Bret Hart is a Real Supporter of The Rock especially when he said "I tell him do whatever that makes him happy you should not be a slave to the Company "
Bret Hart is my hero and I have met him on many occasions and he is a very sweet and caring guy I'm glad that he is doing well and getting stronger We love you Bret God bless you and your beautiful family
Show some respect here Steven Perez I have met Bret Hart and he is no Arsehole I take it that you are a YANK from america the country where they shoot each other and have no gun control and a country where they don't take care of the sick and the old Canada is a much better country than America Canadian's have respect Canada is a country where nobody gets shot down by crazy gunmen and it's a country that cares and believes in family values America doesn't belie in family values no it's a country where families fight and is high on teen pregnancies as well as gun crime
I got to meet Bret at an autograph signing in New Jersey in 2014. It was the day after I suffered a TIA at my job. He said “Thanks for coming to see me” signed a picture and took a picture with me and my belt. Good guy.
It took a long time for Brett's book to come out after this, but it is one of the best wrestler autobiographies out there. Tons of history there, family drama, funny stories, etc. Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling
It's really good to I actually listen to the audio version. He was right it's different than anyone else's. Because he tells his life from kid, teenager, adult. And just hearing and reading thing's you didn't know about the him the family and the business.
He praised and backed the Rocky from day one. In 1997 Rocky was getting his IC title push and so forth, both Shawn and Hunter were trying to keep him back and tried using Bret to take the belt away from him. Among other things, obviously. But point is he knew those two were trying to bring that guy down and he wasn't letting it happen.
@@CometVS Crazy thing is this is basically like year 1 or year 2 of Rock transitioning away from wrestling and into Hollywood/show business wild to think at the time NO ONE knew how big of a star he was going to be in Hollywood...and thinking about the really nice things Bret was saying about him back in 2003
Bret Hart will always be one of my favorite wrestlers. Not only for his awesome ability in the ring but he is a man with so much integrity. A genuine, honest, sincere person who has so much strength not only on the outside but on the inside as well!
Bret Hart blamed his wife at home looking after their kids alone on why he was screwing the shit out of the rings rats in every place he went. Read his Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling autobiography and you'll read about someone with little integrity, if any at all, someone who was dishonest, insincere and about a non-genuine as can be. Did oyu know he drugged owen hart's drink and laughed his arse off when Owen reacted badly to it? Everything that didn't go the way Bret Hart wanted it was everyone else's fault. Bret Hart screwed Bret "The Hitman" Hart out of an amicable leaving and that's ALL that was the Montreal Screwjob. Now he moans and bitches about it when it was entirely his fault it had to be played out the way it was. By the way nobody was screwed out of anything other than a CHARACTER who resided in the fantasy writings of the WWF
I had a stroke this year Feb 2016 I can relate fully with Bret he is a survivor and had a simular recovery as me He is a real inspiration and he was right nothing really matters and the physios and hospital staff are everything when u are there
What an amazing legend, I know that this interview is a bit old now; but listening to the king of wrestling is always a great experience, even when he talks about the sad stuff
@@JoshLavian I agree there that's where he loses my respect, I did read his book. For someone who claims to be so moral, it is a bit of a contradiction
Bret aged fast after this. I mean when he made a return in 09 or 08, he looks so rough and aged 15 years. But I always loved listening to his voice and interviews
I like Bret as a wrestler, but I also am aware enough that hes not perfect either as most on here seem to think he is. The one thing I will always admire about him is that when he had an issue with someone in the WWE, NO MATTER WHO, he wasnt scared and went up to that person and said what he felt, as a man. A tough man.
I don't think his biggest fans want to portray him as perfect, but just as definitely having more integrity than Vince or Shawn since a lot of Shawn apologists in particular try to attack Bret's character in order to put him at the same level of culpability for the Montreal screwjob (because these days when somebody does something wrong, instead of owning up to it, the preferred deflection is to suggest that the other side is just as bad). I've always thought Bret's side of the story was more believable but it's also obvious that he had little choice but to go back and work out a deal because of the power imbalance and not wanting his entire WWF career to be erased. And so because of Shawn's own popularity and Vince's position at the top he had little choice but to go along with the vague pretense that nothing truly devious was done to him (because he deserved it somehow), that everyone involved shared responsibility (and therefore no one was responsible), and so the hatchet is buried and everything is peachy.
Yes, many of his moves are iconic, but he also used almost the same moves every match. Figure 4 on the turn buckle, the running bulldog Slam to the ground, the side step Slam when he stands beside opponent, elbow drop from turnbuckle. What he was awesome in (IMO obviously) was finishing matches and making all of his opponents look soo good eventhough they were soo shit in other matches. Bret and Owen were soo good at this.
Bret Hart tells it from his heart. For instance, saying Hogan "was a bad actor", well he is right on that. Vince McMahon said one thing to Hulk Hogan that I'll never forget. He told Hogan that he was only good at playing the part of "Hulk Hogan" and nothing else!
