In Your House "It's Time" was the final WWF pay per view of 1996. In a continuation of the "Reliving The War" Wrestling Bios series, this video takes an in-depth look at the entire Pay Per View.
The main event featured a WWF Championship match between challenger Bret "Hitman" Hart and champion Sycho Sid. Bret got himself this title shot after defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin at Survivor Series 1996 and Bret was aiming to become champion again after losing the belt at WrestleMania XII. At In Your House, Shawn Michaels is scheduled to sit at ringside during the main event, and Bret gets concered that Shawn could possibly cost him the gold.
Elsewhere on the card, Flash Funk (2 Cold Scorpio) goes head to head with Leif Cassidy, the "fake" Diesel and Razor Ramon do battle with Owen Hart and The British Bulldog and Hunter Hearst Helmlsey defends the IC title against Marc Mero. This video also takes a look at interviews with Shawn, Bret and Sid that happened on WWF Superstars on the morning of In Your House, and the free-for-all Rocky Maivia vs Salvatore Sincere match is also covered.

If you keep this up until Vince buys WCW, this will still be going in 2025. That's fine by me.

Flash Funk a.k.a Too Cold Scorpio = One of the Most Underrated Wrestlers/Preformers of All Time!

[@Thor-Orion]

Luckily he has a good run in Japan after he leaves the fed. WWF really didn’t understand that changing dudes names did nothing but hurt their recognition.

[@glamgal7106]

I agree with you on that...also so was Leif Cassidy a.k.a. Al Snow. Also his teaming with Marty Jannetty as the New Rockers was promoted so poorly--they were definitely more skilled in the ring but the geek image was totally wrong for them.

[@musc1esman]

He is still wrestling. Just saw him in Minnesota two months ago. Kurt Angle, Tatanka and King Lawler were there as well.

Funny how this PPV was called “It’s Time” and Vader didn’t appear on the show. I thought WWE named this show after one of his catchphrases.

[@therealDJG]

Vader was supposed to of won the title at Survivor Series. Which is why the PPV is named after his catchphrase. Guess it was too late to change the name.

Question for the Nation of Domination: “Who thought Crush was a good fit for the group? And how quickly were they fired?”

[@Brhoward31]

lmao I always wondered that. When I was younger, I thought he might have been Puerto Rican lmao

I think it was just because Crush was already managed by Clarence Mason.

Hell yeah getting in on the ground floor on this video. I think you should give these videos their own subtitles like "Reliving The War: Major Battles" or something on those lines. Keep up the great content as always.
