00:00We're down to one minute, it changed.
00:04Champs in it, Champs in it, he got it, he got it.
00:08His lower back has to be screaming in pain.
00:10He gave up.
00:12No, not yet, no.
00:14This match has been ordered to continue.
00:19We're in overtime, McMahon.
00:22My goal, he got it.
00:23Got it, my goal, and it covered.
00:26Five, two, three.
00:30I think the wrong guy won.
00:32This is bullsh**.
00:34Everybody screw me.
00:35I don't like him, I don't trust him, and I don't believe him.
00:38You know, a lot of people don't agree with my lifestyle, but it is mine.
00:41It's a phony little sh**.
00:44Just because I come out here and choose to live my life openly and freely does not make you a better man.
00:54I don't respect you.
00:55You don't understand what it means to have dignity, to have poise, to bring prestige to the World Wrestling Federation.
01:08I do this because I like it.
01:11You do it because in your mind, Martin man, you really think all of this is yours.
01:19This year is what it's all about.
01:34You are a zero, my hero.
01:38You're a disgrace to professional wrestling.
01:40The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, is the icon that can still go.
01:46You're nothing but a degenerate.
01:48Who is the show stopper?
01:51Me.
01:52The lowest form of scum.
01:54Who is the main event?
01:58Me.
01:58Let's settle the score right here, right now.
02:01My super kick is going to be one foot down your throat.
02:05I'm going to kick your little scrawny ass.
02:07My super kick is going to be one foot down your throat.
02:37I don't know.
02:38Man, what light on this one, I'm going to assume.
02:41Where are we going?
02:42I didn't know where to go.
02:43I didn't know where to go.
02:45I didn't know where to go.
02:53You heard him?
02:57I didn't know where to go.
03:02I didn't know where to go.
03:04I know I'm sexy, I've got the moves, the drives are good, while I've got the wheels,
03:26the
03:27the
03:30I'm a
03:33sexy boy.
03:34I'm just a sexy boy.
03:39I'm just a sexy boy.
03:43I'm a
03:56They see you walk, they hear you talk
04:00I'm making beats like they're all in the clouds
04:04Nah, I'm just a sexy boy
04:08I'm not your boy toy
04:12I'm just a sexy boy
04:16I'm not your boy toy
04:20I'm just a sexy boy
04:40I'm not your boy toy
04:44I'm just a sexy boy
04:48I'm not your boy toy
04:52Well Shawn Michaels certainly not endearing himself to the fans here in the Molson Center
04:58Somewhat disrespecting the Maple Leaf obviously we apologize for that to our friends and our fans in Canada
05:06Michaels is very arrogant, but he is the greatest athlete in the history of the World Wrestling Federation, bar none
05:14I'd like to see you tell Bret Hart that
05:20The World Wrestling Federation
05:24We're here
05:26Yeah
05:28We're here
05:30We're here
05:32We're here
05:34We're here
05:36We're here
05:38We're here
05:40We're here
05:42We're here
05:44Let's do it.
05:47Let's do it.
05:48Come on, you're coming.
05:51Oh!
06:14What's up?
06:44He made a new song, come and get me.
06:48Right, hit man hard.
07:14You can feel the electricity.
07:36Will be on the line momentarily, and what an ovation for the 21-year veteran, Bret Hart,
07:49who debuted at the age of 19 in 1976 in Calgary, Alberta.
07:57It has been a long journey for the Hitman.
08:03This match was a long journey in itself.
08:07It took 18 months to get it done.
08:12And the smart money is, is that you will never, ever see it again.
08:33John Michaels did not and would not allow the Generation X to accompany him to the ring.
08:42And in the same instant, Bret the Hitman Hart refused to allow the heart and foundation to accompany him either.
08:54Possibly the two biggest egos in all of wrestling are about to collide.
09:13And of course you know it's not about the money, it's about the title, but it's about more than that.
09:28Oh yeah.
09:29As you said King, these two men truly believe in their hearts that they are the better men.
09:38It's all about the power, Ross.
09:40You know it.
09:41I know it.
09:42Let's don't kid ourselves.
09:47Bret Hart has helped the title by a time.
09:49Look out!
09:50And Shawn Michaels is in.
09:52And Shawn Michaels is not going to waste any time for Michaels to fix the pace here.
09:56And Bret Hart fighting back with run hands.
09:59Bret Hart will win a fist fight.
10:02Shawn Michaels will win a fast paced matchup.
10:05And Bret Hart is not mixing any of his technical expertise.
10:10It's just hard, hard run hands.
10:12Bret Hart so badly wants to damage the goods of Shawn Michaels.
10:19Shawn Michaels.
10:20There's a close line.
10:21Michaels goes up and over.
10:22Shawn Michaels, face first into the ring post.
10:32I don't think this match has officially even started.
