David Michael Bautista, Jr. (born January 18, 1969), better known as Dave Batista or by the ring name Batista, is an American professional wrestler. Batista is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), wrestling on its SmackDown! brand.

Batista is a three-time World Heavyweight Champion and the winner of the 2005 Royal Rumble match

Early life

Personal life

Batista's father, David Michael Bautista, is Filipino and his mother, Donna Raye Bautista, a lesbian,[90] is Greek. His grandparents were also from the Philippines as his grandfather served in the military, worked as a taxi driver, barber, and other odd jobs to feed the family. Batista says he is not ashamed to admit he came from a poor family.[91] He has publicly admitted to having a hard life where, as before he was age nine, three murders occurred at his front lawn.[90] As young as age 13, he was stealing automobiles.[92] By age 17, Batista was considered estranged from his parents and on his own,[93] despite admitting later that "I am proud of my parents. They are good, honest, hard-working folks. They taught me the values of working hard."[92] Batista became a regular bouncer for clubs until he was arrested after a fight that left two badly injured patrons, one of which could be found lying in the street.[93] After a trial, Batista was sentenced to a years' probation.[93] Batista was also a lifeguard[90] before he had dreams of becoming a bodybuilder.[93] He credits bodybuilding as possibly saving his life.[90]

Batista was married to a woman named Glenda in the early 1990's and had two daughters with her, Keilana (born in 1990) and Athena (born in 1992) before divorcing.[94][95] Batista married his second wife Angie on October 13, 1998, however they divorced in 2006. Before the age of 40, Batista had already become a grandfather of two grandsons: Jacob & Aiden by Keilani, his first daughter.[96][90] During his marriage with Angie, Batista became an avid collector of vintage metal lunchboxes. He admits his favorite is the 1967 Green Hornet lunch box, as it has Bruce Lee on it.[97] This collection started when he bought Angie an ET lunchbox and she did not want to break it, so he bought a second one.[98] Batista revealed that he and Angie were separated in the August 2006 edition of WWE Magazine.[99] He later revealed, in his autobiography, a relationship with WWE Diva Melina after the divorce from his wife in 2006, which led to a brief angle on SmackDown! during a feud with MNM.[100] Shortly after, he dated 2006 Diva Search contestant Rebecca DiPietro[101] before resuming a relationship with Melina.[102]

On October 16, 2007 his autobiography "Batista Unleashed", a WWE Book, was released.[103] In an interview about the book, Batista claims "I didn't want to tell my story unless it was honest," and that "you have to go through three sets of lawyers: Simon & Schuster lawyers, WWE lawyers, my lawyers. Everything now being the way it is, you can be sued for the simplest thing."[104] One source of controversy was the mentioning of Chris Benoit, who was almost completely removed due to controversy. Batista responded saying "I loved the guy. I despise what he did, but that doesn't erase him from my life. I fought to keep him in there and glad they did." When asked about his ex-wife, Angie, he says "[we] have really become close again, which we really haven't been in years. I really learned a lot about her, and she learned a lot about me from reading the book. She actually saw things from a different perspective from reading the book. So that was definitely therapeutic."

He has numerous tattoos, including a large Chinese dragon on his back, red Kanji lettering on his upper left biceps which says "Angel" in tribute to his former wife Angie, a signature design on his upper right biceps, and a small Sun on his stomach which encircles his belly button.[105] He recently added a tattoo on his arm of the flags of the Philippines and Greece merged into one.[92]

Career

Ohio Valley Wrestling (2000-2002)

He made his Ohio Valley Wrestling debut in 2000, joining forces with Synn. During his tenure in OVW, he was called Leviathan. As a member of the Disciples of Synn stable he went undefeated until being beaten at an OVW supercard, Christmas Chaos by WWF's Kane (with help from Steve Austin). He later went on to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship from 'The Machine' Doug Basham. After losing the belt to The Prototype, Batista left OVW for WWE.

World Wrestling Entertainment

Debut (2002)

He began his WWE career on the May 9, 2002 episode of SmackDown! as Deacon Bautista,[6] a heel enforcer for Reverend D-Von on the SmackDown! franchise.[7] Batista made his WWE in-ring debut in a tag match teaming with D-Von against Randy Orton and Faarooq with Batista pinning Orton after using his spinebuster.[8] Over several weeks, Orton tried to beat D-Von and Bautista with different partners, but ultimately lost each time to Bautista's spinebuster. Bautista suffered his first loss in a match against Rikishi after D-Von accidentally struck him with a punch, allowing Rikishi to take advantage and pin Bautista for the win. Bautista and D-Von started to argue over the forthcoming weeks, with Bautista eventually turning on D-Von.[9] After splitting with D-Von, he signed with RAW and was re-branded as Dave Batista (or simply Batista). He aligned himself with Ric Flair[10] and feuded with Kane, whom he defeated in his pay-per-view debut at Armageddon 2002.[11]

Evolution (2003-2004)

In January 2003, Batista joined with Triple H, Ric Flair, and Randy Orton to form the stable Evolution.[12] Batista, however, was sidelined for much of 2003 after he tore his right triceps at a house show in a tag team match against the Dudley Boyz.[13] Batista re-tore his triceps while training and faced another setback when after his second surgery to reattach his triceps he suffered an infection that required a third surgery to clean out the infection. He made his return on the October 20, 2003 episode of RAW, interfering in a match between Goldberg and Shawn Michaels and "shattering" Goldberg's ankle with a chair. After the interference, Evolution came out, and Triple H rewarded Batista with $100,000.[14] On the November 10 episode of RAW, Goldberg defeated Batista by disqualification when Triple H interfered.[15]

At Armageddon 2003, Batista took part in two matches, losing to Shawn Michaels in a singles match but winning a tag team turmoil match along with Ric Flair, eliminating the Dudley Boyz to become one-half of the World Tag Team Champions. By the end of the PPV, all four members of Evolution held every male championship on RAW, with Triple H winning the World Heavyweight Championship and Randy Orton winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship.[16] They held the titles until the February 16, 2004, episode of RAW, when they were defeated by Booker T and Rob Van Dam.[17] They later regained the titles for a short period.[18] After SummerSlam 2004, Batista began a losing streak which lasted most of the year.

In late 2004, after Randy Orton defeated Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship,[19] Triple H evicted him from the group, claiming that the title which Orton held was rightfully his. It was Batista who delivered an electric chair to Orton after Triple H gave Orton a "thumbs up" before turning it into a "thumbs down."[20]

At the 2004 Survivor Series, Triple H, Batista, Gene Snitsky, and Edge faced-off against Maven, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, and Randy Orton in an 8-Man Elimination Tag Match for control of RAW over the following month; the members of the winning team would each be the RAW general manager for a week. They lost,[21] causing unrest within Evolution.[22]

Throughout the next two months, the relationship between Batista and Triple H began to deteriorate. After a loss to Chris Jericho by disqualification, Triple H verbally insulted Batista. Batista teased leaving Evolution that night, but declared that he was still part of Evolution and that they tricked everyone.[23] Still, Dave began behaving more like a face in the next few weeks, despite Evolution's heelish tactics. One particular moment saw Batista express disgust as Triple H and Ric Flair boasted about how they had intimidated and/or beat up Jim Ross, Danny Hodge, and Stacy Keibler. He continued to show his loyalty to Triple H and Evolution by running down to the ring and assisting them in matches.

