10 Greatest WWE Pay-Per-Views Of The '90s
6. In Your House: Canadian Stampede
The lone In Your House to appear on the list, Canadian Stampede took place in the heart of Hart Foundation country at the Calgary Saddledome. Featuring only four matches, the July '97 In Your House far surpassed the low expectations heading into the event.
Mankind and Hunter Hearst Helmsley opened the show with a double countout, but continued to brawl all over the arena (and to the outside) throughout the rest of the evening. The Great Sasuke handed Taka Michinoku a rare defeat, and The Undertaker defeated Vader, retaining the WWF Championship.
The originally scheduled title match for Canadian Stampede was The Undertaker vs. the newly-turned heel Ahmed Johnson, but another ill-timed injury for Ahmed saw Vader plugged into his spot.
Throughout the entire show, the Canadian crowd was perhaps the most energetic crowd in history, culminating with the main event that featured the USA vs. Canada; Steve Austin, Ken Shamrock, Legion of Doom, & Goldust vs. Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Jim Neidhart, and Brian Pillman.
It is now a bittersweet moment knowing what would come after, but following Owen rolling up Austin for the win, the entire Hart family gathered inside the ring to celebrate the victory in what would prove to be the Hart Foundation's last hurrah.
