I was gonna argue how Rock never had as good a promo as that but, though I'm an Austin mark, I can't bare to diss another legit GOAT contender.



Just watching this is crazy. Two of the absolute best at one time and lord knows it took years later to realize how special moments like that were (even though it was off air). We may get another transcending superstar one day but we'll never get two at the same time like Austin/Rock again IMO.

:wow::wow::wow::mjcry::mjcry::mjcry:
What a time to be alive. These were the good ol days

I remember my grandma wanted to change the channel over that :dead:

I guess your grandma wanted you to waste money because Austin cut that promo on a PPV (Mind Games Sept. '96)



LOL @ this whole segment

Pillman: "Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves because the birthplace of freedom has become a cesspool of drug abuse, battered women, and welfare recipients"

Owen: "The last few months Bret has started to accept that I truly am the best Hart. He's getting older, he's getting slower, he's not the technical wrestler he once was and he's finally admitted that I truly am the best there is, was, and ever will be"

Austin: "The bottom line is when Stone Cold's in the house, Bret Hart is at his house because he's scared of Stone Cold"

" As soon as I rolled into the WWF, Bret Hart you packed you bags and took your carcass back to Canada"

Pillman: "Are you trying to say Bret Hart's a chicken?"

Austin: "Bret Hart don't even qualify as being a chicken, he's the slimy substance that runs out of the south end of a chicken"

"Let me make myself clear, if you put the letter S in front of Hitman you've had my exact opinion of Bret Hart"

"And that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so"

Pillman: "And Philadelphia sucks because I said so"

:mjlol:

This was great stuff.

Bret comes out and whines then 'quits' and leaves through the crowd.

Austin comes out and starts cutting a promo on Bret

"Ever since you came back you ain't done nuthin' but cry"

"When the going gets tough, the Harts get going.....back home"

"Go on back to Canada son, because the only person you can possibly beat is your wrinkled up old man in his little old basement"

:mjlol:

This is when the attitude era really started in my mind.

late 96 is a mad underrated time in 'E history

Yeah, they had some good feuds going with Bret/Austin, Shawn/Sid, and Taker/Mankind and although Bret and Shawn weren't in a direct feud they were still sniping at each other at every opportunity. Things were starting to get edgier as well (Pillman's got a gun), it was the cusp of the Attitude Era.

I'm telling you man, Austin's late 96 run was "it's still real to me dammit" for real. I thought dude was gonna flat out beat the shyt outta Bret just due to how reckless and aggressive he came across


That promo is aging amazingly because it was simple, direct and believable. ..



-P-

Man, he was so good. He used to do shyt like attack the off-screen camera man for counting his promo down...

"And you can stop counting me down, because I dun told you."

There was one where his mic wasn't working properly and he adlibbed some shyt like, "are you going to give me a piece of equipment that works or am I going to have to whup your ass" then cut a promo about Bret having a "yellow stripe running down the middle of his back."

Incredible stuff man.
