+Brian Heriot Correct. It's easy to see why WWF was taking all these wild chances on their shows at this time. WCW was literally NITRO. Explosive. How they ruined a golden opportunity with Bret Hart & Sting will always baffle me. Both have similar finishing moves. Both were tried & true emblems of their organizations only to be screwed by them. Bret & Sting should have been a team fighting the nWo. But those backstage politics. WWF saw that Starrcade weakness & knew it was time to strike. Enter Mike Tyson.

100% possibly even extending that from June '97 thru Starrcade '97. That Rodman stuff in '97 was so huge in the moment. And then heat the Luger was bringing with that WCW crowd. It's a shame the booking with Luger sort of took a nose dive after Road Wild, Bios is right. Almost could've made more sense in having a Hogan/Luger age in the cage instead of bringing back Piper as the commish.

Looking back on this in hindsight, I'm starting to see why the WWF wanted to make an industry-breaking event at Survivor Series 1997. WCW was really on fire at this time, chaotic insanity or no chaotic insanity. The chaos was part of the fun for WCW actually. They had some great mid-carders, powerfully emotional feuds, & the tension of the nWo vs. Sting always delivered. So Vince knew with Bret "The Hitman" Hart's contract soon ending, he needed that big boost to get them the eyeballs on their product. WWF had improved tremendously month after month particularly since Survivor Series 1996 & now had a seriously compelling show. But they needed that final touch to shift the axis. THAT is why they decided to do the Montreal Screwjob against Bret. The energy from that led them to the impact of Mike Tyson & Stone Cold Steve Austin a couple of months later in January 1998. And after that, WCW was on its backfoot & the competition entered a new phase. I see it all clearly now in hindsight.

Thanks for another great video. You do an excellent job of being succinct on build up to these matches. As someone who never watched much wrestling after goofy gimmicks of Next Generation of WWF and Dungeon of Doom in WcW I know exactly what is happening and why in every video! To avoid copyright, slow down the action scenes or speed them up by a bit. The algorithm seems to not be able to catch them as easily that way. I think I speak for everyone when I say if you need more stills and less video to avoid the hassle, we will support that. Gedo didn't hit Jericho at all, which is amazing & shows how he knew right away that Jericho botched it. If you slow it down from the pull Gedo went from "ok, suplex , NO, he messed up another move, he is falling on his head, I have to fall to the side" in a half a second. Glad it was a seasoned vet in the ring or it could have ended horribly for Chris.

To further your note about how wrestling had become “mainstream” at this point (again), I’d point out that I believe it was around here when one prominent (American) football player scored a touchdown, and his celebration dance was literally DDP’s Diamond Cutter. So we’re talking prime-time, Monday-night football, the NFL, major stuff in the US, and those athletes were pledging their allegiance. Which, naturally, would be picked up by the ESPNs and similar channels and talked about all week. So wrestling was becoming HUGE at this point.

Days Left Until Bret Hart Leaves The WWF: 14 (Literally Only 2 Weeks Left) Over in WWF Land, two days prior to Halloween Havoc saw Vince McMahon offer to let Bret Hart stay with the company & to honor the 20-year contract, likely in an attempt to convince Bret to do the job to Shawn at Survivor Series. Bret responds by saying that he'll give Vince his decision by November 1, as while he's obviously unsure as to how exactly WCW would book him, he was told by Vince that the plans for him staying with the WWF involve him losing to Shawn time after time until possibly WrestleMania XIV, when he'd finally get his win back. Meanwhile... HOW IN THE HELL DID RANDY SAVAGE STAND BACK UP AFTER THAT HIGH SPOT IN THE CAGE?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

+George Horvath So much intrigue at this time. And one single move one way or another could alter the course of history. What if Bret stayed? What would happen to Stone Cold's red hot run? Would WCW have stayed on its hot path? With Bret, Shawn, & Stone Cold ruling the main event could The Rock ever get a look inside? What about HHH? So much to wonder about. How did Randy Savage stand back up? It's in his last name. He's a SAVAGE!

@@UnforgivenRonin It's the leg equivalent of Brock Lesnar landing on his neck at Mania XIX. Savage only wound up surviving it because he was so beefy & strong, I guess.

@@Obscusion2 its crazy, because hogan was suppose to move close and catch him, but hogan being hogan, its just a miracle that savage knew what to do, and didn't get badly injured
