Is Owen Hart the most underrated wrestler of all time? Let us know in the comments below!
BY FAR the most underrated!!!
okay if so then why did he go to his ass and break austins neck? now i def think Owen is underrated but not the MOST...
@@chrono050 Owen had a bad knee. Torn acl that he never had surgically repaired. Thats why he didnt drop to knees
Austin already had a bad neck BEFORE Summerslam 97. Austin has admitted that he HIMSELF was the one to suggest the piledriver spot
Why the F would a guy with an already bad neck suggest taking ANY kind of piledriver, PERIOD???
@@chrono050 Yep and Dan Severn as well
Ask stone cold
Bret and Owen’s feud is 100% up there with the greatest feuds in the business. Two amazing wrestlers in their prime. Thinking of you Owen. Rip x
What made it amazing is just how long lasting it was connecting through multiple interconnecting storylines
"Enough is enough. I'm a champion. Look at me, I'm a champion. I am not a nugget." - Owen Hart
Im a black heart darn it i winner a soul survivor WOOOO 🖤🩷
Sorry I’m late but my nose got here ten minutes ago!! Wooo!
@@masterobiwan3349 and what the hell im I doing wearing this ridiculous outfit I look like a darn road sign what the hell am i a school crossing? I tried to be a guy, but I just couldn’t grow my darn beard in!!
And that's why I kicked your leg out of your leg. "The Rocket" Owen Hart
I am not an aardvark
I could listen to Bret tell stories all day every day
"I could listen to Bret whinge and b1tch all day"
Cause he tells the truth in a world full of bullshitters
some people are extremely easily amused..this is boring and putting me to sleep. I am even gonna try using this for when I have to babysit. I am sure it will definitely put kids to sleep now.
@@ravinraven6913 you are a natural hater lol
@@ravinraven6913 massive hater
My Dad showed me their Wrestlemania 10 match when I first showed interest in pro wrestling when I was young. Owen was the reason my dad loved watching actual wrestling matches and not entertainment spots. RIP OWEN HART
One of my all time favorite matches. I remember watching WM10 live with a couple of my friends, and us three little kids looked at each other in shock when owen won. 😅 Great match; I'll still throw it on from time to time.
Its funny how Bret was the Champion and new face of the WWF but then they give the belt to Yoko and get it back on Hogan. Didnt work, he left. Then they tried to make Lugar the face, didnt work either. Then they went back to Bret. Then they wanted to make Diesal the face, pushed him hard, held the belt for a year, before they had to to with Bret again. Then Shawn Michaels rose up the ranks and was pushed as the face. Eventually Bret got the title again. While they tried to go back to Hogan, and then make Lugar, Diesal, and Shawn the face of the company, Bret was always the most reliable top star from late 92 to late 97 when the screwjob happened.
All those guy you mentioned including Bret didn't draw. WWF only started to draw big money in 98 with Austin.
You hit it right on the money. Brett Hart was a great wrestler and I think a good person but he just could not draw the money and he was the fallback guy. Vince McMahon didn’t have a whole Kogen anymore and he kept trying to make one and he couldn’t hence why Brett Hart had to continue to be the fallback.eventually Austin showed up and the rest is history.
@@Birdman669I 100% agree with you. I love Bret Hart and think he deserves more credit for helping WWF survive that period than he gets. I think he thinks he was a better draw than he was, but you are right without Hart keeping the WWF alive we would never had had the greatest wrestler of all-time Stone Cold.
@@3Overhaus in fairness, the wrestling business went on a downturn for a few years. Even in 91 numbers were already going down. That pattern continued the Attitude Era.
Yeah it seems vince was just never fully sold on him and only used him when he had nothing else. Pretty shitty and sad tbh. Because as a kid, i idolizes bret. He just happened to have his biggest ywars when wrestling was at a low point. So i think he unnecessarily got some blame for that.
These memories that Bret shared with us are special. They have a special place in his heart and one day when he’s gone, they will be heard, cherished, and remembered
Tell that to idiot Bischoff who swears that Bret's just a miserable person that never smiles or has fun.
maybe he can learn how to sound like hes got some kind of energy. Hes so boring....If they are special memories, he shouldn't be putting us to sleep. He should sound like he wants to talk about Owen..or wrestling, but he doesn't. He sounds like hes tired of coming on these interviews...they all look and sound the same. ask questions to brett hart. Then Hart replies in the most monotone unenergetic way possible....