10:35I think you're right.
10:36We haven't heard the bell.
10:38And a referee, Earl Hebner, the senior official has yet to start this matchup.
10:45But we've got one heck of a Donnybrook going right here.
10:48Michaels trying to block the steps there.
10:52I'm looking over at the timekeeper.
10:54He's looking at the referee.
10:56I don't think it's really officially underway.
10:58Michael's coming into the wrestling.
11:07And here comes Bret Hart right after it.
11:09My God, Shawn Michaels is in no man's land.
11:12It's about 20,500 something against one right now.
11:29This is chaotic.
11:34Shawn had better somehow get back in the ring.
11:37This match may not happen.
11:39Michaels may never make it back.
11:41Look at Michael's body, all red.
11:45His whoops on his body, on his chest, on his back.
11:49Commissioner Slaughter and a handful of referees are down here.
11:55There's Vince McMahon.
11:56Vince McMahon is here.
11:58We thought this was gonna get out of hand.
12:01All kinds of speculation regarding Bret Hart and his future.
12:05Everybody's got the answer.
12:06Everybody knows the story.
12:07Be ready to move.
12:08Now Shawn Michaels is taking back over.
12:12I guarantee you this match is gonna happen here, come hell or high water.
12:17The referees, three of them, Sergeant Slaughter, they're all screaming get back to the ring.
12:21But nobody is listening.
12:23Michaels has pushed the camera man out of the way.
12:26Wow.
12:27Hart went face first into the steel steps.
12:29Come on Shawn, get him in the ring.
12:34Michael's is now choking Bret Hart.
12:38And yes, we talked about speculation.
12:41There has been a lot of speculation that if Bret Hart loses this match,
12:47that this will be his last match in the WWF.
12:50And now Michaels, goes to Bret Hart outside.
12:56Michaels turning the table.
12:58Has the match really even started yet?
13:02Michaels now is dominating Bret Hart.
13:09Bret Hart just ate a mouthful of security railing.
13:16And the folks in the front row are getting- Look at that.
13:24Look at this.
13:25Look out.
13:26Back in the ring from the first row, over the rail, back to the floor.
13:35That was a- That was a low blow by Bret Hart.
13:45That was a low blow.
13:50What does McMahon think he's doing out there?
13:54He's moved this place.
13:57He wants to get the match started.
14:00And we're going to deliver.
14:01At least I hope we can.
14:02And we're going to deliver.
14:03At least I hope we can.
14:07Bret Hart elevated Michaels right on the floor.
14:13Which is certainly very unforgiving.
14:15The hitman again.
14:26Oh my God.
14:27What a suplex.
14:28Michaels just suplexed all over the concrete.
14:32I have never seen so many referees.
14:37I've never seen so much security.
14:44There you go.
14:45They may clear some of that on their own now.
14:47Pat Patterson just took a shot.
14:49Pat Patterson a hall of famer from around here in Montreal.
14:53You know what, Braun?
14:54Michael just rimmed Hart right into referee Tim White.
15:12Right.
15:13This is just what you got to love.
15:15It's a good old-fashioned fight.
15:17It's just a down-and-dirty fight between two guys that hate each other's guts.
15:22Let's dance here a slobber knocker.
15:31Godless, thrown again right on the concrete.
15:39That's a fire extinguisher.
15:45Well, they've both done enough for each other to be disqualified.
15:48There's no doubt about that.
15:49However, I don't think that this match has ever been started.
15:57There you see Vince McMahon there, trying to convince these guys to get in the ring.
16:07Come on.
16:08This way.
16:09Take out.
16:10Red Hart just knocked down referee Jack Doan.
16:16This is so personal.
16:18Such vile, intense feelings between these men.
16:24Don't push your arm, McMahon.
16:29You ever try to stop a fight between two people that really hate each other,
16:35they'll both turn on you.
16:45They're making their way, I thought.
16:48Back up to the ring.
16:49Michael's knocked down again.
16:51Michael's almost out on his feet.
17:03Oh, and again, Michael's ran into the security railing.
17:09Michael's tossed in the ring.
17:22I'm gonna ring the bell, Red, to get this number right.
17:25Ring the bell.
17:29The match has started.
17:31Finally.
17:33And Bret Hart is choking Shawn Michaels.
17:38Now remember, the match has started.
17:43Michaels is so resilient.
17:50Michaels is younger.
17:53He isn't carrying as much body weight as Bret Hart.
17:56And he's gonna need all those attributes to survive at the Survivor Series.
18:02Michael Saint.
18:07Oh, man.
18:08I'm sure it wasn't that complimentary to the Hitman inverted atomic drop.
18:14And right now, at this point in time, Bret Hart is owning the challenger.
18:19The challenger.
18:20Right.
18:21And you usually talk to somebody when you're kicking their butt.
