1997 WON WMOTY: SuperBrawl VII - WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Hollywood Hogan (c) (w/ Ted DiBiase & Vincent) vs Roddy Piper
So apparently Piper spent a week in Alcatraz to prepare for this match, so they’re going all out with this Piper is insane stuff The bell sounds and Hogan instantly steps out I guess Piper is fat since he’s wrestling with a shirt on. Piper goes after him and just starts brawling, hitting him in the eyes, low blows, biting, choking, etc. with the ref not doing shit Piper hits Hogan with a chair even though there has been no indication that this is no DQ shit why doesn’t the whole nWo just come interfere then. Michael Wallstreet tries to interfere and the announcers say if any nWo members get in the ring it’s a DQ oh so low blows and chair shots aren’t though :hm: Piper no sels everything I guess because Alcatraz made him hard or something, his dirty brawling is already getting pretty old, but Sting and Randy Savage make their way out now for some reason, but Sting decides to stay at the top of the ramp as the crowd chants for him hoping for a decision on whether him or Savage are with WCW or the nWo. Sting decides to just leave as Savage stays, but Hogan is in control now doing the same dirty brawling Piper was doing, but Piper is at least selling a little now. The ref warns Hogan about a low blow lol but Piper no-sells it anyway and locks in a Sleeper and they do the arm falling three times spot and it looks like Piper won, they rung the bell and everything, but meanwhile Savage gives Hogan brass knuckles and Hogan hits Piper and the ref counts the three count the announcers have no idea what’s going on, they try to explain the false finish, but obviously something fucked up, so they say Hogan was under the ropes even though I feel like he wasn’t Savage officially joins the nWo after, spray painting Piper, and celebrating with Hogan. The beatdown on Piper afterwards was easily better than anything that happened in the entire match, there was only one pin attempt during the whole thing lmao
PWI & WON MOTY: WrestleMania 13 - Submission Match (w/ Guest Referee: Ken Shamrock): Bret Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin
Vince McMahon talking shit about Bret on commentary We also got King and JR so FUCK YEAH. So in case you guys have never seen this in which case stop reading and go watch it, it’s a No DQ Submission match so basically an “I Quit” match, just without the name. So this just rules from start to finish, might be my favorite ‘Mania match ever tbh. They end up in the crowd like two minutes into the match, and Austin takes a fans drink and throws it on Hart Jerry Lawler on commentary yells at them to hit a fan wearing an nWo shirt We’re back to the ringside area with more fantastic brawling. In the ring finally, Hart starts working over Austin’s knee, but Austin is able to counter and hit an early Stunner, but Austin can’t win by pin Austin selling this knee is so fucking amazingly and Hart is able to lock in the ring-post Figure-4 Hart gets the ring bell and a chair into the ring, and puts it around Austin’s ankle, but Austin is able to get up and hits him in the fucking back so hard with the chair Austin kicks Hart right in the dick and they show a close up of Hart’s daughter hiding her face Austin goes for some basic submissions since he isn’t a submission guy, but Hart is able to fight out of them, so Austin tries the Sharpshooter, but Hart rakes his eyes bc he’s a dirty wrestler Back outside the ring, Austin is now bleeding really heavily. Hart continues working over Austin’s knee with the chair back in the ring. Austin desperately kicks Hart in the dick, and his face is pretty covered in blood at this point. Austin’s bloody brawling is so fucking great right here Austin starts choking Hart with some cords, but Hart nails him with the ring bell to avoid being hanged over the ropes. This lets Hart lock in the Sharpshooter in the center of the ring and we get the iconic moment of Austin, covered in blood, trying to fight out, but he ends up passing out due to the pain which gives Hart the win I FUCKING LOVE THIS MATCH I used to have this on a VHS with some other pre-98 Austin matches and it was by far the only match worth watching really, so I’d just fast forward and watch it a million times, and this still holds up just like it always has. After the match, Hart tries to attack Austin some more, but Shamrock takes him down solidifying the double turn Austin then stuns a ref that tried to help him and walks out on his own power to a standing ovation
WON FOTY: UFC 14 - UFC Heavyweight Championship: Mark Coleman (c) vs Maurice Smith
Smith says in the pre-fight interview that Coleman punches like a girl Young Bruce Buffer looking fly af. Smith is a kickboxer and Coleman is a wrestler, so two interesting dynamics for this one. Oh SHIT Big John McCarthy the referee Coleman takes Smith down early and stays on top for like 5 minutes, but fights really well from his back to keep it interesting. Coleman can’t get a choke, but he ends up in full mount because of it. Lol that headbutts aren’t illegal yet. Smith finally gets up and we’re both standing again at 9 minutes in. Coleman missed a takedown and Smith kicks him in the face, which is one of the few illegal things since Coleman was on all fours at the time, but it’s just a warning. Coleman looks tired af, but he still is able to get another takedown before Smith can utilize his kickboxing. Coleman still can’t do much on the ground though, Smith honestly looks better as he’s actively striking from his back. Smith lands a few nice shots in the last 30 seconds or so of the 15-minute time limit as they were back on their feet, but nothing huge. Coleman is tired af as the first 3-minute overtime period starts, so Smith works him over with strikes, hitting a couple solid combos. The second and last 3-minute OT starts now and it’s similar to the first, Coleman has to put his hands on his knees at times to catch his breath, but Smith can’t capitalize on much besides some leg kicks. some of the lights go out, but Big John says “LETS GO!” so they keep fighting with Smith just embarrassing Coleman on their feet until the time ends. That was pretty fun, definitely seen much better fights though. The refs give it to Smith unanimously which I agree with even though he spent most of regulation on his back, he was just more active during it, and then he destroyed Coleman towards the end on their feet since Coleman was tired af from not being able to do anything on the ground. This was a pretty big upset at the time too, probably a reason why it got FOTY as well.