Interviewer: Hey Bret Hart, its so nice to see you
Bret: gasp....uh ok yea, its uh nice to be here....
Interviewer: Oh man, I can't believe this is happening, you are the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be
Bret says under his breath: god, hes acting like I don't know my own catch phrase.
Bret: Thanks, its a honor to be here with...who are you again? I still get paid right?
Bret: Gasps...well I am happy to be here...
@@ravinraven6913he’s unapologetically authentic. Fake energy is always corny
@@ravinraven6913You do know he had a stroke that left his left side paralyzed and it's pretty hard to fully recover from something like this? Not everyone can be as energetic as you, pal.
owen played the jealous brother so well, and I liked his promos, even on those occasions when he messed up it was hilarious ("a leg out of your leg!")
He did it at home too during the holidays to rib Bret and the rest of the family too lol
Owen was easily a once in a lifetime kind of guy ❤
Bret kept his promise with going all in the Backlund fued. It was by far the best angle of 1994
It was good, but Razor vs. the Heartbreak Hotel was pretty solid, too.
Bret and Owen was the best angle of 94
@@drvn8but Bret and Owen was the best angle
@@drvn8 Razor and Heartbreak had some good matches but Bret had better storylines in 94 with his feuds with both Backlund and Owen.
@@ssssssstssssssss Depends on what you're looking for I suppose. We all knew that Owen was not going to win the belt. As far as the Backlund feud, I thought it sort of fell flat. I still think they should've built Bret vs. Razor for the belt at WM XI.
Man i luv Bret Hart and the fact he does these interviews and shares these stories even when they're often the same stories he doesn't get tired of sharing with us. I hope he realizes he's giving fans a lot to cherish after he's lived his full life.
Many should watch a highlight reel of Owen Hart wrestling during the stampede days. Its is almost spooky how much of Owen's type of high flying wrestling we see today. Just compare it to a Rollins, Omega, Finn, Syles, or almost all of AEW. It is almost identical. And Owen was doing this during the "big man era".
I started watching wrestling in the 80s when I was a little kid, I stopped watching wrestling around 98. I only ever had one favorite wrestler and it was Bret Hart. My girlfriend got me a Cameo form him last year and at age 43, I felt like a kid again. He was so amazing and I very much felt the love from him that he still has for his fans. He's a great guy and I can't get enough of his stories.
You stopped at the absolute worst time
@@nickcancelliere5638no he didn't, late 80's to late 90s was real wrestling
Uh no, he stopped before the worst time.@@nickcancelliere5638
Glad to hear him speak on the scene with Davey at Survivor Series, which I always thought was one of the most unintentionally funny scenes in wrestling. Davey’s seemingly half dead through the whole scene and NO ONE cares. Stu finally kinda glanced over his shoulder at the end like “maybe someone should help him”, but then just shrugs it off and goes back to tending to Bret like it’s nothing. Cracks me up every time.
They shouldve had Davey stretchered out after that spot
I love how wretlers took wrestling seriously back then. This or when Macho got a separation from Liz. Now you see guys have a serious "feud" with each other and then they ride together (Miz and Dolph) on a WWE show.
He remains the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be... And still telling it exactly like it is. Will always love Bret.
It's really sad knowing that he's the only hart member of the heart foundation
It is sad. Just like when you think of the Heenan Family. Only The Ared Rooster and Brooklyn Brawler are still around. 😪
Unless you count Jimmy Hart.
I totally remember the Backlund feud from 1994, and specifically the “throw in the towel” match from Survivor Series. I really enjoyed that entire angle and thing, it was sort of the high water mark for me in terms of following wrestling in the early to mid-90s
I was so sad for Bret lmfao
Owen vs Bret worked so well because Owen was such a believable heel … you believed he could beat anyone and he was out to prove he was better than his brother the world champion
they worked so well because they were brothers....................they trained and learned in the same spot..they knew each others moves, their looks....only a tool would think they worked together because he was a believable heel...seriously you must not know anything.
I mean duh, the better you know each other the better you work together...look at WCW cruiser weight division. They wrestled each other at least 4 times a month. They knew each others work. Thats why it started wcw shows, thats why they wrestled despite not having any character or story progression...not because one was a BELIEVABLE heel...what a fool you are
Bret Hart's prowess within the wrestling ring was undeniable, but his skills on the microphone often took a backseat to his in-ring ability. However, there was a period in his career where he truly shone as a talker, and that was when he embraced the role of the anti-American heel.
