00:00You are going to face the legendary Bret the Hitman Hart,
00:04the Excellence of Execution.
00:06The winner gets a title shot.
00:08It's seconds away now.
00:09You're set to face Bret Hart.
00:13And you think that I'm supposed to be intimidated by the way you build him up
00:17and talk about stipulations, don't you?
00:19Just don't even say a word, son.
00:21Everybody talks about the best there is, the best there was, all the other crap.
00:26The Excellence of Execution.
00:28Bret, cliches are cliches, and an ass-whipping is an ass-whipping.
00:33And that's exactly what you're gonna get tonight at the hands of Stone Cold Steve
00:38Austin, and that's the bottom line.
00:43All right, thank you very much.
00:46And ladies and gentlemen, here he comes,
00:48the man who unfortunately could spoil.
00:50Make no mistake about it, you talk about qualifications, JR.
00:54This man, Stone Cold Steve Austin could spoil the comeback attempt of Bret the Hitman Hart.
01:01You know, Vince, I saw Steve Austin a little over seven years ago in the Sportatorium in Dallas, Texas.
01:07He was a rookie, and you can see the greatness, that the potential greatness that cost.
01:12From Victoria, Texas, playing 299-
01:16Also his attitude, it was all about attitude, then and now.
01:20He has an attitude, an attitude, I might add, that is somewhat appreciated by this capacity crowd.
01:27He is a competitor, you may not like his tactics, and I know that Brian Tillman sitting at home wants
01:33to go take review.
01:34Certainly does appreciate some of the things Stone Cold Steve Austin has done.
01:39Nonetheless, Stone Cold has an opportunity to defeat Bret Hart and make himself a real big name.
01:49Let's go back to Todd Pettengill.
01:51Alright Vince, thank you very much. In just seconds, one of the biggest comebacks in sports entertainment history will happen
01:58here at the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
02:01You yourself, Bret, have called Stone Cold Steve Austin the best wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation today, and you
02:06face him in seconds.
02:08The one thing that Stone Cold Steve Austin doesn't have going for him in this match is the fact that
02:14it is Madison Square Garden.
02:16And I meant it, when I said it's not a church, but it's holy ground, well it is.
02:22I've got my fans out here, and I've got my fans all around the world, and they've been waiting for
02:27this very moment.
02:28Now where I stand, we're all gonna find out right now, but Stone Cold, remember one thing, I'm not greedy
02:35for money, I'm greedy for respect.
02:37And when this thing's all said and done, you will respect me.
02:42The excellence of execution, Bret the Hitman Hart, ready to return to Madison Square Garden.
02:47I know that's right.
02:49I think it could come down to a submission match.
02:52Can you imagine these two men trying to manipulate the holes to make one or the other submit?
03:01We know Bret's got the sharpshooter, I think Austin's got a trick or two up his sleeve.
03:06And in a moment, Madison Square Garden will be electric.
03:13Here we go!
03:14Bless and bless.
03:19Ladies and gentlemen, here's the winner,
03:23from every opera Canada,
03:26weighing 234 pounds, Bret the Hitman!
03:36The Hitman Bret Hart, ready to electrify this capacity crowd.
03:41And everyone, hyping everyone on their feet, and here he comes!
04:02The Hitman Bret Hart!
04:05The Hitman Bret Hart!
04:05The Hitman Bret Hart!
04:15The Hitman Bret Hart!
04:16The Hitman Bret Hart!
04:32Well he's back!
04:38He ain't no clown, he ain't no trash man.
04:43He's a wrestler, and so is Steve Austin.
04:46And that's what it's about, wrestling, competition, intensity.
04:50That's what the World Wrestling Federation is about, athleticism and drama.
04:54And we're gonna experience it all in this one very match right here tonight.
05:07And again, ladies and gentlemen,
05:09the stakes very high for this match-up, notwithstanding the integrity.
05:17Notwithstanding the standing for the title, ladies and gentlemen.
05:23The winner of this match, Gorilla Monsoon stated today,
05:27the winner of this match-up goes on and faces the winner of the title shot.
05:33For Shawn Michaels against Psycho Sid.
05:37Well, I'd like to clarify that, the winner of this match will meet the champion.
05:42That's exactly right, I beg your pardon.
