I don't know what this says about me but I did a double-take when Bret thanked God among the others. I didn't think Bret was anywhere near ready for this at the time and he probably legitimately wasn't, but I still would have preferred this to another Warrior title reign. And once Made in the USA Lex Luger was getting shoved down my throat I was begging for Bret to come back to the title picture.

Tremendous humble promo from the new WWF champion. Promos like this were a lost art then just as they are now, and this one was a treat to hear. I especially liked Bret thanking Flair for getting into the ring with him; I've heard of guys putting over the former champion they've just beaten, but I can't think of one who thanked the former champion for the opportunity to wrestle him. They really wanted to present Bret as something different here, almost a Backlund for the nineties.

 

Somehow Bret thanking God seemed more heartfelt than Hogan's plaudits for "The Big Man Upstairs". Maybe it's because Bret comes across as more genuinely humble than Hogan was, even before he became immortal.

 

The fan holding up the Intercontinental belt replica as a show of support for Bret was very cute. Someone get him a World belt replica pronto!

 

Why was Okerlund showing Bret where to stand all of a sudden? You'd think they'd never conducted a platform interview before, either of them.

 

Just like at SummerSlam after Davey Boy gets the pin, Vince chooses to lay out and let the moment speak for itself. Wise choice on both counts, Vince.
