1997 is considered one of the very best years in WWF history. While the company was slowly moving towards more contemporary content, storylines and rivalries would get presented in a way that also appealed to older fans. The biggest WWF storyline of 1997 concerned Bret Hart and his heel turn.
Bret Hart felt wrestling fans had turned their back on him in favour of guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels. Hart decided to unite his family and reform the Hart Foundation, a group that consisted of Bret, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart and family friend Brian Pillman. While Bret would rip into fans in the States he would also praise his fans in Europe and Canada, and this created a unique dynamic where Bret and the Hart Foundation would get cheered everywhere except the USA.
The Hart Foundation came home to Calgary, Alberta, Canada for the WWF’s 16th In Your House event, aptly titled “Canadian Stampede”. At the Canadian Stampede show, The Hart Foundation were treated like heroes by the audience in attendance while their opponents were booed, opponents who would normally get cheered in the States. This created a unique atmosphere in the Calgary Saddledome that the WWE has never been able to recreate. Along with this, In Your House: Canadian Stampede featured some of the very best in-ring action the WWF had produced all year. In the end, the PPV received critical acclaim and it’s considered one of the best pay per views of 1997. The event was headlined by The Hart Foundation vs Ken Shamrock, Goldust, The Legion of Doom and Stone Cold Steve Austin in a 10 Man Tag match. This video covers the entire show.

The hard camera shaking while the crowd goes nuts is such a cool visual.
And it wasn’t even a Kevin Dunn edict.
You see that in football often, but rare in pro wrestling.
I was there everyone was stomping. The upper bowls are metal grating. So it was getting smashed. It was louder than the Metallica concert.
Brian Pillman was so underrated. Imagine if he was around for the entirety of the attitude era
Definitely. Would have been great first title defence for Austin.
I genuinely believe that had he never injured his ankle Pillman would have been a top guy and HOFer. The guy was incredibly ahead of his time.
@@rikkihill22 I agree and I also believe he should still be considered for the HOF for his strong influence and contribution to the industry. He should've gotten in LONG before the Bellas.
That would have been Awesome He probably would have the Vince McMahon Corporation ....Only for Vince McMahon kick him off the team for being a . Loose Cannon ....He would have Been World champion in the .. ruthless aggression era
I honestly think he would've left after Montreal
Canadian fans are awesome. So passionate about wrestling, and they ALWAYS cheer their fellow Canadians, heel or face. Watching heels like Edge and Kevin Owens fight back tears as their country roars for them is a genuinely touching experience.
Well they booed Edge at Summerslam 2004.
Oh and we Canucks seem to really like Hulk Hogan .
Canadian fans sucks no respect for America’s
@@craigusselman546 I was there on the Raw after Wrestlemania 2002, screaming out for Hollywood Hogan.
The man seriously rules.
That pop had to be one of the biggest ever in the business once Bret came out and all 5 was on the ramp.
I was there bro. It was absolutely deafening. Was so loud. The floor is metal grating. Everyone was stomping. It was one of the best days of my life.
i honestly believe that anytime bret and austin got into a slug-fest in the ring, their punches looked the best out of any professional wrestler...
Oh, absolutely. Their feud was one of the best....they legit looked like they were trying to kill each other.
Bret especially was so good. Just watched hitman vs 123 kid from the first raw. Snug as they say.
I completely agree, and it’s funny u say that cuz individually, Bret and Austin threw very weird looking punches that were very similar to each other, however combined, it was just a tornado of fists flying and it made for an awesome brawling spot
@@joshuaizzo8893 was intense. I was 12 years old watching that ppv live with my dad
Nah jarret or lawler
Steve having an absolute ball is a delight. His sense of humour that often bubbles so close to the surface is one of my favourite things about him.
I was at that event. The crowd was BANANAS. Words can not describe. Most wrestlers go their entire careers hoping they get as a big a pop as even frigging Jim Neidhart got that night, let alone the crowd's response to Bret Hart. Goosebumps every time I watch that match.
I was there at that event also. Bret and the Hart Foundation were faces worldwide, it was just the United States, he was considered a heel. That was why fans outside the USA saw how Vince and co. said, Bret was the one in the wrong it made no sense. Bret was telling the truth.
After the In Your House event, in the parking lot, my brother and I, among others heard yelling. Someone yelled very loud "GET LOST YOU F'N C**T!"
My brother used his binoculars and it was Hawk, there was about eight fans. They all wore Austin 3: 16 shirts. They had intentionally blocked the vehicle the Road Warriors were in, to prevent them from leaving the premises.
It looked like Hawk was going to step out, but after that yell others went over there and the Austin fans left.
People can be such jerks towards the performers.
@@alanguages I was there too man. It was crazy. Best show of my life.
25:25 "1997 was one of the very best years in the history of the World Wrestling Federation". Couldn't agree more. Wish we could go back and live it all over again.
