    The fact that Brett thought that HBK would even consider that is incredible LOL. Especially around that time

      Thank God Goldberg kicked that piece of garbage straight out of the business

      even funnier is that Vince screwed him and then tried to sign Warrior just after man🤣

    Benoit vs HHH vs HBK for favourite triple threat. They way HHH and HBK tried to treat Benoit as a kayfabe afterthought in the build up plus their previous history of burials really made you think Benoit had no shot. Hell of a match, hell of a finish.

    That was the year I went to my first WWF house show. The main event was Bret Hart vs. Undertaker vs. HHH (replacing Shawn Michaels).
    It ended with Kane making a run-in attacking Undertaker.

      Same. I literally stopped the video, rolled it back and asked myself, “what did he call them?” Thought maybe I dropped my phone or something…

    Meanwhile in WCW in 1997, they had NBA legend Dennis Rodman appear multiple times on their programming throughout the year. Rodman even joined the NWO (the only celebrity to ever join) & teamed with Hogan to take on Lex Luger & the Giant (AKA Big Show & Paul Wright) at Bash at the Beach. Then Rodman played an important role in the World title match at Road Wild where he cost Luger the match by dressing up as Sting & hitting him with a baseball bat. All of this led up to what happened the following year where Rodman teamed up with Hogan again to take on DDP & Karl Malone again at Bash at the Beach. Lastly in 1999, Rodman would come back to WCW & have one more feud this time with the Macho Man Randy Savage which led to another match at Road Wild that Savage won easily in one of the final appearances he had in WCW before quitting the company.

    When It Comes Pro Wrestling During The '90s I like WCW better one of the earliest cancelled tv shows I watched on TH-cam the others are a blur to me to be honest the mid to late 2000's Is starting to become a flash In the pan I'm so old

    Todd Pettengill had left WWF around SummerSlam 1997. He had the company hire Michael Cole as his replacement

    So cool to learn that Taker did his first dive over the top rope in 1997 on Raw
    As for my favorite triple threat match, I have a soft spot for Cena VS Punk VS Show from SummerSlam 2012

    It’s hard to beat Gunther vs Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre but if there was another it would be Jeff Hardy vs HHH vs Edge

    Anyone remember Matt Damon from 97? I do.

  • @tomseville2345
    @tomseville2345 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The fact that Charles Wright was set to return as Papa Shango (in a darker, more evil tone) in '97 might not have been known by EVERY fan, and could have been included here; it was thought to be too close to the Kane character's debut to have another separate supernatural monster heel and the (supernatural monster *babyface*) Undertaker at the same time; so it got scrapped and they dumped him in the Nation as "Kama Mustafa" on account of being big and black...

    My favorite Triple Threat match is that one Wrestlemania Main event that never happened. It's so sad that he went psycho.

    I was wondering, now that triple h said a few weeks ago that the name sports entertainment will be no more and the company were going to call it professional wrestling again, instead of calling it WWE, call it WPW, World Pro Wrestling, I'm just thinking out loud here, but if that's true about WWE getting rid of the sports entertainment name, I'm curious as to what they will change it to 🤔

    Ahhh the Year I was born. Where I wasn't alive for Austin vs Hart but was for Kane's debut, Pillmans death, and the Montreal Screwjob 😅 just make me feel old despite not even being 30 let alone close to old age
    The year the world was supposed to end in The Terminator. Which I find ironic it was the end of the New Generation era in this very year.

  • @dgthe3
    @dgthe3 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Technically speaking, shouldn't a triple threat match be one where a champion is defending against 3 others? Because there are 3 threats to their title?

    I would've loved to see that Bret Hart and HBK finish at Mania 13 since the Montréal Screwjob finish was going to happen anyways. Although things would've been different if Vince could've kept Bret

    My favourite triple threat match is & will always be Samoa Joe Vs Ajay Styles Vs Christopher Daniels in TNA the match has everything & should be the benchmark for a triple threat match in my opinion.

    WWF Superstars continued airing in the international markets. Gorilla Monsoon would sometimes provide commentary to matches. He did so until about a month or so before his death.

    • @tomseville2345
      @tomseville2345 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Gorilla's last work for the WWF/wrestling in general. One of the only guys even Vince ever truly loved and respected, along with Freddie Blassie and Pat Patterson. A true "employee for life"...

    Yes Montreal needs to be moved on from. But know what else needs to be moved on from? What culture making sure they mention that WWE is sports entertainment in a derogatory manner in every video... Pro wrestling and sports entertainment are the same thing...