World Heavyweight Champion / Injury (2005)

As 2005 began, Triple H realized the possibility of Batista, much like Randy Orton the year before, becoming a threat to his World Heavyweight Championship. Triple H suggested that Dave not enter the Royal Rumble, claiming that it would be selfish of him to do so, and to simply focus on Triple H retaining the title. Dave entered anyway and went on to win the Royal Rumble, last eliminating John Cena, earning the right to participate in the main event of WrestleMania 21 against the World Champion of his choice.[24]

In an attempt to persuade Batista to challenge WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield rather than him, Triple H concocted a scheme to have Batista run over in a limousine resembling the one used by Layfield. Initially, Dave did not want help from Evolution and wanted to confront JBL by himself. Triple H insisted that Evolution stick together and accompanied Dave anyway, saving him from the oncoming vehicle.[25] Batista became aware of the plot while sneakily eavesdropping on fellow Evolution members and signed a contract guaranteeing him a match with World Champion Triple H at WrestleMania 21, thus leaving Evolution and officially turning face for the first time in WWE. Batista initially pretended that he would sign with SmackDown!, giving Triple H and Flair the "thumbs up," but turned it into a "thumbs down" before attacking the pair. He emphasized his departure by powerbombing Triple H through the table used for the contract signing.[26]

Batista went on to win the World Heavyweight Championship on April 3 at WrestleMania 21.[24] Since this event, he has used the infamous "thumbs up, thumbs down" gesture before he performs the Batista Bomb on his opponent. Batista once again faced Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash. He retained the title but continued to feud with Triple H.[27] Along the way, he even helped commentator Jim Ross gain an upset victory over Triple H on RAW.[28] After Batista retained his title against Edge, he was betrayed by Ric Flair, who helped Triple H viciously attack the champion as Triple H challenged Batista to a Hell in a Cell match at Vengeance.[29] Batista survived the pedigree and won the match at Vengeance, retaining his title yet again.[30] With this win, Batista became the first wrestler to pin Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match.[31]

On June 30, Batista was revealed as the last pick in the 2005 WWE Draft Lottery; he made a surprise appearance while John "Bradshaw" Layfield was celebrating his victory in a six-man elimination match to win the new SmackDown! Championship.[32] JBL and Batista faced off at the Great American Bash on July 24 where JBL defeated Batista by DQ after the referee saw Batista use a steel chair.[30] They had a rematch at SummerSlam on August 21 in a No-Holds-Barred match in which Batista pinned JBL following a powerbomb on the steel steps.[30] The feud culminated in a match between the two on the first episode of SmackDown! broadcast after the show moved to Friday nights, with Batista retaining the title in JBL's signature bull rope match.[33]

Soon after retaining the title in a feud with Eddie Guerrero,[30] WWE.com reported that Batista suffered a muscle tear in his back at the taping for the November 11 edition of SmackDown! due to a double chokeslam from Big Show and Kane.[34] Plans had been made for Batista to defend the title in a triple threat match with Eddie Guerrero and Randy Orton on the November 18 episode, but the match did not take place due to the unexpected death of Eddie Guerrero on November 13, the date of the taping. Batista paid homage to Eddie Guerrero during the SmackDown! and RAW tribute shows dedicated to Guerrero's memory.[35]

Batista led Team SmackDown! against Team RAW in an inter-brand feud before Survivor Series. The feud saw the Big Show and Kane chokeslamming Batista several more times in the weeks leading up to Survivor Series in an on-camera explanation for Batista's injury.[36] Batista ultimately helped his team win the Survivor Series main event.[37] After Batista saved Rey Mysterio from a double team attack by RAW's reigning World Tag Team Champions, Big Show and Kane,[38] it was announced that Mysterio would team with Batista to face the Big Show and Kane at Armageddon, a SmackDown! exclusive pay-per-view.

On the December 16 edition of SmackDown!, Batista and Mysterio defeated WWE Tag Team Champions MNM to become champions in a match they dedicated to Eddie Guerrero,[39] and the clash with the Big Show and Kane at Armageddon turned into a Champions vs. Champions encounter. Batista and Mysterio lost to Kane and Big Show at Armageddon when Kane pinned Mysterio after a chokeslam,[37] and two weeks later on SmackDown!, MNM defeated Batista and Mysterio after help from the returning Mark Henry to regain the WWE Tag Team Championships. During the interference, Henry attacked Batista, and performed his World's Strongest Slam.[40]The teams met again in a cage match that Henry also became involved in, and Batista and Rey were defeated again.

Return from injury (2006)

On January 9, WWE.com announced that Batista tore his right triceps following a match with Mark Henry at a live event on January 8 in Verona, New York. The following day, WWE.com announced that, due to his injury, Batista was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship at the SmackDown! tapings in Philadelphia on January 10 (aired on January 13), two days after surpassing Triple H's previous mark of 280 days for longest reigning champion. Later that night, Kurt Angle won a battle royal to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.[41][42] Dave went on to have successful surgery on his arm on January 12.

Batista made an appearance at No Way Out and told the crowd that once his arm had healed he would return to regain his World Heavyweight Championship.[37] At WrestleMania 22, he interrupted a Randy Orton interview, putting SmackDown! on notice; the World Heavyweight Championship would return to him by WrestleMania 23.[43]

Batista made his official return during the July 7 edition of SmackDown! in Philadelphia immediately calling out and entering into a feud with the man who put him out with the arm injury, Mark Henry.[44] At Saturday Night's Main Event, Batista won his first televised match since his return, a six man tag match with Rey Mysterio and Lashley taking on King Booker, Finlay, and Mark Henry. In a bizarre twist of fate, Mark Henry was legitimately injured and was ruled out of the scheduled match between the two at The Great American Bash, thus further delaying a potential feud between the two after being delayed by Batista's initial injury.[45]

Batista put out an open challenge to replace the injured Henry, which was answered by Mr. Kennedy.[46] Batista lost this match via DQ for failing to stop choking Mr. Kennedy into the turnbuckle with his boot, but continued to attack Kennedy resulting in a laceration on his forehead so severe that it exposed his cranium and required 20 stitches to close.[47] Batista lost another match with Kennedy via count out in a rematch on SmackDown![48] before finally defeating Kennedy by pinfall on the August 4 edition of SmackDown!.[49]

World Champion again (2006-2007)

Batista remained a top contender to the World Title, competing against King Booker on several occasions while feuding with Finlay,[53] before finally defeating King Booker to regain the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center. Ironically, the win occurred at the same arena where he surrendered the title in January.[54]

At the beginning of the new year, Batista successfully retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Mr. Kennedy at the Royal Rumble.[55] Two months later at WrestleMania 23, Batista lost the championship to the winner of the Royal Rumble match, The Undertaker.[56] They continued to battle over the title to a stalemate in a subsequent Last Man Standing match at Backlash[57] and a Steel Cage Match on the May 11 episode of SmackDown!. Following the latter, Edge took advantage and won the title from the Undertaker by using his Money in the Bank title opportunity.[58] Afterwards, Batista challenged Edge unsuccessfully for the World Heavyweight Championship at Judgment Day,[59] One Night Stand in a Steel Cage Match,[60] and Vengeance. The loss at Vengeance stipulated that Batista could no longer get another chance at the World Heavyweight Championship while Edge remained champion.[61]

Batista accepted an open challenge from The Great Khali for The Great American Bash. Edge relinquished the title due to an injury the week before the PPV, and Khali became the new World Heavyweight Champion, winning a Battle Royal and eliminating Batista. Batista and Kane, Edge's title opponent, faced Khali at The Great American Bash in a triple threat match where Khali retained the title.[62] Batista received a disqualification victory against Khali at Summerslam after Khali used a steel chair, thus retaining the title again.[63] Batista finally claimed his third World Heavyweight Championship after eight consecutive attempts, by defeating Khali in a match that included Rey Mysterio at Unforgiven.[64] His first challenge was from the Great Khali in a Punjabi Prison Match at No Mercy where Batista retained his title despite Khali having the majority of the offense. He won the match by leaping from the inner bamboo structure to the outer one, shortening his escape route and beating Khali to the floor.[65]

After the return of the The Undertaker at Unforgiven, the duo re-ignited their feud at Cyber Sunday where the fans chose Guest Referee Stone Cold Steve Austin. Batista won via two Batista Bombs.[66] The feud continued with a Hell in a Cell match at Survivor Series. During the match, Edge returned and interfered by giving Undertaker a con-chair-to. He then pulled an unconscious Batista on top of Undertaker for the pinfall to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.[67]

Unfortunately for Batista, this was a sign of things to come. At Armageddon, Edge would be entered into a Triple Threat Match, alongside The Undertaker, to challenge for Batista's World Heavyweight title. This event would lead to the end of Batista's third reign as champion, after Edge managed to score the pinfall and claim the World Championship.[68]

At Wrestlemania XXIV, Batista defeated Umaga in a RAW vs. SmackDown interpromotional match after countering a Samoan Spike with a spinebuster, followed by a Batista Bomb.[69]

After WrestleMania, Batista confronted Shawn Michaels about the retirement of Ric Flair. Batista accused Michaels of being selfish and told him that he should have "laid down for the Nature Boy. Michaels and Batista will face each other at Backlash.

