[@sese6227]

Oh, absolutely. Their feud was one of the best....they legit looked like they were trying to kill each other.

[@johnisanon]

Bret especially was so good. Just watched hitman vs 123 kid from the first raw. Snug as they say.

[@jeyDsixx18]

I completely agree, and it’s funny u say that cuz individually, Bret and Austin threw very weird looking punches that were very similar to each other, however combined, it was just a tornado of fists flying and it made for an awesome brawling spot

[@Venemofthe888]

Id say this was probably the last good moment for the Harts for a long time. The Montreal Screwjob would happen later in the year, death of Owen around 2 years later, Bulldog and Stu Hart dying in the 2000s and Bret retiring and having multiple health issues including a stroke.

[@sundance81677]

Keep going. It didn’t stop there.

[@press_x_tojason]

Really, Bret’s win in the WCW world title tournament in 1999 is about the only properly good moment they had for many years. And of course, Bret’s promo to start the next night’s Nitro was 90% about how rough the last couple years had been… only to end by setting up that Goldberg match at Starrcade.

[@flintose927]

That pop had to be one of the biggest ever in the business once Bret came out and all 5 was on the ramp.

[@nucks4life11]

I was there bro. It was absolutely deafening. Was so loud. The floor is metal grating. Everyone was stomping. It was one of the best days of my life.

[@Cableguy15]

This video is just a reminder of how bright Brian Pillman's future was looking at the time. His loose cannon gimmick was so good, it just didn't quite fit the era yet. I have no doubt he would have been one of the top guys of the Attitude era.

[@kalelbalboa283]

Gimmick was great but Pillman was a shell of his former self. Unfortunately he was ravaged by injuries. He was never the same after his accident. I don’t think he would’ve been able to work much during the attitude era as he was very limited here. Maybe as a manager or something?

[@mockery_finn]

Watching this for the RTW series

[@hothotheat3000]

Canadian fans are awesome. So passionate about wrestling, and they ALWAYS cheer their fellow Canadians, heel or face. Watching heels like Edge and Kevin Owens fight back tears as their country roars for them is a genuinely touching experience.

I was at that event. The crowd was BANANAS. Words can not describe. Most wrestlers go their entire careers hoping they get as a big a pop as even frigging Jim Neidhart got that night, let alone the crowd's response to Bret Hart. Goosebumps every time I watch that match.

[@alanguages]

I was there at that event also. Bret and the Hart Foundation were faces worldwide, it was just the United States, he was considered a heel. That was why fans outside the USA saw how Vince and co. said, Bret was the one in the wrong it made no sense. Bret was telling the truth. After the In Your House event, in the parking lot, my brother and I, among others heard yelling. Someone yelled very loud "GET LOST YOU F'N C**T!" My brother used his binoculars and it was Hawk, there was about eight fans. They all wore Austin 3: 16 shirts. They had intentionally blocked the vehicle the Road Warriors were in, to prevent them from leaving the premises. It looked like Hawk was going to step out, but after that yell others went over there and the Austin fans left. People can be such jerks towards the performers.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

The main event may have been the most fun Steve Austin has had in a PPV match. He so obviously relishes in getting to be the nasty heel (again). He was having the time of his life. Only thing I didn't like in the main event was the Owen Hart comeback, where he 'saves' Bret Hart. There are three team mates on the apron that just stand around.

[@jmendoza2003]

Such a great time to be a Bret hart fan. Bret hart and Stone Cold made USA vs Canada felt real. When Austin came to Canada they boo him and cheer him in America. When Bret hart comes to America and gets booed and when he returns to Canada he is loved and cheered. It's the like America fans liked being heels and Canadians loved being face. Great times during the pre Attitude era.

WWE doesn't go to Canada often enough. The PPV crowds always deliver (like Wrestlemania 6, 18) and they just get ignored.