18:23Not when you're getting your butt kicked.
18:25That would really make me mad.
18:26Michaels explodes.
18:28Ow.
18:29Flying forearm, the Costa Hitman.
18:32Michaels, with his superior quickness, knocks down Bret Hart with a flying forearm right off the ropes.
18:38That's the explosive element that Michaels brings to the dance.
18:42Oh.
18:43Michaels, he measured that with King.
18:48Michaels measured that kick right to Bret's face.
18:51Oh.
18:56Michaels with a flat of the foot.
19:01Again, in the face of the Hitman.
19:03And Michaels now, I think that's a flag of Quebec around Bret Hart's neck.
19:10And Bret Hart looks to be bleeding from some part of his anatomy.
19:14It looks like maybe it's his hand, his knuckles.
19:16Knuckles busted.
19:17I'm not real sure.
19:18Well, he probably busted him on Shawn Michaels' head.
19:21Michaels now in control.
19:26Michaels measuring Bret Hart.
19:29Michaels unusually methodical in his approach at this point in time in the match.
19:40Yes, he is brash.
19:41Yeah.
19:42I mean, the biggest match of your life.
19:44The biggest match probably in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.
19:47And he stopped and takes time out to mess with the fans.
19:52Well, he certainly isn't precious as to whom he insults.
19:58If you're here, you're breathing.
20:00You're fair game.
20:01And the reigning European champion, by the way, the European title is not at stake in this
20:06night.
20:07Michaels stinging jab and then a right hand.
20:23Oh, Michaels now measuring Bret Hart.
20:27Michaels may have more cardiovascular conditioning here.
20:30Michaels again is so resilient.
20:33Remember what Michaels did, King, in St. Louis just a month ago against The Undertaker in that cage.
20:40He survived and won, thanks to King.
20:43Hell in a cell, I remember.
20:45Well, they're moving furniture now.
20:50Oh, my God, look at this.
20:52What's he gonna do here?
20:56Oh, face for Suplex.
21:00Michaels now, Bret Hart's face flat on that step, just got stomped.
21:08And now Michaels reaching for the make-believe.
21:11And Michaels using that black hole to drive it right into the anatomy of Bret Hart.
21:22I got him in the throat, I think.
21:24Michaels has, he has gained firm control.
21:31Right now he's got firm control of the Hitman's hair.
21:38Look out.
21:40Ooh, no doubt a close fist there, but who's counting?
21:45Michaels has done it all.
21:55Grand slam winner.
21:57Nobody else has ever done that.
22:00And Michaels double sleds right off the top.
22:04And you can almost feel Michaels continue to build and build and build the momentum.
22:11Hard front face lock.
22:19One of the most elementary moves in the game, but one of the most painful.
22:25Trying to wear the man down now.
22:26I think you're right.
22:27I think that Shawn Michaels feels like he is in the driver's seat.
22:32That's a move right from Stu Hart's dungeon.
22:36An old front face lock where you just grind that forearm right into your opponent's face.
22:41Right across his jaw.
22:43It's a hole of control.
22:46Uh-oh.
22:47It's almost a little slap in the face for Bret Hart because that's something, the front face lock that you would expect Bret Hart to utilize.
22:59Right.
23:00And ordinarily by this time, you'd see the Hitman already going downstairs, starting to weaken the legs of his opponent.
23:06But we haven't seen that.
23:08Instead, we see Shawn Michaels.
23:11Almost in control, but not anymore.
23:17Bret Hart now able to counter.
23:19And Bret Hart looking to go downstairs.
23:21There we go.
23:22The elbow to the knee.
23:24I'm a prophet.
23:25And Shawn Michaels wrecking at the face.
23:30Michael certainly sensing that Bret Hart was gonna start to soften up Shawn's legs.
23:35And set Michaels up for the sharpshooter.
23:38Right.
23:49Irish whip.
23:51Michael's head lowered, paid for it.
23:54And now Bret Hart focusing on the left knee of Shawn Michaels who again goes to the face to rake the eyes for the counter.
24:03Bret Hart gasping for air.
24:07This match really taking its toll, obviously, out of both these athletes.
24:12I think it was the match before the match that took the toll on everybody.
24:15I guess that was just a little bonus for all the fans watching.
24:21Not only here but on pay-per-view.
24:24A cross body.
24:25Wait a minute.
24:26Drop rolls through and Michaels kicked out.
24:28John Michaels with a cross body and it was countered by Bret Hart who again goes right back downstairs.
24:37If Bret Hart gets the advantage and builds the advantage in the legs, King, he won't go anywhere else.
24:42You're right.
24:43Because all that's in the back of his mind is the sharpshooter.
24:46Here he goes.
24:47He's setting him up for him right now.
24:48Ooh.
24:49You can hear that.
24:50Michael's leg right off the ring pose.