Paul Michael Levesque[5] (born July 27, 1969)[5] is an American professional wrestler and actor, better known by his ring name Triple H, an abbreviation of his former ring name Hunter Hearst Helmsley. He currently wrestles for the Raw brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).[3]

Before joining WWE, Levesque began his wrestling career with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1993, wrestling under the ring name Terra Ryzing.[1] He changed his ring name to Jean-Paul Lévesque before joining the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1995.[2] He initial on-screen persona was that of wealthy sophisticate. He later changed his name to Triple H and adopted an alternative image in the group D-Generation X (DX), a stable known for pushing the envelope. After the dissolution of DX, Triple H was pushed as a main-event wrestler, winning several singles championships.[3] As part of a storyline, the scripted events in wrestling, Triple H married Stephanie McMahon, who later became his real-life spouse. In 2003, Triple H formed another stable known as Evolution,[3] and in 2006, reformed DX briefly with Shawn Michaels.[6]

Overall, Levesque is a eleven-time world champion: a six-time WWE Champion and a five-time World Heavyweight Champion.[7][8] In addition, he won the 1997 King of the Ring, the 2002 Royal Rumble, and was the second Grand Slam Champion.[3]

Outside wrestling, Levesque has made numerous guest appearances in film and on television. He is starring in the WWE Film, Journey of Death, which is due to release in 2009.[9]

Early life and career

In his youth, Levesque was a fan of professional wrestling, and his favorite wrestler was Ric Flair.[2][4] At the age of fourteen, he became aware of bodybuilding. After graduating from high school in 1987, he entered several body building competitions. Levesque was crowned Teenage Mr. New Hampshire at the age of nineteen. During this time, he met Ted Arcidi and began to consider a career in professional wrestling.[4]

Levesque enrolled at Killer Kowalski's wrestling school in 1992 after it was recommended to him by Ted Arcidi.[1][4] He joined the Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF), which used trainees from Kowalski's school in their promotion. Here, he became the IWF Heavyweight Champion and an IWF Tag Team Champion with fellow Kowalski trainee, Perry Saturn. It was in the IWF that Levesque started using the name Terra Ryzing.[1]

Professional wrestling

World Championship Wrestling

In early 1994, he joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW),[4] wrestling as a heel (a villainous character). In his first televised match, he defeated Brian Armstrong.[2] He continued using the name Terra Ryzing until mid-1994, when he was renamed Jean-Paul Lévesque.[2][10] This gimmick referred to his surname's French origins. He was asked to speak with a French accent, as he could not speak French. During this time, he began using his finisher, The Pedigree.

Lévesque had a brief storyline feud with Alex Wright that culminated at Starrcade.[2] In early 1995, Lévesque briefly teamed with Lord Steven Regal, whose snobby British persona was a good match with Lévesque's similar persona.[10] The team was short-lived, however, as Lévesque soon left for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF),[1] after WCW shot down Levesque's request to be pushed as a singles competitor.[10]

The Connecticut Blueblood (1995–1997)

As a continuation of his gimmick in WCW, Triple H started off his WWF career as the Connecticut Blueblood, Hunter Hearst Helmsley. He appeared in taped vignettes, in which he talked about how to use proper etiquette, up until his wrestling debut on the April 30, 1995 episode of WWF Wrestling Challenge.[11]

Although he was heavily pushed in the first few months after his debut, his career stalled during 1996, starting off with being mired in a feud with Duke "The Dumpster" Droese following a loss in the Free For All at the 1996 Royal Rumble.[12][13] Up until that event, his angle included appearing on television each week with a different female valet.[2] Sable was his valet at WrestleMania XII, and after his loss to Ultimate Warrior, as part of the storyline, he took his aggressions out on her. The debuting Marc Mero came to her rescue, starting a feud between the two wrestlers.[14]

On May 28, 1996, Triple H appeared on WWF Superstars against Marty Garner.[15] When Helmsley attempted to use the Pedigree, Garner mistook the maneuver for a double-underhook suplex and tried to jump up with the move, causing him to land squarely on top of his head and suffer neck damage.[15] Garner sued the WWF, eventually settling out of court and later appeared on an episode of the Montel Williams Show discussing the incident.

Helmsley was known backstage as one of the members of the Kliq, a group of wrestlers including Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman and Scott Hall, who were known for influencing Vince McMahon and the WWF Creative team.[12] Helmsley was in line to win the 1996 King of the Ring tournament, but he was demoted from championship contender to jobber to the stars (a wrestler who loses matches to make his opponents look better) after the Madison Square Garden Incident, in which the Kliq broke character after a match to say goodbye to the departing Nash and Hall.[16]

Despite the punishment, Helmsley did have several successes following the MSG Incident. He found a manager in Mr. Perfect and was booked to win his first Intercontinental Championship on October 21, 1996, defeating Marc Mero.[17] When Mr. Perfect left the WWF, his departure was explained to be a result of Helmsley turning his back on his manager as soon as he won the Intercontinental Championship. He held the belt for nearly four months before dropping it to Rocky Maivia on the February 13, 1997 edition of a special Monday Night Raw, called Thursday Raw Thursday.[18] For a very brief time, Helmsley was accompanied by Mr. Hughes, who was his storyline bodyguard.[19] After losing the Intercontinental title, he feuded with Goldust, defeating him at WrestleMania 13.[20] During their feud, Chyna debuted as his new bodyguard, assaulting Goldust's wife and valet Marlena.

D-Generation X (1997–1999)

Main article: D-Generation X

Helmsley's push resumed in 1997, when he won the King of the Ring tournament on June 8 by defeating Mankind in the finals.[21] Later that year, Shawn Michaels, Helmsley, Chyna and Rick Rude formed D-Generation X (DX). This stable later became known for pushing the envelope, as Michaels and Helmsley made risqué promos, spawning the catchphrase "Suck It", along with a "crotch chop" hand motion, and sarcastically deriding Bret Hart and Canada. By that point, Helmsley had fully dropped the "blueblood snob" gimmick. During this period, his ring name was shortened to simply Triple H. Even after the DX versus Hart Foundation storyline ended when Bret, Jim Neidhart, and Davey Boy Smith defected to WCW, Helmsley continued to feud with the sole remaining member Owen Hart over the WWF European Championship. This culminated in a match between the two at WrestleMania XIV, with the stipulation that Chyna had to be handcuffed to then-Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter. Helmsley won after Chyna threw powder into Slaughter's eyes, momentarily "blinding" him and allowing her to interfere in the match.

After WrestleMania, Michaels was forced into retirement due to a legitimate back injury sustained at the Royal Rumble,[22] and on-screen, Triple H took over the leadership position in DX, claiming that his now-former associate had "dropped the ball". He introduced the returning X-Pac the night after WrestleMania and joined forces with the New Age Outlaws ("Bad Ass" Billy Gunn and "Road Dogg" Jesse James).[23] Triple H led the "DX Army" throughout 1998, spawning a series of vignettes in which the DX army "invaded" the CNN Building and WCW Offices in Atlanta, culminating in the group nearly crashing an episode of Nitro in Virginia. It was also during this time that Triple H began a feud with the leader of the Nation of Domination and rising WWF heel, The Rock. This storyline rivalry eventually led to a feud over The Rock's Intercontinental Championship, which Triple H won in a Ladder match at SummerSlam.[24] He did not hold the title long, however, as he was sidelined with a legitimate knee injury. When The Rock won the WWF Championship at the Survivor Series,[25] the rivalry between the two continued, as DX fought Vince McMahon's Corporation stable, of which The Rock was the main star. Triple H received a shot at the WWF Championship on the January 25, 1999 edition of Raw in an "I Quit" match against The Rock, but the match ended when Triple H was forced to quit or see his aide Chyna chokeslammed by Kane. This began a new angle for Triple H, as Chyna betrayed him by attacking him after the match and joining the Corporation.[26]

As part of the storyline, at WrestleMania XV, Triple H wrestled as a face for the last time in several months when he beat Kane with the aid of Chyna, who was thought to have rejoined DX. Later on in the night, he betrayed his long-time friend and fellow DX member X-Pac by helping Shane McMahon retain the European Championship.[27] Triple H and Chyna then joined the Corporation, briefly placing them on the same side as The Rock. Unable to get along, The Rock turned on the Corporation and took Triple H's place as a crowd favorite. After Triple H's heel turn in early 1999, he moved away from his "DX" look, taping his fists for matches, sporting new and shorter wrestling trunks, and adopting a shorter hairstyle. His gimmick changed as he fought to earn a WWF title shot. After numerous failed attempts at winning the championship, Triple H and Mankind challenged WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin at SummerSlam in a Triple Threat match, which featured Jesse "The Body" Ventura as the special guest referee. Mankind was booked to win the match by pinning Austin, becoming a three-time WWF champion.[28] The following night on Raw, however, Triple H defeated Mankind to win his first WWF Championship.[29]

Triple H dropped the WWF Championship to Vince McMahon on the September 16, 1999 edition of SmackDown! before regaining it at Unforgiven in a Six-Pack Challenge that included Davey Boy Smith, Big Show, Kane, The Rock, and Mankind. He defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin at No Mercy before dropping the title to The Big Show at Survivor Series.

