Yeah, unless you were in a tag team or stable, everyone hated each other. They all wanted the championship. Nowadays all the top guys are too buddy buddy.
"Think about it like this Bret. You can finally go home....look yourself in the mirror....and get a little peace of mind because you will know you were indeed beat..by a real man" Heel promo 101. How to shit on the two biggest babyfaces in the company in three sentences or less. LIKE A BOSS
"When the bell brings and it's time to get down to business, I'm going to take 7 years of frustration and being pissed off right out on your ass." Most underrated part of the promo. It really made you feel that Austin was out there to hurt Bret, and hurt him pretty bad. Perhaps torment him. Say what you want, this for me is the most hyped up match in Bret's entire career. Not vs Bulldog for the intercontinental title, not vs Shawn at Wrestlemania for the world title, and not vs the monstrous likes of Yokozuna or Diesel. This, this right here was so well done that it made you believe that Bret could probably breathe his last. Everything about this, the location, the barking dogs, the black and white texture, the tone and expression, the rod, and the plain font at the end, every little element feels so well thought and hence it resulted in a masterpiece of a promo. There is no flaw. Damn right, I'd rather be in the ring with Ministry Undertaker, than be with Austin after watching this clip.
This is the best promo video I've ever seen. This was the best version of Stone Cold. It is as authentic as it gets. He watered his character down alot during 1998 - 1999
This is heel Austin who was trying to make the fans hate him by cheap tactics but and I still remember him shoving off a fan who cheered him at survivor series 97 but b/c of so much cheering of the fans he was converted into an anti-hero. Nothing else
Yeah I noticed it. When they moved to spike tv I didn't like his character as much. WWE/f ruined some great characters. They should of stayed the same like the undertaker's. Kane was another one they demolished.
@UCApTlADrJUsj5fGfX2aXf9g you're a moron. Just because you would like everything in your life to stay exactly the same forever does not mean that's how a majority of people feel. And guess what? The WWF/E is a business, which means they're in the business of making money, and they made a lot of it during 1998-99 when SCSA was the anti-hero..... because you have to adapt with the times if you want to stay in business for a long time. How about you go start your own wrestling promotion and keep all of your wrestler's gimmicks exactly the same for years and years, decades and decades and let's see if people keep tuning in and keep buying tickets to see the exact same ol' crap over and over. Obviously Vince McMahon knew what he was doing since his company was the sole survivor.
"Sunglasses and sparklers. What a load of crap!" "If you put the letter S in front of hitman you have my exact opinion of Bret Hart!" To think that Bret and Austin had 3 high profile matches which stone cold lost in all 3 and it doesn't matter. Let see roman stains cut a promo like this
@@four321zero yes, 3 matches. Survivor Series 96, Wrestlemania 13 and in your house: revenge of the taker(which Austin actually won via dq but to me is a loss cause he didn't pin Bret). I'm not including special stipulation matches like the royal rumble 97, in your house: Canadian Stampede, in your house: final four ppv's or even the street fight on Monday night raw(which Austin also won by beating Bret so bad he needed an ambulance and then Austin again beat Bret up in the ambulance but again, no pinfall win) or even some house shows which featured the 2 before Survivor Series. Bret, in my opinion, never put Austin over properly but to my original point, it didn't matter cause no matter what we all know that Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!
i wouldnt use psychopath but then again im probably on the opposite side of the fence when it comes to it.. pissed off redneck who likes to fight would be seen as psychopath other than the south so maybe ur right
THE GREATEST PROMO I EVER SAW IN WWF HISTORY!!! I COULDN'T AGREE MORE, STONE COLD WAS A GANGSTER AND A REAL GROWN-ASS MAN. THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!!! 💪💪💪💪💪
They should sit everybody in NXT down and have them listen to this as a lesson on how to get fans to care about matches. ‘96 - ‘97 Stone Cold promos are still great in 2021. They should bring him on to teach these guys how to talk and act like what they’re supposed to be.
@@captainram5259 nah. Five or however number of Canadian Destroyers in a single match and I still don't care for Cole or Ciampa. Yeah, they work their asses off but they don't jump off the page or compel me watch.
Im not ashamed to admit as a 15 year old i would walk around school quoting this with my mates...im 36 now and having found this recently again im doing it as a grown man! My girlfriend most days keeps asking me, why do you keep bellowing "and you will know you were indeed beat by a real man" fckin awesome the attitude era.
People are focused on the, "I ain't no sexy boy/I don't dance son" line, but the "you were indeed beaten by a real man" line was the killing blow. He literally does not see HBK as a man and even more disgusted at Bret for losing to someone like that. That is hilarious, and badass at the same time lmao. I'd go quoting Stone cold telling people that I was gonna stomp a mud hole in them, and walk it dry 😂
this era of austin is the perfect heel wrestler.. of any era.. nobody ever has done it better than he did.. imagine if he could have really turned loose and not had to hold back
This promo is so special....it wasnt just Bret Hart facing a promising rising star....that music in the end - it promises a new dawn...a dawn of something more...attitudinal .
You can see how edgy this promo was and what a turn the WWF was about to make into the attitude era. Such a raw feel to this promo. One might even say with the fast cuts and black and white editing...it may of been influenced by those guys down south and the nWo at the time. Hmm. And btw I just farted
@@four321zero Bro he deadass said, "get a little peace of mind because you will know you were indeed beaten, by a real man." That cut deeper than any of the insults in the whole promo lmao 🤣
I remember this rivalry well! Even at this point I knew wrestling was predetermined but this was one of those rivalries that you think there is now way this guys hate each others guts. Cool to see how much they both appreciated each other’s contributions to the rivalry all these years later
What surprises me everytime is how much he changed. From 1989-1995 He had that long hair, and women around him and Hollywood Blondes team and all. Then he comes out as a intense bald man as Stone Cold Steve Austin... Completely unrecognisable.

Well it never made sense that *Stone Cold* was a technical workrate wrestler in 96 and 97 anyways. The neck injury changed his style for the better.
