He does become an authority figure the next night but doesn’t turn heel until shortly before WrestleMania when he tells Kevin Kelly “Hell No!l when Kelly asks him if he wants to see Austin win the title.
Was this before Jeff Jarrett went to WCW or after because I know he came back I didn't know he had returned to WWE I remember he was in the four horsemen for a short time I can't remember
As much as I'm not a huge fan of the character, Jarrett only ever clicked with me on a visual stance when he started being the women-hating "Slapnuts" character in WWF. Also, not sure what podcast it was I heard it from, but I cannot ever look at Jeff again without thinking he looks like Gordon Ramsey's stunt double.
Fun Fact: We Ordered this PPV from my Local Cable Station and we didn't know but we were put into a drawing and we ended up winning a T-Shirt.... We got a size Medium Golddust T-shirt....Best Oil Rag we ever had. lol
This is the best DX attire Shawn Michaels has ever worn. I know there's WrestleMania XIV attire but that was okay, but the IYH DX attire is the best one.
@@tempestfennac9687 The IC title match was the best of the night. Followed by the main event. The boot camp match was ok at best. Good enough for third best
@@TheGillenium I felt the IC Title match was too short to really get good (presumably it was due to Austin's neck so I can't really blame anyone for this).
Slaughter was one of the good old-school guys who knows to help younger talent get over. Triple H wasn't quite ready for the main event, but having HHH feud with a former World champion would be great for his credibility, even if its a former World champion past his prime.
@@jamiepasquariello2652 true but it was 2 wwf generations later, the wrestling landscape was way different so it felt like a much longer time had passed as the product had changed so much. also time seems to go more slowly when you're a kid watching this stuff i suppose.
HBK's DX attire was enough reason for me to buy the action figure version of it via a pre-order before people started overcharging for that figure on eBay.
We didn't know it at the time but Vince was just indulging in a bit of post modern interpretive booking with the gang wars stuff. He was trying to make a point about the pointless futility of gang violence. It was a point well made.
What an interesting and unique perspective. Ive never even thought about that before. I think my white privilege may be to blame. I was lucky to grow up rurally. I still remember my fear of the big city of Fresno nearby because I'd been warned about gangs. But, gang violence only touched my life once until I moved to a more populated area. Thank you for sharing. May I ask, what groups/wrestlers/angles are the most obvious gang allegories from the wwe? How do these differ from the more racist things they've done? Is there a difference? Thanks again.
And then he would go on to make The Ministry, The Corporation, Team R.E.C.K(rhyno,edge,christian & kurt), Too Cool, The Radicalz, the J.O.B Squad, The Brood, PMS, T & A and X Factor.... Showing the duality of the McMahon mentality and not at all Vince pulling teams and stables out of his ass without thinking about it at all 😆
At the time, wcw Starrcade was the only ppv I was allowed to buy for the month, snapping a streak of 16 consecutive wwf ppv's. I always knew that with dx in retrospect I didn't miss out on anything.
Praise Sky Sports. Starting with IYH14 Revenge of the Taker, we got all WWF PPV In the UK. Ironically back then the only ones we had to buy were the UK shows
Love the Sunday night WB upload but it's bittersweet... God tier viewing but one of last things I watch before it's back to chinlocking the 9-5 on Monday
You know it was always weird to me. The episode of RAW were LOD won the tag titles from the Godwins, it was supposed to be them proving that they still had it and were not past their prime. Then just a few weeks after, the story is that they are past their prime and they need to step aside for younger and fresher tag teams.
Love the channel brother. I ain’t watched any wrestling since the attitude era etc. And was a major WCW over wwf guy growing up when WCW came out hard. But when they died out I did go full wwf. just have to say thank you for all the walks back to memory lane. For real. Good times in life 🤘🏻
With Owen attacking Shawn Michaels at the end of the show, I’m surprised they didn’t have Owen challenge him for the title at the next PPV. Looks like he was getting over as The Black Hart.
I don't know, Shawn and Undertaker had the hottest fued in the entire business at the time and it was all leading up to crowning Steve Austin at WM 14. Owen was a great, great worker but he just wasn't a top guy in the United States.
It is kind of crazy how none of the ppvs named after Stars or groups work out. This, Souled Out, and 98s Rock Bottom all leave a lot to be desired and hell, Vader wasn't even booked on IYH: It's Time and that's his catchphrase. The first Rock/Austin ppv outing, little did we know how fun the rivalry between the 2 would be and I think this is a food start to their long running feud.
Canadian Stampede was centered around the Hart Foundation, and was one of the best PPVs of 1997. It was named Canadian Stampede to pay tribute to the Stampede Wrestling promotion that was started by Stu Hart and in which Hart Foundation members Bret, Owen, Davey Boy, and Pillman spent their early years. And of course because it took place in Canada.
After this, it's officially Rumble season, when everything REALLY explodes for WWF. Can't remember when exactly we started hearing the Tyson rumors, but I remember that's when me and about 10 million other people started paying attention.
