Gome of the Week
Now calm down, we don't mean Bret Hart all the time. Just when he beat Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental Title and, in the process, put him out of wrestling for quite a while by causing him a serious back injury.
Otherwise, he's hell in a cage.
This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
Curt Hennig - Find out some stuff about the guy who was as close to perfect as you could get in the squared circle. We'll all miss him.
This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
SummerSlam '91 (1991)
It truly is a match made in heaven.
SummerSlam '91 features not only the long awaited marriage of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, but also Mr. Perfect taking on Bret "The Hitman" Hart in defense of his Intercontinental Title.
Mr. Perfect loses the title, but the match is well fought and a fine reminder of what a damn fine grappler he was.
Also features Ted "The Million Dollar Man" Dibiase against his old butler Virgil. That shit's hilarious.
Three hours of good times and great moves.
