oh shyt

Austin sneaking em during the anthem

 

[BrehWyatt]

and WWE still brags to this day

"did you know WWE had more likes on Facebook than Kanye West last week?"

"did you know Monday Night Raw had better ratings than game 3 of the NHL playoffs last week?"

But the difference is that I believed them in 1997.

 

[BrehWyatt]

Bret legit could have ran for and won Prime Minister of Canada at this time

The beauty of it? His promo told no lies.

 

[2CT]

Bret leaving for WCW caused us to miss out on more dope Bret/Stone Cold matches

all the matches they had were good, we needed more

 

[StarClout]

This match was good but suffered from “WCW Cruiserweight Match Commentary Syndrome”, where the announcers call everything BUT the actual match in the ring. WWE didn’t have a Mike Tenay who who knew this division extensively that they could call to the booth to commentate on these matches

 

[2CT]

[LastManStanding]

good match

 

[StarClout]

That coming up next theme before Bearer... is it a Network edit, or did y’all hear it on the Taima channel?

It plays all through August instead of Thorn In Your Eye

 

[richaveli83]

Paul Bearer!

I heard it too. I don't remember hearing it in 1997. Maybe it was added.

 

[LastManStanding]

Owen's Slammy's

 

[StarClout]

That signature intro again

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Stone cold said he ain’t above punching nobody’s lights out and it was authentic. It sounded authentic coming out of his mouth. In the scripted promos today they would’ve used a bunch of school words to say the same thing in a less badass way
