WCW World Championship - Bret Hart

November 21, 1999 - December 20, 1999

After Sting was stripped of the WCW World Championship in October 1999, a tournament was implemented to determine the new champion. Live in Toronto, in front of an excited Canadian crowd, Bret Hart met Chris Benoit in the tournament finals at WCW Mayhem. Hart and Benoit had already defeated Sting and Jeff Jarrett, respectively, in semi-final contests, thus the two technicians collided for the gold. Ultimately, Hart would emerge the victor of a highly competitive contest, forcing Benoit to submit to the Sharpshooter.
