I think the lighter botch helped the Undertakers character in the long run. It made him look like a cold hearted bastard that was going to inflict pain and enjoy it, and it gave him an edge that suited him well as he went into 1998.

[@tommyhallum2054]

If it wasn't for Bret I don't know if Austin would have had the amazing career he went on to have. In a time where most of the big time superstars in the WWF did not want to Help out a Up and Comer like Austin, Bret did. Then bret pretty much demanded to put Steve over by doing the double heel turn and having him pass out in the sharpshooter And refusing to tap which gave Austin his reputation. And then he gave Austin a clean title win over him later on so in my opinion he helped make stone cold and he did so very unselfishly.

[@dowhatiwantc7637]

Bret also helped with the rock as they wanted him to take the IC title as apparently Shawn Michaels didn’t like both of them and wanted kill two birds with one stone. Bret with IC title out of main event and wwf champ contention. Also removing the rock from any momentum he was building.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Lots of good memories watching this show and still to this day, one of my favourite In Your House show which featured an excellent first world title defense for The Undertaker against Mankind, Bret Hart Vs Steve Austin was good but their Wrestlemania match was much better but I understand it was hard to top that. Undertaker burning Paul Bearer's face would kick off the epic storyline and slow build up for the debut of Kane

[@jbellflower83]

My favorite Bret vs Austin match has always been their Survivor Series 96 match. As a pure wrestling match it was perfect. But I will concede that the WM 13 match told the better story.

[@thisisnotachannel]

Brian was thanking Sunny for her pecan pie recipe. Or, he was saying "Wait, Shawn likes it when you put your WHAT in his WHERE?"

[@catarinocastaneda4157]

Nice

[@molletre9606]

I love every Foley / Undertaker storyline. They were just meant to battle each other. Taker was the (nearly) unstoppable force, until Mankind showed up and you could feel some sense of danger for the Undertaker for the first time. Finally someone who just wont stop, who could take all the beatings and JUST WONT STOP. Who throws all the blood, the tools, the fire, the broken glass at Taker. And only stops when he is an unconscious bloody pulp with a broken tooth sticking out of his nose,. aka their HIAT match.

[@GeoGuy388]

The Taker/Mankind match here is ridiculously underrated. I think it's my favorite non HiaC encounter between the two of these guys, just beating out the Boiler Room Brawl. Just a completely wild brawl with so many great high spots and tons of physicality. The Bret/Austin match is pretty good too, but it's (somewhat rightly) overshadowed by their previous encounters. I think the matched served its purpose pretty well, though, which was to keep fans interested in their rivalry and set up Austin's ultimate vengeance in a big payoff. It's such a shame we never got that payoff.

[@VulpiusFox]

An extremely 1997 PPV. You got some really good stuff with the Hart Foundation (including cheeky Brian Pillman), Austin being a badass as usual and an important step on the long road to Kane's debut. But then you also got pre-nation Rock, Flash Funk and Rockabilly.

[@lutherheggs451]

And atleast it was before the smarks cried every single time Austin "buried" someone on his rise. Unlike now where it doesn't matter who it is, the smarks instantly start crying about "burying" people the instant they lose.

[@toptenguy1]

Come on, man! Savio beat the IC Champ on Raw by wearing him down with those DEVASTATING nerve holds! OF COURSE he will keep this same winning strategy in a title match! :)

[@mrbeefy1981ads]

Dont want to nitpick, but it's very unlikely Paul Bearer was taken to hospital. It would have been a local medical facility.

Not then, back then you didn't have those things. They are a recent, cheaper contrivance that generally give inferior care in the first place.

Another awesome upload from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet. I can remember this PPV from back in the day. Awesome show and I think the Stone Cold VS Bret Hart match gets overlooked from this PPV. It may not have been as good as their earlier matches, how could it have been, however it really added fuel to the Hart Foundation storyline.

I always wished that title belts could change hands on a DQ. Looking back on the last 30+ years of wrestling, there's been a massive amount of DQ wins. It's frustrating.

[@wensel888]

I think if I remember right wasnt Hart working thru a legit knee injury at this point that he suffered in Kuwait? Explains partly the “lower” quality of the match, even though it was still damn good. Taker and Mankind was a blast to watch. As usual great review!

Being a Rochester native, its really strange to see local pizza places advertised in a WWF video. I've been to the War Memorial a few times but I had never been before the renovations so its super cool to see how it used to look. I guess this doesn't have anything to really do with the video, I guess I'm just thankful to be seeing this.
