00:04This Colt Tech is scheduled for one fall.
00:08About to come down the aisle from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
00:13Highing 234 pounds,
00:16Rack Hitson Heart.
00:51Highing 234 pounds,
01:22You're out of here.
01:23Gorilla Monsoon is making sure that Owen Hark and the Bulldog are not at ringside.
01:31What's the meaning to that, McMahon?
01:34You don't do this to the Hark.
01:35And Owen and Bulldog don't like it.
01:38So cold, my brother can beat you without us.
01:43Owen just wants to watch his brother's back.
01:46We wonder what kind of condition The Undertaker would be in when he came out
01:50to defend the title after suffering those burns.
01:53We found out what kind of condition is Stone Cold gonna be in now.
01:57When Stone Cold comes out after what we saw earlier, or
02:01actually didn't see from the men's room.
02:03Well, I think we're gonna find out.
02:07Tell you what, he is a gameless SOB.
02:10No doubt about that in the history of the WWF.
02:13He's here to fight, simple as that.
02:16Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
02:23He is not a robot.
02:25No, he's not.
02:35Here we go, starting just as you might suspect at one.
02:39Look at those fists fly.
02:41Look at them fly.
02:43Austin and Bret Hart getting it on.
02:49I think Bret can out wrestle Austin, but I don't think Bret can out fight Stone Cold.
02:58Stone Cold Steve Austin with Bret Hart sets him up.
03:01Stone Cold climbs the elbow to the chest.
03:05It's a war just like they said it would be.
03:07Both men in tip top condition.
03:13Stone Cold, some time ago suffering a knee injury.
03:16Obviously right back in tip top shape.
03:18It didn't take him long to get back in form.
03:21Uh-oh, whoa.
03:29Nothing fancy about Stone Cold Steve Austin.
03:34It looks like he's back in tip top form from that restroom injury he just suffered.
03:39I don't see any ill effects from it.
03:40Who knows what it took out of him.
03:41Yeah, and the Bulldog, we found out they celebrate in the men's room.
03:48Their attitude belongs in the toilet.
03:51No toilet humor now, Ross.
03:58What's this?
03:58Off and set up, no.
04:00My gosh.
04:06We've just been informed that Paul Bearer is writhing in pain.
04:14And EMT is currently working on Paul Bearer.
04:20We'll try and get a camera back there if we can for a while to.
04:25And bring you as much information as we can as now you see Stone Cold mocking Bret Hart.
04:30It's not very sportsmanlike.
04:32No, it's not, but Stone Cold is not very sportsmanlike.
04:35No.
04:36My God.
04:37Who in the hell ever said Stone Cold was a great guy?
04:40Have you ever seen him sign an autograph?
04:42I have it.
04:43Hey, potty mouth, you're getting as bad as Stone Cold.
04:45That's what it is, I mean.
04:57Stone Cold, if he were disqualified, do you think he'd care?
05:02Absolutely not.
05:03Bret Hart right out onto the concrete floor.
05:10Stone Cold Steve Austin from the rail.
05:13I think one of those little breaths threw a punch at the Hitman.
05:18Actually, I think some young lady was trying to help Bret Hart.
05:22I don't know that he would have done the same.
05:25We don't need their help.
05:29What I've been preaching to him for years.
05:33Stone Cold Steve Austin is a machine.
05:36There's no doubt about that.
05:40You stated earlier that Bret Hart could probably out rustle Stone Cold.
05:43It is not that Stone Cold again is not without a great degree of rustling acumen.
05:49Absolutely not.
05:50He knows the holds, he just can't stop him.
05:57What athleticism.
05:59And this one is, no it's not.
06:02And Bret as quickly as he can rolling to the outside.
06:07And right behind him, tenacious as ever, Stone Cold.
06:11And Bret Hart with a chair, uh-oh, and just went down and so did Stone Cold.
06:15Well, President Gorilla Monsoon's got a pretty firm side view of this chaos.
06:20He wanted to be out here and make sure it was one on one.
06:23How's it feel now, Monsoon?
06:24Huh, you like that?
06:26Shut up.
06:27Tell me to shut up.
06:28The President.
