[8.0] "Best match on the card i just wish there was a bit more of it. The finish whille not bad didnt do as much as i would want for a match this hot. And the constent brwaling while very cool at the start dose get a tad bit to much. Still austin is the devil here and bret is god. Owen also gives a great acount of himself seling evrything well. Most of the other guys are kind of justthere to be big starts and do the moves exapt for pilmen who is just so good at being the little rat always halping his team. Overall just a super fun watch. They dont do em like this no more"

[10.0] "The greatest house show tag ever, essentially everything you could ever want in terms of milking a crowd reinforced by good storytelling and a great Austin/Bret feud at the heart. It's arguably the WWE GOAT (definitely to this point) who's also half of one of the best tag teams, the other half of that tag team, plus 3 amazing singles wrestlers on one side. The other side is a man who'd also fight to become WWE's GOAT, 2 excellent workers, and maybe the best tag team ever. I mean, come on. Post match is awesome, security takes the losers away, STONE COLD IS ARRESTED like Mr. McMahon, and half the people with floor seats end up in the ring. The Hart family's last moment in the sun before everything, and I mean everything, came crashing down in a very short period."

[10.0] "A match in what could be said as one of the best crowds WWE ever performed in front of. Everyone played there role's perfectly, especially Stone Cold. Steve Austin was close to starting a riot with the stuff he was doing as the face/heel dynamic switching in Hart's hometown made it electric."

[9.0] "This match is too much fun. The Canada crowd is absolutely nuclear for its entirety -- they are so loud that the camera even shakes at certain points. The match itself is pure chaos and a total blast to watch. It's great hearing the crowd go nuts every time someone from the Canadian side gets tagged in. The side storylines of Austin and Owen getting hurt added some nice moments. The finish felt a bit abrupt, but it also played into the madness that was happening. ****1/2"

[8.0] "Chaotic match with full action. Now in this era, the multi-tag are spotfest with crazy moves and crazy sequences, this is a war full of hate, the Hart Foundation, heels in WWF but babyface's in canadian soil is very funny. The match for me is good, not a incredible war because the match is a repeat after repeat after tags but is a curious style, of course my favourite part is Stone Cold trying to beat up every Hart he see. ****/25"

[7.0] "Good bit of fun. I struggle a bit with multi-man matches like this cause I feel like it can overcomplicate things a bit too much to the point where I struggle to get fully invested. I like all these characters enough for it to be enjoyable though, plus the rivalry between Bret and Austin is great and pretty much drives this match."

[9.0] "When it comes to crowd heat you don't get much better than The Hart Foundation vs. Team USA at IYH 16: Canadian Stampede. The crowd was hot for every single member of the Hart Foundation and absolutely HATED Steve Austin. As a match this wasn't anything special really, it was a back and forth brawl with everybody working hard but it had no clear story. Austin, who was killing it in 1997, was absolutely the stand out performer in this match as he reveled in the crowd's hatred of him. Owen getting the pin on Austin was a pretty cool moment and sent the crowd home happy. ****"

[10.0] "Once in a lifetime experience. The presentation, the aura, the atmosphere, the Hart Foundation fighting for one night as faces & hometown heroes and dynamically it is incredible. Legendary crowd, fantastic performances, drama, intensity, excellent storytelling, the leg psychology, Austin vs. Bret interactions, post-match w/ brawl & glorious celebration - pure magic. ****3/4"

[8.0] "Talking about this match, It was good, usually it's not that good when I watch this kind of multiple matches, even though the ending wasn't of my kind. 8/10 [****1/2]"

[7.0] "One of the greatest crowd reactions in company history. They are tearing the roof off the building every single second between the bells. It is amazing they didn't tire themselves out. There is also some very good storytelling with Owen coming back for the save to give him a nice shine. Each team making saves also plays a nice role. It's really interesting seeing Owen get to work as a babyface because he has been a heel for SO much of his WWF career. While the bout is excellent, and the crowd takes it to another level, it is ultimately very disjointed. Very little about the in ring work is especially memorable. This is way more about the atmosphere and the spectacle than the match itself. It is an outstanding match and worth your time, and the crowd is one of the best you'll ever find, but I would not call this match one that goes into the 'elite' level of matches. Excellent, but not quite THAT good."

