Bret Hart, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart & Brian Pillman vs Steve Austin, Legion of Doom, Ken Shamrock & Goldust (WWF, 7-6-1997)

WWF In Your House: Canadian Stampede, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A request! The Hart Foundation are back in Calgary for one of the greatest receptions in pro wrestling history. The Austin side is a mish-mash of Guys, but the only one that really matters is Austin and his ongoing war. The other four could have been anyone.

(Requests open and tips always appreciated!)

Royal Rumble Match (WWF, 1-18-1998)

WWF Royal Rumble, San Jose, CA

Got a Ko-fi request for any Royal Rumble match, dealer’s choice. I’d only ever reviewed for the site the ’92 Rumble, which is the best one and any other argument is deeply wrong, I’m sorry you’re not as old as I am if you disagree, on the plus side you will live longer, on the … minus side the world you are left with looks like it will be dogshit.

Anyway, I, as the dealer, put four options to the world for seven minutes.

7 minute poll vote hard, vote fast, vote with your heart and mind

So here we are!

Ken Shamrock vs Sami Callihan (Impact, 4-21-2020)

Impact Wrestling Rebellion, Nashville, TN

This match is UNSANCTIONED! Some nonsense about Sami Callihan being a disrespectful hacker when Ken Shamrock was named the newest member of the Impact Hall of Fame.

Ken Shamrock vs Owen Hart (WWF, 8-30-1998)

WWF SummerSlam, New York, NY

Well, I did the DUNGEON MATCH from Fully Loaded ’98 earlier, and that remains super fun, so let’s add in the LION’S DEN MATCH from the following month’s SummerSlam.

Ken Shamrock vs Owen Hart (WWF, 7-26-1998)

WWF Fully Loaded, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Fully Loaded was actually in Fresno, but this match was taped in Calgary at the Hart Family Dungeon, aka Stu Hart’s basement.

Ken Shamrock vs Vader (WWF, 5-11-1997)

WWF In Your House: A Cold Day in Hell, Richmond, VA

This is a request via Ko-fi. Vader had become something of a gatekeeper and this was a gatekeeper match, with Shamrock new to the WWF, making his official WWF debut here after having an exhibition on RAW with Vernon White about a month before this match. The week before this, Shamrock did commentary on a Vader match, Vader called him out after, and they rolled around a little bit. Then earlier in the night on this show, Vader and Mankind attacked Shamrock. This is a submission or KO match.

The Undertaker vs Ken Shamrock (WWF, 4-25-1999)

WWF Backlash: In Your House, Providence, RI

Ken Shamrock and his sister Ryan were always being harassed by The Undertaker and his Ministry of Darkness, so that’s why we have this match. Shamrock wants to fuck Undertaker up but good.