05:44And that's gonna be coming up next month, December the 15th,
05:48I understand, down in West Palm Beach, Florida.
05:52World Wrestling Federation all over the world.
05:55And it has come down to this in Madison Square Garden.
05:58If you like Holyfield and Tyson, you're gonna love this.
06:09No one ever said Stone Cold has class.
06:13Well, it can be a little crude.
06:16And he will do anything, I mean anything, to intimidate an opponent.
06:20I'm just not so sure that Bret Hart can be intimidated by anyone.
06:25It can be intimidated, but that's not the issue here.
06:27The issue is, how much ring rust does Bret Hart possess?
06:31How long will it take for Bret to get in that groove, to get all of his timing back?
06:36You can train in the gym all you want.
06:38This is where it counts, right here.
06:41Back to the corner.
06:42Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
06:44You know what's beautiful about this match-up?
06:46These guys are not past their prime, they're in their prime.
06:50We're gonna see the best of Bret Hart and the best of Steve Austin.
06:54I've waited on this for a long time.
06:56And again, look at this trial jockey.
07:01And again, Steve Austin will say anything to you.
07:04You can imagine the worst thing anyone could say to you.
07:08That's probably what Stone Cold is doing to Bret Hart.
07:15Driving into the corner, a little high with the elbow.
07:19You know, doing some checking, neither of these two men have ever submitted in a match
07:24in their entire career.
07:25And I believe it's gonna come down to a submission in this match-up, which would
07:30obviously be a first.
07:31And how humiliating for one of these athletes to give up here in Madison Square Garden.
07:36I don't know if they could ever live it down.
07:37How ironic would it be if Stone Cold Steve Austin placed the sharpshooter on Bret Hart
07:43and won by submission.
07:45And again, anything can happen.
07:48Good waist lock there and Bret counters.
07:50Nice maneuver.
07:51Good switch.
07:55I don't think you're gonna see a lot of high flying and a lot of risk taking in this match
07:59-up.
07:59I don't know, I think you might see it all.
08:01But you could, I think both these guys would prefer to keep it on the ground and
08:05wrestle and punish and punish and hurt and intimidate.
08:10Well, Stone Cold likely to grind it out if he thinks he can.
08:14And same with the Hitman, right back up now.
08:17Nice reversal.
08:21My goodness, look at that.
08:23Come on.
08:24Stone Cold rich down to the canvas.
08:27Bret looks to be in great shape.
08:29He does.
08:30He had a personal trainer to help get himself ready.
08:32He should be, all of his old nagging injuries should be fully healed at this point.
08:38Yes, but you could very well have a little ring loss, as you brought out earlier.
08:43The Let's Go Bret, and it seems to bother Stone Cold.
08:46And Stone Cold, I might add, was received relatively warmly by this capacity crowd.
08:52I guess for no other reason other than the appreciation of his athleticism.
08:56Top rest, yeah, yeah, nice takedown.
08:59Plus, it's New York City and folks are a little different.
09:01I don't know about that.
09:03Maybe a little more avid.
09:06That's about all.
09:07Bret not taking any chances here in the early going.
09:10Driving the knee and a small to the back.
09:15And again.
09:17I actually think the knee is driven right into the tricep.
09:20Seems like the hammerlock is a focus right now by Bret Hart.
09:28Bret's done it all here in Madison Square Garden, except beat Steve Austin.
09:33He won the title here at WrestleMania 10.
09:36I watched that on Pay Per View.
09:40Stone Cold now drives the Hitman to the rope, sets him up for the ride.
09:44Hold is broken, but that's a dropped toehold.
09:46That was done.
09:47Well, riding a little high, crossed him right into the hammerlock.
09:54Certainly some interesting things in the Superstar line.
09:58Rocky Maivia and Hunter Hearst Helmsley representing their teams.
10:02And I wanna listen to that one myself.
10:06I like to hear what Rocky says after his first victory.
10:09What a future he's got.
10:11Unbelievable what has occurred here tonight, live from the Survivor Series.
10:14The new tag team, LaFont and Furnace victorious in their first outing ever.
10:21Rocky Maivia, my goodness, elbow right into mush.
10:25Rocky Maivia doing, quite frankly, the impossible.
10:28And The Undertaker, I think, did almost what he wanted to do tonight.
