I also seem to remember something near the end of the show where Slaughter came out and apologized for messing with everybody by saying he had a huge surprise. And he was talking like he was about to introduce Bret Hart by using terms like "national hero" and such, and then all of a sudden Hacksaw Jim Duggan came storming out?
Yup and you would think that after building all that heat up they would use it for something right? Nope. Instead they crapped on the audience and wasted an entire show on some old asshole who wasn't even going to be there next week.
Now if I were to throw on my conspiracy hat, I would say that it was Vince et al ribbing the Calgary audience for screwing live reactions for a decade plus prior to that. It may have even worked because I've noticed that since then our audiences have been much younger and much markier.
Sidenote: at that same show we got really drunk and were challenged to a fight by some Cena fans. They told us to meet them by an ice cream shop, we went to the casino instead.
Stu Hart saved this buisness. To see his grandson flounder in mediority is a crime and shame.
Teddy (DH) Smith is one of the most underrated workers and one of the best technical wrestlers in the business. I'm just glad that Tyson is just barely far enough away from the Hart family to still have a fighting chance.
