Episode 113: WWF SummerSlam 1997 (Hart & Soul)

This one was pretty damn memorable for a few reasons. The Hart Foundation was all over the WWF, the Undertaker was on top, Stone Cold Steve Austin was breaking through as "the next big thing," Shawn Michaels was a "bad boy babyface," Mankind was having an identity crisis while feuding with Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and new factions were cropping up all the time. Besides the "gang warfare" going on inside the WWF, they were battling it out with WCW every Monday night as Raw duked it out with Nitro for ratings and, at this point, was consistently losing. The injury bug bit the WWF hard during this time and it was about to strike one of their fastest rising stars on this show as Owen Hart injures Steve Austin badly enough where it leads to what causes his retirement down the line. Also, Bret Hart may be in the World Title match in the main event of this show, but we're in the countdown! We're T-minus 3 months away from the Montreal Screwjob and Bret being GONE FOREVAH, BRO!!! There's also a HILARIOUSLY AWFUL million dollar giveaway where no one gets a damn thing on this show. It's so...damn...bad! Tune in and get some Hart & Soul!
