After the match's end, I've noticed two eery coincidences:
1. Bret Hart drove the chair into DDP's knee like Steve Austin did to him (Bret) over a year earlier. (Not as many times as Austin did, but still...)
2. DDP's screams while in the Sharpshooter make me recall Brian Pillman's screams from after when Austin attacked his already-injured ankle. (It's that convincing!)
who did bret win the US title from. also when did bret win the heavyweight title i've never seen him actually get the belts just lose and defend them.
Outside of Benoit, DDP was Bret's best matches in WCW. They had a couple pretty good ones in 98. While Goldberg had his streak still goin after he won the world title, the US belt became a lot more important
You gotta love the theme from DDP. It suited so well to him.
Meh but what I hate are these Dusty Finishes in WCW... It killed somehow the match, yet I still admire how well Bret plays the Heel. Truly the Best there is, the Best there ever was and the Best there ever will be.
@masterpete24 he drops to his knees @ 6:37 seling the move wrong, or taking it wrong, or how ever you want to say it. you fall on your stomach. The ace crusher/cutter your suposed to fall flat on your stomach. Not your knees. on a side note never understood why Bret attacked the leg to set op the hsarpshooter, the pressure is on your lower back...
@BigSky1322000 oh, k fine, he took the move like a stunner, diddn't know he's supposed to fall on his stomache but Bret clearly layed down for DDP since he attacked him right after anyhow,hahaha
just watched rodman and hogan vs malone and ddp, didnt know this match happened,jokes,but if Bret botched the cutter move then so did hogan in that match at 2:34 of the other video.
This is Hogan your talking. I'm a huge Hogan mark, but dude has botched SOOO many people's moves over the years it's sad. Go look up Undertaker v Hogan from a few Years back. Worst Chokeslam EVER lol.
great match with great wrestlers!i was a kid when i see this match first time in october 1998....this after halloween havoc..last night bret defending youre title vs sting!on next week bret atack lex luger...and after on next nitro...will be next victim konnan from wolfpac....bret will be unstopoble!
Babyface or Heel, Bret was simply amazing. And one of the last greats. And was amazing with wrestling psychology. DDP paid his dues and deserved his spot on top. And also had very good psychology, though abit lacking in wrestling ability. Pity WCW was just horrible with politics and having the wrong people in creative control.
Eric B said that Bret never had it after coming to WCW. It wasn't totally WCW's fault. Bret lost the fire that he had in WWF, and I can totally understand why
understandable, but i think one of wcw's biggest mes up's was handling bret, man they could've have gotten ridiculous heat, after survivor series, i think they could have made breat a huge face... coming from a canadian though
They could have easily built the entire company around Bret and put WWE on their ass, especially after the BS of SS 97. If u watched the Bret Hart DVD, Vince even admitted that he was fortunate that WCW didn't grasp what they had.
lol, you mean like how EVERY week the good guy wrestlers would be a 3 count away from victory and the entire nwo would pile in the ring and beat them down until sting dropped from the ceiling and beat them all up?
man i remember this match from the day fater Halloween havoc '98 this i back when wrestling was really good.i guess wcw wanted to give page props for that great match he had with Goldberg the previous night. but then ddp had to pay for his win.damn!
Bret & DDP always had great matches. DDP is so under-respected for his accomplishments and in ring ability. I don't need to say that about Bret hart, everyone knows how great he always was. I'm WCW that US title meant something. This match coming the night after DDP has a great Halloween Havoc match vs Goldberg for the World Title. WCW 4 life! (I refuse to watch WWF/E but love TNA)
Does anyone know if WCW planned this win ahead of time? I can't help wondering if they just saw the cheers DDP got in the Goldberg match and decided to put him over another way.
lets just pray TNA gets as gd as WCW someday.and over does WWE with popularity.Kurt Angle and Booker T And kevin nash and Steiner and Sting are good starters to get TNA great.
I was pissed when I first watched this back then I was like how in the hell do they let Bret Hart lose to this piece of shit... Lol but that was then and I actully like ddp!
Lol...I thin when he went to wcw he had to add the ever to the second line. This match was pretty good. DDP is a fuckin homo though...like he wasn't a good wrestler at all.
just because he was a fan favorite, doesn't make him a good wrestler. He was branded, or sold, as a fan favorite. Anybody can be sold to be liked. So don't tell me I'm full of shit, just so you can run your mouth off.
wow are your a stupid smark, If that was true Batista wouldn't of had bundles of tumbleweed going past him at The royal rumble when the final 3 did their taunts.
ddp went pro at 35... 35. the guy isnt a joke. i bet you were a goldberg fan, with his two moves. he was a fan favorite because he was a worker. he always put on a good show... well until he got to wwe.
because he was paid...ooohhh...and he originally did boxing ppv's...personally i think he just did it for the pay day and just didnt give a shit about anything goin on
i think the match the day before (vs sting at halloween havoc was better.. lol btw the day u added this video is the exact day of halloween havoc 1998! lol one day b4 dis match!
Yup, one of the greatest matches of that year. The ending didn't bother me that much, since Bret was a heel and kept swinging chairs after the match, LOL.
After the match's end, I've noticed two eery coincidences:
1. Bret Hart drove the chair into DDP's knee like Steve Austin did to him (Bret) over a year earlier. (Not as many times as Austin did, but still...)