McMahon-Helmsley Era (2000–2001)

By January 2000, already a three-time WWF champion, Triple H had dubbed himself "The Game," implying that he was at the top of the wrestling world, and was nicknamed "The Cerebral Assassin" by Jim Ross. His storyline feud with Vince McMahon continued, with McMahon winning the title from Triple H during an episode of SmackDown!.[30] As a result of the feud, an angle with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon began which carried the WWF throughout the next seventeen months; this period was known as the "McMahon-Helmsley Era".[31]

Triple H feuded with Mick Foley in early 2000 in a storyline that ended with a Hell in a Cell match at No Way Out that sent Foley into retirement.[32] Triple H pinned The Rock at WrestleMania 2000 to retain the title,[33] but lost it at April's Backlash to The Rock.[34] He regained it three weeks later, in an Iron Man match at Judgment Day,[35] only to lose it back to The Rock at King of the Ring.[36] Hunter then entered into a storyline feud with Chris Jericho, which culminated in a Last Man Standing match at Fully Loaded.[36]

A later storyline feud between Triple H and Steve Austin started when it emerged that Triple H had paid off Rikishi to run down Austin at Survivor Series, causing him to take a year off action. In reality, Austin's previous neck injuries started bothering him again, forcing him to have surgery. In 2000, Triple H and Austin had a match at Survivor Series that ended when Triple H tried to trick Austin into coming into the parking lot to run him over again, only to have Austin lift his car up with a forklift and flip the car onto its roof 10 feet high. Triple H returned a few weeks later and attacked Austin. The feud continued into 2001 and culminated in a Three Stages of Hell match in which Helmsley defeated Austin. In 2001, Triple H also feuded with The Undertaker, who defeated him at WrestleMania X-Seven.[37] He later teamed with his former nemesis Austin to form The Two-Man Power Trip, capturing both the WWF Tag Team Championship and the Intercontinental Championship (twice) by the end of the next pay-per-view.

During the May 21, 2001 broadcast of Raw, he suffered a legitimate and career-threatening injury.[2] In the night's main event, he and Steve Austin were defending the Tag Team title against Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. At one point, Jericho had Austin trapped in the Walls of Jericho submission hold. Triple H ran-in to break it up, but just as he did, he suffered a tear in his left quadriceps muscle,[2] causing it to come completely off the bone.[4] Despite his inability to place any weight on his leg, Triple H was able to complete the match.[4] He even allowed Jericho to put him in the Walls of Jericho, a move that places considerable stress on the quadriceps. The tear required an operation, which was performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. This injury brought an abrupt end to the McMahon-Helmsley Era, as the rigorous rehabilitation process kept Triple H out of action for over eight months,[2][4] completely missing the Invasion storyline of WCW/ECW.

Evolution (2003–2005)

In January 2003, Triple H formed a stable known as Evolution with Ric Flair, Randy Orton, and Batista. The group was pushed on Raw from 2003 to 2004, the height of their dominance occurring after Armageddon when every member of Evolution left the pay-per-view holding a title.[44] Triple H held the World Heavyweight Championship for most of 2003. At the 2004 Royal Rumble, Triple H and Shawn Michaels fought in a Last Man Standing match to a double countout, so Triple H retained the title.[44] Triple H dropped the title to Chris Benoit at WrestleMania XX,[45] and he was unable to reclaim the belt from Benoit in subsequent rematches, including a rematch of the WrestleMania main event between Triple H, Benoit, and Shawn Michaels at Backlash.[45]

He then ended his angle with Michaels, defeating him in a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood.[45] After another failed attempt, losing to Benoit at Vengeance, he focused on Eugene, beating him at SummerSlam.[46] Triple H then regained the title from former associate Randy Orton at Unforgiven.[47] Following a triple threat World title defense against Benoit and Edge on the November 29, 2004 episode of Raw, the World Heavyweight Championship became vacant for the first time.[48] At New Year's Revolution, Triple H won the Elimination Chamber to begin his tenth world title reign.[49] At WrestleMania 21, Triple H lost the championship to Batista,[50] and subsequently lost two rematches at consecutive Raw pay-per-views: Backlash and Vengeance.[51][52] Following this, Triple H took some time off from wrestling, suffering from minor neck problems. [53]

Triple H returned to Raw on October 3, 2005 as part of WWE Homecoming. He teamed up with Flair to defeat Chris Masters and Carlito. After the match, as part of his new storyline, Triple H turned on Flair with his sledgehammer, sparking a feud between the duo.[54] They met in a Steel cage match at Taboo Tuesday for Flair's Intercontinental Championship, a match that Flair won.[55] Subsequently, Triple H defeated Flair in a non-title Last Man Standing match at Survivor Series to end their feud.[55]

D-Generation X revival (2006–2007)

Although Triple H failed to win the Royal Rumble match at Royal Rumble in January 2006 to earn a title shot, another championship opportunity arose for Triple H in the Road to WrestleMania Tournament. He won the tournament, granting him a match for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 22. At WrestleMania, Triple H and John Cena fought in the main event for the title, which Triple H lost via submission.[56] Later that month at Backlash, Triple H was involved in another WWE Championship match, fighting Edge and Cena in a Triple Threat match, where he lost again. In an act of frustration, a bloodied Triple H used his sledgehammer to attack, in storyline, both Edge and Cena and then performed a number of DX crotch chops.[57] Triple H unsuccessfully attempted to win the WWE title from Cena on numerous occasions, blaming his shortcomings on Vince McMahon, which eventually lead to a storyline feud between the McMahons and Triple H.

Shawn Michaels returned on the June 12 edition of Raw and soon reunited with Triple H to reform D-Generation X, turning Triple H face once again.[6] DX defeated the Spirit Squad at Vengeance in a 5-on-2 handicap match.[58] They continued their feud with Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and the Spirit Squad for several weeks. They then defeated the Spirit Squad again at Saturday Night's Main Event in a 5-on-2 Elimination match. They then again defeated the McMahons at SummerSlam, withstanding the attack of several handpicked WWE superstars by Vince McMahon.[57] At Unforgiven, D-Generation X overcame the odds once again, defeating The McMahons and ECW World Champion Big Show in a Hell in a Cell match. During the match, DX embarrassed Vince by shoving his face in between the Big Show's buttocks, and DX won when Triple H broke a sledgehammer over the shoulders of Vince McMahon after Michaels performed Sweet Chin Music on him.[59]

At Cyber Sunday during DX's storyline feud with Rated-RKO (Edge and Randy Orton), special guest referee Eric Bischoff allowed the illegal use of a weapon to give Rated-RKO the ill-gotten win.[59] At Survivor Series, DX got their revenge when their team defeated Edge and Orton's team in an Elimination Match with a clean sweep.[60] In January 2007, at New Year's Revolution, DX and Rated-RKO fought to a no-contest after Triple H suffered a legitimate torn right quadriceps (similar to the one he suffered in 2001 but in the other leg) fifteen minutes into the match.[61][62] A successful surgery was performed on January 9, 2007 by D

Jeffrey Nero "Jeff" Hardy[3] (born August 31, 1977)[1] is an American professional wrestler on the Raw brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), though he is currently suspended for drug policy violations.[4]

Before gaining prominence in WWE, Hardy performed for the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA), a promotion he ran with his brother Matt.[1] After being signed by WWE, the brothers worked as jobbers[5] before gaining notoriety in the tag team division, partly due to their participation in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches.[6] With the addition of Lita, the team became known as Team Xtreme and continued to rise in popularity.[7] As a tag team wrestler, Hardy is a former six-time World Tag Team Champion and one-time WCW Tag Team Champion.[2][8]

Apart from his success as a tag team wrestler, Hardy has also had success as a singles wrestler. He is a four time Intercontinental Champion, as well as having held the Hardcore, European and Light Heavyweight Championships.[8] He received his first major main event push towards the end of 2007, including challenging for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble in 2008.[9]

Moreover, Hardy is involved in motocross, music, and other artistic endeavors.[10] He is currently a member of the unsigned band Peroxwhy?gen.[11]

Early career

Hardy cites Sting, The Ultimate Warrior, and Shawn Michaels as his childhood inspirations to wrestle.[12] Hardy had been on World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as a jobber as early as age sixteen. His first WWF match, against The 1-2-3 Kid, was on May 25, 1994 in Erie, Pennsylvania and aired on the June 25 edition of Superstars.[13] He occasionally wrestled as a jobber as late as 1997 before beginning his first major run in 1998.[5] Hardy, along with his brother Matt Hardy and friends, started their own federation, the TWF (Trampoline Wrestling Federation) and mimicked the moves they saw on television.[5] Later on, the federation went under several different names, eventually being integrated into a county fair in North Carolina. The brothers and their friends then began to work for other independent companies. They drove all over the East Coast of the United States, working for companies such as ACW and other small promotions.[3]

Before arriving in the WWF, Matt formed his own wrestling promotion, OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts) with Thomas Simpson.[1] The promotion was a more successful version of the original TWF and included such talent as both Hardy brothers, Shannon Moore, Gregory Helms, Joey Matthews, among others. In OMEGA, each of the brothers portrayed several different characters; Hardy portrayed such characters as Will O' the Wisp, Iceman, Mean Jimmy Jack Tomkins, and The Masked Mountain.[1] While there, Hardy held the New Frontier Championship as a singles competitor and the Tag Team Championship with Matt. The promotion folded in April 1998 when they signed contracts with the WWF.

