Bret Hart vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
After the game started, Bret launched a fierce attack on Austin, with sharp moves Luo couldn't tell that Bret was a wrestler who had been out of action for nearly 8 months. Even in the second half of the game, Bret still beat Austin all the way, uh uh uh... The new generation of fighters suddenly have to face experienced veterans in a large WWF conference. This kind of match is not suitable for those who have just joined the WWF. For Austin in the near future...is it really too harsh? At the end of the game, when Austin locked Bret with a neck lock, Bret suddenly stepped on the corner post and kicked hard with his foot! Bret turned around and directly suppressed Austin! What a beautiful move! Austin had no time to react and was suppressed for 3 seconds! ! ! Brett won beautifully in his first battle back. But...Brett was involved in a fierce fight with Austin for more than 5 months because of his victory in this game. Bret's original plan to regain the championship belt as soon as possible was seriously "delayed" because of this.
January 19, 1997 San Antonio, Texas ROYAL RUMBLE 1997
Since the return battle in November 1996, the struggle between Bret and Austin can be said to have intensified. And as the number of Austin appearances increases, the phenomenon of wrestling fans "liking bad boys" becomes more and more obvious, which also makes WWF's plot stories and routes more and more inclined to the "Austin system". On the other hand, due to Austin's intrusion and entanglement, Bret has no chance to challenge for the championship belt. Seeing that the time has come to 1997, Bret has only two options left. One is to try to end his relationship with Austin. The second part of Ding's struggle was to win the right to challenge for the next championship match in the 30-man showdown in "ROYAL RUMBLE 1997". After some careful consideration, Brett resolutely chose the latter...
The atmosphere of this day's "30-person showdown" seemed a bit tense, because there were some differences in this year's "30-person showdown". A new generation of young players participated in the competition with members of other wrestling groups. Everyone wanted to use the victory in this game as a stepping stone in their wrestling life. Of course, the person most favored to win before the game was "Hitman" Bretlow, who had won three WWF world championships. The right to challenge for the world championship belt is on the line, now! The game begins!
Austin, who has been fighting against Brett before, is ranked fifth overall today. To be honest... according to the rules of the "30-man showdown", Austin's appearance order is very, very unfavorable. but! This year's "ROYAL RUMBLE" conference shocked wrestling fans, because Austin, who appeared with the fifth pick, actually kicked the players out of the ring one after another. At the end, there was a situation in the ring where "there was no other opponent, and only Austin was left sitting comfortably on the corner post waiting for the next player to appear." Although WWF's "30-Man Showdown" advertised that "anything can happen", this match phenomenon was the first time in WWF's history that everyone outside the venue was stunned. This, this, this… this is really… amazing…. Okay... let's see how the situation evolves next.
At this time! Brett's entrance music starts! Brett is the 21st overall pick! When he heard Brett's entrance music, Austin held his head in his hands, with a frightened expression on his face - "How could it be him!?" As for the audience, there was a cheer. The enemies were extremely jealous when they met, and Bret chased and beat Austin as soon as he came on the stage. The beaten Austin was once forced to the point where he almost fell out of the ring. Unfortunately, Brett's efforts were unsuccessful. After 1 minute, a new player entered the stage! The person entering the field with the 22nd overall pick is Brett’s nemesis – “King” Jerry Roller! Things are going to be bad now...Jerry Rohrer, who likes to take advantage of others, will definitely work with Austin to deal with Brett! Just when the wrestling fans were worried about Bret, Bret suddenly showed off his power. Jerry Roller had just come on the stage to show off his power. Bret punched him and "King" Jerry Roller fell out of the ring and was eliminated! (^0^)
But... when all the players came out (there were only 6 people in the ring), the battle situation changed surprisingly. First of all, veterans Terry Fank and Manka Inde fell out of the ring one after another. Since Terry Fank and Manka Inde were dissatisfied with the verdict of falling out of bounds, the four referees in the audience (looking at the four sides of the ring respectively) ) went to arbitration one after another. At this moment, Bret threw his old enemy Austin out of the arena in one breath, and then turned to deal with other people still on the stage. But... Austin took advantage of the referee's busy arbitration and did not see his blind spot when he fell out of the field, returned to the field again, and kicked all the players on the stage out of the field, clang clang clang! The final winner turned out to be the trickster Austin! ? Seeing this extremely ridiculous decision, Bret was so angry that he almost vomited blood and immediately went to the referee to argue. On the other hand, the WWF boss who was sitting in the broadcast booth at the time, Vince McMahon, was also angered by Bret's anger. spread.
Based on the WWF's ironclad rule of "if the referee doesn't see it, it's not a foul," the final result of the game was that Austin qualified.
Although Bret was furious, he didn't realize at the time that the "WWF New Line" and "Austin System" would make him a hundred times, even a thousand times, ten thousand times angrier in the future... Starting from this moment Already quietly on the road...
