearm or an elbow to the back of the head. There was as much effort and intensity put into those things as any of the bigger things. That’s incredibly important and something I learned from Bret. I wasn’t so much thinking about that I was having a WWE Championship match, but that I was having a match with Bret Hart. He was so giving in that match. It’s the greatest match of my career," said Waltman while speaking on a Raw Retrospective video.
Waltman had many memorable moments on Raw, including invading WCW as a member of D-Generation X.
