SHOW OPENER PROMO

Kurt Angle '01 receives a hero's welcome before turning on his hometown by running them down. Angle talks about his respect for Ricky Steamboat winning the WWE Hardcore Championship and redefining it to represent a competitor that exhibits qualities similar to Kurt's “three I's” instead of someone who resorts to utilizing foreign objects.

However, Angle considers himself a better fit for that role over Steamboat who Angle pokes at by claiming that while “The Dragon” is one of the best wrestlers in WWE history, that he couldn't keep up with “The Olympic Hero”. It doesn't take long for Steamboat to appear and put the title on the line against Angle '01!

SHOW CLOSER PROMO

Bret Hart left the WWE in 1997 before The Rock's meteoric rise and as a result “The Hitman” never went one-on-one with “The Great One” of legend. This Sunday at Elimination Chamber '17 the world will experience “The Excellence of Execution” take on “The Most Electrifying Man in Sports-Entertainment”.

The world will see what would've happened if The Montreal Screwjob never happened and Bret stuck around to go toe-to-toe with The Rock!
