TWB Retro Live Tweet Recap: In Your House Canadian Stampede

GLORIOUS CANADIAN CHAOS Photo Credit: WWE.com

Last night, a cozy but courageous group of TWB readers and Twitterers gathered to watch the first consensus WWE pay-per-view event to be considered perfect. The band of babblers enjoyed a show with four stellar matches, including an opener that spilled into the arena and continued as a post-match brawl for over half the event. Triple H and Mankind put in another installment in a vicious feud that spanned five years. TAKA Michinoku and Great Sasuke overcame relative newness to the company and the announcers butchering the latter's name in an attempt to steal the show. Vader and Undertaker had perhaps the best match that could have been considered the least good match on the show. And the main event? Damn, the main event was so hot that it made the cameras shake. Watching the event was enjoyable enough, but your tweets? Those missives enhanced the experience even better, and they are following:

#TWBIYHCS OH, CANADA!

TONIGHT. IN CALGARY...ALBERTA...CANADA.... #TWBIYHCS

Confession: I sided with Bret Hart in his feud with Austin, until Hart told the American fans to "stick it."#TWBIYHCS

@IHatebd Is it a heel move to note that Canada's national anthem is better than America's? Because it is #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

I always loved the dopey little In Your House set #TWBIYHCS
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) September 4, 2014

Its easy to forget how legit tough Chyna was in her prime. #TWBIYHCS
— Brandon Mars (@brandon120) September 4, 2014

These are the matches that made me a Mick Foley guy before he dove off a cage #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

This match and the MSG Raw return of Cactus Jack made me a Foley fan for life #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

Same wavelength?

FORESHADOWING #TWBIYHCS RT @WisconsinRob: @tholzerman"Has Helmsley ever tried to buy the WWF?" is an even bettet joke 17 years later.
— DAD NEWS BARRETT TH (@tholzerman) September 4, 2014

I usually don't link to my own tweets, but Rob forgot the hash tag on his amazingly astute observation there.

"Helmsley is very astute in the ring" Some would say he's cerebral, JR. #TWBIYHCS
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) September 4, 2014

I'd love to see 'Aitch try and do that running flip into a Tree of Woe today. #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

TWO MINUTES FOR ROUGHING! #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

Hunter goes into the penalty box; feels shame. #TWBIYHCS#SlapShot
— wrestlefeed (@wrestlefeed) September 4, 2014

Mick Foley would probably be at least a 2nd line forward for the Flames today #TWBIYHCS
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) September 4, 2014

Sighhhhh. And now a reminder that Vince has fucked up so many amazing wrestlers just because they weren't big and musclar #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

The match was designed as a showcase for Sasuke and a contract that never emerged but Taka stole the show and got the contract #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

Reminder: The Great Sasuke ran for office in Japan and won, and continued to wear the mask while a legislator. #TWBIYHCS
— wrestlefeed (@wrestlefeed) September 4, 2014

Foley/HHH: the original Ambrose/Rollins #TWBIYHCS
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) September 4, 2014

...meanwhile, back at the ranch.

SasuKAAAAYYYY! #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

THAT IS NOT HOW YOU PRONOUNCE SASUKE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS I WILL BEGIN THE MURDERS SOON #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

If TAKA falls to the outside and they don't replay it 100s of times, did it really happen? #TWBIYHCS
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) September 4, 2014

Seeing this match and knowing what happened with Taka Michinoku makes me fear for Kenta's future in WWE. #TWBIYHCS
— Brandon Mars (@brandon120) September 4, 2014

TAKA is made of springs and rubber #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

NOT THE KEGS, MAN! #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

HHH and a bus. #Foreshadowing#INeverActuallySawThatMovie#TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

Good lord Ahmed Johnson. He was awful. He hurt people in the ring. He always got hurt. And I still liked him. 97 was a dark time #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

Paul Bearer without makeup is so much creepier than the whiteface #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

IT'S TAAHHHHHHMMMMM! #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

The Man They Call Vader isn't quite as cool as This Is Sting, but it's pretty great #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

