WrestleMania 13

This was a two match card. Fortunately one match changed the WWF which turned the promotion into the most sucessful period in wrestling at that time. Everything on the undercard barring the decent tag match between Hart/Smith vs Vader/Foley was so/so. The submission match between Hart-Austin is one of the greatest matches of all time. This was than followed by the street fight between NOD and LOD/Ahmed. The main event Sid Vs the Undertaker was alright, it wasn't the best and it shouldn't have been the main event. The main event should have been Austin & Hart, atleast check out Wrestlemania 13 for that submission match, you want be disappointed.

In my opinion 1997 was one of the WWF's best years. So much happened during 1997. The Undertaker had some great matches. Ditto Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. The New Hart Foundation feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stars such as Mankind and Ahmed Johnson improved throughout the year and the tag team scene was phenomenal.

In the main event Sycho Sid battled the Undertaker. These two had wrestled in mediocre matches during late 1991/early 1992 but this match was brilliant and exceeded my expectations.

Bret Hart had an entertaining scrap with Stone Cold Steve Austin in a match refereed by Ken Shamrock. Great match but I've never understood why Bret was booed after the match.

Goldust and Hunter Hearst Helmsley had a good match too and performed above their usual standards.

There were many other great matches as well. One of my favourites pitted Davey Boy Smith and the late Owen Hart VS Vader and Mankind in a mega match.

This was a great event. For some reason even the mediocre wrestlers gave 110% and put on a good show for the fans. This event was the way things should be all the time.

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.

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.

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
