Ep. 48: 1997 Canadian Stampede
Join your co-chairman as they journey to the Calgary Stampede as the famed Hart Family take their greatest stand, as the Hart Foundation squad of Bret, Owen, Anvil, Bulldog and Pillman face ragtag group of Americans captained by the surging Stone Cold Steve Austin.
TLF assess it all, including:
- The surprising note on sadness that sets in today watching the show’s closing scene, starring so many staples of the business we’ve lost
- The WWF light heavyweight experiment – why it paled in comparison to WCW’s cruiser weights and what it should have been
- The quantities that makes Stone Cold who he is come into stark relief in the way the main event is worked and booked.
- Bruce Hart almost ruins things (Bret agrees)
- Why there need to be more four-match pay-per-views
- Are Mankind and Triple H still brawling as we speak?
- The Harts are welcomed with massive autograph lines to the Stampede
– The hottest Bret Hart has ever been as a character in wrestling, as an uber baby in Canada and an uber heel in America
- The seeds are planted for the Undertaker/Kane/dead parents storyline, as Paul Bearer leads Vader in to challenge The Undertaker
- The last “In Your House” style PPV before WWF switched to a three-hour, $30 monthly model that took off despite the steeper price
- WWF telegraphs where the product is headed by invoking “shades of gray”
All that and so much more as TLF delves into one of the most storied and unique nights in WWF history. Download here.
