Bam Bam was one of the greatest big men in wrestling. He was the first time I saw a guy his size do the kinds of things he did off the ropes.

@@marcohavokkhaos Can't roll my eyes more at Hogan saying it wouldn't be believable enough for him to lose to Bret. For Bret was always one of if not the best at making wrestling look believable. And the major thing Hogan couldn't give a flying fuck about believably only him looking strong. This is the dude who thought the Dungeon of Doom was believable that he alone could take on 8 different goofy characters and come out on top. Or that fucking Brutus was a believable main event threat to him.

Bret Hart said Jerry Lawler stiffed him with the sceptre. Hart said he later on got a receipt on Lawler by really cranking on a Sharpshooter. Lawler didn't even realize he was getting a receipt and just dismissed it as "the Hart boys must work pretty stiff". Another interesting story? Bret had gotten his feelings hurt over the stuff Lawler was saying on TV about his parents. But Stu and Helen Hart later told Bret they loved Lawler's jokes and he made them feel like a part of the show. A lot of people say Bret Hart takes things a little too seriously so I guess I can believe his parents telling him "Lighten up, we ARE old!"

[@TheDarkVampire666]

It could be argued that Yoko did run Hogan out of WWE for something like 9 years

[@SheriffOutlaw]

KOTR 93 a.k.a The Bret Hart Show hands down is underrated in the KOTR canon . Regardless of Hogan being selfish and dropping the belt back to Yoko, this was one of the best WWE tournaments, and his 2nd Tourney victory was well earned

[@jonathanturbide2232]

LMAO "underrated in the KOTR canon" is such a ridiculous nonsensical statement. It's definitely not underrated, it's by far the most talked-about KOTR show/winner other than for the 1998 Hell in a cell, and Bret is always praised for that event and his big victory.

[@Pensfan5919]

JR and Heenan. We should've had them longer. Shame on 93 Vince for that choice. Edit: Something (allegedly) about Bret's matches. If Bret is to be believed, Pat Patterson challenged him to come up with all 3 finishes that don't have the Sharpshooter end the match.

​@@kyleshiflet9952You have two people with nearly unparalleled passion on commentary for pro wrestling, a natural face in JR (again, shame on 90s Vince for trying to turn him heel) and a natural heel in the Weasel.

This is one of those shows that just simply demonstrates how great bret is. And despite not winning, it is always awesome to see bam bam get opportunities like this. Also crazy seeing this era of Hogan. Like he felt out of place in 95 WCW because of how awful it all was but to me, he just sticks out like a sore thumb on this show.

[@RoyStantz]

Here are five things you forgot to mention, Zane: 1.Throughout the PPV, everyone refers to Dayton, Ohio just as "the heartland of America". 2.In a dark match, Papa Shango retained the USWA Unified World Title against Owen Hart. 3.Mr. Hughes' planned bout with The Undertaker never took place as Hughes left for ECW around SummerSlam. 4.This is the third time Jim Duggan was ever pinned on PPV; the first two times were to Ted DiBiase at WrestleMania 4 in 1988, and to Kendo Nagasaki (the one who wrestled in WCW as Dragon Master, not the World of Sport legend) at the WWF/SWS crossover event WrestleFest in 1991. 5.New Japan Pro Wrestling referee Tiger Hattori was considered to officiate the Hulk Hogan/Yokozuna match and clearly would've helped Yoko win.

[@Trill_4_Life]

I bought this KOTR on VHS at Blockbuster back in the late ‘90’s. I still have it to this day.

[@mrkipling2201]

The way that Bret was able to have 3 matches on the same PPV, which were all different in terms of movement, work and finish, and were all top quality, just showed how great he was..

Thanks for covering this Brian! I feel that Bret Hart was the star of the show with his KOTR performance. Three matches, great selling with different endings. Hulk Hogan gonna Hogan with the fireball, but thanks to Bret's performance, my wrestling fandom was cemented that night. I also have a Hitman KOTR figure from Wrestling Collectables because it symbolizes my lifelong fandom of professional wrestling.

[@JennaLeigh]

I'm a lifelong, die hard Hitman fanatic and have always loved this PPV because it's such a showcase of how extraordinary Bret really was. Yes, HBK and Diesel got over, but imo, Bret really carried the weight of the company on his shoulders from late 1992 until the company started gaining steam in 1996-97..... With Bret vs. Austin being a major contributor to that momentum. Best there is, best there was, best there ever will be. 🩷🖤🩷🖤

[@jroberts2nd]

One of my favorite bits in this period was Mr. Fuji’s promos about Hulk Hogan beating Yokozuna at Wrestlemania, because every time he cut the promo, the match with Bret got longer, eventually topping out at “a hard fought 30 minute match!” Such a subtle heel bit. This is one of my favorite shows of the early 90s, Bret Hart worked his ass off.