[9.0] "Awesome wrestling match. Loved it when it happened live and I love it today too. It was booked in such a way that it didn't go more than two minutes without something major happening. It was non-stop action from bell to bell. That's what made it so much fun even when the lesser workers were in there. The parts with Bret and Austin were epic of course and it makes me wish they had a singles PPV match in Canada because it would have had an electric atmosphere. I liked the story of Owen being taken out, then Austin being taken out and then both of them returning to the ring to finish the match off. That really goes a long way in establishing that these guys are tough wrestlers in the eyes of the fans. It also set the stage for their feud, which would take place at Summerslam a month later."

[9.0] "Wow. As an extra to Austin and Bret tension, Vince decided to throw Hart Foundatition in the action in their hometown. Chaotic mess corresponded with electric crowd very well. Really high quality action by 90s standards and any other standards."

[10.0] "The conclusion in a lot of ways to the Bret/Austin Saga that started at Survivor Series 96. A match that is the defi ition of shades of gray that works really well in telling an i credible story. A fun match that has a constant ping pong of momentum shift that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The finish might be a little deflating for some with the roll up but I think how it is done is incredible cause everyone still wants to kill the other post match. A phenominal match. *****"

[10.0] "This was wildly chaotic fun. The Hart Foundation in 1997 was magnificent in getting a reaction. Boos in the states, cheers in Canada. They face a bad a team here, too. This is everything I watch wrestling for. Intense rivalries, great fighting, and electric crowds."

[6.0] "I don't dislike this match I just wished it was better and more clean than that and yes I know the rivalry is personal but this one should've been more clean as an action it feels a lot of times kinda uncomfortable to watch of how random the stuff is, tho I still think it's a decent match and deserves a watch but imo it should've been better. ***1/4"

[9.0] "[4.25*] Just a complete blast. Maybe the best normal 10-Man Tag I have ever seen, honestly. This was just months before Bret vs Austin at Mania and the story wrote itself. They were in Calgary so the Bret Team had all the support in the world against a pretty badass heel team. The match was just a slobberknocker, completely electrifying from start to finish. The crowd reacted to every single move and it had more flexible rules than what we have in todays WWE when it comes to Tag Team Wrestling. The match started already with a stand-off between Bret and Austin and the crowd went nuts. It was just a big awesome brawl with high pacing all around. Some notable moments that changed the dynamic were first when Austin attacked Owens leg on the ring post and even used a chair, so Owen had to leave the match. Then Bret did justice with his own hands and attacked Bret the same way, even using a fire extinguisher on his leg. Now Austin was injured and he had to leave too. Austin returned first and the babyfaces were in disadvantage, and obviously Owen made the heroic comeback to beat Austin with a roll-up after a distraction from Bret. The Harts who were on the crowd got involved at the ending and after the match was over Austin got handcuffed and left the arena giving the middle finger to the crowd while cuffed. Absolutely fantastic lmao, what a ride."

[10.0] "Such a phenomenal tag match between both teams, the in ring action and psychology between everyone involved was just spectacular, the crowd was molten red hot throughout literally everything and gave the match a double turn with treating the Hart Foundation as the biggest baby faces ever and booing the faces as if they were the heels and post match was also spectacular with both teams still brawling and the Hart Foundation standing victorious with the rest of the Hart family."

[8.0] "Fantastic big event match where everyone gets a proper chance to shine, I had a really good time watching this one, it would definitely stand up today!"

