Got to spend…… MoreIt isn’t long before Hart finally gets frustrated, whipping The Kid into the ropes and nailing him in the mouth with a brutal looking back elbow, dropping The Kid to the ground instantly, opening him up for a side headlock It’s a short-lived dominance though, as The Kid fights back to his feet and shoots Hart off into the ropes Hart answers with a body tackle, but The Kid is quick to try and trip Hart up coming off the ropes againMichael Cole notes that this match was supposed to happen later in the evening, though it’s going to happen now
The bell rings and the match begins Big E goes at Sheamus immediately Sheamus with Chops to Big E, dropping him to one knee Sheamus heads to the ropes, Big E meets him and Clotheslines Sheamus over the top rope
The referee begins to count as Big E hits a massive Shoulder Tackle into the steel stairs We see Otis, The Miz, and several other WWE Superstars surrounding the ring to apparently ward off RetributionHart makes it to his feet first but Kid ducks him coming off the ropes, and hits a jumping spin kick that ends up being more of a leg lariat than anything else, but is effective nonetheless The Kid retreats to the corner, seemingly in desperation, and Hart follows suit
It turns out to be a trap, and The Kid does a switch in the corner and nails Hart with a barrage of front kicks to the chest, and an absolutely deadly-looking spin kick to the face He may not have gotten all of it the first two times he went for it, but he definitely got all of it this time Now it’s time for the big comebackIn 1993, Waltman joined the company and would quickly be moved to television
While his start may have been somewhat auspicious due to him suffering a pinfall loss to Doink the Clown in his debut, and cycling through multiple names week to week, (“Kamikaze Kid”, “Cannonball Kid”, then finally just “The Kid”) Waltman finally found his footing when he scored his famous upset victory by pinfall over Razor Ramon This victory and the subsequent rivalry between the two would have helped launch Waltman into stardom as “The 1-2-3 Kid”, the company’s premier underdogSean Waltman, known in 1992 as The Lightning Kid, was a young and agile competitor who had made a name for himself in the Memphis-based promotion Global Wrestling Federation against fellow light heavyweight Jerry Lynn Together, they helped spearhead a revolution in the structure and style of light heavyweight wrestling
He also made a name for himself in Japan against fellow junior heavyweight breakouts Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Jushin Thunder Liger His style was unique and truly ahead of his time, constructed mostly of martial arts-style kicks and high-flying offense He was also only 20 years old at the time, making him all the more alluring to bigger promotions who needed fresh faces WWF was certainly one such promotion
Bret Hart pins The 1-2-3 Kid, the referee counts to two, and the Kid gets his foot on the rope The referee is unable to see this from his position though, and counts the three anyway, declaring Hart the winner and still the champion Bret Hart, ever the fighting champion, refused to have his hand raised or accept the victory, telling the referee that Kid had his foot on the rope before the three count; therefore, Bret does not deserve the victory After about a minute of the two bickering, and another official entering the ring to straighten things out, it is decided that the match will be restarted as we go into break, further showcasing why Hart was such a popular character in the company, as well as one of the best babyfaces they ever produced
Fast forward a little over a year, and The Kid had multiple pinfall victories over top acts such as Razor Ramon and Ted Dibiase, cementing him as a credible threat for a title and not just a flash in the pan underdog During the 1994 Hall of Fame, Bret Hart picked The 1-2-3 Kid by name as a challenger he wanted to defend his WWF Championship against, claiming he wanted to measure himself against the youngest and best the company had to offer On July 11th, Bret Hart vs 1-2-3 Kid was set, marking Waltman’s first ever one on one World Championship match