Wish Bret had stayed in the WWF throughout 1998 and 1999.
@@cyrus2546 wcw had no idea what they were doing with Bret. Such a waste
The only PPV I ever got to see LIVE. Floor seats, amazing event!!
I was there too man. Awesome stuff.
@@nucks4life11 4Life
@@TheDaleStars I was only 14 at the time and THE biggest Owen Hart fan. Glad I got to see him Live.
@@nucks4life11 I was 16 and wrestling was life back then haha
@@TheDaleStars ya I stopped watching when the attitude era ended.
I'm from Edmonton (about 3 hours from Calgary) and the Harts are absolute royalty in Alberta. Bret walks on water here even now, the only person we love more is Wayne Gretzky. It's hard to explain the love and respect Bret has despite the Edmonton vs Calgary rivalry.
One of the saddest part of the 10 man tag is that in real life Bret Hart is the only one left on his team while we also lost the L.O.D. as well.
@Lee Hayman: It's just not right those young men still had a lot of life to live.
@@tommyhallum2054 And Dustin is a testament to that. Hell, he’s still active and is as good if not better than at any point in his career.
This video is just a reminder of how bright Brian Pillman's future was looking at the time. His loose cannon gimmick was so good, it just didn't quite fit the era yet. I have no doubt he would have been one of the top guys of the Attitude era.
Gimmick was great but Pillman was a shell of his former self. Unfortunately he was ravaged by injuries. He was never the same after his accident. I don’t think he would’ve been able to work much during the attitude era as he was very limited here. Maybe as a manager or something?
Rewatching this to prepare for Reliving the War this week!
Id say this was probably the last good moment for the Harts for a long time. The Montreal Screwjob would happen later in the year, death of Owen around 2 years later, Bulldog and Stu Hart dying in the 2000s and Bret retiring and having multiple health issues including a stroke.
Keep going. It didn’t stop there.
Really, Bret’s win in the WCW world title tournament in 1999 is about the only properly good moment they had for many years. And of course, Bret’s promo to start the next night’s Nitro was 90% about how rough the last couple years had been… only to end by setting up that Goldberg match at Starrcade.
6 out of 10 of the people in the main event have passed away.. absolutely mind blowing and sad.
It's wild that Bret's the only one left from the Hart Foundation. Very sad.
@@sese6227 Bret was never in to the drugs and alcohol like ALOT of people from back in the day.
Very sad
@@lutherheggs451 I think you need to dig deeper. Bret has always been my fave, but to say he never indulged, well you should do a bit more research.
Currently going through your "Relieving The War" series and you are the best for any and everything wrestling related. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! New episode this Thursday as usual :)

WWF In Your House 16: Canadian Stampede (WATCH)
Date: July 6, 1997 - Location: Canadian Airlines Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Attendance: 12,151 - PPV Buys: 0.59 (
One of, If not the greatest "In Your House" PPV of all time. One of the best in general i really enjoyed it.
Gotta rewatch this to keep the authentic reliving the way experience
The best night that I can remember. Was sitting in the 2nd balcony behind the house stage were the American flag is upside down.
Enjoy all the videos you make. Thanks for all the work you put into these for our entertainment. 🇨🇦
I was right beside you. Had a mohawk, and an Austin 3:16 shirt.
The most interesting addition to the 5 on 5 is Goldust. Back then I didn't really care for the Goldust gimmick but watching this match got my attention. Goldust was an underrated grappler I wish he would've gotten a decent push. I know he did receive the IC title but still.
PILLMAN IS A LEGEND. TOP 10 GUYS ON THE MICROPHONE. 💯
One of the most exciting and underated ppvs ever and RIP Brodie lee
I wouldn't call it underrated at all...this is one of the most beloved and talked about PPV's of the era, and for good reason. A stellar show with one of the hottest crowds ever. Always hits the #1 spot of all the In Your House ranking reviews. A total classic. And RIP to 80% of the guys on the Hart team...even a few months later things changed forever for the family, and it was pretty much all downhill for the next 2 decades 😢
RIP to Brodie Lee aka Luke Harper and known as Jon Huber.
Thank you Brodie 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you Brodie 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you Brodie 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you Brodie 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thats MISTER Brodie Lee! 😇
When was he involved in WWF before 03-04 or 12
Perfect for reliving the war
19:12 One thing that I would have highlighted during the Foundation's entrances is that the crowd gets louder and louder as its members enter the stage, to the point you can barely hear Howard Finkle during Bret's entrance.
You sold me this ppv dude. I paused mid-match during the taka-sasuke bout and am watching the full ppv. Never seen a hotter wrestling audience, esp during the main event entrances. Canadian fans we salute you.🙏
Haa!
