WWF WrestleMania 13 took place on March 23rd 1997 in the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, Il. While including a critically acclaimed submission match between Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin, WrestleMania 13 has the distinction of being the WrestleMania event with the lowest ever PPV buyrate.
The Road to WrestleMania 13 was filled with twists and turns, most of which centered around the WWF Championship. When Shawn Michaels "lost his smile" and forfeited the WWF title, the company seemed to change direction on an almost weekly basis; the main event of Mania seemed to be up in the air until the 11th hour. In the end, Sycho Sid defended the championship against The Undertaker in the main event, while Bret Hart vs Steve Austin was placed in the middle of the card. The Austin vs Hart match, quite simply, is a classic. Featuring what many call the greatest double-turn in the history of wrestling, the outcome of the match left Bret Hart getting boo'd while Austin was cheered like a hero.
Also at Mania 13, Rocky Maivia defended the Intercontinental Championship against The Sultan, Hunter Hearst Helmsley had a grudge match with Goldust, and the Nation of Domination took on Ahmed Johnson & The Legion of Doom in a Chicago Street Fight. Mania 13 was definitely a departure from the usual tone of previous WrestleMania events; some of it worked, some of it didn't.

Austin vs. Hart saved this Wrestlemania and it was the match we were talking about the next day in high school. It was absolutely epic.
and 24 years later:)
@@cmcculloch1 just like Cactus Jack vs. Triple H on Raw September 22, 1997 this match should be required watching for anyone wanting to get into wrestling.
Same!
The longer I think on it the more I realize it's my favorite match without consciously choosing it to be. It checks all the boxes. It's peak 90's WWF at its best out of arguably its worst point in said decade. This one somehow fused classic wrestling psychology with a modern twist that made it feel anything but a work. This was pro wrestling at its finest IMHO!
@@FreneticZetetic and it told an amazing story at the same time advancing other. Austin was legitimized and became a fan favorite while Bret kept slowly turning heel with his fueds against Michael's and Undertaker.
There really will never be another Brett Hart. Truly one of the greatest. And working with one of the greatest babyface stars ever is and will be a classic for years
Both men were amazing and totally over but even more credit to Bret for laying it out and suggesting Austin get color which def played a big part in getting over the sympathy angle helping Stone Cold turn babyface.
The best there was, the best there was and the best there ever will be...
(I really hope people get the joke here...)
@@ITFNBiteBayKon Goldberg pretty much made sure of that as that stiff AF corner head kick to Bret essentially ended his career.
Owen was the better Hart
@@KBell119 Owen & Bret both are legendary, they were destined for wrestling greatness as Stu stretched them and trained them from birth pretty much. Owen didn’t (tragically) have a full career and even though he did the aerial moves where Bret didn’t I say Bret was a little better as his ring psychology and ability (such as here) to call matches and spots and just always seem to know what was the right move at a particular time within a match. Yea he had his typical spots like the face first turnbuckle crash and offensively with the 2nd rope elbow drop and Russian leg sweep but never would you say Bret had the same match or was predictable.
Marlena sold the Chyna ragdolling SO WELL. I can still picture her arms flailing around like a wacky waving inflatable tube man
SHe wasn't selling she was legit hurt. But she told her to do it so it looked real and not fake
Dwayne Johnson lifting himself from a guy with X-Pac heat to one of the 3-4 biggest stars in the history of the business continues to be remarkable to me. He did it organically. Dude was dead and buried.
THAT'S charisma.
As someone who got into wrestling when The Rock was already the hottest item out there, on some level, I find it hard to compehend. It's quite clear that the man had a lot of charisma even back then while there are so relatively many guys on the roster with silly gimmicks or hardly any gimmicks at all and who couldn't even spell charisma.
And Sultan got super over as Rikishi
@@AithlynC The Rock would headline Mania in two, three, and four years from now.
I got to watch his rise from ultra babyface...to Nation member to the greatest heel/fave ever.
