THE FUDERATION

It’s night two of Hitman Week and we are here to take a look at two matches from the illustrious career of Bret Hart as we celebrate his career on our way to episode #200, WWF Survivor Series 1997.

Tonight, we will look at Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog from SummerSlam 1992 and Bret Hart vs Owen Hart in a cage at SummerSlam 1994.

But if you’re a member of our $5 and up Patreon, not only do you get to listen to this episode “Live & Loud” but you will also be treated with a “Triple Feature” as we take a look back at Saturday Nights Main Event in 1987 when Bret Hart took on The Macho Man!

Its night one of Hitman Week and tonight we chronicle the early days of Stu Hart, the rise and fall of Stampede and the history of the Hart family.

It’s November 23rd, 1997; WCW vs NWO Word Tour is about to hit shelves, Metallica says “Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme hash hodja desal” and in WCW it’s an all-out war times 3! This is #195 WCW World War III 1997.

As we gear up towards our WCW finale, Starrcade 1997; there is still no sign of Sting on WCW pay-per-view and that fact alone boggles my mind. Its a questionable show that will make you ponder many aspects of it, like; why do people believe Sting grew all of a sudden to be 7ft tall? And how does one actually watch a three ring battle royal? Join as as we chat WCW in all its glory.

It’s November 30th, 1997; Crash Bandicoot 2 is well on its way to being the PSOne’s best seller up this point, Tenacious D makes its debut on HBO with a show of the same name and in ECW it’s a November to Remember!

We pick up where we left off in ECW with a new ECW Champion in Bam Bam Bigelow, Tommy Dreamer is a broken mess and November To Remember is ECW's biggest gate yet.

Its October 5th, 1997; The Deftones tell us to “Be Quite & Drive”, Morgan Freeman is in the #1 movie in the land with “Kiss the Girls” and in the WWF it’s the debut of Hell in a Cell!

We also run down the final days of Brian Pillman, who would pass away on this day and how the WWF would handle the situation. Also on the show is a lacklustre undercard plus the much anticipated debut of Kane.

It’s October 26th, 1997; Green Days “Nimrod” is in record stores, teenagers are flocking to theaters to see “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and one year after Piper’s WCW debut he vows to finish Hogan in a cage. This is WCW Halloween Havoc 1997!

While the last half might be hard to watch aside from a fun match between DDP and Macho Man, the undercard is tremendous, capped off with a classic Mask vs Title match between Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero.

It’s September 22nd, 1997; Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee sees its release on the PlayStation, ER is about to open up its fourth season with a live episode and in the WWF the Austin vs McMahon angle officially kicks off! This is FOS: WWF Raw is War #226.

If you were watching the WWF in the mid 90’s you can’t help but remember Hakushi, with his all white attire and Japanese symbols all over his body. Tonight, we take a look at the two matches from his career; this is The Jinsei Shinzaki Double Feature Show!

This week we are joined by Jim Vicious from SCL and Scotty from Satpod/Horror Cult Club as we watch matches against The Great Muta and The Undertaker, perhaps telling one of the most intriguing story told in the 90s.

It’s September 7th, 1997; The Verve have a minor hit in “Bittersweet Symphony”, a Steven Segal movie is the number one movie in the land and in the WWF, Stone Cold has a broken neck and his is angry. This is WWF In Your House: Ground Zero!

Join us for “The Fuderation Live & Loud” on Patreon with guests Rod & Todd Fudge!

It’s September 14th, 1997; people all around the world are asking themselves what exactly is “Tubthumping”? Michael Douglas has a #1 movie in ‘The Game’ and in WCW the Horseman take on the nWo in War Games. This is WCW Fall Brawl 1997!
