Bret Hart "snapping" promo appreciation thread

[3Rivers]

I remember being watching this live as a kid. It had everything


-Bret going off at the injustice
-Bret pushing Vince over(Was that the first time a wrestler put their hands on Vince?)
-Austin and Bret dueling promos
-"And if you don't like it, TOUGH shyt!"
-Sid not knowing shyt:sidheh:
-Bret tagging Pat Patterson with Vince calling him a "dirty, rotten, son of a..."
-HBK walking out looking high as fukk



I still break out the occasional "FRUSTRATED ISN'T THE GODDAMN WORD FOR IT! THIS IS BULLshyt!"

Sid's response has me everytime though. Shawn coming out for no reason other than to grab a chair

This is what I miss most, when you got like 4-5 dudes all beefing at once.

So much fukkery in one place.

Do we consider this the start of the attitude era?

That dude looked so high and clueless as to why he was out there

I personally do think it started around this time. I know alot think it was the following year after Austin won the strap, but to me it was in full stride by then.

I think the Attitude era kicked off in late '96.

Wow that moment was so confusing

Vince acting like HBK was about to align with the NWO or some shyt. Wtf was going on and what followed it?

 

[Swiggy]

Lawd... it was just too real for me to appreciate. My hero, my GOAT was disintegrating before my eyes...

Had me sniffling like a biych, on some Padme shyt like "Annie, what's wrong with you?".

So real, my nikka sold it so well, that he had me hate Vince to the point that I sought refuge in wcw for the first time ever.

After current champion Shawn Michaels relinquished the belt, though, the match officially became one for the WWF Championship. Hart defeated Austin, Vader, and The Undertaker in the Fatal Four-Way.[96][97] However, Austin made sure Hart's fourth reign was short-lived, costing him a title match against Sid the next night on Raw, and making it the only reign of Hart's to last less than three months.[98] Hart challenged for Sid's WWF Championship in a steel cage match shortly before WrestleMania 13 (Hart's twelfth consecutive and final WrestleMania until WrestleMania XXVI), which saw Austin actually attempt to help Hart win, in order to make their scheduled match at WrestleMania 13 a title match. Concurrently, The Undertaker, who had a scheduled title match with Sid at WrestleMania, attempted to help Sid win. Sid ultimately retained, leading to a pure grudge match for Hart and Austin.[99] Following his loss to Sid, Hart shoved "announcer" Vince McMahon to the ground when he attempted to conduct a post-match interview, and engaged in an worked shoot, expletive-laden rant against McMahon and WWF management. This incident has been cited as one which helped lay the foundations of the WWF's Attitude Era, as well as the starting point of McMahon's on-air character, the tyrannical WWF owner Mr. McMahon.[100]
