We like it because:
There’s a reason 1997 is still one of the most talked about years in WWE history. It didn’t just transform WWE, but the entire world of sports-entertainment.
This special roundtable discussion pulls back the curtain further than ever before, giving insights into how it all went down backstage – and the Superstars who would go on to dominate the Attitude Era. There are fascinating stories along the way – such as how The Rock came up with his “know your role” catchphrase, and what it was like behind-the-scenes before Kane made his epic debut in the first ever Hell in a Cell match – and longtime fans will enjoy getting up close and personal with the legendary Superstars. It also delves into serious subject matters as they look at the fallout from the Montreal Screwjob and the real- life hatred for DX.
But it wouldn’t be WWE without some hard-hitting in-ring action – and this set boasts an incredible collection of matches.
There are some “Stone Cold” classics – such as Bret Hart and Steve Austin’s WrestleMania 13 war – but also lesser-seen matches from Shotgun Saturday Night and Raw, which were just as important in changing the landscape of WWE.
A must-have collection for diehard fans – and an important lesson on the history of WWE!