Hope you realize how many of us look forward to these videos! I’ll admit I refreshed a few times this afternoon waiting for the upload. Great work as usual, thank you!
Same here. My Sunday's not complete until I watch these videos
I sit at a desk at work and listen as I work. Used to have a neighbor who would watch Raw and Nitro with me on Mondays.
Gotta have them for my bed routine lol
Honestly this is where I get my wrestling fix. I wouldn’t dare watch modern wwe or aew.
Did the sultan do it for the rock
When Bret turns Austin over into the sharpshooter is one of the few moments in wrestling that still feels like a shoot to me.
Bret was one of the few who was gifted to make a pro wrestling bout look like something similar to a fight
@@exe2517 And Stone Cold was one of his best dance partners ever.
@@exe2517 It's not just that but also the fact that once it's locked in you can barely see Austin's legs. It didn't look like your usual wrestling version of a submission. It looked like he was trying to put him down. Credit to both guys. This match is the perfect example of what wrestling is missing today. There are no characters or charisma anymore that invest you into what happens during the match. It sucks being someone that grew up in the 80s and 90s watching how wrestling has become a fake version of MMA
My dad was a huge wrestling fan and his favourite all time match was the Hart Vs Austin match. For days he would talk about it with other people (my dad was 63) and tell people you need to see this match! My dad passed a few years back and the Hart and Austin will always be the greatest match for me always because it reminds me of the times my dad would say put that match on. Great memories. Thank you for all the hard work and it's highly appreacited
I'm still telling people they need to see that match!
I really love how brett hart bakes the storyline into the actual match so well. Most of the time "story" is a boring promo before and after the match. Imagine if Vince had stuck to that 10 year contract, it could have meant hundreds of 5 star matches.
While giving the best matches of their careers to Foley, Kane, the Rock, Angle, etc.
Hopefully Bret wouldn't have been injured as well.
20 years contract *
Watching mostly WCW at this time, the Austin vs Bret Hart match completely passed me by in my teens and I wouldn't see it for many years afterwards. But after watching it on youtube a few years ago (before it was taken down obviously) I gained a real appreciation for the match and it made me wish I'd stayed with the WWF at that time.
Dailymotion bro! Say NO to Peacock.
@@kylestoddart Or go old old school and look for Tony Orrient.. There is a full WM13 version on there.. I know, as I have it and sharing still. ;)
Oh yeah I remember back in 2008 up to 2012 you could watch sooo many full matches on youtube
WCW was a much better show for the next year and a half. I hadn't seen this Wrestlemania and man am I glad I passed it up back in the day too.
This Austin vs Hart is my favorite match of all-time.
I have to say your attention to detail when mentioning just how good of a sell job Bret put out on Austin's chairshot goes to show you that Bret was insanely meticulous with even the slightest nuances in his matches
18:53 "We see the elbow drop from Bret's Rope" ahhh i see what you did there Wrestling Bios, a winner is you my friend
Also the aloha sultan
He also deserves a can of coke
It's called Bret's rope on Wikipedia as well OSW got a lot of terms over
*Everything after this PPV was my childhood. I can't wait!*
You didn't put over the commentating team during the Hart-Austin match enough. As much as the match itself was a masterpiece, the announcing team took it to the next level. Epic story telling and amazing double-face/heal turn.
Pipe down..he knows what he's doing chico
@@PaulybiGGballZ0820 Who is Pipe Down, and why does he know what he's doing?
Amazing how this had the lowest buy rate for any wrestlemania and yet arguably had its greatest ever match.
It's my personal favourite as it was thrown together a month prior and is just a massive credit to both Bret and Austin's drive and professional attitude to pull off such a beautiful match
It helped to elevate the Monday Night Wars and The Undertaker was really the 2nd choice.
@@lexkanyima2195 I don't even think he was the 2nd choice. Someone brought up that they didn't have anything for Taker at Mania and he was kinda thrown into it.. Had Shawn not been a screw up Taker probably wouldn't have been on the card.
