It'd be interesting if they were doing that, but as is seen, we are paying attention.

This mania overall was average in quality with an all timer in the middle of it. The only other noteworthy thing was that Chicago street fight with The Nation and L.O.D. Very brutal match. At the time the Hart and Austin match was really a audible decision because if things would of played out as originally thought of then it should of been the rematch with Hart and Michaels. The Hart and Austin match was really violent. I remember as a kid being legit worried for Bret's well being through that match since I was such a Bret fan. On top that it was the 2nd matchup they had, and that seems to get lost. I rarely hear anyone refer to the match Austin and Hart at the Survivor Series that November before Mania. That match was just as good.

Another fact: Undertaker was in a minor car accident the day before

Oh come on Adam you left out the biggest fact of them all. Shawn vacating the belt because he didn't want to drop it to Bret. "I lost my smile." And what about The Rock being the first 3rd generation wrestler to compete at Mania?

The fact that this WrestleMania was 20 years ago baffles me...

I don't care because I loved watching & seeing "Bret the Hitman Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin" & "Psycho Sid vs the Undertaker" two of the best memorable Wrestlemania matches ever hands down despite what others think & say about it.

You guys left out the biggest mania 13 fact! Shawn was meant to face Bret for the WWF title in the main event and Shawn was meant to drop to Bret to repay the favour the Hitman done for him at mania 12 but he faked an injury then lost his smile and handed over the title. What an unprofessional loser he was back then!

False. Vince Mcmahon's right hand man Bruce Pritchard confirmed that the idea of Shawn dropping the title to Bret was NOT the plan...and didn't know where that rumor came from. Goes to show that you can't believe everything you hear from dirtsheet writers.

@@cfhar080591 He backed up Bret's claim of Hogan refusing to drop the title to Bret in 93'.....he's got no reason to lie in this instance. Bret himself has never claimed Shawn was supposed to drop to him at WM 13. In fact, by all accounts Shawn was scheduled to drop the title back to Sid prior to WM13.....not Bret Hart. Looking back on how it all ended up playing out in early 97', it points to Sid being the middle man between Shawn and Undertaker. Once Shawn went home, Bret filled that role.

This was my first Mania and I started watching WWE because of the Undertaker so this will always be a favourite to me.

I was there at wrestlemania 13 all the way up in the nosebleed section I was about 9. It was a good show but unfortunately at that time wcw was dominating the ratings, that's why it didn't sell in tickets or ppv buys

I love your videos, very informative and entertaining! Keep posting guys!!!

Loving this series of videos, keep up the fantastic work!

*Curt Henning And Shamrock ref'd at Wrestlemania 13 not 33 It's Adam o clock mother fuckers!!!

the main event was supposed to be wwf champion Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart with the hitman getting the win and title but hbk refused to drop the belt to bret makes you think what would have happened if they had gone through it then maybe bret would have dropped the title to hbk at survivour series, thankfully the Austin v bret submission match was awesome, arguably better than the iron man match at the previous mania.

Learn something new everyday I had no idea Kevin Shamrock reffed the WrestleMania 33 main event. In the word of Ron Simmons, DAMN!

I love this ongoing series! Keep it up....no matter what the "Trolls" complain about.

The sound of Linda McMahons babyboy Mick Foley hitting the floor during that edit about him going w/o surgery has me in tears lmaooo 😭 😂. What a legend.

1997 is my favorite (and in my opinion the best) year of the Attitude Era. It was the perfect blend of long-term storytelling, high quality matches, and new school Attitude. 1998 ushered in all the relentless hotshots and inconsistent storytelling and title changes almost every week on RAW

"Least Bought Wrestlemania ever" At least until this one

What about that fact that Sid shat his pants whilst in the match with the Undertaker?

On top of the kurt misspelling, you called ken kevin and wrestlemaina 13 33. just pointing that out

11. Colt Cabana was in the crowd, and he hit an LOD member during the street fight. These are on camera.

2:27 - did Adam just call Ken Shamrock "Kevin" Shamrock?

it's Curt

Even with the crappy buyrate, this was one of the most important shows in WWE's history because of Steve Austin's meteoric rise as a kick-ass face and the industry-changing direction of the product to something less cartoonish.

