    The reason so many couldn't understand Bret back then was because he possessed 2 things rarely seen in the industry: loyalty & true integrity - living up to your word. Bret never would've gone against Vince simply because he was the guy that gave him his first real shot in the business.

  • @fuzzluvver69
    @fuzzluvver69 11 месяцев назад +9

    This isn't even a complicated or debatable issues. The answer is no. Bret should not have been paid more than Hogan. Wrestlers are paid according to the amount of eyes they got on the product and butts on seats in the arenas, NOT based on how good of a technical wrestler they are in the fictional storyline of professional wrestling. The absolute reality is that whether Bret or any of his fans like it or not, it is a factual reality that Hogan attracted more viewers and paying customers than Bret did, for the entirety of his career. The ONLY people that will argue against this are total marks, whose opinions are worthless anyway.

Now he says it had nothing to do with losing in Canada, when that's all he talked about on Canadian TV in 1997, basically saying any other wrestler in any other city he'd do the job.

      Also, let's put it out there which is hard as I grew up a Bret fan as a kid, but uncomfortable facts are uncomfortable facts.
      1: Bret Hart was a habitual drug abuser who repeatedly cheated on his wife and would leave his wife and kids home alone on his days off from the WWF to go screw random women and do drugs in hotel rooms.
      2: Bret stood by as his brother in law Davey Smith would give his sister Diana date r*pe drugs and s*xually assault her while she was passed out.
      THIS is the bastion of morality the smarks want to hitch their wagons to? A lowlife junkie, no better than Jake Roberts and as big of a liar as Roberts? Hey, at least Jake fully owned up to his issues and got beyond them. Bret still sits on his glass throne in his glass house casting stones at everyone else he ever worked with.

    Hulk Hogan did everything he could to avoid a match with Bret Hart in WWE and WCW. A fun fact that the main event for Summerslam 1993 was supposed to be Bret Hart vs Hulk Hogan and Bret would regain the WWE title. Hulk Hogan beat Yokozuna at Wrestlemania 9 and Bret Hart would win the king of the ring and then the match between them would happen. Hogan found out about the plan and backed out of facing Bret Hart. He dropped the belt back to Yokozuna and then left the company. Years later WCW teased a feud between them just to have Bret Hart turn heel and join the NWO which made no sense. Hulk Hogan kept refusing to face Bret Hart.
    And if you need further proof of Hogan playing games and being selfish we must never forget WCW bash at the beach 2000.

    Bret was GREAT in the ring but let’s get real. If you didn’t lived through when Hogan left you don’t know. Wrestlemania was demoted to the Anaheim pond for Christ sakes. The reason Bret & Shawn was champions was because there was no one else. It’s different to move up & become champ because of gaining popularity. Being the champ because all the top dogs left and they needed…. Someone is different. Hitman was champ when WWF almost was out of business. Gained popularity when he left.

Japan loved Hogan, the majority of American fans loved Hogan, and until the kids who never watched him grew up and started third party whining on behalf of their favorite envious 80's and 90's wrestlers, there was no "Real fans like Bret better" BS mentality. If "real" wrestling fans liked Bret better there must not have been any real fans in professional wrestling the entire time Bret was active, because he was never a 1A star at any point in his career.
