WrestleMania 13

When Wrestlemania 13 came along in 1997 the Wrestlemania magic just wasn't there. It was mostly filled up with mathes no one really cares about such As Fatu Vs Rocky, Goldust Vs Triple H and Sid Vs the Undertaker. Sid vs The Undertaker was the worst main event in Wrestlemania history. The match it self was slower then a game of chess. Also there was no build up to the match at all. The only good thing about this Wrestlemania was the Bret "The Hitman" Hart Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. What really should of been the main event. Austin should of won the world title at the final four PPV and become a baby face right after that. And then Bret should of beat Austin for the World title at this PPV. But keep the match just like it was in this PPV with Bret turning heel and Austin turning face.

The submission match between Stone Cold "Steve Austin" and Bret The "Hit Man" Hart was the best match of Wrestlemania 13. It put the high standards of all Wrestlemania's forever. The match involved a special referree Ken Shamrock, who is a submission fighter. Wrestlemania 13 produced a "double turn" as Bret Hart turned "heel" and Stone Cold turned "face" in the same match. Bret Hart rendered Austin unconscious using the Sharpshooter, while Austin was a bloody mess. We now get the famous close up of Austin bleeding while trying to power out. Austin trys to get out, but Bret refuses and locks it back on. Shamrock asking Austin if he gives up, but recognizing that Austin does not respond and suddenly with loss of blood, passes out from the pain. The famous picture of Austin being put in the Sharpshooter and with a bloody face, will forever be remembered as one of the greatest moments in Wrestlemania History.

Gee, where do I start? The only two good matches were the Chicago Street Fight and Bret/Austin. Everything else blew. Hell, The Free For All match was better then most of the card! The Rock/Sultan match was so boring that I would of rather had a root canal

NOT RECOMMENDED.

I Don't What to Bash the Effort that the Wrestler Put in the 13th Wrestle Maina but if you Comapre it to the Wrestle Maina XII the Year Before and Wrestle Maina XIV the Year After but Wrestlemania XIII not the Greatness that a Wrestlemaina is

Like i said I Don't What to Bash the Effort that the Wrestler Put one of my Fav was the Austin/Hart Maitch the Sycho Sid/Undertaker WWF Title Mitch was a Great one

but Dispit those Great Maitch it was not a Great Wrestlemaina like ones in the Past and Todays

it Sorry Effort of a Wrestlemaina Event but on it own it a Great Event

I was at this Wrestlemania live in Chicago. As most wrestling fans know this was set to be the long awaited rematch between Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels from the previous years Wrestlemania. Shawn pulled out of the match some time earlier claiming a "career ending" knee injury. This may have been some kind of "blessing in disguise" as in it's place we had Steve Austin taking the place of Michaels,and one of the greatest matches in Wrestlemania history (if not THE greatest)ensued in a Austin/Hart submission match,with UFC veteran Ken Shamrock as special guest referee.

What was most interesting about this match was the infamous "double turn" of both participants. Hart was the baby face,or good guy heading into this bout,with Austin as heel,or bad guy. By the end of this match the roles had been reversed which is something not easily done over the course of one match.

While Austin's popularity was on the rise prior to this match,it was this night that he really cemented himself as a big time,main event guy.

Aside from this match there wasn't a whole lot else going on here,at least nothing of note,other than The Undertaker winning his second WWF title from Sid Vicious,with some assistance from Bret Hart.

Definitely worth viewing strictly for the Austin/Hart match,which really is one of the greatest matches in this events history.
