@themickiejames is a legend!
"The only people that remember that are the people watching or who were there live and in person. It didn't make the DVD.
I came back through the curtain and Vince (McMahon) was really mad. In the moment it had seemed amazing to me. I thought 'Vince will love this'.
'Crass' was the word I got. He didn't like it at all. He told me 'We're going to have to go back and edit that out. Do you know how much time this will take? This was my first Wrestlemania, my mom was in the audience, I'm freaking out already. I'm back through the curtain and I'm already in tears and an emotional mess. And I got yelled at."

Bret Hart defeated Bob Backlund to retain the WWF Championship on Superstars from the Convention Center in Ocean City, Maryland.
_______________________________________________________
"We traded holds and counterholds, and the fans, who were no longer accustomed to longer, wrestling-based matches, liked it a lot. It was an oldschool match all the way to the end when I got him in a cradle and I thought I heard the ref slap the mat three times, released the hold, and threw my hands in the air and began to celebrate. In reality, the ref had only counted to two, and pushed my hands down. I turned around, and Bret surprised me with his own small package and the referee counted to three and the match went to Bret and the dream of a being a champion once again.
According to plan, Vince was on television talking about how my comeback effort had fallen just short, but what a wonderful story it all was, but in the ring, the story was just beginning, as the real angle was about to bloom. Bret extended a hand to me in a token of sportsmanship, and whereas the old Bob Backlund would have shaken it and held his arm up in a token of victory—the newly emerging Mr. Backlund stared him down for a long beat, and then slapped him across the face, put him in the Chickenwing Crossface, and refused to release the hold.
The fans turned on me in a heartbeat, and I grimaced and scowled and bugged my eyes out, and acted like I had gone insane refusing to release the hold until a bunch of other wrestlers jumped into the ring and intervened. I then did that little gesture where I turned my palms up and looked down at my hands, as if I wasn’t even sure what I had done—and that little gesture became my new calling card. To this day, fans still do that when they see me."

Haven't seen this tape since I had it recorded at home while I was at the PPV. I sat front row for this show! Rico Constantino attended as well.
RIP Rosey.

Shane Strickland defeated Will Ospreay to retain the AEW Championship at Forbidden Door from the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York!!!
Felt like this upset win was an apology for Swerve's awful booking as Champion.
