He was set to take on his real-life brother-in-law Bret Hart for the Intercontinental Championship in the evening's main event.

He packed a hard punch and even his voice was enough to make the hardest of men tremble in fear. Not only was he tough, but he also had a heart of gold and looked out for his own.
