I'll do it sometime tomorrow. It would only be a couple $ per disc, I'd just need to sell enough of them to make it worth shipping.
PG is not the problem

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Seriously. And everything felt real because it really was Austin's first and maybe last shot at begin in a main event type program finally. He wanted that god damn spot.
96-97 Austin was hungry as fuck.
And you believed he meant what he said.
These days... heh. Probably only guy who says shit that's believable is Brock.
Most other guys will eventually become a Cena punching bag.
The magical thing about 96-97 austin is how organic the transformation was. He started out as the ring master and little by little his character was developing, then came KOTR and the art imitating life of him stunning jake the snake roberts (cutting the head of the snake and embracing the venom).
Stone Cold Steve Austin was born in front of the mercy of fucking Doc Hendrix :/.
Damn now I want to watch KOTR 96 now.

"Pink tights... What the hell is that all about, Bret?"
One of my thoughts about 5 minutes into the Austin/Hart WM13 match was "jesus christ, this feels like a real fight". My naive younger self was still in that transitional period of "is this real or fake?" around that time when Austin/Hart first happened, watching it now as an adult (haha) and it almost made me think wrestling was real again.
Honestly, I think you could probably remove the 1996 from that and it would still be an accurate statement.
*dogs barking*
Bret played his part great as well. You could tell his uppity disgust for Stone Cold, and it helped develop Bret into his only good character. Canadian Hero Bret Hart.
Shawn always felt like the third wheel in every feud he was involved in despite being the 'face of the WWF'

Man people jump on me for posting in that WWE 2k15 thread, but I feel the need to inform people when they ask if the game is good or not. I feel like I'm doing a disservice if I sit by and don't say anything.
Austin/Hart reminded me of how fucking intense both Austin and Hart could be. Real Ass Stone Cold has been chronicled here a lot but going into that match Bret totally had an "I'm about to beat down a motherfucker" look to him. As a long time mark for New Generation "happy to be champ" Bret, WM13 Hart was an intense sum bitch.
HBK/Bret is underwhelming as shit for what is billed as the feud of a generation. Austin/Bret was definitely better. Austin/HBK in 1997 was better than Bret/HBK matches. Diesel had better matches with Bret and HBK than they did with each other. So did Undertaker. Bulldog probably did, too.
Whenever other wrestlers talk about the fights backstage that did or did not happen between HBK and Bret, they always talk about how it wouldn't be a fight. How Bret would completely mangle Michales. You see heel Bret, and you believe it.

"If you put an 'S' in front of Hitman, you have my exact opinion of Bret Hart.".
" You gonna get me a piece of equipment that works, son, or do I have to whip your ass? Bret Hart, you can sit there and bellyache and complain with the best of them, son. Ever since you came back, you ain't done nothing but cry! You sit there and talk about how Vince screwed you, how everybody screwed you, how I screwed you. The bottom line is, son, when the going gets tough, the Harts get going back home! Knock it off! Go on back to Canada, son, because the only person you can possibly beat is your wrinkled up old man in his little old basement. You talk about being jerked around, I've been jerked around for seven years, and then I get here. I'm supposed to face Sycho Sid tonight and some guy, a 350-pound buffoon that calls himself Gorilla Monsoon the commissioner says, "No, no. Sycho Sid is at home with a concussion." Sycho Sid may be at home with a concussion and an ice pack on his head, but he's also got a yellow stripe running right down the middle of his back. As far as Gorilla Monsoon goes, I got a big bunch of bananas and I can tell you where to stick each and every one of them. You want me to face The Undertaker, you can bring his dead ass out here, because I threw him over the top rope last night, and I'll do the exact same thing right now, so bring him out, I got something for him!"

Loved how Bret took the steps bump. Cena's bumping is pathetic by comparison.
It's just like... your opinion man. You know.

yeah people can whine about bret being a mark for himself all they want but him and austin made what is probably THE most memorable bell to bell moment in all of wrasslin'
I wanted a proper Bret vs Hogan feud for the longest time. Because I know they hated each other, I knew Hogan could play the crowd, and I knew Bret could setup the match to make Hogan look good. Because it would come through clear as day that they hated each other, but it wouldn't be like HBK vs Hogan where it just shits up the match. Bret wouldn't let anyone put him in a bad match no matter how much he hated them. I mean, I thought their WCW match was pretty good for what it was.
The wrassler vs the entertainer. The hungry lion who was coming for the top spot. The only problem is that I would want both to be heel.

Nah he would have squashed nWo instead and made a nHo faction to brawl against them.
I want homebrew on my Vita so I can play Chrono Trigger and Super Mario World on it. That or Nintendo can put it up on PSN, either would be awesome.
Homebrew is a bitch to get working properly, glad I never went that route on the Vita. Despite how much I want to play those awesome old SNES games on my Vita I already have a huge backlog of new games to deal with anyway.
Absolutely, shocked they haven't done any commentary options on classic matches so far. Would be a great reason for people to go back and watch the old content.
Would be a cheap way to make use of the Legends contracts too. Rather than put them in a stupid reality show get them to wax nostalgic on the Network.
I'll be replacing my weekly Raw watch with KOTR 96 tonight I think!
Austin in gaming side would be a riot.
Austin in Gamergate would be a sight to see.
