Bret Hart vs Jean-Pierre Lafitte - WWF RAW 10/2/95

The rematch of the moderately famous IYH match which I recall liking and thinking it one of the few examples of a Bret Hart spot fest. I thought this was in a similar vein. Pierre have very little going for him in between his high spots. Lots of clubbering and chinlocks but his high spots are good. Pierre wins the early clubbering battle but takes the Slaughter bump on missed charge. His bumping is also great. Bret SLAMS him hard in the stairs catching more edge than flat. OW! Pierre hotshots him. This match sounds better in review form because I am just hitting the high spots. Pierre jumps on Bret in various ways, Pierre cuts Bret effectively. You think a missed a Top Rope Legdrop would be the transition to heat but Pierre keeps cutting him off. Gnarly whip into the steps and Bret is clearly pissed. Bret revs up and goes through his usual moves. Pierre rallies with a somersault slam. He goes up top for Cannonball but a super plex into a Sharpshooter polishes him off. Great finish. Fun match. High spots land. Bret gets into with Lawler but Yankem attacks to set up Bret vs Yankem in a steel cage blowoff which I think I will skip. 1995 weird year for Bret but this was a good RAW match. *** 1/4