10:33Austin driving the point of his elbow right in the spine of Bret Hart.
10:38Everything high impact thus far from Stone Cold.
10:41Whereas Bret Hart is attempting to utilize some science and leverage with a hammerlock.
10:47Nothing fancy about that.
10:50And Bret seems to be a little slow in getting up.
10:55And you wonder as this match wears on whether or not the effects of those
10:59devastating holds and blows of Steve Austin may not really take its effect on
11:03Bret Hart considering the six months off.
11:06Bret Hart has been a pro 12 years as he has mentioned many times.
11:10Steve Austin has only been a pro seven years.
11:13So I can tell you, Steve Austin from afar has watched Bret Hart.
11:17He has studied Bret Hart.
11:19And for some reason, it's been an obsession with Austin and
11:22Bret Hart over the years, even before Austin came here.
11:29And what an opportunity for
11:31Steve Austin to make a name for himself at the expense of Bret Hart.
11:34It sort of reminds you of the Gunslinger days.
11:37Where everyone wants to beat the fastest draw.
11:39Everybody wants to notch their gun.
11:41Right.
11:41A lot of young play-by-play men have that same thing with me.
11:45Is that right?
11:46It's embarrassing sometimes.
11:47Yeah, I know, but you're just so quick and so accurate.
11:49Well, you know.
11:50They don't stand a chance.
11:52The rest of them boys from Oklahoma.
11:56Bret Hart, you will note here, he's not being defensive, but I don't see a lot of offense here.
12:02It's mostly Steve Austin with the offense, and a wily veteran, Bret Hart, hoping it's Steve.
12:09Austin just might make a mistake.
12:11Look at this.
12:11Whoa, that's not gonna be a mistake.
12:13No.
12:15Well, that stunt gun will work.
12:17Hot shot like maneuver.
12:19Bret Hart dropped right over the top ring rope, and you can almost see all the air just rush out
12:24of
12:24Bret's body.
12:25Now Austin needs to capitalize here.
12:27For a high impact.
12:28Austin should go for the lungs, for the back.
12:31Drive the air out of it.
12:33And I don't care how much training you've been undergoing, there's nothing like taking a
12:37punishing.
12:38You can't take any training that's gonna prepare you for this kind of physicality.
12:42We take another look at this now.
12:43Look at this.
12:44JR, he just broke first right across the top rope.
12:49You can't get your breath, you can't swallow.
12:53And look at this, using the bottom rope now.
12:55Go right back to the place of the anatomy that you hurt.
12:59That's what Austin's doing.
13:00So right now, Bret Hart's neck is vulnerable.
13:04Let's see if Austin continues to focus on it.
13:07Stone Cold Steve Austin taking full advantage of every conceivable situation.
13:14And Bret Hart is paying the toll.
13:17Bret's upper body ready being ravaged here.
13:20And Stone Cold with unbelievable confidence in himself.
13:24No.
13:26Almost like a whiplash type situation.
13:29Imagine Stone Cold not only signing for the match of his life against Bret Hart.
13:36In addition to that, already signing for Monday Night Raw tomorrow night in a tough man contest.
13:45You wanna talk about tough, Vader one on one with Stone Cold tomorrow night.
13:50What kind of condition is Austin gonna be in for tomorrow night?
13:53That's a great question.
13:54We're gonna find out.
13:55No.
13:56Austin, the point of the elbow driven into the throat of Bret Hart.
13:59Everything upper body, see how focused Austin is.
14:03He doesn't go from the head, to the elbow, down to the leg, stays focused.
14:08This guy is in control.
14:10Austin is in control.
14:13He might be wasting a little time here.
14:16You don't want that Bret Hart to get that other breath.
14:18He just wants to get back in the ring.
14:23Austin reaching right over to give him a little assist, so to speak.
14:28Stone Cold Steve Austin, uh-oh, snap Bret Hart down to the apron.
14:36Stone Cold in control.
14:38Will we see the Stone Cold Stunner?
14:40Will that be the move that puts Bret Hart down tonight?
14:43It could be.
14:44That's I'm sure what Austin's looking for.
14:46I really believe though, Vince, it's gonna be a submission thing.
14:48We saw the snap bear take over, now the reverse chin lock again.
14:52All the focus on the head, the neck, the upper body of Bret the Hitman Hart.