06:29Stone Cold slobbering Bret Hart before Bret Hart could use the chair.
06:37Austin is relentless.
06:38He is a machine and right into the referee.
06:47The referee may have caught that chair, I'm not sure.
06:49No.
06:53That machine is getting a monkey wrench thrown into it, isn't it?
06:57That's the injured knee.
06:58But Austin had to take time off for it to rehabilitate.
07:02The left knee is heavily braced.
07:04And Bret is driving the steel right into the knee joint.
07:11What's your machine look like now?
07:14They need an overhaul.
07:19Bret Hart would love to break Austin's leg.
07:22Bret Hart, quite frankly, would love for Steve Austin not to be in the WWF.
07:27And I think the feeling is mutual.
07:29There's no doubt the feeling is mutual.
07:32Stone Cold Steve Austin from the very first day he arrived in the World Wrestling Federation.
07:37Look at Bret Hart helping the official back up.
07:40Well, that's nice of him.
07:42That's smart.
07:43Bret wants the referee to be coherent when he beats Austin, or if he beats Austin.
07:48And Austin, from the very first day he arrived here in the WWF,
07:52certainly resented the fact that someone would actually call himself the best there is,
07:59the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
08:02I gotta tell you, you have to have an ego.
08:05Although we have certainly, ourselves, referred to Bret Hart in that manner many times.
08:10Yeah, you hypocrite.
08:11Well, the only the latter cliche is the one that's yet to be proven.
08:14The best there ever will be.
08:16The other two is certainly arguable.
08:19All right, boy, you won't believe what I just heard.
08:21Brian Pillman and Sonny have just interviewed Mankind and The Undertaker on the Superstar
08:26line.
08:27My gosh, can you imagine what they talked about?
08:31I wouldn't imagine that Mankind would be coherent to this show, Joe.
08:36And look at Stone Cold.
08:38Uh-oh.
08:39Stone Cold fighting back.
08:41Grab for that leg.
08:47Everybody knows, Jim Ross, that a tank is a powerful machine.
08:51But let it throw one of those treads, and it's incapacitated.
08:55Look at Bret Hart.
08:56Bret Hart.
08:58Incapacitating.
09:00He did this to Shawn Michaels.
09:02He's doing it to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
09:07Austin would not give up on the Sharpshooter at WrestleMania 13.
09:10He'll give up now.
09:11No, he won't.
09:12He'll give up, or he'll have his leg broken.
09:14Right.
09:15Come on, get up now.
09:17Which would be better?
09:18Come on, get in the ring.
09:19And the official.
09:20That's a good officiating.
09:22That's different for this night.
09:24It certainly is.
09:25Look at this.
09:28Uh-oh.
09:30God.
09:30No.
09:38Nothing subtle about the offensive attack of Bret Hart.
09:41You get a steel chair, and you hit your opponent in his injured knee.
09:45Simple as that.
09:46I'm really starting to like his style.
09:49I bet Stu Hart's really proud right now.
09:53I want to thank our fans in the UK for staying up late with us here tonight.
09:57Very late.
09:58I'd like to say hi to Diana over there.
10:01Diana?
10:02Diana.
10:05The princess.
10:07Kinga, by the way, she's no longer a royal highness.
10:11That's another issue.
10:15Look out.
10:16Whoa.
10:18Look at this.
10:20Unbelievable, what a machine.
10:21Look at him go.
10:23Austin blocking out the pain, and just fighting like a pit bulldog.
10:30And perhaps no one can block that pain out quite as well as Stone Cold.
10:34But after all, he is human, and Bret Hart is certainly proving that.
10:38Bret Hart, the master strategist, focusing right back on the leg.
10:41And then one would have to assume that this will be Bret Hart's focus for
10:46the balance of this match, however long it goes.
10:48McMahon says Stone Cold is human.
10:51JR over there calls him a pit bull.
10:53Well, it looks like Bret Hart doesn't have any problem with cruelty to animals
10:56right now, does he?
10:56By the way, we have now, we have footage that happened moments ago.
11:00This is not live, if we can bring it to you.
11:05Hey, calm down.
11:07Come on.
11:08Come on.
11:08Calm down.
11:18And we're back now with live action.
11:23That protective brace.