Found this main event (10 man tag match) on TH-cam and while watching it, hearing the crowd, seeing certain wrestlers just looking fantastic, it almost brought a tear to my eye. It's Absolutely something every wrestling fan should make an effort to watch.
😄👍
That moment of harsh realization when you see that Bret Hart is the last man standing out of everyone in that thumbnail 😟
😟
Thanks for doing this one. I’m from Calgary and this was the first pay per view I ever attended. The atmosphere there was truly insane. I wish there were a few more matches but it was awesome for sure. Thanks again. 🤘
I was there too man. Greatest Show ever
That 10 man Tag Team match was special to see the reception the Hart Foundation received and when the family members came in the ring to me was one the greatest wrestling moments ever. The Taker vs Vader match I liked much better than their match at the rumble. Austin's acting was just wonderful to the Canadian crowd.
Best PPV of 1997, nice touch that owen got the winning pinfall too
the thing i loved most about mick foley when he was portraying ''mankind'' was that he would always tell whomever he was facing in the ring, to lay in the shots to his face/head as hard as he could because of the mask he was wearing.
Bret and Austin was a underrated rivalry man their chemistry in the ring was great I believe hadn’t the Montreal screw job happened Bret would have had no problem dropping the belt to Austin at Wrestlemania
Underrated my ass. This rivalry was legendary.
I loved Bret and Stone Cold, but seeing Austin come back and get jumped was the best thing ever back then 🤣🤣
Austin was brilliant here.
Yes he was! He became a legend that night. With all his in ring antics, then flipping off the crowd while handcuffed hahah
Easily one of my top 10 PPV's ever. You just cant recreate some atmospheres.
Yes! Finally! One of my favourites pay per views ever! The pop The Harts received in Calgary was electric! Brilliant video again Sir! 😎👍
Who’s here from Reliving the War? Great stuff, my man.
I watch this paper view often I’m thinking at least 4 or 5 times a year...I love hearing the pop Bret gets when he walks out...seeing the Harts happy...it was magical 🪄
No idea why this channel doesn't have millions of subs.
I think it will
I watch this PPV a few times a year.
Best time of the day thank you wrestling bios
This was my first exposure to wrestling, I got it on VHS as a birthday present in 1998 and the main event got me hooked. Been watching wrestling ever since.
In his book Bret mentions that when the Hart family joined them in the ring after the match, some random kid went in with them. Bret asked him "Who are you? and the kid said "I told them I was a Hart!" Bret said "Well wave to the crowd and enjoy yourself!"
Watching this as it is coming up in Reliving the war. Interesting to note that via reliving the war we now know that Taka vs Sasuke was NOT the first match in the renewed light heavyweight division.
I was at this event. One of the greatest memories. Along with meeting, Jim the anvil, and Owen.
I've heard many great things about that PPV.
I’ve watched many wrestling content creators on TH-cam but you are by far the best out there. They way you cover the OG WWF content is so interesting and very engaging. Also you cover ECW and WCW stuff too.
Such a great time to be a Bret hart fan. Bret hart and Stone Cold made USA vs Canada felt real. When Austin came to Canada they boo him and cheer him in America. When Bret hart comes to America and gets booed and when he returns to Canada he is loved and cheered. It's the like America fans liked being heels and Canadians loved being face.
Great times during the pre Attitude era.
I lived about 45 minutes from Calgary in high school when this took place, I couldn't afford to go, but my buddy got a ticket for his birthday, he said it's the loudest building he's ever been in. I didn't believe him for years until I watched the PPV myself online a while back
1997 is remembered for the screw job and Bret vs Austin. This WHOLE year was WWF’s best until 99
As a proud Canadian citizen & Alberta resident, I can say we ARE bizarro land. We cheer for those we are proud for and those we respect, so even being highly booed is a compliment. Long time viewer, awesome video, keep it up!
Just shows how deep Wrestling runs in the blood of Calgary. We know the crowd reactions are part of the show and respond accordingly.
In Your House.Canadian Stampede was a fun PPV. It felt good to see and hear the fans support the Hart Foundation and that celebration at the end was priceless.
I was at this show. 4 rows behind the announce table. I've been to WrestleMania in multiple cities, but this is the absolute biggest highlight of my wrestling fandom. The crowd was insanely hot.
It’s crazy with all the things that needed to perfectly align for WWF to pull this off
Another great video.
Thanks wrestling bios.
Watched Stampede as a kid and always will hold the Hart and the extended family close to my heart. My all time favourite PPV, thank you for this upload.
Love the new intro. The camera shaking during the main event was fantastic
Whoever is behind wrestling bios...u sir are a genius and very clever u cover things that no other channel has ever cover
Love this channel, Canadian stampede is one of my favourite memories, I still get goosebumps with their entrance
lets goooo bret hart episode
Man all the people were lost in this ppv main event alone; Owen, Bulldog, Hawk, Animal, Pillman, Vader,
Don’t forget Jim Neidhart
@@teddunleavy4347 no lie I knew I was forgetting someone. My mind still on Brodie 🤦🏻♂️
Sad to think only 4 out of the 10 are still alive. 😢 thank you always for your amazingly produced videos. Yours commentary is amazing great story telling about every second of your videos.