So that must’ve been when the big turning point in the ratings war was then. Sorry I didn’t grow up with this I was born in 2001. I know a little abt the mike Tyson stuff but not much
@@tylercox1875 Technically the turning point is a couple weeks after Mania 14 where Austin wins the belt, but the hype was all driven by the Tyson angle. It's really the most perfect use of a non-wrestler celebrity in the history of the business.
Taka's springboard plunger is so insane, so much height and distance! Always impressive~ Austin's brawling with the Rock was awesome, really good fun, Also enjoyed the Slaughter and HHH match, surprisingly entertaining.
Loved your remix for this one!! My favourite match of the night was the IC title match, especially when the truck was used in the match against the NOD!!
This is the one channel I ALWAYS hit the like button as soon as I open a video because I know for a FACT it will be quality content every time. You absolutely have the jam sir 💯
I won 3rd row tickets from a local radio station for winning a costume contest where I dressed as Raven. During the Butter Bean match, the top of the broken stool rolled into the barrier and I ran up there and took it. Young teenage Chad that that made me famous lol. Thanks for covering this, I've been looking forward to it
For me as 7 year old kid it was the coolest looking pvv Set from wwf up to this point 😎 Tranks a lot for your great work ! and the Joy to reiive all that good memorys ^^
So this is it, I've finally caught up to the weekly uploads. I'm both happy and sad, as it's been fantastic binging many episodes in a row. Love this series so much!
I'm from Springfield, Massachusetts, & was at this PPV for My 22nd Birthday, & the GOLDUST PROMO with the DR. SEUSS, is because DR. SUESS was born, & raised in Springfield, Massachusetts, & G.D. reading the "GREEN "EGGS & HAM" was PURE HEAT! I'm actually surprised that was lost on Our Host here! He's usually AMAZING with the research! I STILL live in Springfield, as a matter of fact, I live about 5 minutes from this building, & the street (Mulberry) & House where Theodore Guiesel (Dr. Suess) grew up, & penned His first book "TO THINK I LEARNED IT ON MULBERRY STREET"
Rock vs Austin.. greatest rivalry ever💯 the three Mania matches they had are so iconic that i forget about the matches they had before they became main event guys
Thanks for showing all the ppv and raw i missed when Brett left wwf. i knew i didn't miss much lol dx never impressed me as much as the nwo did. it's still funny to see that dx is now running wwe.
It's interesting, because DX and the NWO were essentially both splinter groups of The Kliq; Shawn and Hunter in the WWF, Nash and Hall (with Hogan) in the WCW. Hah, now that I think of it, Shawn actually alluded to this in a promo addressing Brett, saying something like "Don't confuse expansion with separation" or something to that effect.
I was at this show! I was like 8 and had floor seats and Owen Hart ran down our aisle. I remember a guy patting him on the back as he ran by and freaking out that he touched Owen lol. Also, Dr. Seuss is from Springfield, MA so there's the significance of that. Though I'm sure you already know. Awesome vid!
This was my first wrestling show I ever saw as a kid our my brother brought me to the show for a Christmas present and I’ve been hooked ever since the pyros were a little scary as a 4th grader not to mention Kane but it was one of the most important nights of my life and I am soo greatfull to have attended it
I can't say enough good things about all the pre-match shenanigans to the New Age Outlaws vs Road Warriors match. I'm watching these shows alongside Wrestling Bios, and the way the Outlaws kept trying to dodge the fight, coupled with Road Dogg's running commentary and smack talk, had me in stitches. This segment was a great example of how pro wrestling is more than just the in-ring action, that the angles before and after a match can really elevate it and make it much more entertaining.
Those shots to the face from Owen looked pretty damn stiff though, and Shawn had a little trickle of blood dripping from his nose afterward. I can't blame Owen for throwing a few potatoes in that situation.
I was never a Brian Christopher fan but have always cheered the Japanese Wrestlers when they are here on our soil. I hope they do the same for our guys when on their turf.
28:05 Am I the only one to notice that Ken Shamrocks arm is completely transparent and cut off at the shoulder... You can even see Shawn's face through where Ken's arm should be... "It's the question that drives us Neo"
25:22 Fun fact, when me and my Brother watched this in 2006 back in the day when WWE 24/7 Classics on Demand was a thing. We would quote this on the regular. 🤣
Question: Why do you like the concept of faction PPVs? As you say yourself in the Shawn Michaels vs Ken Shamrock match: you knew Shamrock wasn’t going to win (clean) in a DX PPV. So what good can come from those matches? The outcome is already pretty much set to the big matches. Hence why no one bothers to watch them.
only thing i remember from this was Stone Cold stunning D-Lo on the truck 😂 and man The Rock had ALL the heat 😂😂 and the beat of the Nation theme song allowed for fans to chant "rocky sucks" in unison 🤣🤣
I remember watching this show and the only thing I really remember from this show was the light heavyweight title match the Austin vs rock match with Austin stunning dlow brown on the front part of the truck. And I also remember that weird goldust green eggs and ham segment and Owen hart attacking Shawn Michaels after the Ken shamrock vs Shawn Michaels wwf title match.