@@lutherheggs451 he would have been involved in the title picture because of the respect of the business.
It had low buy rate because it was a terrible card. Aside from Austin/hart, there were no matches that made you go "hell yeah! I have to see that!". Also, a month is a ridiculous amount of time to put a match together.
Bret vs Austin at 13, is easily in the top 3 Mania matches ever.
is the best WWF match period
@@kidz4p509 he became a fan favorite when he won king of the ring and cut the infamous Austin 3:16 promo. He was super over by the time this match came around.
Cultaholic rated it as the second greatest Wrestlmania match ever, only behind the Undertaker v Shawn Michaels at Wrestlmania 25. That also makes it the best match of the first 24 Wrestlmanias. It might be the best match in either man's career, and that is saying a LOT.
Without this match, Wrestlmania 13 might have been in the bottom 5 Wrestlmanias.
True story, I met Bret Hart in New Orleans during the WM30 weekend on Bourbon Street. He was taking pictures with people, and I asked for a picture too. We took a pic, and I told him that he vs Austin was the best Wrestlemania match of all time. He looked at me and said “you know, it really was! That and the Iron Man match.” Lol
Thanks for the great review as always, WB.
His match with Owen is better than the Iron Man match, in my opinion. As is his match with Piper for the IC belt.
The submission match is one of my top 5 favorite wrestlemania matches of all time. That match had great wrestling and storytelling and that double turn is still one of the best in wrestling history no double turn since then has come even close to this one.
Very significant
A very important Wrestlemania that not only made history but also changed the course for the company, Bret Hart became the most hated man and Austin became the next big star while Undertaker headlined his first Wrestlemania main event match by going old school to win his 2nd world title after almost 6 years. Thanks for covering this one and keep up the good work 👏
But Undertaker was really the 2nd choice if Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels rematch did'nt take place.
Bret hart was face in 1997 dude. He was only heel in wcw
@@arslaanpasha3334 He was a heel🤦♂. In '97 he was telling American wrestling fans to kiss his ass ffs😂.
You rarely throw that many F-bombs in these videos so when you said "Ahmed Johnson performs a FUCKIN somersault plancha over the guard rail..." I was livid. Great delivery. Great video. You are the king of Wrestling youtubers IMO. Keep it up man.
Livid? That means very angry haha. That makes this comment very confusing
The Hart/Austin match caused a real fight between me and my friend that night 😂
Two 12 year olds still believing that wrestling was real.
When Jim Cornette thinks a WWF match is good enough to be on a mid-'80s Starrcade, you know Bret and Austin put together something a bit special.
When Cornette enjoys ANY WWF/WWE match, you know it was a great match.
Daily Motion has a video of Austin calling his own match against Bret.
It's amazing how committed both guys were to telling the story that they did.
Link?
I think that video came from Stone Cold's 4 disk DVD that was released in about 2012,
Been waiting on this one! Appreciate your grind!
That Bret hart Austin match brings a year to my eye man, wrestling will never be like this again.
Man, the Austin/Hart match along with the Shamrock suplex was such a monumental moment in WWE's history. I've always viewed it as one of the first key moments in their battle against WCW.
When Austin’s stardom really HITS. Top work my guy keep it up! Looking forward to Raw is War developing over the year.
Big bang
18:43 This bump cracks me up. Austin's foot getting snagged, him not wanting to fall directly on the steps with his back so he bends all weird. It's just glorious.
I saw it as Austin trying to sell the steps falling on the back of his leg. That didn’t happen but it looked like that was Austin’s goal there.
That Austin vs Bret Hart match… just got nothing else to say, truly awesome and epic, one of the best and one of my favorite matches ever. just one of the many reasons I love this era of wrestling.
And if HBK hadn't lost his smile, the match would never have happened.
One of the top 5 most important wrestling matches ever
The "No Mercy," music is a really nice touch. Well done.
In terms of wrestling, production and storytelling WM17 feels like it's 10 years later than 13. Crazy how much changed in just 4 years
Bret vs Austin at WrestleMania 13 was easily the match of the year if not the greatest match of all time!
