This is dubbed pretty baddly. JR wasn't even an announcer in the WWF until Wrestle mania 9; at least a year after this match would have taken place. By that time Hart was the WWF Champion, Flair was gone, Savage was color commentating more than wrestling and Mr. Perfect was wrestling again.
@trunkmonky1980 ur right, i never thought of it as back in 92, tmatch obv happend between WM8 and summerslam 92 as bret and savage won the titles at wm 8 and hart lost the ic at summerslam, and like u said jr started at WM9. A badly dubbed video.
4 of the greatest of all time is amazing enough, adding Mr. Perfect on the outside just makes the greatness even more immense...but Jim Ross AND Heenan on commentary to boot? This might just be the closest thing to perfection ever seen in the modern era of wrestling, hands down.
people always say that The Ultimate Warrior was loopy but I think Macho Man runs a very....VERY close second, hell he might even be crazier than Warrior lol
I like how JR is mentioning that Bret Hart has held the tag team, IC, and Heavyweight belts and could be the first to hold all twice, and this is a bit before he beat Flair for his first heavyweight reign. Jim Ross was right on the prediction though ahead of its time.
HUGE pops - mid match! - for slaps, a shoulderblock, and even just a shove! These wrestlers knew the Art of professional wrestling. Now it's all high spots and gimmicks.
What since when was shawn michaels wrestler of the 90's? E was a mulleted fool back then, me an my mates even liked marty jannety more then. DUBBED. Wrestler of the 90's? Hitman !
Hmm JR announced that Bret had been the WWF Championship prior to this match yet his first WWF Title win came in the fall of 1992 after losing the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam '92. Either JR made a slip up or the commentators were dubbed over the match and this match was released to video after Bret won the WWF Championship.
jim ross said something in error, at 2;28 ,bret hart wasnt the wwf champion until he defeated flair for the belt and that wasnt until months later after this match so this had to be a overdubb of him and brain commentating, i bet they over dubbed this in 93
@theraptorfan100 Definitely dubbed afterwards. There was never any reference to 'Wrestler of the 80's' regarding Flair or '90s' regarding Shawn at that time.
okay wait didnt j.r. debut in wreslemania 9? and didnt bret win his 2nd intercontiental title 1992 and then bret won the wwf champion 1993 in saskatoon???? how is this possible? he won the wwe title than lost it than gained the intercontinental???? becuz wrestle mania 8 was when he won the intercontinetal and bret won 3 months after to gain the wwe title!!! tell me how this is possible
@chadcinco1 Actually JR has been in the wwe 3 times , this vid is JR's first time , then he got fired , returned at wrestlemania 9 , got fired again and returned a 3rd time up until now =)
@chadcinco1 Bret dropped the IC title to Davey Boy Smith at Summerslam 1992, which is after Wrestlemania 8 where he beat Piper. Less than 3 months later he beat Ric Flair to become WWF Champion - the rest is history - Bret became the face of the WWF till he got screwed in 1997..
old school great from 1992.... this is so rare they did commentary after 1993.. at the time of this macth bret was still not a main eventer though he should have been..and jim ross wasnt in the company yet. he arrived in 1993 wrestlemania 9 when bret went in as champion against yoko...
How can Flair say Bret was'nt that great When He can go toe 2 toe against Shawn Micheals and go toe 2 toe with Stone cold.Flair could'nt do that with Stone cold. Bret is tougher than flair i've never liked flair WCW days everytime flair was on i turned over the channel NWO goldberg Bret hart and all that i liked to watch.
I really hate how they removed the original commentary and edited in Jim Ross voice! hey change it to somehow discredit and trivialize the achievements and ability of Savage&Hart!
The WWF revisionist history is blatantly obvious and beyond lame!
I tried watching some current WWE and it is not only unbearable but surely en-route to extinction! Fans are offered a very poor product these days!
All 4 of the other wrestlers in this clip are 3000 times more talented and entertaining than HBK!
@cream11 Actually JR has been in the wwe 3 times , this vid is JR's first time , then he got fired , returned at wrestlemania 9 , got fired again and returned a 3rd time =)
@brethartno1 This is how stacked it was then.. Shawn, who ruled with Taker as to really being on top, really entertaining, charisma, realism, the total package when he retired this year.. was at the bottom of the totem pole here.
My God, look at all that talent in there. 5 legends. You can debate who's the best in that ring, but you can't deny that they can all be described as the best.
The Commentary for this match was made very late.. JR didnt make his debut until Wrestlemania IX; and he mentions that Bret has held the WWF Championship but Bret and Savage both came into this match with the IC & WWF Titles (respectively)..
Exactly. Bret Hart would go on to win the title later that year in October, after Bret lost the I-C title at SummerSlam to the British Bulldog and Savage lost the world title to Flair a few days later. Then Bret beat Flair for the world title and never held the I-C again.
Macho Man enters to 'Pomp and circumstance'- I love it! This is what WWE should aim for. Big matches with charismatic competitive athletes who are bigger than their gimmicks.