14:58And you know, Austin is in ring shape.
15:00Austin's been wrestling a full, hectic schedule.
15:05That could be, and I really believe, it could be the deciding factor in this match.
15:09Conditioning over the long haul.
15:13Austin driving down into the throat area repeatedly in a cover there, but to no avail.
15:17And another.
15:19This is fatiguing Bret Hart, those continual lateral presses.
15:23I'm not so sure Austin really believed he was gonna get the pin there.
15:26But he was trying to fatigue even more Bret Hart.
15:29And mentally fatiguing, perhaps.
15:31A little psychology being employed, a lot of psychology being employed by Steve Austin.
15:36Although, I must say, Bret Hart, a master psychologist in his own right.
15:40Absolutely, and of course, right now, Bret Hart's either gotta counter the move,
15:45or try to bide his time, and hopefully, Steve Austin will make a mistake.
15:52Austin, right now, doesn't look like he's gonna make too many mistakes with this sort of attack.
15:57Very elementary, very straightforward.
15:59And if this continues, then Bret Hart is gonna be forced to be offensive.
16:04Bret Hart is gonna be forced to take the risk.
16:07Uh-oh, Slugfest here developing, and it takes off.
16:11Whoa, look at those punches fly.
16:14And a boot to the midsection, and Stone Cold wins the fist to cuff battle.
16:19Stone Cold now, driving that boot to the chest.
16:22Look at this, repeatedly into the pectoral area.
16:25Stone Cold wins round one of the fist fight.
16:27One, two, three, four.
16:30And again, right back to the throat, right back to the throat area.
16:35He wants to take the head off.
16:37Stone Cold Steve Austin sets up Bret Hart for the ride.
16:40Reversal.
16:41On the way.
16:43Big move there, now maybe Bret can regroup.
16:49And yes, reverse pile drive.
16:51Bret Hart now coming up.
16:53Yes.
16:54Inverted atomic drop will certainly get your attention.
16:57And now Bret Hart seems to be building some momentum.
17:00All right, here we go, coming off the rope, yes, Bret Hart now.
17:04Look at this, three, one, two, and.
17:07No.
17:08And again, Bret Hart with a near fall.
17:11Great roll up there by Bret, Austin's legs just so strong.
17:14Side Russian leg sweep.
17:17Austin's head bouncing off the canvas, Bret going for another cover, two, and.
17:21No, not hooking the leg there.
17:23Yeah, you don't see that too often.
17:26Bret Hart to not hook the leg and complete the pinning predicament.
17:29Here we go, and no, and Austin put on the brakes.
17:34Did you hear Bret Hart's sternum hit the top turnbuckle?
17:38Bret was going for a bulldog headlock.
17:40And like you said, Vince, Austin hit the brakes.
17:45Unbelievable maneuver is this matchup,
17:47unquestionably turning back around in favor of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
17:54Take a look at it.
17:55Take a look at this, sternum first, folks.
18:00Devastating impact.
18:02And the Hitman goes up the hard way, look at this.
18:06Now this is a page out of Bret Hart's book.
18:08Yes, it is.
18:08This is a Bret Hart maneuver right here.
18:10What's mainly in credence to your thought earlier about Austin using the sharpshooter.
18:16Stone Cold, Steve Austin, setting up Bret Hart.
18:21And if Stone Cold can execute this, no, whoa.
18:27Stone Cold got out of his domain there, and he paid for it.
18:31And the Hitman going up to the top, and-
18:36Bret Hart with a big move, can't execute the cover.
18:41Bret Hart with a huge move, but he couldn't get the cover.
18:46Here we go, he made, one, two in.
18:48A kick out by Austin.
18:52That little delay, as Bret was trying to regroup after the move off the top,
18:56may have cost him the pin right there.
18:57Yeah, but he just didn't have it, JR.
18:59He just couldn't capitalize on it.
19:00I agree with him.
19:01Break in the face.
19:02Wow.
19:02And you don't often see that when put in a position to be sidewalk slammed.
19:08Austin, very clever.
19:11And again, a seesaw matchup developing here between both individuals,
19:16Bret Hart and Stone Cold.
19:18No, Peter Robinson, you could see Stone Cold really setting him up for that.
19:23Stone Cold now has the opportunity to get a couple of deep breaths.