Its what you get when 2 actual wrestlers put together a match, its something those AEW cosplay clowns who played in their backyard and do gymnastics routines are really missing
Marlena deserves credit for taking that bear hug spot. I've had a mate do that to me, it bloody well hurts! LOL
Been waiting for this all week!! Top notch series.. The comment from Farooq about the rope 🤣 😂. Zero F’s given from Farooq, his character was great..
Farooq was never the best promo, but you can tell Vince gave him full freedom as long as he stayed on topic
Love this. Since we’re at 1997, can you cover the slammy award 97? Maybe even 96?
He may already have one, man. You gotta deep dive some of his older content before "reliving the war" . He's covered just about every prominent wrestler or event. This dude has been my wrestling encyclopedia for a few years.
@@brophymusprime593 he’s has a lot of good content. I’m always watching reliving the war. I love every upload. I especially love reliving the war now because 1997 was the year I started watching wrestling.
These guys on unisquare have both of those... They're vintage wrestling zone
This Wrestlemania was for sure a 1 match show, with a couple others being decent as well. Austin Vs Bret is one of my favorite matches of all time, it could not have gone any better. Another thing is Ron Simmons, that dude was so under rated in my opinion, the guy was such an awesome worker. While the nation of domination is a memorable group, along with the APA, Simmons could have had a great solo run as well. In my opinion he was championship material.
Hey WB. I know you've said before that you believe that the W13 main events was initially going to be Bret vs Shawn and that nobody will change your mind on that, but I thought I would give it a try, and I'm not likely to get a better opportunity than this video any time soon so I may as well give it a go. Here are my reasons:
1. Whilst it is true that they seemed to be angling Bret vs Shawn. This was actually in line with Bret's character at the time having his matches interrupted. This was a trend way before Shawn lost his smile and I believe the originally booking was that Austin would've kept interrupting Bret v Shawn leading to them having the match as it was finally booked.
2. On the same Thursday RAW that Shawn lost his smile was also the debut of Stone Cold's silver jacket. They filmed the new Austin-centric Raw is War intro prior to this (where Austin is still wearing his old gear) suggesting that his push was well planted by this point.
3. Literally nobody else worked with Austin during this period and nobody was in a position to put him over other than Bret (except ironically Shawn himself). The WWF card leading up to Wrestlemania 13 consisted almost entirely of heels during this period. Bret was really the only option they had if they intended to babyface Austin.
4. You mention your disappointment at Owen v Bulldog didn't happen at W13 which seemed to be the intention. It seems odd that they seemed booked for a collision course having disagreements every night but then as soon as the European Tour started (after Shawn lost his smile) they breifly begin wroking well together again. The night following W13 on RAW they suddenly fight again only for it to be stopped by Bret as a set up for the Hart foundation. I think this was due to changes made due to Shawn losing his smile: Keep in mind the Undertaker was likely to forward his story with Paul Bearer (who was managing Vader and Mankind) who were supposed to have a fued that we know was called off for unspecified reasons.
Here's what I think happened when Shawn Lost His Smile;
I think initially the planned main event was going to be a Shawn vs Sycho Sid rematch. Don't mock it because it sounds boring, I think this is well within what Vince would've booked at the time. You also have to consider that they had used promos to undermine the lost two conflicts by insinuating that they had both (Shawn and Sid) done 'evil' actions and won unfairly at SS and RR. I suspect the final W13 match was to decide who would win without any cameras being used as weapons. After Shawn lost his smile, my guess is that the Undertaker was brought in as the replacement (the only other candidate being involved in the Royal Rumble being Vader). I think this resulted in the planned Undertaker vs Vader match (which probably would've involved Mankind in some capacity) being lost leading to the Bret and Owen angle being lessened so they could team up against Vader/Mankind. They only had the weeks after Shawn Lost His Smile to get some heat between Owen/Bulldog and Mankind/Vader and you can tell the whole thing was hastily planned.