[9.0] "One of wrestling's most magical moments, and a thrilling main event to boot. I don't know if this match is perfect in its mechanics or structure, yet it's such an intoxicating watch. There is a significance to this that only increases over time, an emotional weight that goes well beyond wrestling. The result is an incredibly moving watch, with the years since only allowing it to shine brighter as the Hart family's collective, professional peak. The match itself is electric, fuelled by an iconic crowd that brings the best out of all involved. ****1/2"

[9.0] "This was an awesome main event with an amazing crowd. The two teams brawled all over the place with awesome storytelling. The Hart Foundation were the faces here and Austin and his team were the heels which made for a nice dynamic."

[9.0] "exceptional work from everyone involved, i especially enjoyed Pillmans antics throughout the match. crowd was on fire the entire bout and a fun brawl afterwards too. lovely way to end the show with all the Harts in the ring."

[9.0] "Amazing match! With all the talk about Backlash in France with a hot crowd, I thought about this match and the crowd. This is one of the best examples of a crowd being hot for a match and all involved without making it about themselves. As each Hart Foundation member comes out, the pop gets exponentially louder. When Bret comes out you can barely hear the music. It's incredible. There's so few crowd responses that loud in the history of wrestling and that's one of them. It's also a great, fast paced match with all 10 guys being top shelf talent. I wish I could've been there live."

[9.0] "A truly fantastic match that does NOT get talked about nearly enough. The crowd is one of the most insane Ive ever seen, and they never let up the noise. The action is hectic and chaotic the entire time and doesnt ever let up, and every person in this match has chemistry with everyone else. What truly makes this match stand out is the tags. Its like each team has a member that counters a member of the other and theyre always in the ring together. Like Shamrock, the calculated and anticipatory styled MMA fighter comes in and they tag in Pillman, the unpredictable loose cannon. Its stuff like that that makes this an absolute classic. The entire ending segment is also entertaining as hell with the whole hart family brawling with Austins team. Very good match that should be discussed more."

[10.0] "It's a brilliant pay off to a long term storyline where the Hart Foundation was a heel stable against the USA, but came home as conquering heroes in Canada. The crowd reactions made this match special and I can't think of many matches where Austin got such strong negative reactions as he did here! He really thrives in it too and constantly leans into them. Owen Hart even gets a big babyface moment where he is written out of the match where Austin hits him in the knee with the chair and amongst all the chaos ends up being the one to pin Austin for the win. When you have a match loaded with star power like this, its always likely to be entertaining and chaotic and the match doesn't disappoint in any way on that regard. You even see the rest of the Hart family get involved in the match when Austin starts targeting them. This had some of the best crowd reactions to a PPV main event I have ever seen where at times the camera was literally shaking! I've never seen anything like that before."

[10.0] "This match is fantastic. Lots of exciting action, an all-time legendary hot crowd, a good story being told throughout the bout, and they did an excellent job of setting up some of the big issues for SummerSlam. The match was an unequivocal success and I dont see how it possibly could have been better, so for that reason it gets the perfect score!"

[8.0] "Phenomenal main event with a one of a kind atmosphere. Some great action mixed with good improvising from ten great workers at the time, thanks to which it felt like a genuine fight. The crowd was obviously incredibly hot for the whole Hart Foundation and the pops for every single thing made by them were one of the loudest I have ever heard. A lot of fantastic performances, from Pillman finally having a PPV debut, through Bulldog showing some convincingly looking aggression, to Owen being the MVP of the whole contest. Not often do you see a match like this and it most certainly was a must see experience."

[10.0] "Awesome match, the crowd turned A good match into A great one. This crowd is actually wild and I love it. This entire show is an all-timer because the crowd. The Hart Foundation winning was the right choice due to how over they were in Canada."

[9.0] "A great moment in wrestling history. The action was brilliant and showed how capable some of these blokes really are. Everyone got to shine, nobody looked out of place, and even Avil and The Road Warriors looked good here. This was no doubt one of the finest performances of both Bret and Austin's careers."