During this phase, Bret Hart's promos were laced with venomous critiques of American society, politics, and culture. He tapped into a vein of nationalistic tension, portraying himself as the righteous outsider who saw through the facade of American exceptionalism. It was a persona that resonated deeply with certain segments of the audience, particularly those who felt disillusioned with mainstream American ideology.
But it wasn't just his anti-American rhetoric that made his mic work compelling. Hart's ability to weave personal grievances into his promos added layers of depth to his character. He frequently lamented being overlooked and underestimated by the WWE establishment, a sentiment that mirrored real-life tensions between Hart and the company.
This narrative reached its climax in the lead-up to Survivor Series 1997, a pivotal moment in wrestling history now famously known as the Montreal Screwjob. Hart's vocal frustration and paranoia about being "screwed" by WWE management seemed like mere storyline fodder at the time. However, in hindsight, it foreshadowed the real-life events that would unfold in Montreal.
The tension between Hart and WWE management culminated in a controversial finish to his match against Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series, where Hart was double-crossed in the ring, leading to his departure from the company under acrimonious circumstances. In retrospect, Hart's promos during this period take on a haunting quality, serving as a reminder of the blurred lines between fiction and reality in the world of professional wrestling.
So while Bret Hart may not be remembered as one of the all-time great talkers in wrestling history, his stint as an anti-American heel showcased a different side of his mic skills, one characterized by biting social commentary and an uncanny ability to blur the lines between fiction and reality.
Bret is a dude that really loved the game. He’s still so passionate about it, I find it very inspiring. My grandpa told me “do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life.”
He loved his family more. Much more. And that's a fact.
@@TEMUJINARTS definitely, he’s like the last one living from the hart foundation. I spent more than half my life in Calgary. I absolutely love the whole hart family. I hope he lives the rest of his life out happy, that guy paid a lot of his heart into the wrestling game.
Bret Hart a great human, looking after is younger brother Owen Hart! ❤
Bret vs Bruce wouldve been horrible.
That story about Customs detaining them just to catch them being ok with each other is great!
Owen is BY FAR the most underrated wrassler of all time
Nope booker t is
@@JustinSharpe-h9h Booker T won multiple world championships in both WCW and WWE. Owen did not. So I'm gonna have to disagree.
@@jonbourgoin182Owen never got the chance too reach his potential
@@demetriusjohnson2240 Owen wouldve drawn HUGE as WWF world champ
Obviously not, if one bump in the ring killed him
Owen and Bret also worked because of their age difference. Bret was a distinctive older brother, being 8 years older. There was a younger brother complex that Owen could really pull from. Their styles were different, but completely complimentary to one another. Owen should have won the belt from Bret, and given a few months to run with it before Diesel’s run.
I feel like Bob Backlund should have kept the belt longer after he beat Bret for it at Survivor Series 1994. Backlund should have kept it until Wrestlemania 11 and lost the belt back to Bret in a rematch. Bret should have won the Royal Rumble in 1995 to set up that match.
Great story about Bob Backlund buying all that beer for his fellow wrestlers in Japan. Backlund strikes me as somebody who doesn't even drink beer as he's been reputed by all other wrestlers as a total health nut with a strict life-long fitness regimen.
Bob Backlund was definitely a total health nut. Who completely abstained from drugs and even smoking. But the man definitely loved his cold beer. Especially in a relaxed social setting amongst the boys. Jim Ross has talked about this.
Owen would of been a great world champion
Lol no
Owen was a great wrestler... underrated for sure..
He wasn't underrated everyone knew how good he was
taking TOO seriously is Bret all the time.. At your sunday family dinner in Calgary you STILL sold the feud wild stuff
Bruce would have been more of a legit hated heel feuding with Bret where Owen was more of a loveable heel. I get that as a worker Owen would have been easier to work with.
I love how Bret looked after his brother. He wanted him to make money.❤
Kicked the leg out of his leg.
That's an accidental goat promo 🤣🤣🙂
@@BeastNationXIV Someone should use that in a promo now, unironically.