Ultimatly though the Austin vs Bret match is just the clear tragectory for both men's storylines at that point and whatever evidence exists for Bret vs Shawn also works for that angle since the build-up consisted of Austin interrupting Bret's planned match-ups. There's also no reason for Bret not to face SId in the main event either - if they wanted it to go down that way. Really I think there's only one reason why people believe a Bret vs Michaels main event was on the cards and it's a meta-reason: Because they think Shawn was dodging Bret with his knee injury, but if you look at the actual booking there's really nothing to support it.
Anyway, thanks to anyone who read this diatribe. I appreciate it.
Wow actually that makes sense I agree with you
Well thought out, and does give merit to the opposing side. If Shawn never lost his smile, Maybe they would’ve done Austin vs Hart no matter what but had Shawn interfere in some fashion between their match
When we hear about "the plan" nowadays, it is mostly filtered down from the word of Meltzer, I'm sure it was the same then but there is a entire subculture of Internet rumour mills that are way bigger than they were back then. "The plan" didn't come from speculation from ominous sources, it was detailed by Bret in his book. A book which he started writing after he had left wwe, he had no interest in having to work anybody about what was going on, the rematch with HBK was the plan, and the programs with Austin and Sid were to (1) keep th busy before Mania, and (2) to be renewed after Mania so they can keep Hart and Michaels away from each other for a while to put it on probably at a big event like Summerslam. They kept Austin close to Bret's proximity because they stumbled on something they didn't know they were going to stumble on (Austin) and they wanted to make sure he stayed hot despite. I think Austin would have worked with Shamrock in a badass v badass match, Taker and Sid would have been a non title shindig while Hbk-Hart closed things.
Very interesting.
@@exquisitelemonade3039 what does left for the card itself ?
I really wish we had more time with heel Bret Hart going deep into the attitude era it seemed like he was better than ever in 97 imagine all the great moments he would've had
i'm 40 and i just had a little dance in my kitchen to that intro while i was alone haha
Austin stunning the ref for trying to help him up is what hooked me. I watched wrestling for years after because of that one spot.
Absolute match of my childhood/teenage years. Bret being my childhood hero and Austin being the coolest thing when I was a teen. Great coverage
I think it’s also worth mentioning that there were some injuries that played a factor in how the wrestlemania card lined up. I believe originally it was supposed to be Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart in a rematch?
However it’s hard to be too upset over that considering the match with Steve Austin made his career. Had that not happened there might be no stone cold era
I've literally just binge watched this all the way here and I'm honestly really bummed out that I have to wait for the new episodes 😂 damn you and your addicting content!
In the exact same situation 😭😭😭😭
Bret vs Steve in this ppv will always be my faverate match, the story they tell, so great
Yeah Wrestlemania 13 was when i became a mega fan of the WWF way back in 1997.I would have been 10-11 years old. I had been watching casually with my friends since the In Your House Final Four PPV, but Wrestlemania and the Austin vs Hart match was what sealed the deal for me.
With the exception of Hart Vs Austin this WrestleMania feels like an afterthought.
Agreed, but Bret-Austin was worth the price of admission.
And I'm an Undertaker mark so seeing him become champion again was cool.
@@TheSBleeder too
I love this Mania!! Maybe it's not great top to bottom like 17 or a few others but Hart v Austin is so damn great!! Even better than their survivor series showing a few months earlier and that itself is a masterpiece. Hart made wrestling so real even though people at that time were starting to understand it as a work. GOAT.