19:28And the thing about throwing someone to the outside,
19:32you really wonder what happens to them when they come crashing into the barrier or
19:35just in any fashion, is the weight of your own body.
19:38If your knee is underneath you or whatever, look at that.
19:41All kind of damage can be done, just landing on the outside.
19:46Double sledge there by Stone Cold.
19:48Uppercuts.
19:51Listen, those forearms crashing down to the back of Bret Hart.
19:57Stone Cold breaking the count.
19:59That's all he wanted to do there, break the count, more punishment.
20:04No.
20:06Bret hit on his lower back when he went through the ropes.
20:09And now Austin's intelligent enough to see that that body part has been weakened and capitalized.
20:20Austin, I really believe, would like to injure Bret Hart just like Austin did his former best friend,
20:25Brian Tillman, who's back in Cincinnati convalescing.
20:31Stone Cold Steve Austin.
20:34No, look out, unbelievable.
20:37Well, they break the security rating.
20:41They just broke the barricade.
20:45The referee's got to use a little discretion here.
20:49Nobody wants to see a disqualification or a count out.
20:55Bear with him, Rip.
20:59Austin, face first into the steel and you see the results.
21:06And this one is turning into a Donnybrook.
21:09Well, we knew it would be physical.
21:11We knew that all along.
21:13And that's exactly what we're seeing here now.
21:16However, Bret Hart wants to finish it in the ring.
21:18Bret Hart unquestionably with something to prove.
21:23And for that matter, you can say the same for Stone Cold.
21:27You're biding his time on the near side.
21:29Stone Cold rolled all the way out on the other side.
21:31And Bret Hart's coming right after him.
21:33And he has to.
21:34He has to do this.
21:35Well, he better.
21:36He has, you're right, he has to.
21:37And he better do it.
21:43Now we're gonna see how.
21:44Uh-oh.
21:54Unbelievable.
21:56Bret Hart's prepared.
21:57And Hugo Semenovich.
21:59Our Spanish commentators.
22:03Look at this.
22:04They're going underneath the table, they're all over the floor.
22:10I can't believe that Bret Hart was slingshotted right over the announce position.
22:16It seems like it always happens to the Spanish guys.
22:20And look at the effect that that had on Bret Hart.
22:31What an impact.
22:33And you see the effect of it.
22:35And I don't think Bret Hart is gonna get up from this.
22:38No, Steve Austin out here with Bret Hart now, sets him out.
22:47Well, I'll tell you something.
22:48Wait a minute.
22:49What's Austin gonna do now?
22:51Bret Hart's help.
22:51Check out now.
22:52One, two, three.
22:55Again, the point of the elbow right down into the heart of the Hitman.
23:02Nothing will stop Steve Austin.
23:04Nothing will stop him.
23:07Steve Austin on a mission to beat Bret Hart come hell or high water here at the Survivor Series.
23:18Watch this elbow.
23:20Watch the point of the elbow, folks.
23:22Right into the heart of the Hitman.
23:25And that's what's gonna be tested right now, the heart of the Hitman.
23:29I can't believe Bret Hart's on his feet.
23:33But what's left of the Hitman?
23:35What's left of Bret Hart?
23:37And does he have the heart to pull this out?
23:41Wow.
23:42Bret Hart's body.
23:43And even if he doesn't, ladies and gentlemen, even if he doesn't,
23:47you've gotta give Bret Hart credit for being everything he has been thus far.
23:56Well, Bret's gotta realize this is not 1991,
24:00where he beat Mr. Perfect in this arena for the Intercontinental title.
24:03It's not even 94 when he beat Yokozuna.
24:07On cover, he got him, he got him.
24:10No, he didn't.
24:13Bret Hart with a kick out, Stone Cold drives the elbow again.
24:18That's a hard family trait to never give up.
24:21This might be an exception, another cover, and another kick out.
24:25Austin's getting a little frustrated here.
24:28Stone Cold, I think, really thought he had the combination that he wanted,
24:32after all that activity on the outside.
24:34But Austin still cannot put Bret Hart away.
24:40That's capacity crowd very much behind the Hitman.
24:43And I don't even think the capacity crowd can help the Hitman at this juncture.
24:48It's all Stone Cold, Steve Austin, and now Stone Cold is really giving it to the fans,
24:56almost like he's giving it to Bret Hart.