The Hardy Boyz (1998–2002)

Main article: Hardy Boyz

The Hardy brothers eventually caught the eyes of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). After being signed to a contract in 1998,[5] they were trained by Dory Funk, Jr. in his Funkin' Dojo with other notable wrestlers such as Kurt Angle, Christian, Test, and A-Train.[3] When the team was finally brought up to WWF television, after months of 'jobbing' and house events, they formed the acrobatic tag team called the Hardy Boyz.[1] While feuding with The Brood in mid-1999, they added Michael Hayes as their manager.[1] On July 5, they won their first WWF Tag team Championship by defeating the Acolytes, but lost it back to them a month later.[18][19] After the dissolution of the Brood, the Hardys joined forces with Gangrel as the The New Brood, and feuded with Edge and Christian.[1][20] This stable didn't last long, however, and on October 17 at No Mercy 1999, the Hardy Boyz won the managerial services of Terri Runnels in the finals of the Terri Invitational Tournament in the WWF's first ever tag team ladder match against Edge and Christian.[5][21]

In 2000, the Hardy Boyz found a new manager in their real-life friend Lita.[7] Together, the three became known as "Team Xtreme".[7] They continued their feud with Edge and Christian throughout 2000, defeating them for the WWF Tag Team Titles on two occasions.[22][23] At SummerSlam the Hardy Boyz competed in the first ever Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, for the Tag Team Titles against the Dudley Boys and Edge and Christian, but were unsuccessful.[6]

Hardy gained attention for his high risk stunts in the TLC matches in the year 2000,[6] 2001,[24] and 2002.[25] He made a name for himself as one of the most seemingly reckless and unorthodox WWF performers of his time.[26] In 2001, Hardy received a push as a singles competitor, and he held the WWF Intercontinental (defeating Triple H),[27] Light Heavyweight (defeating Jerry Lynn)[28] and Hardcore Championships (defeating Mike Awesome and Van Dam on two separate occasions).[29] At the end of 2001, the Hardys began a storyline, in which they began to fight, which led to Matt demanding a match at Vengeance, with Lita as special guest referee.[30] After Hardy beat Matt at Vengeance, while Matt's foot was on the ropes, Jeff and Lita began feuding against Matt.[31] In the middle of the feud, however, Hardy faced The Undertaker in a Hardcore Title match and lost.[32] After the match, the Undertaker attacked both Hardy and Lita, kayfabe injuring them.[32] The Hardys and Lita weren't seen again until the Royal Rumble, because WWE didn't have a storyline for them.[33] The Hardys came back as a team, and there was never any mention of their previous storyline split.[33]

In early April 2002 the Hardy Boyz began a feud with Brock Lesnar after Lesnar gave Matt an F-5 on the steel entrance ramp, which led to an angered Hardy seeking revenge on Lesnar.[34] At Backlash, Hardy faced-off against Lesnar in his first televised match.[35] Lesnar dominated Hardy and won the match by knockout.[36] Lesnar and the Hardys continued to feud over the next few weeks, with the Hardys coming out victorious only once by disqualification.[37] At Judgment Day, Lesnar gained the upper hand on the Hardy Boyz before tagging his partner, Paul Heyman, in to claim the win for the team.[38] In July 2002, Hardy won his third Hardcore Championship by defeating Bradshaw.[8][29] Matt eventually switched brands to SmackDown!, leaving Hardy as a singles competitor.[39]

Singles competition (2002–2003)

After years in the tag team division, Hardy took on The Undertaker in a Ladder match for the Undisputed Championship.[1][40] Hardy came up short, but earned the Undertaker's respect.[1] Hardy competed for singles titles on several occasions and defeated William Regal for the WWE European Championship.[41] Hardy was defeated a few weeks later by Rob Van Dam in a match to unify the European Championship and the Intercontinental Championship, and the European Championship was dropped.[41] Finally, the Hardy Boyz split apart, as Hardy continued to pursue his singles ambitions on Raw and his brother, Matt was drafted to SmackDown!.[42]

In January 2003, he had a brief heel turn that began after he attacked Van Dam and Shawn Michaels.[3][43][44] It ended a month later when he saved Stacy Kiebler from an attack by then-heel, Christian.[45] In February, he had a brief program with Michaels, which saw the two team up.[40][46] Then in storyline, Hardy hooked up with Trish Stratus after saving her from Steven Richards and Victoria in March.[47] Hardy and Stratus had a brief kayfabe relationship that saw the duo talking backstage, kissing, and teaming together in matches.[3][48] In his last match before being released, Hardy was defeated by The Rock.[49] Hardy was released from WWE on April 22, 2003.[3][50] The reasons given for the release were Hardy's erratic behavior, drug use, refusal to go to rehab, deteriorating ring performance, as well as constant tardiness and no-showing events.[2][50] Hardy also cites "burn out" and the need for time off as reasons for leaving WWE.[12]

Time off and independent circuit (2003)

Hardy made his first wrestling appearance after being released from WWE at an OMEGA, on May 24.[1] Using his old gimmick, "Willow the Wisp", Hardy challenged Krazy K for the OMEGA Cruiserweight Championship, but lost the match.[1] Hardy performed with the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion on one occasion.[51] Hardy appeared at ROH's 2003 show, Death Before Dishonor, under his "Willow the Wisp" gimmick, wearing a mask and trench coat.[51] Hardy was quickly unmasked and lost his jacket, wearing attire similar to that he wore in WWE.[51] Hardy was booed and heckled before, during, and after the match by the ROH audience, who chanted "We want Matt!" and "You were fired!" during his match with Joey Matthews and Krazy K, which Hardy won.[51] Hardy then took a whole year off of wrestling to concentrate on motocross and finish his motocross track.[10]

World Wrestling Entertainment (2006–present)

Return

On August 4, 2006, WWE announced that Hardy had re-signed with the company.[50] In the following weeks, vignettes aired hyping his return on the August 21 episode of Raw.[73] On the day of his return, Hardy received a push and defeated then-WWE Champion Edge by disqualification when Lita pulled Edge out of the ring.[74] After failing to capture the Intercontinental Championship from Johnny Nitro over the next few weeks, including at Unforgiven,[75] Hardy finally defeated Nitro to win his second Intercontinental Championship on the October 2 edition of Raw.[76][77] On the November 6 episode of Raw, Hardy lost the Intercontinental Championship back to Nitro, after Nitro hit him with the Intercontinental Championship title belt.[78] Just a week later, Hardy regained it on the November 13 edition of Raw, with a crucifix pin.[79][80] This marked Hardy's third reign as Intercontinental Champion.[27]

The Hardys reunion

On the November 21 episode of ECW on Sci-fi Hardy teamed with his brother Matt for the first time in almost five years to defeat the Full Blooded Italians.[81] At Survivor Series, they both were a part of Team DX, which gained the victory over Team Rated-RKO with a clean sweep.[82] The brothers then received their first opportunity since Hardy's return to win a tag team championship.[83] They competed in a 4-team Ladder match for the WWE Tag Team Championship at Armageddon, but they came up short in their attempt.[83] In the course of the match, however, they inadvertently legitimately injured Joey Mercury's face.[84]

With Hardy still feuding with Johnny Nitro and MNM into 2007, he was challenged once again by Nitro at New Year's Revolution in a Steel Cage match for the Intercontinental Championship.[85] Hardy once again defeated Nitro.[85] Hardy then teamed with Matt to defeat MNM at both the Royal Rumble and No Way Out.[86][87] The next night on Raw, February 19, Hardy was defeated for the Intercontinental title by Umaga.[88] In April 2007, Hardy competed in the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 2During the match, Matt threw Edge onto a ladder and encouraged Hardy, who was close to the winning briefcase, to finish him off.[89] Hardy then leaped off the ladder nearly twenty feet, drove Edge through the ladder with a leg drop, kayfabe injuring both Edge and himself. The two were unable to continue the match and were removed from ringside on stretchers.

