WWF In Your House 5 (retroactively named In Your House 5: “Seasons Beatings”) took place on December 17th 1995 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The holiday themed Pay Per View was headlined by the long awaited PPV rematch between Bret Hart and The British Bulldog. This time, however, Bret would defend the WWF championship against his brother-in-law and not the Intercontinental Championship (like SummerSlam 1992). Bret wrote in his book that he had no real plan for how this match would play out until the day of the show, but it ended up turning into a hidden gem. Davey Boy Smith vs Bret Hart is one of the WWF’s best PPV main events of 1995, and it was also featured on an event that got a very low buy-rate.
Elsewhere on the show Savio Vega has a meeting with Santa (Xanta) Clause, Triple H battles Henry Godwinn in a Hog Pen match, Razor Ramon teams up with Marty Janetty to wrestle Sycho Sid and the 1-2-3 Ki, and Big Daddy Cool Diesel takes on Owen Hart.
This PPV review is part of the Reliving The War series.

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@thisisnotachannel]

This Bret/Bulldog match was the first time my old man ever saw blood in a wrestling match... and a bunch of it! 10/10 classic match! RIP ol' man.

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.

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.

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

[@Norma-uc8dy]

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.
