As someone who can barely sit through a 2 hour movie (most could be cut down to 80-90 minutes if we cut out the chaff), even considering watching a 60-minute match exhausts me. And spending a quarter of that time in rest holds? If 1/4 of your match needs to be spent resting; that’s a clear sign that the match is too long. Though I will give them kudos for being able to exert themselves like that for 45 minutes. And one thing I noticed here, that I don’t think was highlighted during the “War” recaps, was how masterfully Cornette’s team was put together. You had Vader as the tank, Hart as the high-flyer, like everyone had a distinct role. Good stuff. And a big shout-out to the channel, as this review was also masterfully constructed. All the stills really hit and the footage worked great too.

For me Bret v HBK was a 5 star classic. One of my personal Top 10 matches of all time. I do wonder though, if it would have been more well liked if the ''Iron Man'' stipulation wasn't involved. Instead they just had an hour long singles match which showed how even their skills were. I think the Iron Man aspect had people expecting an action packed match with multiple falls.

Most of the people who complain about it didn’t see it live, as fans of either the hitman or shawn.

The finish of the Iron Man match is why as a fan I always stayed firmly on Bret's side through all of his "comeback" run when everyone else was turning on him - in-storyline, his character was 100% right. Other than Piper's vague proclamation of "There must be a winner" in a promo a couple weeks earlier, there had never been any mention of a "sudden death" overtime period, and traditionally any time limit draw automatically defers to the Champion. The psychology of Bret only "losing" because of having to go back in and wrestle more after he'd already "won" the match, and that having made him impatient and careless, was all great storytelling but it made Michaels an "illegitimate" Champion in my eyes. As a mark, it just felt like a decision had been made that "Michaels leaves with the belt no matter what" and that Bret was merely a sacrifice to that end, and as a kid it really rubbed me wrong.