24:58One, two, three.
25:00He has, Stone Cold has such disdain for fans.
25:04Look out.
25:07Well, fans think they're really doing something that Austin likes,
25:11and they do these Austin 316 signs.
25:13He could care less, absolutely could care less.
25:19Hard cover, one, two.
25:22Almost again.
25:23Absolutely amazing that Bret Hart could kick out.
25:28You gotta know, his body is ravaged with pain right now.
25:36The abdominal stretch.
25:46Austin looking for that submission.
25:49Right now, Austin with additional leverage on the top rope.
25:55Can you imagine what it would mean to Steve Austin's career from a marketing perspective,
26:01from a professional, his whole outlook, his own future.
26:07If he could say, I made Bret Hart quit in Madison Square Garden.
26:11And that's what he's trying to do right now.
26:13After that coloring, after that beating.
26:16One, two, three, four, break it up.
26:21Austin Barrett.
26:22Uh-oh, now, wait a minute.
26:23Don't do it, Steve.
26:24He does not want to be disqualified.
26:28Well, you know, he's had a lot of guts.
26:31He's been fearless the last month, but he doesn't want to be stupid now.
26:34Don't get disqualified.
26:37Answer the question, subtly arguing.
26:39Who's the better of the two?
26:41A block right out to the right hand, and blocks don't go.
26:45It's the fifth guy.
26:46They're trading close again.
26:51They're going, and then Madison's quick guard.
26:53Look at that, Bret Hart.
26:56Bret Hart's winning this last fight, round two, Bret Hart.
27:00He's like Evander Holyfield.
27:02He won't quit, he doesn't know how to quit.
27:08Austin reversing, now a double reversal after up.
27:13Austin Stonegum used against him.
27:16And what goes around comes around.
27:23There's Austin Stonegum.
27:23Man, this is taking a toll.
27:24Okay, Hitman Bret Hart can't capitalize.
27:26The ring rust here, apparent.
27:29And it's- Wait a minute, yes he can.
27:32Try to get his shoulders and shoot him, he got it.
27:35No, he didn't.
27:35Whoa.
27:39There's another, like you said,
27:41what goes around comes around, there's the waist lock, and there's Austin Stonegum.
27:47And look at this, Austin.
27:50Yes!
27:52Both men are fatigued, both men are hurt, this is a war.
27:57One, two, no, no.
28:02How do you like the athleticism of the World Wrestling Federation?
28:07This is what it's all about.
28:10Stone Cold Steve Austin has come to Madison Square Garden.
28:14To make a name for himself at the expense of Bret Hitman Hart.
28:24Backbreaker again, what a gut check for these two men.
28:30All right, here we go, here comes a wrist.
28:32Yeah, I don't- This one may backfire on the Hitman.
28:35I don't like this one.
28:37Yes, it does.
28:39This could be the beginning of the end.
28:41You can almost feel it, something bad is gonna happen to Bret Hart.
28:45Bret Hart taking a risk and now he's taking a beating from Stone Cold.
29:02Stone Cold sets up Bret Hart, he tried it before.
29:06Now wait a minute, he's going all the way up to the top.
29:09One, two, three.
29:10Another move from Bret Hart, top rope suplex.
29:15Unbelievable.
29:17Man, that takes a lot out, that takes a hell of a lot out of both men.
29:21Austin is hurt, he delivered the move.
29:24Wait a minute, Bret's got him.
29:26He's got it.
29:28What a maneuver that was.
29:31Whoa, I couldn't believe my eyes, what a maneuver.
29:36In the very spot where Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier got it on,
29:42you're seeing this kind of contact.
29:44Where else but right here in Madison Square Garden.
29:47And the World Wrestling Federation.
29:54There it is, it's over, it's over.
29:59Austin got it, Austin's pulling away the ropes.
30:02One, two, he got him.
30:07Man, big mistake, I think a big mistake by Austin.
30:11He hit his move, he should have gone to the cover there.
30:14One, two, go.
30:17Austin frustrated.
30:21Come on, get up, get up, get up.
30:23Austin can't believe that the Stone Cold Stunner didn't get it done.
30:28One, two, three.
30:28A kick out again.
30:32I tell you what, if we have another look at that Stone Cold Stunner,
30:36you're gonna see that Austin made a mistake.
