Guest wwefan4ever_brethartrulz_18 Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Like it says, rate the match.
Guest godthedog Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 eh...probably ***1/2 or ****. very very good match, but the iron man match absolutely blows it away.
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 ****. It was certainly something special, but missing that certain something.
Guest Tim Cooke Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 ***. Flair and Bret never worked good together. Tim
cawthon777 Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Probably ***1/2. The fact that they actually had a title change for an untelevised match at a TV taping and the fact that Bret Hart beat Ric Flair via submission pushes it to ****
Guest Andy Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 I really enjoy this match, although it's fair to say that the Ironman Match was better. I'd go **** for the title change, and ****.75 for the Ironman Match. Best wishes, Andy
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 This match is one of the reasons I paid 3 bucks on Ebay for the Smack 'em Whack 'em tape. It's **** easy. The other good match is Bret vs Shawn in a ladder match for the IC title, although its not as good as some of the more famous ladder matches..
Guest Nathan J Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Is there a commercial tape with the iron man match on it?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Nope. It was recorded on a hand-held, so it's basically a bootleg, but you can get it from basically any tape-dealer. It's worth every penny.
cawthon777 Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 The only thing you'll have to worry about is quality. The other matches on the recording are Money Inc / Nasty Boys, Bigelow / Typhoon, and Taker / Papa Shango...but the Ironman is the only thing noteworthy.

I think Money Inc. vs Nasty Boys went about 15 minutes. Best wishes, Andy

IIRC the Typhoon/Bigelow match is where Typhoon's fat ass breaks the ring isn't it? He goes into the corner to bounce off and breaks a whole rope off.

Guest jm29195 Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Most of that match has been released commercially on a video called Bret Hitman Hart, his Greatest hits , in the uk, this video has also got the 1st ever Bret/Shawn ladder match on it
Guest Grenouille Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 I'd call it ***, I didn't get the feeling they were comfortable working together.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 22, 2002 Report Posted November 22, 2002 The saskatoon switch is on the same Coliseum tape (Smack 'em, Whack 'em) as the ladder match, unless you're talking about a whole different tape altogether.
Guest BAR Posted November 22, 2002 Report Posted November 22, 2002 I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't released in the UK, although you do get another Bret/Flair match on Invasion 1992, probably the least favourite of their matches.
Guest Rob Edwards Posted November 22, 2002 Report Posted November 22, 2002 The saskatoon switch was available on Smack em Whack em over here but now Silvervision can't sell the tapes it may be hard to find
Guest dreamer420 Posted November 23, 2002 Report Posted November 23, 2002 I don't think the Iron Man match was ever released on Video by the WWF was it? I always thought just the tape of the house show was available.
cawthon777 Posted November 23, 2002 Report Posted November 23, 2002 It wasn't released; the WWE still likes to pretend that HBK / Bret was the first.
Guest dreamer420 Posted November 24, 2002 Report Posted November 24, 2002 That sucks. Does anyone know anywhere to get that match?
Guest Kagato Otaku Posted November 24, 2002 Report Posted November 24, 2002 Check auction and tape trading sites. It'll be a multi-generation boot probably, and you'll be lucky if sound and picture are decent enough to view.

I was actually lucky enough to get a copy off eBay about 3 years ago that I could swear is 1st generation. The quality is superb, probably the best I've seen in all the handhelds I've come across.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted December 6, 2002 Report Posted December 6, 2002 I'd give it around ****1/4
Guest Loss4Words Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 ***, meaning it was solid. The match kinda bored me actually. I used to enjoy the Ironman match, but the more I watch it now, the more I find flaw with it. Anyway, here's my rating on all the Bret v Flair matches that I have seen. Wrestlefest '92 comm - ***1/2 (their best match) 10/12/92 - *** 01/09/93 (Ironman) - ***1/2 01/24/98 - ***1/4 Both have had better matches with other opponents.