I remember this as his default attire on the WWF Warzone game.
This might be the best attire Shawn wore in a career full of memorable ones
My favorite as well
Props to Sarge for being game enough to bump around like that.

You living in a wheelchair now!
Despite how lackluster this show was, it was the debut of my favorite HBK gear.
Optimism is beautful. You must be delightful to talk with. Bet you could help even Bret reframe his wwf exit to be more positive.
His outfits from 95-WM-14 are all swaggy. He was one of the first swagged out wrestlers in his era!
@@jamesduckery hell yeah ... his cowboy chaps in 2005 are a huge downgrade

@@antmaster360 awesome. Mine has the DX packaging at least.
Another great video. The difference between NWO Souled Out and The D-Generation PPVs is that WWF had Steve Austin and the Rock in their stable.
Brian Christopher was such an underrated heel, wish WWE did more with him.
Brian's random laughs no matter which gimmick he was doing always killed me
They did lol. Too Cool and Rikishi were an awesome team during the attitude era
It was those damned drug issues he had.
Slaughter's corner bump is a thing of beauty and needs to be stolen by someone.
Claudio did that in WWE and messed up his tooth. I don't think anybody has done it since then. But people like Dolph used to always do that too

I would have liked to see Tanka in the WCW cruiserweight division, him vs Juve, Ray, Ultramo Dragon etc would be amazing

The highlight of the show was the commentary for the lightheavyweight tite. The jokes JR made about Brian being the "son" of King were hilarious.
Sarge's corner bump always looked so cool, especially when he was in his prime.
Intro mix was fire
Pretty cool seeing sarg bump at 49. Makes me want to go back and watch him 15 years before
that shawn michaels DX attire hits different 👌🏾
I was at this event. It was lacklustre . The light heavyweight title match was the best thing they had going 😂
This is my favorite HBK ring gear 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