[9.0] "The energy for this match was insane and you can feel it as soon as every single member of the Hart Foundation comes out. The crowd somehow even gets louder when Bret is winning the opening brawl exchange against Austin, the camera even starts shaking. Everything they did feels electric, it helps with the fact that this was simply one hell of a brawl. The finish was anti climatic as hell but it still doesn't take away from this match and the atmosphere behind it.****1/2"

[10.0] "25 years on and I don't think I've seen a more intense crowd than the one we got during this match. These fans would have died for the Hart Foundation! Austin has the crowd wanting his head, and he didn't even need to change his act up much from his usual babyface persona. All he had to was flip the crowd off once and they wanted him dead! Austin and Bret open and they bring the hate as they trade punches. I liked the little nod to their Survivor Series '96 match as Bret gets a nearfall by countering Austin's submission into a pinning attempt. It's bizarre seeing the babyface maul a heel like a pack of dogs, but it made sense as these guys would still be villains to the US crowd watching at home and they were still the heels in the grand scheme of things, even if they were idolized by the Calgary crowd. Both Austin and Owen are removed from the match due to injury, but they come back and the hatred picked right where they left off. Austin can't help himself from fighting with the Hart family in the crowd and he even put his hands on Stu Hart! The other family members spill over and it's all out carnage. Owen is able to roll up Austin during the commotion and get the victory. The victors fight off Team USA and the PPV goes off the air with a feel-good ending, with all the family celebrating in the ring. One of my all-time favorite matches. Over half the participants in this match were way past their sell-by dates and even they couldn't have brought this one down for me!"

[8.0] "Possibly the most intense crowd for any WWF main event of the 97 season. Calgary boos the Americans obviously but Austin gets the loudest chorus. Bret and Austin to start. JR makes a comment that some guys at ringside are making a documentary for Bret Hart, that would turn out to be Wrestling With Shadows. Bret stomps a mud hole on Austin in the corner and the crowd is deafening. Austin fights back and almost gets booed out of the building. Shamrock and Pillman get in and the crowd cheers every time a new Hart member debuts in the ring. Pillman with a pendulum backbreaker. Shamrock hits a belly to belly and Owen tags in and so does Goldust. Plenty of negative USA signs in the crowd. Bulldog and Hawk are in next and Daveyboy hits the running powerslam early but GD breaks up the pin. Animal and Bret are back in and this is just warmups to get each guy in the ring. Goldust in with Bret and they go for a test of strength but Bret kicks him then GD gets the tree of woe in the "heels" corner and gets beat stupid. Crowd craps itself in the process. owen in and he hits a missile dropkick on Animal then tries a hurricinrana but gets powerbombed. LOD hit the doom device of destruction and all hell breaks loose. Austin whacks Owen's leg against the ringpost and smacks it with a chair. Owen gets sent to the back to a huge Austin sucks chant. Austin grabs a hold of Pillman who acts like a pus. Bret drags Austin into the corner and does to him what he did to Owen. Bret smacks the knee with a fire extinguisher then slaps on the figure four poster. Hawk busts up the move. Austin gets carried out and were back to 4 on 4. Animal plays "heel" in peril then Bret gets himself in trouble and Shamrock stands there gawking at Pillman who drops him with a clothesline. Bulldog and Shamrock are up next and Bulldog mud hole stomps him in the corner and flips him off to the crowds delight. Bulldog hits a superduperplex on Goldust then Austin hobbles back out. Austin and Bret back in and Bret catches him with a swinging neckbreaker then the Russian leg sweep. It's moves of doom time! Bret with a sleeper that is broken by a jawbreaker. Bret goes to the sharpshooter and Hawk breaks it up. Austin goes for the move but Owen hobbles down to break it up. Austin ends up outside and fights with the Hart family at ringside and in the commotion Owen gets a rollup for the win. Shamrock attacks Bruce Hart at ringside and the whole place goes nuts. Team USA loses control of the ring and the Harts celebrate. Austin makes a run in with a chair and blasts Neidhart then gets pummeled by the Hart family and is cuffed and taken out to close the show. Super hot main event."