11:24He's dismantling the machine.
11:26Austin has been ordered by his doctors to wear that brace.
11:29Bret Hart knows that full well.
11:31The machine is being taken apart.
11:34Indeed it is, Bret Hart.
11:41What are all those things in there, Ross?
11:43Crucible ligaments and all those kind of things?
11:45Anterior cruciate.
11:46Yeah, go ahead.
11:47ACL.
11:48What do you think they're doing right now?
11:49They're screaming.
11:52They're saying, what's next happening?
11:54That's Steve Austin you hear screaming.
11:57Stone Cold on the outside.
11:59Anything to get away from that kind of pain.
12:02But nonetheless, relentlessly Bret Hart comes right after him now.
12:06Stone Cold right out in front of us.
12:07And Bret Hart trying to take him apart.
12:10One, two, three.
12:12Nothing but knee.
12:13Nothing but a high impact.
12:15Bret Hart relentless in his pursuit.
12:17Look at this.
12:21And that wasn't a knee.
12:27And the official tried to take control of this match.
12:30One, two, three, four.
12:32I think Bret Hart senses now is the time to finish this one.
12:36That's right.
12:36And that's not that official's job.
12:38That job is a standout.
12:41Now his job would be to disqualify.
12:45That long life Stone Cold.
12:48Stone Cold Steve Austin fighting with fire with fire.
12:52Although I don't know that that's just an analogy we should use tonight.
12:56The anger, the hatred that these two athletes possess for each other is
13:00absolutely beyond description.
13:02It's overwhelming, putting their bodies through this much pain to secure that victory.
13:08Or do they really give a darn about the victory?
13:10One, two, three, four.
13:15Stone Cold Steve Austin, who, wait a minute, he has some tape.
13:22Cheater, cheater.
13:24Well, he'll cheat.
13:26And then again, obviously, we know, we have seen Bret Hart, who many individuals will
13:32remember when Bret in his early days here in the WWF, a master cheater, if you would.
13:37He got away with all kind of things.
13:41Jim Ross saying, did you actually say you don't know if these guys care about the victory?
13:46Nobody wants to lose, Ross.
13:48I understand that game.
13:49You show me a good loser, and I'd like to fight him every week.
13:55And Austin's left knee giving out on him.
13:59Again, Austin without the benefit of that knee brace, and Bret Hart, as he always did,
14:04goes right back, right back to that point.
14:08Look at that ankle.
14:09Yeah.
14:11Bret trying to knot up the hamstring, continue to do those high impact blows to the back of the knee.
14:17The medial collateral ligaments taking a beating, the ACLs taking a beating.
14:20He's all over it.
14:21Okay, Dr. Ross.
14:24You won't find that kind of term in the Henny Youngman book there you got in front of him.
14:31And somewhat of an offensive, well, it was an offensive maneuver there.
14:35And Austin right back up.
14:37Austin now with Bret Hart, is he gonna try it again?
14:39No, no, what's he gonna do?
14:48Tremendous counter by Bret Hart.
14:51Bret would have paid a supreme price if Austin could have executed the suplex from the outside,
14:57from the inside out.
15:01Yeah, now, here we go.
15:03Sharpshooter time.
15:04Payback.
15:05Figure four.
15:08And again, if it were a sharpshooter, you would think Bret would want to polish off Stone Cold.
15:13He wants to punish him now.
15:14I think you're right.
15:15Yeah. I think that's why he went to this hole.
15:17That's exactly what I'd be doing right now.
15:24Buddy Rogers invented this move years and years ago.
15:27They call it a leg grapevine at that time.
15:30Now it's a figure four.
15:33Buddy Rogers, the first World Wrestling Federation Champion.
15:37May he rest in peace.
15:39Indeed, back in the early 60s.
15:42Who cares about ancient history?
15:44And Bret Hart, knowing full well that Austin's not gonna surrender, but he might pass out
15:49from pain.
15:50We've seen that before.
15:52Austin trying to turn Bret over, which is a counter for the people.
15:58Trying to take some pressure off.
16:00Pressure now is on Bret Hart, who's reaching for the ropes.
16:04Bret doesn't want his legs punished, but he has punished Austin's.