Ahmed Johnson definitely did NOT donate those shoulder pads to the Dallas Sportatorium after Hawk died. That venue was demolished 8 months before Hawk died and it had been closed for 5 years by that point. My school bus used to pass the boarded-up Sportatorium every day in the late 90s and I was always disappointed I'd never see a wrestling show there.

Love these so damn much

3 additional facts… 1. The obvious - Bret Hart was supposed to defeat Shawn Michaels for the WWF Title. 2. The Undertaker was in a car accident the day before the show but still managed to compete. 3. Goldust and HHH very nearly came to blows backstage because Chyna was too rough with Marlena.

Really looking forward to the Mania 14 one.

Austin Bret was epic that match alone saved this pay per view and taker became champ!

That stone cold/ Bret hart was phenomenal. I felt like I was going to be sick after the blading

I love adam's synonyms for WWE

I trained for the pro ranks under Gentleman Chris Adams and Tony (Ahmed Johnson,) was a part of WCCW/GWF with me as Moadib. (I also knew Skandor Ahkbar, and he trained him, but kind of glad he found Putski's school in Austin. Gave him what he needed. Sure wish I had. Skandor was a good teacher but past his prime when I knew him and really wasn't a good worker.) Tony was such a nice guy and should have done well in the WWE. I always wondered what happened and why it didn't work.

The Undertaker Wins.......... Wrestlemania 13-WWF Champion Wrestlemania 23- World Heavyweight Champion Wrestlemania 33- Jobs to Roman Reigns WWE's "DEADMAN"!

"If only he had a single word with which he could express frustration and/or disbelief." DAMN!

For those younger fans who are asking why it is not 24 manias for taker... they'll get to that at Wrestlemania 2000 (16)

It's Curt Hennig Not Kurt Hennig

wow I just cannot believe it was the least bought mania along with that many seats still available. To me it was one of my all time favs especially since am huge taker fan and he Finally got the title after many years.

Doctor: Mr Foley, we're going to have to give you an epidural injection directly into your central nervous system due to the amount of pain you're in. Foley: Imma just put ice on it.

keep em coming.... Wrestlemania 13-17-20

WrestleMania 13 Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Goldust This match would see Hunter and Goldust have a singles match with both of their escorts being present ringside,this would lead to the shocking debut of the 9th Wonder Of The World who would aid Hunter in his win over Goldust. Rocky Maivia vs Ahmed Johnson- WWF IC Title This match would see the unthinkable with Rocky being assisted by Ron Simmons/Nation Of Domination to retain his title but would actually join The Nation breaking his fathers heart. Vader vs Mankind-Falls Count Anywhere This would be a fallout between Vader/Foley with this resulting in Mankind choking out Vader with the Mandible Claw after failing to win the Tag Titles at Royal Rumble. The Undertaker vs Stone Cold This match would come about after failing to win the Number 1 Contenders match and seeking revenge would target The Undertaker requesting a match at WrestleMania. Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels-WWF Title This would be the rematch at WrestleMania 13 with Hart finally turning heel and deciding to place Michaels into the SharpShooter and instead of celebrating his WWF Title win would try to break the back of HBK.

I have a prediction some guy will make a comment predicting what culture will make more facts video about the next wrestle mania

I remember seeing Ron Simmons take that bump when i was kid and always wondered if he actually got hurt from it, because it was a nasty spill.

Perfect time for my Internet to turn back on after a week

1997 was attitude era despite what people say it started in 98.

"Vince's temple of going mental" that actual a really catchy nick name for WWE, I think it should called that from now on in the what culture vids.

Another fun fact is that psycho Sid has that same record with the Royal Rumble pay-per-view as well he only wrestled twice at the Royal Rumble in 92 and 97 both was in the WWF title match

You should do top wwe movies there is surprisingly a ton