Me and my brother and my dad were there good times Bret Hart was my favorite wrestler 🤼♂️
The crowd turning on Rocky week after week was probably the best thing that’s ever happened to Dwayn Johnson
That's different, Rocky was getting bored
@@lexkanyima2195 not sure what you mean
@@terrasquad1134 he wad getting booed
Austin was and still is a once in a lifetime performer
Hope u continue this series to the very end I’m so intrigued to see how this really plays out you pretty much feel the same as I do with your picks and reviews it’s awesome to watch these as being Canadian I don’t recall ever switching channels as I remember raw was Monday and nitro was tues or weds in Canada on TSN so seeing this side by side is just awesome for me a huge thank you to what I believe is the best review series I ever seen
I watched some of 97 but really got into it in the run up to mania 14. Love the reliving the war series and look forward to it every week. Going back to this one later you really see the beginnings of what would make wrestling mainstream for the next few years.
As a 9 year old kid watching wrestling, I had a fear of blood and watching people bleed. I don’t why or how. The Bret vs Austin match was my worst nightmare come true! Especially how intense the story was getting at this point. So I avoided it. Only seeing clips on TV. After a several years later as a young adult watching it for the first time, I couldn’t get enough of the match. As an adult, it’s pure master class that only a hand full of matches can come close. It’s amazing to see how many people this match inspired.
Favourite content on TH-cam by a mile! Always look forward for the next uploads
Steve Austin vs Bret Hart is a master piece. The greatest wrestling match of all time in any company ever. This match along with the Austin 3:16 promo launched the biggest star in the history of the wrestling business.
This is such a strange time in the company's history. You've got some old school stuff still going on with guys from the early 90s, you've got new Attitude-style stuff going on, you've got stuff that fits in nowhere, you've got some of the all-time great stars and you've got people who were barely in the company, like Vader. Such an odd yet wonderful relic that instantly takes me back in high school.
Your attention to detail - coliseum video vs Network - is outstanding. I’m almost 40 and your videos are my sole wrestling fix. Thanks for doing what you do, really appreciate it.
This was the first Wrestlemania I ever got to see as it aired. It was a belated birthday present from my family who ordered it on ppv for me. While the overall show wasn’t perfect, this still holds a special place in my heart.
loving the no mercy background music!! i look forward to your uploads every week, this channel is so addicting!!
As an Undertaker fan, I enjoyed this match. Seeing him come out in the old school gray was cool
Great work! Super impressed with the consistency and quality of uploads.
I’ll stop conducting Horseman business to watch this. Super pumped. Let’s go!!
So many memories from this Wrestlemania. It was the first one I saw live and had so, so many fantastic and iconic matches. Plus, my boy 'Taker won the title (even though he didn't really need it, imo).
@Black Boy King TV maybe the tickets sales was not great.
@Black Boy King TV maybe it felt rushed for the tickets sales and the build up was almost thrown together
Really enjoyed watching the video thank you wrestling bios for making my Sunday fun
Watching the evolution of Goldust in this series has been so fun. At first it seemed like Dustin hated it, but he's really gotten into the character over time 😎
The way both men walked to the ring was brilliant!!! A baby face Bret would have started trading shots, with Ken Shamrock!! But being the heartless heel, he walks out the ring!! I am honored that this is my era of wrestling!! I was able to watch it live on P.P.V and watch everything unfold!!
Whenever Vince is on play-by-play, you know it's pre-Attitude era.
Brett's little sharpshooters 🤣😂🤣🤣
Straight up not going to lie, started tearing up during you retelling of the Bret/Austin match. So good
Great video upload cheers wrestling bios again ive got this wrestlemania 13 on tagged classics 👍
Taker coming out in his Old School costume was boss. I felt back at WM23 vs Batista, Taker should've came out in the Black & Purple attire
Still to this day, The Submission Match is still my favorite WrestleMania 13 match. :)
It might even be my favorite Bret Hart Wrestlemania 13 match.
@@TheSBleeder Definitely my favourite Bret Hart WrestleMania 13 match that took place in Chicago.
Awesome review buddy 💯 I enjoy watching both Reliving The War & Reliving The PPV 🤘 WrestleMania 13 is one of my all time favorite Manias Bret Vs Stone Cold was an instant classic and the WWF at this time was about to get a little attitude 😉 ... Keep making more awesome videos 😎
Your videos are always the best! I'm a huge fan.