[@chrispodesta8105]

I liked the 96 KOTR format where they did the first rounds on TV before the PPV. Good way to stretch it out a bit, and it created opportunities for guess who had been eliminated early to get on commentary or interfere later on. Owen Hart on commentary complaining about Marc Mero holding his trunks a week after the match, golden.

[@ChristaCrow]

1993 is one of my two big years for wrestling. Not the best year by a long shot but full of some awesome memories of really falling for Bret Hart as my favourite wrestler and resenting Hogan.

[@user-ww7dx5iv9g]

Bret actually won consecutive King of the Rings. 1992 was the only year between 1985 and 2002 where there wasn't a tournament. So Bret's 1991 and 1993 wins means he did it in a row.

[@hakeemfullerton8645]

Bonus Trivia: Jerry Lawler apparently hurt Bret Hart really bad during that beat down and this would eventually lead to Hart getting his revenge on Lawler when they face off at Summerslam

[@toptenguy1]

Yeah, that throne on the lower back looked INSANE!

[@dantegood2195]

Lawler actually hurt Bret in the summerslam match when he stiffed him hard with a crutch shot, which caused bret to immediately administer receipts with shoot punches outside of the ring.

[@jesterr7133]

WM9 was my first Wrestlemania as a wrestling fan. I was a huge Bret Hart fan and liked Yokozuna too, but I loved it when Hulk swooped in. It was a cool moment at the time, and totally unexpected by 12 year old me. I look differently on it now, but I loved it at the time.

[@seankkg]

I went to college right next to the Nutter Center, its always surreal to hear part of your life in someone else's. Every now and again i would see the WWE trucks with a big John Cena parked in the back when I'd drive around it to leave. My graduation was held there. I'd also go there as a child for different events, like a live Power Rangers show. Fascinating that a piece of history like this happened in a place so familiar to me.

Bret vs Perfect blew me away because I remember seeing the evolution of their matches over the years. I first saw them wrestle each other at a house show in 89 and it was awesome! Then of course the Summerslam match in 91 and then this which was the best match between them I think exists. The fact they never settled on a formula but kept improving their matches is a testament to both men.

[@pushon10]

As a kid I didn’t understand why the championship match wasn’t last. But just as you said the program was all Bret. Really pushed him and in a way it was HIS ppv. With context there was so much to come after this and things were starting to change. I didn’t like some of the outfits, like you said it was like changing of the old guard in a way, some dudes still looking goofy. I remember loving Bam Bam and finding him so intimidating. I wasn’t really a Hulk fan, in my house, my dad was always fan of the heels so I always followed him. So Yokozuna winning the title we were really hyped about that. As a kid I didn’t know who Jerry Lawler was so I really thought he was an actually king and was upset that now Bret was a king of the ring 😅. Idk maybe I’m a bit old school or like my wrestling different. I feel like nowadays it’s a lot more fast paced and alot of the moves being used have me desensitized. Just my thoughts. I appreciate going back and watching the old stuff. Good work. A fan always.

While I'm sure it was totally coincidental, it was kind of fitting that the Nutter Center would be the arena where Bret finally made his return to WWE in 2012, 19 years after his iconic KOTR performance in 1993. Instead of a place that would remind him of sad memories, Bret instead got to make his return in an arena that held fond memories... even if both times the shows in the Nutter Center ended with Bret getting made a fool of by someone (Lawler in 1993, Vince in 2012).

Such an impressive performance from Bret. Usually (at least in North American wrestling) when a wrestler is in some sort of one-night tournament and has to wrestle 3 (or more) matches, at least one of those matches will be intentionally booked to be shorter. But Bret's like, nah f- that, I'm going to wrestle 3 matches that range from very good to outstanding.

I actually liked Hogan/Yoko. I loved the "Pro wrestling psychology" of Hogan "using his Hulk up energy" to kick out of one of Yokozuna's secondary moves. So that made it feel like he was in BIG trouble. lol

That’s honestly a high point of the match for me. It sells Yokozuna as a monster by forcing Hulk to “Hulk Up” after something that wasn’t the Banzai.

Good Commentary. Perfect was such a great wrestler and usually had good matches.

Hogan looks like one of the Bushwhackers at 11:05 😂😂😂

I loved Kona Crush as a kid! He was my favourite to play on WWF Royal Rumble on the SNES back in the day.