16:07Gotta break it.
16:09Not his leg, the hole.
16:13And both men all tangled up, and Austin is angry at the official.
16:18Kick him, ref, kick him.
16:21Austin and Bret both former kings of the ring.
16:24Bret in 93, Austin last year in 96, and again Bret goes downstairs.
16:29And Bret Hart now with that bad leg.
16:32No, no brace this time.
16:35No, look at this.
16:36Bret Hart with the leg.
16:38Come on.
16:38Stone Cold's blocked it.
16:40He's got his other foot up against the post.
16:42I'm telling you, let him throw.
16:44Bret Hart with Stone Cold, has him outside.
16:48Get in the ring.
16:49This match is violently personal, violently personal between these two.
16:54And what's it gonna take to settle it?
16:58Well, we heard- Look out.
17:00Back drop into the crown.
17:04Absolutely amazing.
17:05Look at those brows punching Bret.
17:08Austin bleeding from the left elbow, amazing athleticism.
17:12Nothing's gonna stop Austin.
17:13Phenomenal athlete.
17:22Austin, methodically taking Trent now and over the where he goes.
17:26Austin with an advantage.
17:28Can he capitalize?
17:31I admire this referee for letting this thing go as much as he has.
17:35Well, you know what, man.
17:38I don't necessarily agree with that.
17:40The Hitman said this morning, this is what the fans wanted and this is what they're getting.
17:46Stone Cold, Steve Austin, look at that with a clothesline.
17:55And Austin, you wonder what this is taking out of Stone Cold.
17:58You wonder how much damage has been done to the knee.
18:01He's a machine.
18:02I don't think he can damage it.
18:03No, that's not what I said.
18:05He's a machine, all right?
18:06He'll go until he absolutely, totally breaks down or passes out.
18:10Yeah, he's about to run out of gas, I think.
18:12He might.
18:13When he does, it'll be sudden, I'll tell you.
18:16Stone Cold with Bret Hart.
18:18My gosh.
18:19Sternum first, right into the top turnbuckle.
18:21Speaking of sudden, that shook the ring.
18:23That was sudden impact.
18:26And Austin, over now with Bret.
18:30Has it, what's he doing?
18:32Austin just on top of Bret, just hammering away on him.
18:38You throw the wrestling out the window, it's just fists are flying now.
18:45There's an attempt at a pin.
18:51All right, here we go.
18:52Listen.
18:54How do these men get back up?
18:57Because they're great athletes.
18:59I mean, they're giving it their all.
19:01That I've gotta say.
19:03Bret Hart off the road now.
19:06And ran right into that boot.
19:08Austin called Hesing.
19:11Don't call Steve Austin with Bret Hart.
19:14And he has him up in.
19:16Nope, the leg gave away.
19:18Austin's leg gave away.
19:19That hurt Austin.
19:20Austin could not execute the pile driver because that leg buckled on it.
19:24The machine gave out, McMahon, just like you said.
19:30And yes, I believe that's exactly what we have here.
19:36Bret Hart, one certainly to capitalize on this condition of Austin.
19:42And let's just hope that it's swift.
19:48Matches like this shorten careers.
19:50Even though these guys are in the prime of theirs,
19:53this has gotta be a career shortening situation.
19:56See again what I'm saying?
19:58Austin may need knee surgery after this match.
20:01It could be, it could be, but Austin, we may be seeing the last of Steve Austin
20:06for a long time right here tonight.
20:10And Bret is unrelenting.
20:12Again, you would think that Bret would attempt to go for the sharpshooter and
20:17get this over.
20:18I'm telling you, these fans aren't helping Stone Cold any by booing the Hitman.
20:23Because all that does is fire Bret Hart up.
20:25He wants to deliver more punishment.
20:27He wants to deliver more abuse whenever he hears these fans booing.
20:30One, two, four, three, get up.
20:34Look at this ref.
20:34Hey, Monsoon, are you watching that?
20:37You call that officiating?
20:40Drillamonsoon and face first Bret Hart.
20:44Now that could be the big move.
20:46Maybe Austin now can build some momentum.
20:49Maybe that move will buy him some time.
20:52Tide Turner.