Few WWE entrance themes have ever and will ever be as flat out awesome as Undertaker's dead man theme #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

Let us all pause and remember when 'Taker had a full head of hair. #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

At least Vader has those immortal episodes of Boy Meets World. #TWBIYHCS
— Brandon Mars (@brandon120) September 4, 2014

1997, when murder was acceptable storyline fodder. #TWBIYHCS
— wrestlefeed (@wrestlefeed) September 4, 2014

Sunny AND the Honky Tonk Man? Let's call the Superstar Hotline right now! #TWBIYHCS
— wrestlefeed (@wrestlefeed) September 4, 2014

Shoes are such a dangerous weapon in the world of pro wrestling. #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

I really like Vader's jog around the ring to sneak attack the Undertaker #TWBIYHCS
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) September 4, 2014

Wait. Is that a teardrop tatt on Taker's face? How did I miss that all those years ago? #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

Didn't know Taker killed a man in prison...

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: Undertaker was actually prosecuted and convicted for murdering his parents. Because he's a legit ghoul #TWBIYHCS
— Pro Wrestling SKOOPZ (@HorbFlerbminber) September 4, 2014

...his sentence was to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which he carried out after SEVERAL APPEALS this year #TWBIYHCS
— Pro Wrestling SKOOPZ (@HorbFlerbminber) September 4, 2014

In Canada, attacks to the dingus are legal. #TWBIYHCS#dingus
— wrestlefeed (@wrestlefeed) September 4, 2014

This is like the 3rd time tonight that WWF officials saw a low blow and did nothing. Some lax officiating inn the 90s #TWBIYHCS
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) September 4, 2014

"Rabble rabble rabble rabble" - Animal #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

TELL EM HAWK!!!! #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

Is Goldust the only person on this show still working a full time wrestling schedule? #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

C'mon Fink, we're in Canuckistan. Say that shit in kilos. #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

40% of the competitorss in this match are now deceased. So Sad. #TWBIYHCS
— Brandon Mars (@brandon120) September 4, 2014

I predicted huge, sky is the limit things for Ken Shamrock. Still kind of bummed he plateaued where he did in wwe #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

Now to remind everyone that for no reason just the mere sight of Bruce Hart in his FUCKING SUNGLASSES enrages me beyond belief #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

Smith Hart for what it's worth is banned from WWE today because they fear the lawsuits from injuries suffered watching him in HD #TWBIYHCS
— Pro Wrestling SKOOPZ (@HorbFlerbminber) September 4, 2014

Ahhh Brian Pillman. What could have been. Just a fucking tragedy. #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

OWEN WITH THE SLAMMY AWARD, NEVER FORGET! #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

They're filimg a documentary on Bret Hart's life? Wow I sure hope they don't catch anything incriminating later in Montreal. #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

"If Austin had any hair, it would've been parted right there." Um, I don't think Mark Henry's in this match, JR. #TWBIYHCS#splittinwigs
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

Probably the only crowd you could ever get an "ANVIL! ANVIL! ANVIL" chant out of #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

Never forget that Trips curtain-jerked this PPV. #TWBIYHCS
— Lindz (@queenofthering) September 4, 2014

Love how this match is so much fun that none of us are tweeting. We're just watching #TWBIYHCS
— KMB (@KMB2476) September 4, 2014

It's true! The lull in tweets was pretty telling.

2nd best part of the match is Austin taking the pin fall. Didn't have to, but made finish extra satisfying #TWBIYHCS
— Rob in WI (@WisconsinRob) September 4, 2014

I wonder if we can spot teenage Nattie and teenage Tyson Kidd in this melee somewhere. #TWBIYHCS
— Brandon Mars (@brandon120) September 4, 2014

I did see Nattie towards the end, for what it's worth.

of all the people, Austin came back to hit Neidhart with the chair. Neidhart. #TWBIYHCS
— bd (@IHatebd) September 4, 2014

Thanks again for everyone who came out and tweeted. Check back to the Tweets next month when I'll either have an EXTREME show to watch or a selection from TBS' bread and butter.
