Retro Ups & Downs: WWE In Your House: Canadian Stampede

[@JK-qx4xf]

WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE… 92 royal rumble for retro ups and downs.

[@Hawkeye26]

I was going to make a suggestion, for the first time in a month, but am putting all my eggs in your basket...this would be a great one to have covered!

[@ericchilders9234]

Simon? This matches reliving the war on wrestling bios perfectly. If your into late 90s wrestling check it out

[@diluted8]

That person does good work too!

[@therealhatchet]

Yeah that And wrestling with Wregret lol

[@ayefrankiebarr]

this is the first thing i thought when i saw this video

[@Kpr316]

Yeah

[@justinb690]

YES!! Much love to the fella behind those videos

[@canuckj8382]

Bret said in his book that when the Hart family was in the ring some kid who was not part of the hart family joined in and bret noticed him but told him to enjoy it, smart kid

[@travismiller4320]

I was trying to remember where I heard that story. Thanks for reminding me.

[@jeremyl2594]

As a Canadian, this is one of The Best shows EVER!!! I cry at the end...

[@robbiemillar704]

Glad you enjoyed it Simon.. I was there and we had a blast.. Calgary is like wrestling City and the Hart family our Hometown Heroes.

[@PhantomDemonEric]

I was there too, what an amazing night

[@fattiger6957]

That Mankind/HHH match gave me an idea for a thing like that, but it goes on the whole show. Just every so often the two guys get caught on camera fighting, interrupting backstage segments, interviews, promos. By the end of the show they are so worn out, they can barely stand and are just leaning on each other and slap each other with floppy arms.

[@danbauer3669]

Super cool, man! I was at this event From our seats we could actually see HHH and Mankind in the gorilla position discussing the match before entering. A literal peek behind the curtain.

[@thecourier7759]

I'd say I could see you

[@HarmlessChildren]

Wrestlemania VI! Hogan vs Warrior. Up those downs!

[@dj198228]

Doesn't feel like 25 years since this show. Such a shame that Bret is the only member of the Hart Foundation still alive today

[@TinkSalsa]

So strange thinking Natalya is the only one still wrestling, considering TJ is most likely never going to wrestle again (i know TJ isn't actually hart family, but he was trained by them).

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Oh Crap. That's not a fun thing to realize. 😄👍

[@ColbyP16]

No way Whatculture and Wrestling Bios are in sync like this 😂

[@vipset87]

this was my very first pirated wwf ppv. back then, you could be the coolest kid in elementary school if u kno wht happend at the wrestling ppv the night prior

[@974061]

Hi Simon. I was there in 97. Here are more points to consider about this event. This was in the Calgary stampede fairgrounds on the mountain time zone. I think it started at 5:30 pm. The crowd was pretty loose from the slew of booze being served on the grounds. The saddledome was a concrete foundation unlike modern ones that are steel framed. During the entrance and finish, the dome was vibrating. It was like taking your favorite sport and hosting a championship match in your home town. Then manipulating the match results to make the home fans the happiest. And placing the arena in a Mardi gras/carnival environment where everyone had 6 hours of prepping before the show. An hour after the show, Owen was in line with me for those Chocolate and peanut ice cream sticks.

[@4033mitchell]

I was there and the sound was epic!

[@thejoojooman6538]

My favourite WWF PPV of all time. Absolutely perfect!

[@TheLandofObscusion]

What accidentally synergistic timing for this video to come out! Coincidentally enough, Wrestling Bios' Reliving the War video series is exactly at this point in the timeline, but since Bios had already covered Canadian Stampede prior to RtW, he had no need to upload a PPV review this Sunday, like he usually would if one happened between RtW episodes. So props Simon Miller & WhatCulture for accidentally assisting Wrestling Bios out by uploading their own Canadian Stampede review on the exact day Bios would have done so, had he already not made a video about it before.

[@TinkSalsa]

I've never heard of that channel. Are their reviews done like Simon's but for old episodes or something?

[@Bryan2582]

@@TinkSalsa Reliving the War look it up on here! He covers the Monday night Wars and its awesome and the dude who does the videos is hysterical and knows his wrestling!

this was for sure vince's magnum opus

[@oliverpearman7558]

Second only to WrestleMania X-Seven for me, with Backlash 2000 in third place

[@7067shawnnichol]

I was there as a kid, this was my first WWE/WWF and will be something I will always remember. The Hart family was always a big part of my life, I had them as teachers, We wrestled in the rings after Stampede wrestling shows which made this show even more special.