24:51I hope that wasn't a ball snapping.
24:52And now it's Bret Hart with a figure four leg lock on Shawn Michaels.
25:05Michaels could have his leg snapped.
25:09Michaels is trying to hold on.
25:12But the damage has been done.
25:15Bret breaks before the count of five, if you can believe that.
25:20There's no disqualification on that exchange.
25:26But the damage has been done to the challenger's legs.
25:29Without a doubt.
25:30And I thought I saw Shawn Michaels' head shaking in a yes fashion.
25:35But I guess the referee didn't think that.
25:37Well, I wouldn't count it anyway.
25:38Bret Hart was outside the ring.
25:40It may be sharpshooter time.
25:42We may be moments away from a sharpshooter as Bret Hart continues to torture the leg of Sharpshooter.
25:49Well, the Canadian hero is pulling out every dirty trick that he can to counteract the same dirty tricks that Shawn Michaels has been utilizing.
26:17I don't know if that was.
26:21Oh, here we go.
26:22Here we go.
26:23Here we go.
26:24No.
26:25Grab.
26:26Figure four.
26:27Figure four leg lock.
26:30Michaels has fighting.
26:32How much longer?
26:34It can't be much longer.
26:35Shawn Michaels gives it up.
26:37And he's got him.
26:38He's got him in the middle of the ring, Rose.
26:40Nowhere to go.
26:41Michaels, he's got to quit.
26:44Michaels has got to give it up.
26:46What do you say?
26:47What do you say?
26:48There's not a human being alive that can withstand this much pressure, this much punishment in the center of the ring with a figure four leg lock.
26:56Here we go, here we go.
27:03What do you say?
27:04Michaels is trying to turn to his stomach.
27:06What do you say?
27:10If he can't get it, if he can get turned over, it'll take the pressure off of Shawn and put it on Brick.
27:17And there's a counter.
27:18There is a counter.
27:19And Bret Hart wisely and quickly goes to the ropes, which causes a break.
27:26That was all advantage Brick.
27:33Michaels, to his credit, can you believe that the arrogant Shawn Michaels did not give up?
27:48Oh, what a right hand.
27:51Bret Hart laying it in there, catching Michaels right in the forehead.
27:55And Michaels lifts.
27:57He can barely stand.
27:59Upside down.
28:01Look out.
28:02Shawn Russian leg sweep.
28:04You know what's next?
28:06There's a cover.
28:07One, two, and.
28:08Can you believe Shawn Michaels again?
28:10My God, Michaels is showing a lot of guts here.
28:13He wouldn't give up on the figure four.
28:15He wouldn't stay down for the lateral press after the Russian leg sweep.
28:20And then the lower abdomen takes a pounding.
28:23Matter of time, Ross.
28:24He's being set up for the sharpshooter.
28:26You know it and I know it.
28:27No doubt that would be Bret Hart's crowning achievement.
28:31Oh.
28:32Are you kidding me?
28:33Make Shawn Michaels give up.
28:34That's all he wants to do.
28:38That's all he wants to do.
28:39Suplex.
28:40Lateral press.
28:41And Michaels again, showing great tenacity.
28:43He's able to kick out so many of these 20,593 fans standing.
28:49Watching this matchup.
28:50There's a backbreaker.
28:51And Michaels again finds himself in one hell of a lot of trouble.
28:55He's resilient, but how resilient is he?
29:00How much of this abuse can he take?
29:02How long can he stand it?
29:04Oh, Michaels just pulled the referee right in front of the hitman.
29:08What about that?
29:10Michaels pulled referee Earl Hebner right in front of Bret Hart.
29:15And I think Hart and the referee hit head.
29:17Is that a disqualification?
29:19It might be if he could get up and call it.
29:26And again, Michaels rake in the face.
29:36What is, look at this.
29:38Oh, you're kidding me.
29:39Michaels, are you gonna try to beat Bret Hart with a sharp shooter?
29:44Yes, he is.
29:45Are you kidding me?
29:47What?
29:50I think I'm cute.
29:55I know I'm sexy.
29:58I've got the looks.
30:00The drives are cool.
30:02While I've got the moves.
30:04The removal.
30:06I'm sexy.
30:07What happened?
30:08Bret Hart gave up on the sharp shooter.
30:10I'm just a sexy baby.
30:13I'm not your boy toy.
30:16I'm the boy toy.
30:17Sean Michaels.
30:19I'm just a sexy boy.
30:23Wow, you talk about controversy.
30:27I make them hot.
30:29This crowd is living.
30:31And he's weak.
30:33Michael for the sub-shooter has become the WWF champion.
30:38And Bret Hart is standing in disbelief.
30:41I make them feel like they're all found.
30:43I'm just a sexy boy.
30:44Gentlemen, goodnight from Montreal.