30:38He pulled Bret away from the ropes, so Bret couldn't use the ropes to escape.
30:43That was a huge mistake by Stone Cold.
30:46And there's a Texas Cloverley, a submission move.
30:49You said it earlier, and here we go.
30:55Submission apply, but it's down in the lower.
31:02Bret Hart, will he submit, Austin's got those legs contorted, the back is bent.
31:10The pain has gotta be excruciating.
31:16This move hurts.
31:19And Bret making his way to the ropes and now the hold must be broken.
31:24Look at Austin, hold on, and hold on, and hold on to four.
31:32Austin's run roughshod.
31:34He's been above the authority, he's been above the law.
31:37And now Bret Hart must take the law into his own hands to survive at the Survivor Series.
31:44And the Hitman Bret Hart has taken unbelievable sums of punishment.
31:49And it might have, so is Stone Cold.
31:51One, two.
31:52Here we go, the Hitman now, for the run.
31:55No.
31:55No.
31:56My gosh.
31:57Bret's leg gave way, that knee gave way, and Bret went kidneys first into the ring post.
32:03I'm not so sure that that didn't result in a cracked rib.
32:07Bret Hart hit that ring post with the exposed ribs, and
32:12don't think Stone Cold is not going to take advantage of this.
32:15In the middle of the ring, a cover.
32:19And barely.
32:21Unbelievable.
32:21I mean, barely a kick out.
32:23Austin has got to be thinking this, sir.
32:24Where's the end of the look at it, JR?
32:27It was more than lower back.
32:29Yeah.
32:29No, look at this.
32:30Bowen Arrow.
32:31Bowen Arrow.
32:32Another submission move by Austin.
32:34Austin wants Bret Hart to quit in Madison Square Garden.
32:38He wants to humiliate him.
33:01One, two, three, come on.
33:04Austin is a whole lot more than a schoolyard bullet.
33:08One, two, three, two, three, come on.
33:12Steve Austin now being set up by the Hitman, off the rope, and here we go with a steeper hold.
33:17This is anybody's match, anybody's match.
33:21And Stone Cold trying to ram Bret Hart.
33:47The Hitman Bret Hart has met his match, JR.
33:50Absolutely.
33:51Boy, I'll tell you something.
33:53I don't know, Austin, I don't know what they're gonna, what are you gonna do to beat this man?
33:59Wait a minute, there's a million dollar dream.
34:02Yes.
34:05Form of a sleeper on the fly, let's see what the Hitman can do.
34:10Watch his match.
34:11One, two, three, and the riverbank.
34:17Austin couldn't let go of the hole.
34:19Austin couldn't let go of the hole.
34:21Austin couldn't let go of him.
34:23Million Dollar Dream and accosting the victory.
34:26Bret Hart countered Austin's own maneuver.
34:31You want to talk about someone, who knows, all the ropes.
34:37Well, the Hitman Bret Hart just taught Steve Austin a move.
34:42And some of the ropes, the likes of which he's never, ever seen before.
34:46Two points I wanna make here.
34:48Number one, Bret Hart will wrestle the WWF champion December the 15th in West Palm Beach at In Your House.
34:54Wait a minute, that means it could be one-on-one.
34:57The Hitman against Shawn Michaels, the matchup from WrestleMania.
35:03Or then again, notwithstanding, a matchup of the Hitman against Psycho Sid and Sidra Victoria is here tonight.
35:10The second point I wanna make is that this situation, this rivalry between Bret Hart and Stone Cold is far,
35:18far from over.
35:19Look at Austin, he's not taking his eyes off of Bret Hart.
35:23Steve Austin looking at the Hitman Bret Hart, ladies and gentlemen, yes.
35:28And we have not seen the last of this extraordinary competitor, and I don't think Bret Hart has either.
35:35Not that the Hitman would necessarily look forward to another encounter.
35:38What a matchup, what a competitor.
35:42And ladies and gentlemen, the Hitman is back.
35:46Look at the Hitman hunt in a speed
35:46and he sits.
35:47And we'll see you tomorrow.
35:47And now we won't experience anything, man.
35:48We'll see you tomorrow.
35:48Off the show.
35:48We won't see you tomorrow.
35:48We'll see you tomorrow.
