![]() ![]() ![]() Shawn Michaels becomes the first "Grand Slam Champion" in WWF history - IE the first person to have held all of the titles at least once.īret Hart has what has been heralded by many (including Bret, himself) his last great match vs The Undertaker - in a 28min classic.Ģ days after this PPV, Monday Night Raw takes place in Madison Square Garden - this is when Vince McMahon tells Bret Hart he cannot honour Bret's contract and suggests he leave to WCW. Degeneration X has all but formed and are about 5 weeks into using that moniker. Sthe WWF travels "across the pond" to Manchester for the One Night Only PPV.Ī few weeks removed from the IYH : Ground Zero PPV we see Shawn Michaels defeat The British Bulldog for the European Championship, in controversial fashion. as well as reviewing / rewatching the 'Big 4' for 1991. WE'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU IN 2022 WITH '1 Year in Wrestling : 1998'. THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN FOR THIS PAST YEAR OF 1997 & 1990. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF OUR LISTENERS OUT THERE!! Goldberg had his first official PPV match v Mongo McMichael. Nash was unable to make the event due to legit health issues, so his match against the Giant was pulled. Sting had taken some heat for not being in ring-shape, as well - the hilarious quote of Bischoff suggesting he wasn't "tan enough".Īside from the confusing main event - the rest of the PPV was fairly middle of the road.īenoit took on Saturn, Eddy took on Dean Malenko - all 4 of the Radicalz fought amongst themselves on this night. Rumour has it Hogan told Patrick NOT to do the rushed count in order to get what he wanted out of the match.whether that was making Sting look weak or whatever his reasons may have been. Nick Patrick was "supposed" to do a quick 3 count to feed into the story that followed : Bret Hart came down, claiming no ref funny business will ever happen on his watch, punches out Patrick and re-starts the match. This PPV is well-known (except to Chris) as the PPV with the botched ending that, in some folks opinion, showed the first crack in the WCW armour. The recently turned-heel Scott Stiener faces off against Lex Luger in a short and ugly contest. Giant looks for revenge for his broken neck at the hands of Kevin Nash. Jericho beats Malenko with one of his 1004 holds.and then Mean Gene lives up to his name and verbally destroys Malenko after the match! Hilarious! ![]() (Plus Bret Hart has some rotten entrance music at this point). Very solid opener.Īs Chris mentioned, the undercard of this one was solid and the matches (and crowd) got flatter as the evening progressed.īret Hart v Curt Hennig was the perfect (pun intended) case of this statement.after so many classic battles over the years, you'd expect these 2 to have a mat classic but it just. Match of the Night: DDP v Raven v The Man Who Shall Not Be Named! Killer match.īooker T started off the PPV, yet again, defending his TV Title against Eddy Guerrero. Hall finally gets his World War III-promised Title Match against Sting. If the top of the card was lousy (and it was) then the bottom to middle was actually quite good!īooker T kicks off the night in match 8 in his best of 7 series with Chris Benoit (how is that for Steiner math!)īooker T then takes on Fit Finlay for the TV Title later in the evening. The best part of the match was watching Giant smoke cigarettes. The main event saw Sting (red face paint and all) take on a cigarette-smoking Giant for full custody of the tag belts. Hart did not work well in WCW, did he? Hogan and Hart have little to no chemistry.Piper and Mach end up having a strange match after the tag match. Speaking of Hollywood - Hogan & Hart team up in a pretty rotten match v Piper & Macho Man. Here Curt Hennig and Rick Rude jump Konnan after the match to reveal they are still part of nWo Hollywood. NWo Wolfpac v nWo Hollywood continues to "heat up" as the usual random double-crosses / jersey switching occurs. Goldberg.Da Man.hits 100-0 after destroying Konnan. ![]()
