... View MoreI was at this Wrestlemania live in Chicago. As most wrestling fans know this was set to be the long awaited rematch between Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels from the previous years Wrestlemania. Shawn pulled out of the match some time earlier claiming a "career ending" knee injury. This may have been some kind of "blessing in disguise" as in it's place we had Steve Austin taking the place of Michaels,and one of the greatest matches in Wrestlemania history (if not THE greatest)ensued in a Austin/Hart submission match,with UFC veteran Ken Shamrock as special guest referee.What was most interesting about this match was the infamous "double turn" of both participants. Hart was the baby face,or good guy heading into this bout,with Austin as heel,or bad guy. By the end of this match the roles had been reversed which is something not easily done over the course of one match.While Austin's popularity was on the rise prior to this match,it was this night that he really cemented himself as a big time,main event guy.Aside from this match there wasn't a whole lot else going on here,at least nothing of note,other than The Undertaker winning his second WWF title from Sid Vicious,with some assistance from Bret Hart.Definitely worth viewing strictly for the Austin/Hart match,which really is one of the greatest matches in this events history.
... View MoreGee, where do I start? The only two good matches were the Chicago Street Fight and Bret/Austin. Everything else blew. Hell, The Free For All match was better then most of the card! The Rock/Sultan match was so boring that I would of rather had a root canalNOT RECOMMENDED.
... View MoreIn my opinion 1997 was one of the WWF's best years. So much happened during 1997. The Undertaker had some great matches. Ditto Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. The New Hart Foundation feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stars such as Mankind and Ahmed Johnson improved throughout the year and the tag team scene was phenomenal.In the main event Sycho Sid battled the Undertaker. These two had wrestled in mediocre matches during late 1991/early 1992 but this match was brilliant and exceeded my expectations.Bret Hart had an entertaining scrap with Stone Cold Steve Austin in a match refereed by Ken Shamrock. Great match but I've never understood why Bret was booed after the match.Goldust and Hunter Hearst Helmsley had a good match too and performed above their usual standards.There were many other great matches as well. One of my favourites pitted Davey Boy Smith and the late Owen Hart VS Vader and Mankind in a mega match.This was a great event. For some reason even the mediocre wrestlers gave 110% and put on a good show for the fans. This event was the way things should be all the time.