Definitely in my top 5 all time ppvs
My fave PPV ever (I was a wrestling fan from 93 to 01).
Same here
Watching this for the RTW series
I see a video from this channel and like before I even watch!
Second time I've watched this, I came back to this after watching King of the Ring 1997, still an amazing video, but your quality has become so fantastic over the past year, thought you needed to know that. Cheers

Lol
Thank you for covering every match. This was one of the greatest WWF pay per views from that era. Every phase of The Hart Foundation left us with amazing memories
I wish Pillman would have made it through the Attitude era. Not only was his life cut short, I feel like he could have reached his peak in the WWF. Imagine some of the angles he could have worked through the early 2000's. Him and Austin could have had a series of matches. It would've been interesting to see what they did with Pillman during The Invasion angle too. What a great heel he was.
And people roll their eyes when they hear that Bret is a Canadian hero, but just listen to that ovation. Completely off the charts.
Look how badass Bret and the Harts looked in their leather coats and sunglasses. What a special time it was.
Wrestling bios brings the heat once more. You pick topics as if you could read my mind.
Foley vs hhh feud 👌 10/10 🔥 that will be a good 1⃣ 👍🏻
I remember these tapes. My cousin I grew up with who’s a week younger than me collected some much merch and videos on the WWF. He had these tapes and they were some of my favourites. He is passed on now, but these videos always brings me back.
I love this channel. All of your content is A+++++. I don’t turn my notification bell on for a lot of channels but you are definitely one of the channels that I do turn it on for.
Has Stone Cold ever talked about this PPV on his podcast? It seemed like a heck of a night and he was just relishing the entire experience. It's like he couldn't help but smile.
Mike Tenay would have been amazing in the Taka-Sasuke match. When I finally got to see WCW Nitro here in Denmark, he quickly became my favourite commentator.
Great video and great match recommendations, like always great content from you, take care.
A very fitting tribute to one of the all time greatest wrestling families and a fantastic example of how a crowd can make a great show legendary
Great upload as always WB
An absolutely perfect PPV. You should also do videos focusing on WrestleMania 17 and SummerSlam 2002
Happy new year mate thanks for the content during the holidays
Same to you! Happy New Year & thank you for continuing to watch!
Officially the show that got me into WWF - Maybe even wrestling in general. I borrowed the VHS from my mate. Great show.
That stampede show was amazing. Reminds me of wrestlemania 18 rock vs hogan. Those canucks are the best wrestling fans in the world.
RIP Brodie Lee. 😞
RIP Mr Huber
I have so many hours logged watching this, and i genuinely think you're right, the reaction, will probably never be heard again. It's always stuck with me, and always felt justified, in a way, that owen gets the deciding fall. If only they booked him with the same amount of respect more often, he might have been a multiple time world champion, and maybe even still alive.
Thankyou, for all your amazing work on every video !
That sick intro had me raising the roof Bret Hart style 🤷❤ 🔫 😎🤷
In the 10 men's tag team only four of them are still with us very sad RIP to Brian Pillman, Owen Hart, Davey Boy, The Anvil, and The Road warriors 🙏😔
Stone cold really worked that crowd... he was so good at what he did while also respecting the other wrestlers in the ring
I always wondered why there weren’t too many matches on Canadian Stampede.
I really appreciate Reliving the War and I can not wait for 1997. I might rewatch all of 1997 before you start uploading them. A lot of us became fans during the Attitude era and there's something so alluring about the year prior being the bridge between eras.
I lived close to Canada when I was young and Calgary Stampede wrestling was on our tv. it was usually a good show.
Where are you from by the way?

@@christopherwheat4432 Thanks
Mick Foley had such a deep understanding of what makes pro wrestling work. He's always been good displaying his toughness by overcoming punishment, not just going full Strong Style through your opponents offence.
You always bring the heat on these. PPV quality.
The main event may have been the most fun Steve Austin has had in a PPV match. He so obviously relishes in getting to be the nasty heel (again). He was having the time of his life.
Only thing I didn't like in the main event was the Owen Hart comeback, where he 'saves' Bret Hart. There are three team mates on the apron that just stand around.
That reaction the Hart Foundation gets is why that match is one of my favorites of all time. It’s a true hero’s welcome, and gives me chills every time I see it.
Great video, would like to see more whole events covered.
This main event got a lot of people I know into wrestling. I was in 4th next couple months and its all everyone was talking about. Stone Cold became a legend that night!
That crowd was insane.
I was there as an 8 year old, thanks for sharing...it was bigger than Christmas
