One WWE Match You MUST Watch From Every Year 1984-2024
27. 1997 - Hart Family Vs Steve Austin, Ken Shamrock, LOD & Goldust, In Your House: Canadian Stampede
A perfect encapsulation of the landscape of a WWE in necessary transition, the epic saga between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Hart Family hit Canada for a role reversal of the reactions that were driving the company back to the promised land.
Breathless in its action and impeccable in its design, the brawl was yet another elevation of Austin as WWE's first true globally renown money-drawing act since the Hulkamania era even as it seamlessly shifted him towards Owen Hart and away from Bret in order to push 'The Hitman' back into title contention. A Sports Entertainment/Pro Wrestling masterpiece like few others every promoted by the market leader.
