Of course the HBK hater comes through with false and biased opinions.#fakenews.
97 HBGOAT was untouchable.

HBK from HIAC -WM14 is the most swagged out Main Event heel in WWF History. Still have guys like Rollins and Ziggler trying to recreate elements of that heel run over the years. Jericho also talks about the influence of HBK on his career, and I specifically recall him mentioning the smug/cocky heel era in ‘97 during a program with Shamrock.
And didn’t Meltz give HIAC a 5 star rating?

Ive always credited HBK’s 1997 and purposely pissing off Vince on tv as just as much of a catalyst for the Attitude Era as anything that came after.

HBGOAT was on fire that year changed the wrasslin business forever

One of my school friends hated the GOAT and was furious week after week

Yes, Meltzer gave the HIAC match 5 stars, he also gave Bret/Austin from WM13 a 5 stars rating.

HBK outdrew Bret in 96 and 97 as well Wrestlemania 14 with no bret and had Austin vs HBK outdrew Wrestlemania 13 with no HBK and had Austin vs Bret 730,000 to 237,000 buys