The next night on Raw, April 2, the Hardys competed in a 10-team battle royal for the World Tag Team Championship. They won the titles after eliminating Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.They then began a feud with Cade and Murdoch, with the Hardys retaining the Championships in their first title defense against them at Backlash and again at Judgment Day.The Hardys, however, dropped the titles to Cade and Murdoch on June 4 on Raw.The Hardys earned a rematch at Vengeance but were defeated.

Bret Sergeant Hart

Bret Sergeant Hart (born July 2, 1957) is a retired Canadian professional wrestler and part of the Hart wrestling family. In the course of his career, he is best known by his ring name Bret "The Hitman" Hart. He also used the monikers "The Excellence of Execution" (originally dubbed as such by Gorilla Monsoon), "The Hart Foundation" (primarily while teamed with Jim Neidhart) and perhaps the most resounding, "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be" (derived from the 1984 film The Natural, which starred Robert Redford). Hart justifies the last moniker through three claims: He never injured an opponent through any fault of his own; through the entire course of his career he only missed two shows (both as a result of traffic and flight difficulties); and he rarely refused to job (lose a scripted match).[2] Hart was widely regarded as one of the most popular and gifted technical professional wrestlers ever.[3]

Hart was a seven-time world champion through his career in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Federation (WWF). He was an excellent wrestler in the tag team, mid-card and heavyweight division and received success in all three divisions. He was a 5 time WWF Champion,[4][5] 2 time Intercontinental Champion[6][5] and 2 time Tag Team Champion with Jim Neidhart[7][5] in WWF as well as the 1991 and 1993 King of the Ring,[5] and the 1994 Royal Rumble co-winner with Lex Luger.[5] In WCW, he was a 2 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion,[8][5] a 4 time United States Heavyweight Champion[9][5] and a 1 time World Tag Team Champion with Goldberg.[10][5] Hart was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006 by Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Early life

Bret Hart was born in Calgary, Alberta, the eighth child of wrestling patriarch and promoter Stu Hart. His seven brothers were either wrestlers or involved backstage with the wrestling business; his four sisters all married professional wrestlers. Three of his brothers-in-law, the Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith, and Jim Neidhart, had very successful careers in the business. His youngest brother, Owen Hart, became a decorated wrestler in his own right before his death in 1999.

In terms of in-ring ability, Hart is known for his fluid technical skills and agility. Once labeled "the greatest storyteller in the history of the business" by Vince McMahon, he was adept at creating tense and entertaining matches. Mean Gene Okerlund has also placed him in the top five best technical wrestlers of all time.

Hart's introduction to professional wrestling came at an incredibly early age. As a child, he witnessed his father training with future wrestling stars like Billy Graham in the Dungeon, his household basement which served as possibly the most notorious training room in the world of wrestling. Before school, Hart's father, also a wrestling promoter, would have him hand out flyers to local wrestling shows. At Ernest Manning High School, Hart would gain experience in the amateur wrestling division. Despite being "skin and bones," as Hart refers to his teenage physique, he won significant championships. This would later offer credibility to his career in professional wrestling as being legit. However, rather than directly following his father's foot steps, Hart pursued a college degree.

WWF Debut (1984)

Bret Hart started out in the WWF with a cowboy gimmick but soon requested that it be dropped. He made his first televised WWF debut in August 1984, in a tag team match where he teamed with his friend the Dynamite Kid.

Elevating to Heavyweight Division (1992-1993)

After dropping the Intercontinental Championship to his brother-in-law, Davey Boy Smith, in a match at SummerSlam 1992 held before over 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, Hart was elevated to main-event status.[25] He won the WWF Championship from Ric Flair at Saskatchewan Place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on October 12 of that year at a television taping, in a match never broadcast on WWF TV.[26] The match was only available on a Coliseum Video release. Many believe that not airing this match hurt Hart's early status with the fans, because up until this win, he was not seen as a main event wrestler. Hart dislocated one of the fingers on his right hand during the match and popped it back in himself so it would not affect the rest of the match. Hart became the sixteenth man to win the WWF Championship, the first Canadian, and the second WWE Triple Crown winner (the first being Pedro Morales).

Hart went on to defend the title against contenders such as Papa Shango,[27] Shawn Michaels,[28] and Razor Ramon[29] before losing the title to Yokozuna at WrestleMania IX after interference from Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji then challenged Hulk Hogan, who had come out to help Bret Hart, to compete for the title; Hogan then won his fifth WWF Championship from Yokozuna.[30] Shortly after, however, Hart won the first Pay-Per-View King of the Ring tournament in 1993, defeating Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, and Bam Bam Bigelow[31] (prior King of the Ring tournaments were just house show events). After being crowned as the King of the Ring, Hart was attacked by announcer Jerry "The King" Lawler. Lawler claimed he was the rightful King and began a barrage against Hart and his family. The feud culminated in a match between the two at SummerSlam 1993, where Hart originally won the match by submission, via the Sharpshooter. Hart, however, would not let go of the hold and the decision was reversed to a Lawler victory by disqualification.[32]

As noted by Hart himself, the original plan for SummerSlam was to pit WWF Champion Hulk Hogan against Hart in a colossal passing of the torch. Promotional photos were even taken of the two playing tug of war with the belt, but later on, anyone Hart mentioned the plans to acted as though they did not recall it.[33] Instead, Hogan lost to Yokozuna before leaving the WWF, with Hart reclaiming the title much later.

Reunion of Hart Foundation & Montreal Screwjob (1997)

In the ensuing weeks, Hart denounced American fans, because of their negative reaction to him in the recent weeks in contrast to his continued popularity through the rest of the world, and reunited with brother Owen and brothers-in-law Davey Boy Smith and Jim Neidhart. The family members formed a new Hart Foundation with Brian Pillman; this incarnation was an anti-American stable which was popular within Canada and Europe. Hart captured his fifth WWF Championship at SummerSlam 1997 after spitting in guest referee Shawn Michaels' face; Michaels swung a steel chair in retaliation, which accidentally struck the Undertaker and allowed Hart to get the pin.[57][58]

Around this time, Hart's on-air rivalry with "announcer" Vince McMahon also escalated. A heated ringside altercation between the two led many fans to dislike McMahon, who at the time was being exposed as owner of the WWF more and more frequently on-air.

Although Hart had signed a 20 year contract, Vince McMahon had asked him to talk to WCW about possibly taking a second look at their original offer to him, as the WWF was in a rough financial position at the time and could not afford the contract. Hart's final match with the WWF would come in Montreal at Survivor Series 1997. Hart did not want to end his career with a loss to Shawn Michaels in his home country; Vince agreed to Bret's idea of forfeiting the championship the next night on RAW or losing it a few weeks later. Although Hart stated to Vince McMahon he would not take the WWF Championship with him to WCW TV (and despite insistence from then-WCW President Eric Bischoff (according to Hart's DVD biography)[59] that Hart would join WCW with a "clean slate"), McMahon was still concerned; this led to him breaking his word in what eventually came to be known as the Montreal Screwjob, one of the most controversial moments in recent wrestling history. Even though he did not submit to the Sharpshooter, referee Earl Hebner called for the bell as if he had, on orders of Vince McMahon. This resulted in Hart "losing" the WWF Championship to Shawn Michaels.[60] The night ended with Hart spitting in Vince's face, destroying television equipment, and punching Vince in the eye backstage in front of Jack Brisco, Pat Patterson and Vince's own son Shane. Also backstage Bret confronted Shawn Michaels about his involment. Michaels lied to Bret and said he knew nothing of the incident; however, years later Michaels admitted that he did know of the incident at least twenty-four hours in advance.

Bret also stated on a recent shoot interview that after the Montreal incident, Vince Russo called Bret Hart about Bret trying to get Owen out of his contract with WWF and come join Bret in WCW. Bret listened to Russo and explained that he was still going to try to get Owen out of his contract to come to WCW with him; a few minutes afterwards, Vince McMahon called Bret and told him he would sue him if he tried to get Owen out and continued to talk to Owen about his contract. Hart believed McMahon was on the phone the whole time with Russo/Bret and Bret says Vince Russo denies that claim to this day, and that it was just a coincidence that McMahon called a couple minutes after.

World Championship Wrestling (1997-2000)

Early WCW Run (1997-1998)

A day after the Survivor Series pay-per-view, Eric Bischoff, while in the nWo announced that Hart was going to be coming to WCW, and joining the nWo.