Love the intros brother. Gets me pumped! Ohhhhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!
Love these blast from the past videos bud! Great work! Think u need to cut the headbangers a bit of slack though! Lol I actually quite liked them! 😂👌
thank you for posting these videos on Shawn Michaels he is why i got into watching wrestling in the first place what a legend
One of my favorite matches, Hart v Austin. I absolutely loved when The Hart Foundation was reformed, still remember Owen and Davey about to fight, and Bret came down and told them he needed them, they became heels in America, but face everywhere else. I thought it was amazing at the time.
The Submission match was incredible and was match of the night in my opinion. The double turn.
It was the only real WM status match on the card.
@@martynodonnell8467 if only the tag title match had a better finish it would be a great wrestlemania match as well. As it is it’s the second best match on the card and there’s no way it could have ever topped Bret-Austin, but I forgot how scant this card was. I guess they went the opposite way from WCW’s 3 minute matches, but they could do with a few shorter matches to break up the card a little bit better.
@@martynodonnell8467 Harsh man
@@zemox2534 it’s not really TBH IMO. Every other match could have taken place at any other PPV. Including the title match. There are no real classics, outside of the submission match.
I mean seriously how awesome it is to get a chance to kick ass in the ring with you dad . Probably a huge proud moment for both rock and rocky.
Look at Steve's selling he was one of a kind I mean just falling over selling his legs and the knees after Brett took it to him. Brilliant
Shamrock in the tracksuit looks like a low level associate of the Soprano family
I remember watching this as a kid it was amazing n we are always in the year or the screw job can't wait things a heating up another amazing video keep up the amazing work n thank you for doing this for us
Man, that Hart vs. Austin match was epic. Great analysis.
Owen and Davey, sooooo talented. How many PPv's did Brett rescue!
Bret passed the torch to a man that respected him, he clearly did with Austin what he would have done for Shawn had egos not got in the way
I would say he did pass the torch at WM 12 when he dropped the belt to Shawn. Shawn just wouldn't allow a true rivalry between the two where they would both do the job for each other over the foreseeable future. Its a shame. The Austin/Bret rivalry shows what is possible when two people respect each other and are willing to work professionally with each other. Austin didn't have to win any matches with Bret to elevate himself as a star and a performer.
@@jordanwinter2510 Shawn didn't really want to put Austin over either when it was time too,by the time he returned in 2002/03 he was a different man, although when he put over Hogan in 05, he kinda got the same treatment that he dished out in the 90s
Another great video, sir.
Only just discovered this channel and I LOVE IT 💪🤙
Thank you for having the video at 60FPS.
This is the one I was waiting for! I was in attendance. Got the tickets for my 11th birthday.
Fun fact: the Austin v Bret match at SS 96 was also billed as a submission match, right through the first few minutes but it seems both competitors forgot or changed their minds lol
I remember that.
Might have been a really late audible.
Austin wasn't a submission wrestler; the match at Wrestlemania 13 relied on a lot of brawling.
WMXI Bret vs Backlund was suppose to be an "I Quit" Match. It turned out to be Aggghh, Yaaahhh, Uggghhh!
Everytime I hear this theme and watch video's from this era...Pure NOSTALGIA!! brings me back to my childhood !
I was watching WWF from 85-93 then I started watching wcw up until this rivalry with Austin and Hart rivalry which brought me back. Their wm13 match is my favorite wrestlemania match ever.
Great video!! Great Chanel! Love it
Happy Halloween everyone 🎃
Another awesome upload from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet. A good WM and a pivotal PPV. The double turn and the submission match being the stand outs of the night. This was the true main event and draw for WM13. The Undertaker VS Sid match was very lacklustre and not exactly WM main event quality.
It should have been the last match
@wrestling bios thanks for making this masterpiece 😊😊😊🥰🥰
Love 💕 your reviews mate🙌👏👍
That Chicago Street fight is legendary! Oh yeah and I guess that Brett Hart stone cold match was OK too