😂
That promo literally kicked off the New Generation Era
Miss you Owen 😢
Bret really loves his brother still talks about him. Which is why Bret Hart is a legend and the best damn wrestler alive today. Thank you Bret you are an icon
@mikem3868 - Yeah Bret loves his Brother Owen so much he returned to the Company and Boss who were negligable at best and wholly culpable at worst for the Death of his much beloved Brother Owen Hart. Anyone with an ounce of love would want nothing to do with such a Company ever again, but Bret returned not because of his love for his Brother but because he (Bret) was scared he (Bret) would be forgotten - the scared bit are Bret's words by the way. Icon? Pahlease.... Unless you mean I con.....
Absolutely awesome ! I love Bret . He is such a class act and all around one of THE BEST wrestlers to ever do it ! FACTS .
The part about Davey being in “critical condition” at the end made me crack up.
Love both Bret and Owen Hart. Bret was and still is my favourite wrestler his work against Curt Henning in 91 and 93, Davey Boy Smith in 92 and 95, Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania 8 just to mention a few was second to none.
Owen was just incredible he was a natural heel just a top notch guy. The cage match at Summerslam 94 and The opener at Wrestlemania 10 was testimony to how good both brothers were.
RIP OWEN JAMES HART
Hennig
In the weirdest of hindsight . Owen should have just became a fireman . He would been home with his family
He tried...hard. Couldn't get hired. The Calgary Fire Department (where I live) is notoriously tuff to get a job with. Even Keith Hart couldn't get Owen in and Keith was on the department.
@@misterslatsinteresting
If I'm not mistaken Owen had a similar reputation as Bret, in that he never hurt anyone. The piledriver against Austin really hurt how many fans saw him. To this day many believe that the Severn piledriver was a shoot, so many are labeling him as dangerous. Personally, as great as Bret was, I always prefered Owen due to his character work and high flying style.
Will you guys eventually post this in its entirety? I get posting it in pieces but now I just want to see this front to back after so many clips
They won't. This interview is like 4 years old now. They're now reuploading past clips with more clickbaity titles.
Bret vs Owen Hart at Wrestlemania X is my all time favorite match...
Idk why i imagined Davey wit his eyes x-ed out like a defeated Pokémon while he told that story at the end 😂😂
Absolutely love hearing stories about Owen.
You will never find dedication like Bret gave to wrestling
Only Bret says SummerSlam as “The SummerSlam” 😅 7:42
World wrestling federation championship belt 😂
Yeah CTE is hilarious. Let’s see how you talk after getting kicked in the head by a 250lb guy
@@Bob.sakamento Stfu, he’s been saying that Before he was forced to retire.
Doing kayfabe at the family dinners. That is true commitment.
Brett managed to do a live u-turn in his backland being too old story. Repainting history is one of his best talents.
Owen n Bret was 1 of my favorite feuds off all time
Both legends 💜
I know that Jim Neidhart was having his own issues at the time. Having said that. I have no idea why Vince wouldn't keep the Hart Foundation going by tagging Brett up with Owen instead of having them feud. Likewise, and I'm certainly not taking anything away from either Jim or Tom Billington. But I also always thought that Vince should have kept the British Bulldogs going with Jonny Smith and Davey Boy Smith!
Bret Hart should’ve been bigger than Hulk Hogan.
The situation with Backlund, I mean would you have wanted Owen in that spot as what was simply just a transitional champion spot? Nash was getting the belt and he actually ended up winning it from Backlund in less than a minute like two days later. It was just a way to get it off one face on to another at that time. The Iron Shiek was just a transition champ when he took it from Backlund and then it went to Hogan about a month later. Owen deserved a run with the belt as an intended champion. He was as good as Triple H.
Every time I hear or see a Bret Hart interview it makes me sad to see this legend grow old. He gave up his body and pretty much lost everything that mattered. I pray that Bret has found peace and happiness in his life because he brought so much happiness to the world.
Jeff vs Matt could’ve worked, it was just timing. That year was Jeff’s year, it was his first wwe championship reign, and he should’ve honestly main evented wrestlemania 25.