About a month after Survivor Series, Hart joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the WWF's main competitor. He made his debut on WCW Monday Nitro on December 15, 1997 when it was announced by WCW Chairman of the Board J.J. Dillon that Bret would be the special guest referee for the match between Eric Bischoff and Larry Zbyszko at Starrcade 1997.[61] Bret was involved in the Sting versus Hulk Hogan match at Starrcade 1997, stepping in toward its conclusion as impromptu referee. He attacked referee Nick Patrick, accusing him of making a fast count and shouting he would not let "it happen again" (a reference to the Montreal Screwjob).[62] During Eric Bischoff's period in control of the company, the goodwill towards Hart generated by the Montreal Screwjob resulted in him being pushed as a face, defeating Ric Flair in his first WCW match at Souled Out 1998.

Main Eventer In WCW (1999-2000)

Bret Hart returned to wrestling on the October 4, 1999 edition of Nitro in a tribute match for Owen against Chris Benoit -- this match took place in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, where Owen had died months earlier.[79] Around this same time, the WWF's top writer Vince Russo "jumped ship" to join WCW. Russo instigated an angle which involved a controversy over a series of World Heavyweight Championship matches between Sting, Hogan, and Goldberg at Halloween Havoc, ultimately leading to the title being declared vacant. A tournament then took place over several episodes of Nitro. The first round took place on the October 25 edition in which Bret Hart defeated Goldberg to advance to the second round and to also win Goldberg's WCW United States Heavyweight Championship.[80][81]

On the November 8 edition of Nitro, Hart lost the United States Heavyweight Championship to Scott Hall in a ladder match which also involved Sid Vicious and Goldberg.[82] Hart went on to win this tournament by defeating Perry Saturn,[82] Billy Kidman,[83] Sting, and Chris Benoit to win the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship. His tournament matches with Sting and Benoit occurred at Mayhem held in Hart's native Canada.[84][85][86]

He later participated in an nWo reformation with Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Creative Control. On December 7, Hart and Goldberg won the WCW World Tag Team Championship from Creative Control but lost the titles to The Outsiders on the December 13 edition of Nitro.[87] At Starrcade, Hart defended his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg. During the match, Hart was struck with a mule kick to the head, resulting in a severe concussion. Hart later speculated that he may have suffered up to three additional concussions within matches over the course of that day along with the days immediately following Starrcade, having been unaware of the severity of his injuries.[88] As a part of this, Hart placed Goldberg on the post in a figure-four leg lock which ended with Hart hitting his head on the concrete floor. The sum total of those injuries left Hart with post-concussion syndrome, and ultimately forced his retirement from professional wrestling. Hart wrote a Calgary Sun column in which he said that Goldberg "had a tendency to injure everyone he worked with".[89] As part of his DVD documentary, Hart expressed regret that "someone as good-hearted as Bill Goldberg" was responsible for hurting him.[59]

Hart vacated the title on the December 20 edition of Nitro as a result of the injury he sustained, but later that same night, Hart defeated Goldberg in a rematch for his second WCW World Heavyweight Championship.[90][91] Overall, Hart was 3-0 against Goldberg, who was noted for his undefeated streak.

Hart never lost either WCW Heavyweight Championship he held, but forfeited them instead. The second vacated title came about in January 2000 when he was forced to withdraw from the main event of WCW's Souled Out. He wrestled his last matches in both the WWF and WCW as the World Heavyweight Champion of each respective promotion.

On October 26, 2000, Hart was released from his contract with WCW due to Hart's "ongoing incapacity". He would officially declare his retirement shortly afterwards.

2002 stroke

On June 23, 2002, Bret Hart suffered a major stroke after hitting his head in a bicycle accident. The Calgary Herald reported that Hart hit a pothole, flew over the handlebars of the bike, and landed on the back of his head. Hart suffered total paralysis on his left side, which required months of physical therapy. Hart has since recovered much of his mobility and is in good health, although he suffers from an emotional imbalance and other lasting effects common to stroke survivors. Hart wrote in detail about his stroke in his biography, Hitman: My Real Life In The Cartoon World of Wrestling.

Owen James Hart

Owen James Hart (May 7, 1965 – May 23, 1999) was a Canadian professional wrestler who was most known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Hart was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada the youngest of 12 children to wrestling promoter Stu Hart and Helen Hart. He was the younger brother of professional wrestler Bret Hart. Among other accolades, Hart was the 1994 WWF King of the Ring.

Stampede Wrestling (1986-1987)

Hart entered wrestling by working for his father's Stampede Wrestling. Wrestling, however, was not his first choice for a career; as his widow Martha explained in her book Broken Harts, Owen tried numerous times to find a profitable living outside of wrestling.[1] As those attempts were unsuccessful, he decided to give wrestling a chance and see where it took him. Hart was trained in his father's legendary Hart Dungeon and made his professional debut in 1986 for his father’s federation, Stampede Wrestling. He remained with Stampede for the next couple of years while honing his skills. During 1986, Hart teamed with Ben Bassarab and won the Stampede Wrestling International Tag Team Championship.[2] The success of the team and Hart's in ring skills earned him the prestigious Pro Wrestling Illustrated Rookie of the Year Award in 1987 (coming out ahead of Ray Traylor and Shane Douglas in the fan voting). After he & Bassarab lost the tag-team titles,[2] he feuded with the likes of Johnny Smith and Dynamite Kid.

World Wrestling Federation (1988-1989)

Owen’s success in Japan and Stampede’s working relationship with the World Wrestling Federation lead to Owen Hart signing with the company in the fall of 1988. Owen debuted at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in August of 1988 under a mask called the Blue Angel. Instead of promoting Owen as Bret Hart’s younger brother, the WWF decided to create a masked “Super Hero" type gimmick for Owen Hart known as The Blue Blazer. The Blazer caught the attention of fans with his unique look and exciting aerial maneuvers, but he didn't achieve much success against upper-card talent, being eliminated at Survivor Series 1988,[4] losing to Ted DiBiase on the March 11, 1989 airing of Saturday Night's Main Event[5] and being defeated by Mr. Perfect at WrestleMania V.

World Wrestling Federation (1991-1999)

Owen had been engaged in contract discussions with WCW but the deal was never struck, as Owen was not willing to move himself and his family to the company's headquarters in Atlanta.[1] Instead, Owen signed with the WWF for a second time. In the WWF the popular Hart Foundation, comprised of his brother Bret and real-life brother-in-law Jim Neidhart, had split up; Bret set out on a singles career while Neidhart was used sparingly. Jim Neidhart was “injured" (kayfabe) by the Beverly Brothers and put out of action for a while. When Neidhart returned from his "injury" he joined Owen Hart to form a team known as The New Foundation, who became instantly recognizable for their bizarre attire - baggy pants and bright jackets.

Owen and Neidhart first feuded with the Beverly Brothers and had only one PPV match at the 1992 Royal Rumble where they beat The Orient Express.[9] Jim Neidhart left the WWF shortly after the PPV, and Owen set out on a a very short run as a singles wrestler, including a match at WrestleMania VIII against Skinner.[10] Shortly after WrestleMania, Owen was teamed up with Koko B. Ware to form the duo known as High Energy. To show team unity, Koko also adopted the trademark brightly colored baggy pants and they’d add checkermarked suspenders to make the look even more distinct. While the team was exciting and certainly “kid friendly", it was never pushed as a serious threat to the tag team titles. This was illustrated by the fact that they had only one PPV as a team, at the 1992 Survivor Series where they lost to The Headshrinkers.[11] The team was quietly dropped at the start of 1993 with Owen Hart starting a singles career, ditching the baggy pants look.

In the middle of 1993, when Bret Hart’s feud with Jerry Lawler ignited, Owen Hart stood by his brother’s side and fought against Jerry Lawler. The fight with Lawler did not take place on WWF television but mainly in the United States Wrestling Association where Bret, Owen, and most of the other WWF talent were considered the heels. Owen Hart won the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship from Papa Shango,[2] but it was never acknowledged on WWF television. Owen’s participation in the WWF vs. USWA feud was cut short when he suffered a knee injury in the summer of 1993 and was forced to take some time away from the ring. At the time, rumors circulated that Owen was on the verge of leaving the WWF due to a lack of success. Whether the knee injury was just a way for the WWF to explain his absence or not isn’t quite clear.

Owen returned to the WWF ring in the fall of 1993, at a time when Bret’s feud with Jerry Lawler was temporarily sidetracked. Bret, along with Owen and their brothers Bruce Hart and Keith Hart, were scheduled to face Jerry Lawler and his team at Survivor Series 1993. However, Jerry Lawler was unable to make it to the show, and as a result could not appear on WWF television. Lawler was replaced with Shawn Michaels. During the match Owen and Bret inadvertently crashed into each other, causing Owen to be eliminated from the team (the only Hart family member to be eliminated). While Bret, Keith, and Bruce celebrated, Owen looked on in anger.[12] The kayfabe tension between the two brothers had reared its ugly head for the first time.

