Ranking What Was Really The Best Wrestling Entrance Every Year 1990-2021

25. 1997 - Hart Foundation, WWF In Your House: Canadian Stampede

Austin Omega
WWE Network

No monstrosity of a hybrid mash-up theme.

No posed entrance the same as it looked in the last town.

No soulless work-for-the-hard-camera bullsh*t.

The Hart Foundation were superstar heroes in their native Canada, and this glorious bespoke entrance milked that stupendously. Ahead of their clash against a squad of dastardly yanks led by Stone Cold Steve Austin, they took to the stage separately as a beloved unit made up of stars in their own right. This was such an astute decision. They weren't Bret's guys, though he headlined to a mega-pop. They were heroes to a man, shining brighter with every second of adulation. While innovative and booked with chef's kiss intricacy, the WWF of 1997 was barren of stars.

This awesome scene obscured that with deliberate precision brilliance.