Bret and Owen's feud is timeless and paved the way for future brother vs brother or Best Friend vs Best Friend storylines in Wrestling. Think Matt vs Jeff, KO vs Sami, Johhny Gargano vs Ciampa HBK vs Triple H, Taker vs Kane etc
I remember going to Raw when i was about 12 in San Bernardino, Ca. Little did i know they taped a whole months raw shows at a time. It was incredible. I saw so many things like the debut of goldust and marc mero... and Yokozuna getting taken out on a forklift because of vader breaking his leg... but the thing i remember most was spitting on bob backlund in the crowd(he was " running for president " i think at the time) and my hero bret hart wasnt there im not sure but i think the story was his arm was broken from the crose face chicken wing.... also saw the ultimate warrior and the undertaker there too
Hell ya
That's Dope.
Nothing against backlund. But I think if they put the belt Owen at summerslam 94. Then had him drop to Diesel in late December. Then they would have a much better match tips for Nash during his title reign. If think about it Nash could have a series of matches with Shawn. A series of matches with Owen. A couple with bulldog. Before he drop it to Bret. You could have Bert chase Owen the through summer in to fall. Have Owen barley escape with the belt each time. Then let Bert take some time off like he did a the end of that year. Do that MSG house show. Say Owen original opponent wasn't there or couldn't compete. So they had to make a substitute witch would be Diesel. Have Diesel beat Owen for the title the same way he beat backlund. Then you could have Owen saying he was cheated out the title for the rest of the year. That would give you a handful of Diesel vs Owen matches for those early in your house pay per views & king of the ring. Then have Shawn win the rumble as a heel. Then have Shawn win the king of the ring as a babyface. That would give you the Diesel vs Shawn matches for WrestleMania and summerslam 95. You could even start teasing Diesel heel turn at summerslam. You could turn heel on Diesel a month or two before summerslam witch would lead to the Diesel vs Bulldog matches for the couple of in your house pay per views before survivor series. Where Diesel drops it to Bret & fully turns heel like original did that year. That would have been a lot better for Diesel's title run then the matches with sid & Mabel.
“I don’t know if I want everyone thinking I hate my brother. l have to think about it.” And that is why Bret is so annoying and ppl couldn’t stand working with him. DUDE ITS A WORK!!!
I mean you could say it was his innocence on the industry and also at the time we all believed the story lines were as real as rain. I think the moment he found out anything was good for business he was all the way in!
@@VeeUnitify naaa he grew up in the business dude. He wasn’t naive.
Man I wish Owen became wwe champ one time I mean he did but the reign wasn’t recognized it was a dark match and it was under lumberjack rules
Where and when did Owen become champion? Who did he defeat in the dark match?
I always preferred Bret, it was like watching Picasso or DaVinci painting. Just watching a master doing what he's great at.
But, Owen was arguably better than Bret in the ring. Bret knew how to do more things, but Owen just had such a way to how he moved.
I love listening to the stories of wrestlers. They have the best stories. So much humour, hurt, wonder, and much more. I could listen all day to their stories.
Listening to him talk about fellow wrestlers he has a lot of fondness for many who looked out for the young guys (when he was one of them) and he tries to speak well of everyone.
A little bitter about some guys who were unwilling to look out for the young talent, but aside from that he is so respectful of the guys in the business.
Even crediting Vince for his ideas while also making the odd humorous remark about him, which I’m sure McMahon enjoys.
ENOUGH! Owen Hart should have emerged at WWF OVER THE EDGE 1999 when Blue Blazer flaked on the match.
Owen beats Godfather; Intercontinental Championship and release the hoes.
That begins another run at spitting on and crying foul over ATTITUDE.
Professional wrestling vs Sports Entertainment
To lose the belt to yokozuna i can understand but to give the beltcto hogan immediately after that was a terrible decision
RIP Owen
They didn't get on but they was still brothers. Couldn't imagine that pain after he died. I've got 2 younger brothers and I couldn't imagine that pain.
My favorite part of WrestleMania 10 is when Razor and Savage and all the wrestlers hoist Bret on their shoulders and then Owen came out to play the jealous brother ill never forget that
Awesome story 😢🙏
It's good to hear from people like Bret Hart and their time in the wrestling business. Many of them from that era are not around anymore. Bret Hart was really dedicated to his craft.
Customs guy: “See I knew you were friends.” If I was Owen, who had a big mouth and was sarcastic af, I would’ve been like, “Yeah, we did, look at his and mines last names on the ticket smart*ss, how many people in the world have the last name Hart, much less 2 in the same airport.” And I would’ve loved to see their reaction if Owen or even Bret would’ve said something like that, cuz if it was cuz they rarely talked, it’s like he never heard of family issues that lead to not speaking, which would be my guess if I didn’t know what Kayfabe was,cuz he couldn’t have been that obtuse to not notice that the names are the same, and Hart at least in the states is NOT COMMON at all.