[8.0] "A great brawl here, with some of the biggest names in wrestling. Maybe half of them were past their peak by this point, but the format of the match made that irrelevant. Great fun, and due to the talent of those involved what could have been chaos instead told a great story."

[9.0] "I don't think you can overstate how wild the atmosphere was for this match! Every competitor brought their A-game and each move they hit feels electric. Austin just being his natural charismatic self puts on another stellar performance. And the Hart family reminds everyone why they are so renowned in the world of pro-wrestling. The finish comes a little abruptly, but the post match shenanigans make up for it in my opinion. This is a classic and I can't imagine anyone disliking it."

[9.0] "Everyone knows this match and for good reason. An absolutely rabid crowd and an amazing crew of wrestlers make something wonderful. As per usual with this feud the dynamics of who is heel and who is face is blurred. My personal highlight were the interactions between Pillman and Shamrock. Actual finish is a bit anticlimactic but the post match is amazing with Austin flipping off the crowd as he is led away in handcuffs being absolutely magic ****1/2"

[8.0] "Impossible to not like this one, fanatatic tag match by all of them with an amazing ehat worth the watch alone, just great, ****."

[8.0] "I'll rate this an 8 for the work, but the crowd heat and investment in this match is completely off the charts and is a must-see for anyone."

[6.0] "This was a fine match with some very interesting points, such as the heel work by Steve Austin, which is great, and the huge pop that the Hart team would have for anything and everything. Great crowd work by them, which made this match a remarkable moment. However, the in-ring action was good in the beginning and just fine in the rest of the bout. A lot of repetitive outside action and a long dragging that shouldn't happen because this a 10-man. From middle of the match it was basically Austin vs Owen/Bret. I think they should've used more the Road Warriors. Concluding, the ending scene was remarkable and there were some cool interactions in the ring, but not even a good match in my opinion."

[9.0] "This was a match that was already really great. A fun, chaotic war between 2 sides that absolutely hated each others, as well as it being some of the finest work of many men in the match, like LOD. However, the amount of enthusiasm and investment that the crowd had in the match made it truly something incredible. Really, this is one of the most memorable matches of this period for that reason alone, just a really great match ****1/2"

[9.0] "Amazing match, I don't quite think it's an all time great one, but it's definitely a fantastic match. Whilst there is some good, intense wrestling and brawling to be had here, it's the atmosphere that elevates this and makes it something special. Without that crowd reaction, it would just be a match with nothing of note, but that crowd really added a ton to this. Well worth a look for one of the hottest crowds for any match you'll ever see. Also this was arguably Brian Pillman and the Legion of Doom's last great match, with Pillman dying a few months after this and the Road Warriors kind of just existing until their departure a few years later."

[10.0] "One of my favorite matches of all time. The match itself is decent to very good, but the red hot crowd really gets you hyped into feeling like every change of momentum is significant."

[9.0] "The match itself was good but it was made so much better by the hot crowd and their love for the Harts and hatred for Stone Cold. Lots of good, fun action throughout. (****1/4)"

[8.0] "This was good. This gets a reputation for being an all time brawl but I don't see that a whole lot. Instead this was more focused on fast tag team work that is constantly flowing back and forth. The crowd probably elevates the work to the point where I can see why people think so highly of this. However I think desperately lacked a killer stretch where the match turned into that transcendent masterpiece. And there were a few aspects that I really hated. Austin and Owen got sent backstage after hurting their knees via figure fours on the post. I don't know why that was necessary. It's a fairly standard spot in the 90s and they don't even look in bad enough shape to be sent away. It takes two of the most over in the match out of it, Austin in particular. And Owen being taken out of the match, only to return for the finish and win made it a whole lot worse. And the finish beside that was so anticlimactic and comes out of nowhere. Austin gets attacked by Bruce outside, a small brawl takes place and then Austin goes in the ring and gets pinned. A bad finish to what was a pretty good match. ***3/4"

[7.0] "This match is ALL about the rabid hometown crowd cheering on their team. I mean that is basically the defining aspect of the match. And while that's certainly a unique story, the match itself is merely a well-paced, multi-man tag match at the core. While the actual wrestling part of the match is pretty good it's not necessarily *amazing*. It's a good match and it's definitely memorable, but for me it's not as incredible as most people consider it to be."

