Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart for the WWF Championship, from WWF Survivor Series 1997 (aka The Montreal Screwjob)

The finish of this match is not art, and it feels weird to talk about it as though it IS art. It's funny, then, that the rest of this match is pretty good art, head and shoulders above their overrated previous encounters and serving as a reminder of just how good these two were in their prime. The conveyed chaos here is so juicy that I think it would have been a dark horse candidate for the best match of 1997 had it gone to the agreed-upon finish of a double disqualification, so, um, points off for the bad finish.