Bret you are a fucking legend.Absolutely one of the best ever in the business.Grew up watching you.There will never be another Bret Hart
That’s what I always loved about Brett the hit man hart he was alway’s so good to his fan’s and he was always extra good to the little kid’s and Bret hart was alway’s so appreciative with everything he got and hell he earned it but was still very thankful for everything he had and earned in my opinion could of been put way further than Vince pushed him over cause people may have forgotten but Bret was loved by the whole world….
I love when Luke just wander in to the podcast.
The more i listen to Brett Hart the more i like him, more so now than when he was working
Compared to that golden age, this modern wwe is painful to watch.
Imagine if Owen would have been allowed to leave WWE after Bret left. He would have been amazing in WCW's Cruiserweight division. Even bringing back his Japan gimmick.
All the wrestlers who knew Owen should get together and write a book about the best jokes he played on them
It would definitely be a top selling book
Damn, great stories. I loved both of them back in the eighties. I used to be a big fan of Owen when he was the big star on Stampede Wrestling.
uhh Jeff vs Matt did work
Right lol multiple times
RIP Owen Hart!
stayed up with milk and cookies or LSD? lol
His match with backlund was great. Remember watching in 1994.
Today’s fans would not understand the match probably.
I hope I can meet Brett at a signing or an event someday. Truly a great wrestler and champion.
I’m 34 years old with a life full of insomnia in it! Bret hart speaking could make me sleep like a baby
Good work on making such a small sentence so hard to read.
@@spunkmeyer43 hope you got your frustrations out with your comment 😴
If not, his wrestling could put you to sleep.
@@mgaamerica9185 I’ve fell asleep to those as well
Bret and Owen at wm 10 is number 2 in my top 3 matches ever. I was a young kid when it happened. My uncle ordered wm 10 and I got to watch the whole thing. It's my favorite WWE ppv. That and royal rumble 95, and 96.
Bret when I was growing up was such a huge role model to the kids. Man it sucked when he was forced to retire. But then again, Bret in WCW was a waste of time and money. I still wonder everyday if Bret never went to WCW where would his career be and what would he have done. Just imagine all the hbk vs hart matches we could have gotten.
Survivor Series ''94 would have been a great time to put the belt on Owen. Then have him drop it to Diesel a few days later. Would have made perfect sense. Owen would have been great at it.
When Brett stops sulking over things that bother him, he comes off so much different, much more enjoyable. U can tell he kinda gets lost in the memories.
Loved it..
I always had a different answer than everyone else. Owen was my favorite wrestler, it wasn't Brett (he was really great though). I was always rooting for Owen vs Brett in all their matches. Keeping it real neither invented the sharpshooter, but Owen used it way before Brett ever did in New Japan and NWA and they treated him like a Blue Blazing clown, when he could do everything Brett could do and was faster and one of the best high fliers too.
Owen is my favorite wrestler of all times ❤❤
'97 Hart is the greatest of all time.
I can listen to hart all day …he’s a great story teller and he shows emotion and love and compassion in his descriptions ….plus he’s a cool dude like a Clint Eastwood playing Dirty Harry
Him and Owen Worked cause Owen was an Amazing Heel and Bret was the Ultimate Baby Face
I read his autobiography. He's a good story teller.
Owen was so talented.
I think his sentiment about Bob Backlund really shows the difference between Bret and other wrestlers, especially at the time
That level of maturity to look at the situation like that, and understand paying respect to an older wrestler who had been generous to him, is something I feel like requires a level of thoughtfulness that was certainly absent among Bret's peers at the time, but is even lacking in today's generation as well (Jungle Boy, Hangman, etc.)
I think that is what really sets Bret apart
Don't forget that Goldberg kicked Bret in the head as hard as he could and ended his career!
Bret is a total legend ❤❤
Bret hart best story teller of all time
Sorry, Bret to this day what you went through. Even though I am an American I always liked you. I know you did that heel in America and face any where else. I thought that was Brilliant and never done before.
Ik an extremely casual fan if wrestling, Literally never watch it anymore but something about bret hart shots are fascinating