[10.0] "Canadian Stampede was one of the first PPVs I was able to catch live. I still remember exactly where I was when I saw this match & the electricity of it. I loved the Hart Foundation & was pulling for them. Needless to say, this one had it all & may be the best ten man tag to ever take place."

[8.0] "The famous Canadian Stampede crowd match. Bret and Austin start the bout, with Bret getting the upper hand in an exchange of fists. As he stomps Austin out in the corner, the hard-camera violently shakes as the partisan crowd goes wild. There's a great moment where Bret takes Goldust into the corner and he and his teammates begin pummeling him, turning the match into an all-out brawl. At one point Animal comes in and eats a heel-kick from Owen, followed by a top-rope dropkick into a kip-up to rile up the crowd. Hart catches a Doomsday Device, which is broken up by "The Anvil" which starts another brawl. While this happens, Austin pulls Owen to the turnbuckle and gives him a few chair shots to the leg (with the crowd chanting "Austin sucks! "). After some time, Bret returns the favor by delivering some extinguisher shots to Austin's leg, followed by an "around-the-corner" figure-four from the outside. The match ends with Austin laying into the Hart's at ringside, getting distracted and rolled-up by Owen for the pin. ****"

[7.0] "For the first 14 minutes, this was a fantastic match, one of the best of the year. But out of nowhere, it lost all its steam, flattening out and going from a match of the year candidate to being just another match."

[10.0] "Jesus Christ, a crowd can really turn a good match into a great match, but this crowd turned a great match into a near 5 star stone cold (ha) classic. This is the best multi-man tag team match I have ever seen, hands down. Everyone gets their time to shine, everyone gets great offense in (besides Hawk, poor Hawk) and the crowd is HOT AS F**K. There's never a dull moment in this match thanks to that hot crowd, and of course the Hart Foundation is so goddamn over with the Calgary crowd. Nearly everything that the Harts do get a pop from the crowd and they never shut up (in a good way). Of course, the brawling is the most memorable part of this match with Austin destroying Owen and Bret with steel chairs and ring posts and getting booed out of the building for it (Hell, even I felt sympathy for the Harts in this match, that's how good the crowd was. He works a great heel style in this match thanks to that crowd), but the wrestling is great also. Almost everyone gets a great sequence in-ring with pairs like Austin/Bret (duh), Shamrock/Pillman, Goldust/Bulldog, hell, even Animal gets in some great spots. The chaotic ending with the Hart family behind the guard rails is just a cherry on top of this chaotic funfest, Owen's sneaky pin works with his heel character but the fans don't care, they cheer the hell out of the Harts till the show ends. Watch this match. Seriously. ****1/2"

[10.0] "One of my absolute favorites from this era. Awesome match with some greats spots but really what makes this so amazing is the crowd. The intensity they bring to this match makes it seem more than just a wrestling match. So fun to watch again."

[8.0] "A wild ride, with possibly the loudest and hottest crowd I can remember. The wrestling action is pretty good, too, despite the format. Bret, Owen, and Austin do the heavy lifting (as expected), and they do an admirable job of making this thing watchable in the end. Great storyline, good wrestling, and an amazing crowd. ****."

[10.0] "An all-time great crowd heat, amazing performances by Austin & Bret, a great one by Owen & everybody else was on point as well. Brilliant match, must be one of my favorite WWE tags ever. ****1/2"
