WWF In Your House 5 - The "Reliving The War" PPV Review

[@quietdignityandgrace]

Four chin locks?!?! 4?!?! How ever did Bret survive? My gawd my gawd he's broken in half

[@Thor-Orion]

That man has a family!

[@travismiller4320]

It only took going back to a WWF show to see the return of a true DAVY BOY SMITH CHINLOCK! Man I’ve missed those.

[@frootloop4149]

i honestly popped for the long sigh because i knew what was coming next.

[@AJArreguin]

Same bro lol

[@rugalthreesixteen6812]

I prefer this Bret vs Bulldog match over the Summerslam 92 match, this was a rare gem in a muddy year and one of Brett's best matches.

[@catchcan221]

Absolutely, it’s a much better match although both were good.

[@Maniac_Matt]

100 percent. I've always said that they should have put the belt on Davey here. Great bloody match..

[@luckywallace]

Both matches were brilliant. From pure bell-to-bell in ring action this one might be better but the atmosphere of SummerSlam is incredible... and I also prefer Bulldog's look from then with the long braids.

[@mattb6369]

@@Maniac_Matt Davey would've been a cool choice for a quick transitional champion but honestly no further than that. Too many demons, he didn't really perform well with more limited guys like his title match two months earlier with Diesel.

[@martynodonnell]

Both matches are superb. This one gets overlooked. However I also prefer it. One thing about this era is how high the match quality was. Compared to what came before and even after it.

[@BrandonJXN2]

That mid point between the New Generation and Attitude Era (mid 1995-early 1997) was such a unique time. A true blend of eras.

[@JimmyJam266]

I've watched the Hart/Bulldog match numerous times and it is a masterpiece that rarely gets talked about. It was a beautiful war. Definitely in my top 5 Bret Hart matches.

[@DumpsterMMA13]

It truly was great. This is the first time I heard about the match but wow did it impress. It seems Bret could truly get the most out of Bulldog.

[@Pensfan5919]

As Jim Cornette once said about Davey, "If he was on, he was a top worker in the world. Issue is, he wasn't totally on most of the time when it came to interest. Bret and Owen brought it out of him, though."

2 things I always gotta appreciate about your videos, besides what the video is about, is the music choices. Love the mixing in the beginning of your videos, and I love how you throw in classic wrestling game themes in there as well. The music in your videos is always a nostalgia trip, everything from No Mercy to Here Comes The Pain.

21:49 Bret takes some of the weight and slows himself down with the top rope as well, definitely supposed to be a catch.

[@Thor-Orion]

Bret could’ve helped get Jim over in this match if he had gotten the colour from a tennis racket shot. Because that will cut you right open in reality and Jim always has the racket, it would’ve been perfect and help establish Bret really overcoming the odds.

A forgotten Bret gem. Davey was great too with the addition of Jim Cornette. It was rare when Bret bladed (except in his Stampede days), but when he did, it made the match.

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

It’s not a Davey Boy Smith main event without a Davey Boy Smith chinlock.

[@iDeathMaximuMII]

It seems back in the early reliving the War days that Davey did WAY more chinlocks....maybe by the end he decided that they were too powerful & limited them to 1 or 2 times a match. But even then would Davey hold back sometimes from using it at all. What a mad bastard he was. Master of Chinlocks. Also the "He headbutts Bret right in the asshole" nearly killed me. Was drinking water & I choked for a solid 20 seconds

[@jasbas459]

Please make a full length video on the Brett/Bulldog match! Definitely a hidden gem!

[@hitomisalazar4073]

It's so weird for me looking back on this era. On one hand you have gimmicks like "Wrestling hillbillies hitting people with pig slop" in this cartoonish sense... and then you have Bret and Davey Boy Smith just absolutely destroying each other in a competitive, physical match that ends on a bit of a technical roll up instead of the finishes I'd be more used to after the Attitude Era faded of the "Double down then someone hulks up for a finisher and pinfall". Just a truly unique blend of things in that transitional era.

[@resmith29]

Corney's reaction shots are priceless!!!!

[@wildberryjamultracosmic]

that was a serious chinlock indeed. those massive biceps could seriously take the wind out of any opponent. and actually a lot of bret's hidden gems are from in your house events - he should have another full triple dvd set of matches without using wrestlemania, survivor series or summerslams

What's crazy to me is that a $70 game back then is WAY more expensive than a $70 game today, and $70 back then for a game wasn't extremely uncommon. This is why I can't take people seriously when they complain about game prices today. They just don't understand. People back in the 90s were paying the today equivalent of like $100 for most games.