20:53A cover.
20:55And a kick out.
20:56One, two, three, two, one.
21:02All gone for the Stone Cold Stunner and Bret Hart hanging on to the ropes.
21:06One, two, three.
21:06Bret had a move well scouted.
21:09And Stone Cold going for it.
21:11And he had nailed that.
21:16Austin was getting a little frustrated and he paid the price.
21:19Austin did it to Bret earlier.
21:21Well, something similar to that.
21:24Well, the effect pretty much is the same.
21:26Yes, no doubt.
21:29But Stone Cold would expect something like that.
21:32If he gives you something, he's gonna expect to get it in return.
21:38He's gonna get this.
21:42Austin set up on the top.
21:46Superplex, all the way to the top.
21:50This will hurt both men.
21:52You can bank on it.
21:57And I think his leg came down right across his own metal brace.
22:02It's like passengers in separate automobiles.
22:05Their cars crashed and they're thrown from the wreckage.
22:12Stone Cold Steve Austin.
22:15His brace on the mat.
22:17And Bret Hart gives a thumbs down.
22:19Bret Hart sets his victory.
22:21Here we go, Sharpshooter gotta be coming up.
22:24Here we go, stepping over.
22:26The Hitman Bret Hart is gonna put the Sharpshooter.
22:28Wait a minute, Stone Cold just nailed, just nailed Bret.
22:33Look at that.
22:38He used that brace.
22:41He used that brace.
22:44Bret Hart trying to hang on.
22:47Bret Hart trying to hang on and Stone Cold Steve Austin as a Sharpshooter 16.
22:55Look at this.
22:57Owens Hart coming.
22:59Look at this, Bulldog and Owens Hart trying to help out his fighter distance.
23:03Bret helped him out earlier.
23:05Stone Cold Steve Austin trying to keep the animals in power.
23:10Stone Cold Steve Austin has no doubt had this match won in that Sharpshooter.
23:16Well, it's not over.
23:17Owen and Bulldog didn't get in the ring.
23:20And Austin stepping through, can he get it on Bret Hart another time?
23:25Where's my son going?
23:26Here we go.
23:29It's over.
23:30This is a matter of time before this one is in the book for Steve Austin.
23:37The only question is whether or not Bret Hart will pass out another, no, no, no, no.
23:53The British Bulldog coming in and saving his brother, Bret Hart.
23:58Just like Bret saved his brother-in-law in Orange Tag titles against the Legion of Doom earlier.
24:09This outside interference is absolutely ridiculous.
24:12Okay, come on.
24:14Stone Cold Steve Austin.
24:16The winner of this bout, as a result of the disqualification, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
24:25What?
24:26What?
24:29Stone Cold Steve Austin, for the victory.
24:39But not the kind of victory he wanted in Bret Hart.
24:44Bret Hart out here.
24:46Bret's got that heavy belt that's attached to that piece of wood.
24:51And Bret Hart- No, no.
24:56Bret Hart's knee.
25:03Austin working on Bret's knee.
25:09And Austin puts it on again, Austin puts it on again.
25:13Austin puts it on again.
25:15Steve Austin, let's look over there, look at this, look at, the Bulldog and Owen are trying to get back
25:20out here again.
25:21Steve Austin is ripping and tearing at Bret Hart's knee.
25:29And finally the official of Garden Stone Cold, off of Bret Hart.
25:36Here they come, here comes the Cavalry.
25:42And Bret Hart is hurt.
25:47Bret Hart is hurt, Steve Austin is hurt.
25:51They are both casualties of war here.
25:55The question is, how badly are they hurt?
26:00Will they ever, ever be the same?
26:04Hold on, look at the look on Bret's face.
26:08What's it gonna take to settle this issue between Bret and Stone Cold?
26:17Stone Cold,
26:18Stone Cold,
26:19Stone Cold,
26:36Steve Austin came to Rochester, New York to fight.
26:40That's what he does best.
26:42That's what he did here tonight.
26:47You may not invite him to dinner.
26:49You don't want your kids to emulate him as a role model.
26:53But he's the fightingest SOB you'll ever find.
27:00Stone Cold Steve Austin victorious as a result of this qualification.