Death

On May 23, 1999, Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri during the Over the Edge pay-per-view event.

Hart was in the process of being lowered via harness and rappel line into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a booked Intercontinental Championship match against The Godfather. In keeping with the Blazer's new 'buffoonish superhero' character, he was to begin a dramatic entrance, being lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would act "entangled", then release himself from the safety harness and fall flat on his face for comedic effect -- this necessitated the use of a quick release mechanism. It was an elaboration on a Blue Blazer stunt done previously on the Sunday Night Heat before Survivor Series 1998.[42] This time, something went wrong with the stunt harness, apparently triggering the release mechanism early as he was being lowered. Hart fell 78 feet (24 meters) into the ring, landing chest-first on the top rope, approximately a foot from the turn buckle, throwing him into the ring.[43] In Mick Foley's autobiography Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks, he claims that following the fall, Owen attempted to sit up and did so before falling back.

Owen had performed the stunt only a few times before and was worried about performing the stunt at Kemper Arena due to the height involved (Owen had a fear of heights). Owen's wife Martha has suggested that, by moving around to get comfortable with both the harness and his cape on, Owen unintentionally triggered an early release.

TV viewers at home did not see the incident or its aftermath -- at the moment of the fall, a pre-taped vignette was being shown on the pay-per-view broadcast as well as on the monitors in the darkened arena. After, while Owen was being worked on by medical personnel inside the ring, the live event's broadcast showed only the audience. Meanwhile, WWF television announcer Jim Ross repeatedly told those watching live on pay-per-view that what had just transpired was not a wrestling angle or storyline and that Hart was hurt badly, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.[44]

Hart was transported to the Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Owen had actually died while still being tended to in the ring. The cause was later revealed to be internal bleeding from blunt chest trauma.

Raw is Owen

Raw is Owen is the name given to a special live episode of WWF Raw is WAR that aired on May 24, 1999, the night after Owen's death at Over the Edge. It was broadcast live from the Kiel Center in St. Louis. It featured interviews from his fellow wrestlers.

According to Raw Exposed (a special that aired before the first WWE Raw airing on its return to USA Network on October 3, 2005), WWF management gave all wrestlers on the roster the option of working or not. Nevertheless, ten matches were booked with no angles.

The show began with all the wrestlers of the WWF standing on the entrance ramp (with the exception of The Undertaker). Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, and Stephanie McMahon were at the front of the ramp. Howard Finkel called for a ten-bell salute. Owen's former Nation of Domination comrades were emotional, most notably Mark Henry, who read a poem that he wrote in memory of Owen. A tribute video narrated by Vince then played on the TitanTron.[55]

Throughout the broadcast, personal thoughts on Owen in the form of interviews with various WWF Superstars were played. Before the first commercial break, such thoughts were aired from Mick Foley and Bradshaw. Foley noted that Hart was his son's favorite wrestler and had proudly gotten a haircut like Owen's, although he also said his son didn't quite understand that "nugget" was not a term of endearment.[56] Bradshaw talked about how Owen spent less money on the road than most wrestlers because he wanted to retire early and spend time with his family.

The broadcast ended with Stone Cold Steve Austin coming out for a special salute to Owen by climbing the turnbuckle and performing his famous beer guzzling routine, and leaving one beer in the ring 'for Owen'.

Shawn Michaels, in his Heartbreak and Triumph autobiography, notes that "Owen is the only guy you could have a 2-hour show for, and no-one would say a bad word about him."

The next day, WWF taped the episode of Raw for May 31, 1999. During that show, Jeff Jarrett defeated The Godfather to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship,[2] the title Owen was booked to win at Over the Edge for the third time. Jarrett screamed Owen's name as the belt was handed to him.

Stone Cold Steve Austin


'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was born in Victoria, Texas, as Steve Anderson (he later changed his name to Steve Williams), on December 18, 1964, as the youngest of five children. He played football at the North Texas State University. He was worthy of achieving a free education because of his football skills in school. Williams then began training at Chris Adams's wrestling school as a rookie near the end of 1988, and made his professional wrestling debut at the end of 1989. He then moved over to minor wrestling companies to wrestle for money, and later entered WCW under the name of 'Stunning Steve Austin'. He didn't make a large name for himself in the company, as he only held an embarrassing two TV titles.

Austin was fired by WCW and joined the WWF (now known as WWE) in December 1995. Austin left after a while to go to ECW but only stayed for a couple of weeks before he came back to the WWF as 'Stone Cold Steve Austin'. Austin then disposed of his old finishing move the 'Million Dollar Dream', which was the trademark of 'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase, and began racking up the victories with his Stone Cold Stunner (kick to the gut followed by a jawbreaker). Austin then had a good winning streak going by 1996 and wrestled to become the 1996 King Of The Ring. Austin cut his lip open during one match, and had to get it stitched up in between matches. In the grand final of the KOTR he defeated Jake 'The Snake' Roberts with a Stone Cold Stunner, and invented his famous motto as 'Austin 3:16'.

As 1997 rolled around Austin's career soared to new heights. WCW realized Austin's popularity, and tried to make a 'clone' when they invited 'Bill Goldberg' to compete for them. During that year, Austin won the WWF Intercontinental Championship twice and the Tag Team Championships. When Austin successfully defended the IC title against Rocky Maivia (now known as The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson) on a taping of RAW, he was ordered to defend it again because he drove his pickup truck to the ring and delivered a Stunner to D'Lo Brown ('A.C. Conner') on the roof, which Vince McMahon saw as weapon usage. Austin refused to defend the title again and dumped the old belt in a river, and therefore McMahon crowned Rocky Maivia as the new champion. However, Austin said he didn't care about that title, and set his sights on the Heavyweight Championship.

Although Austin had won the 1997 Royal Rumble to qualify as the Number 1 Contender for the championship at WrestleMania XIII, he didn't get the place because he was eliminated but referees didn't notice, so instead, Austin fought Bret Hart in an Iron Man match which Hart won when Austin passed out from blood loss when he was trapped in a Sharpshooter. However, Austin successfully won the 1998 Royal Rumble when he eliminated Rocky Maivia. A stipulation was made for the main event at WrestleMania XIV (Austin vs. Shawn Michaels): the special guest referee would be Iron Mike Tyson! Austin had made a friendship with Tyson, but all though Tyson betrayed him when he joined DX! However, Tyson shocked the world when Austin hit Michaels with a Stone Cold Stunner and covered him while Tyson made the count, to win his first heavyweight title! Austin then went on to enjoy three months as champion when he lost the title to Kane (Glen Jacobs)in a First Blood match on June 28, 1998, at King Of The Ring. However, Austin regained the title a day later, and was forced to compete for it in a tournament at the 1998 Survivor Series. He was defeated by Mankind ('Mick Foley'), and later that night, The Rock won the championship and joined the Corporation. As 1999 came around, Austin became embroiled in a feud with The Rock when Vince McMahon eliminated him from the Royal Rumble while The Rock had him distracted. However, Austin still got the place in the main event at WrestleMania XV, and he won his third championship from The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner. He retained the title against The Rock in a Boiler Room Brawl at Backlash 1999. Austin lost the title to The Undertaker ('Mark Callaway'), but regained it in July 1999.

Later that year, at the 1999 Survivor Series Austin was ran over by a car and had to have spinal surgery, and was out of action for the next 11 months. However, Austin returned to the wrestling scene at Backlash 2000 when he helped The Rock win his fourth WWF Championship from Triple H ('Michael Paul LeVesque'). Austin was then welcomed back to wrestle in October 2000 at No Mercy, when he fought Rikishi ('Solofa Fatu') in a No Holds Barred match which had to be stopped when Austin was about to run Rikishi over but was arrested by the police. The mystery was revealed that it was Triple H who had Rikishi run Austin over, and Austin battled Triple H at Survivor Series 2000, and won the match. Steve had a chance to win the WWF title from Kurt Angle, who was reigning at the time, at Armaggedon 2000, in a Six-Man Hell In A Cell Match, which also had Kurt Angle, The Rock, Triple H, Rikishi, and The Undertaker. Austin had the title in his grasp when he hit The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner, but Angle snuck up and covered The Rock to retain the title. Austin's hopes raised yet again when he eliminated Kane from the 2001 Royal Rumble, therefore becoming the first and only ever three-time Royal Rumble winner, and the Number One Contender for the WWF Championship.