[@DXnationmember]

WCW Fall Brawl War Games from 95 was actually pretty good. That first match was incredible in my opinion.

[@pokesprout7469]

Man I just went to check out the match. And it's so so loud it's insane. Us Canadians love us some fellow Canadians. I remember watching it with my dad. Seems so much more crazy watching it again.

[@muneebahmad4378]

Well that's a nice for father son relationship

[@Segwo]

I am a Canadian from Alberta, and I never cared for Bret. HBK was always my guy.

[@pokesprout7469]

@@Segwo lol yea I from.Ottawa and I like HBK better too. But you can't lie that reaction is crazy. And If I was there I would have joined in too.

[@zacharythomason7359]

Why is that🤔

[@RNCV-uf7wu]

Such a juxtaposition to nowadays, the crowd is dead half of the time - 90s was the best decade of WWF, the characters, the matches, the crowd. I always try and spot Natalya in the post match celebration as I believe she is there

[@Scavard59]

My dad surprised me with tickets to the show when I was a kid. It’s incredible how The Canadian Stampede has aged like a fine wine. A moment I will cherish forever! Thanks for this Simon!

[@SirZapdos]

I seem to remember that a fan had a sign that said "This is workrate" during the Taka vs Sesuke match. I thought that was pretty funny.

[@joshjohnson3442]

This is the closest WWF/E came to being to something AEW would do, not that every match was wrestling brilliance, but it gave us that “something for everyone” you had big hoss brawls, cruiserweight flyers, fun main event and let’s not forget Triple H and Mick Foley always made magic in the ring!

[@tythegolfer6279]

Wrestling Bios thanks you. Seems like a goodbye party for Bret when you we watch now. Cheers Simon.

[@eiephants]

I'm so pissed my parents never took me to wrestling shows in Calgary when this was happening. 😭

[@Aragon23-p2k]

[@dirk8449]

I remember listening to many ppvs on the scrambled ppv channel. This was one of them. You couldn't see it, but you could hear it. And JR and king made everything that happened sound like the biggest deal ever. Wrestling was amazing at this time with both companies.

[@johncroch932]

I was there, it was crazier and louder you couldn’t imagine. When Bret came out I could not hear any of his entrance theme

[@calvinkevick9152]

I got to be one of those fans in the stands. The energy was pretty good in the crowd. I was kind of surprised that it was not as full of people as I thought it would be. It was a lot of fun for sure.

[@canuckj8382]

I agree with Simon, 12,000 people? The dome sits more for hockey and you can fit more people in for wrestling

[@danbauer3669]

The stage takes up a whole side. So, you can sit 21 000 for a hockey game but you can't for a concert. Yeah, there's floor seating, but not as much as you would think. Also, they didn't sell any tickets in the 300 level.

[@jeffkearney3932]

[@elizabethallen813]

You should do No Way Out 2009. That's the one where Edge lost the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match and his title on the same night that he entered the RAW Elimination Chamber match later on. It's so good and I know you'd get a kick out of watching him insert himself into the match because you like it when wrestlers break the rules in ways that wouldn't fly in any other sport

[@johnpittsii7524]

Great review 👏

[@jeffdeming8811]

Daaamnn we need more warm n fuzzy tum tum ups, and a screen icon for that hahaha

[@oliverpearman7558]

Whilst I would never wish injury on any wrestler, the planned WWF title match for this show was Undertaker v Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed got injured the week after that was announced so Vader was a late replacement - and it ended up being probably his best WWF match, and maybe even ‘Taker’s best one u to this point

[@stephenoffredi6273]

Your welcome. I was one of the people in attendance. What until aew comes to Calgary and the crowd chants for Owen.

[@christopherhuggins435]

As a native Calgarian, I can verify that we do have some of the most passionate wrestling fans. I was only 11 years old when this PPV took place, I wasn't at the Saddledome that night but I remember reading about it in the Calgary Sun newspaper the following day; also my dad was working at the hotel some of the wrestlers were staying at. He got into an elevator with the Undertaker and was just astonished by how tall he was lol; He also meet Ken Shamrock. Simon, this Retro ups and downs doesn't just get an up, it gets a golden up from me. 👆

Because then amazing shows like this might not get picked? I honestly didn’t know they stopped (possibly because they’ve done so many now putting the responsibility on the viewer to know every single one might get annoying). Either way, I saw this show pop up all the time before when they were holding the polls yet it never won the final poll. Which was a shame because this was so good. So yah, don’t really care either way myself, just glad he finally got around to doing this one.
