The Big Five Project returns to cover one of the threshold moments in WWE history as we continue to transition from the New Generation to the Attitude Era. On this episode, Dave and PC Tunney are thrilled to welcome Christopher Platt to the Big Five project for the very first time. On this installment, we review and analyze WrestleMania XIII. While certainly not the strongest of the Attitude Era WrestleManias, this March evening in Chicago, in 1997, would forever change the landscape of WWE. It was a night that saw the Undertaker win the WWF Championship for the first time in six years. It was also a night that saw a wild Street Fight between Chicago’s favorite sons, the Legion of Doom, teaming up with Ahmed Johnson, to tangle with the Nation of Domination. On this evening, Rocky Maivia would make his WrestleMania debut and would share a WrestleMania moment with his father, Rocky Johnson. But, all of those pales in comparison to one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history as Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret “Hitman” Hart squared off in a brutal submission match, that would culminate in the most famous double turn in pro wrestling history. For most of us, it was a WrestleMania that was quite a but better than we recalled. Will you agree? Tune in and find out!