Man who gives a fuck. Hulk Hogan made a lot of money 🤑 and helped a lot of wrestlers get money 💰 man. If he sucked at movie 🎥 so what. He made money 💰 and made wrestling what it is man. Hulk got alot of wrestlers paid.
This same damn thing happened to me. For several months, I thought my life had utterly changed. No pain, just couldn't move. Then, one day, movement and muscles started to wake up, and slowly, methodically, things started to change. I could feel a bit, move a little, and eventually talk and walk again. to Bret Hart and anyone that goes through something like this. It's crazy to look back on my life now and think at one point I couldn't even walk to the bathroom and s**t on my own. Everyone things they are immortal until this happens. And it could honestly happen to anyone.
"I always thought of Hunter as a real ass kiss. He had his nose so far up Vince's ass & Sean's (Michaels)" - Brett Hart Is that why Triple H's nose is so big? LOL
@Bill Blass wm9 and wcw days Hogan took the title from him at wm9 and Hogan basically screwed him from day one coming into wcw saying Bret is too small
Brings back memories from the late 80's and 90's for me. Was a kid to loved pro wrestling as much as the next. I rarely ever watch it these days but that comes with age and priorities taking over, etc. But yeah.. Bret Hart was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time and even as a kid you could see the technical aspect he brought that very very few every did or have since then. There are wrestlers out there that are technical but that list isn't very long.
FirebrandOP To be fair, Bret would've been better off had he have taken a break. Even after Goldberg hit him in the head, WCW still had him wrestle until he couldn't anymore.
I always feel like this host is the type to interrupt you every chance he gets,you know?I see why some/most are bothered by him.Like he's always talking over you,right?
To me bret is too real for people, they ask him, "do you like me?" And he says "no, your a jerk" and then they hate him for being honest smh. I have always admired bret's honest feeling and talented wrestling and being a hero to kids etc. The man is a legend 😎👌♥️🔥👏
@@trafficosrs What does he always cry about? Owen's death? The deaths of many of his friends? The Screwjob? The concussion? His stroke? He answers the questions asked but take a moment to sit back and think about it. If you were constantly asked about the worst moments in your life over and over again in almost every interview, would you answer them with a smile or would you be a bit bitter too?
I'm just glad that he is doing so much better these days. He has gone through so many tragedies and losses. Everyone focuses on Montreal but....there was so much more. But he made it. Even made peace with so many later. Let's focus on that. I loved him in the ring and respect him a great deal. I hope he continues to do well and that he will find some peace and closure.
I agree with that he wasn't massive like warrior or hogan but 230 he was a muscular guy regular people like us saw him he'd look impressive back when bret first came in 84 to 88 when he was using a lot of steroids you can see the difference in size compared to after 1990.
Greatest wrestler of all time. Flawless psychology, peerless match-building and the best seller there ever was (fuck Shawn -- flopping around like a fish isn't selling, taking a realistic hit and carrying it off until the end of the match is selling). Bret made every match worth watching -- it didn't matter if he was at the top of the card (just look at Bret vs Piper at WM 8). Bret always had the best matches -- and he never had the same match twice. He'd put both himself and the other guy over every time. Nobody came out of a match with Bret looking weak unless he was booked into a corner. Just look at SS 97: Undertaker lost, but he hit some big spots, broke the Sharpshooter AND kicked out of a massive chair shot; even then, after he lost to another chair shot, he still got up and followed HBK to the back. He was a top five technical wrestler, the number one psychologist/match-builder of all-time, looked a million bucks for his size, killed it on the mic in 97 and was one of the most principled, honest guys behind the scenes. Taken overall, he's the best there ever was. Hogan looked better, The Rock talked better, but nobody wrestled better than Bret, and nobody was as good across the board as he was. The business declined during his era and, yes, he wasn't a MASSIVE draw, but he drew well, and in a different era he might have been equal to a Cena while delivering superb matches. The WWE fucked him hard, but he still had it in him to forgive them and come back, and I'm glad they've preserved his legacy. Still love his shoots on HBK and HHH. Even after reconciliation, the man isn't afraid to speak his mind .... "4/10"
Man listen you can love Brett but you’re delusional if you think he’s far and away the best. I’d take Chris Jericho Eddie Guerrero Kurt Angle or HBK over him all just as good if not better in ring and miles better on the mic. Let’s not get caught up in the moment because he’s the one talking.
@@fmgmack Fair enough man. Those are all phenomenal wrestlers and I wouldn't knock anyone for putting them above Bret. Personally he's my favourite. I think he was the best at constructing a match and telling a memorable story in the ring.
Great to hear this interview with Bret, wish that idiot host would just stop cutting Bret off, I'm trying to listen to the legend speak. Bret will always be the best in my view.
well, this was the bret hart of 10 years ago, I think he's definitely had a change of heart especially after watching that wwe documentary on bret hart vs shawn michaels, greatest rivalry
@18:20 Actually you were wrong @MichaelLansberg, there is a family that can other then the Hart's talk so much about the positive and negativeness of wrestling, That would be the Von Erich's family.
My best friend Andrew-Who I got interested into wrestling about 4-5 yrs ago said to me-All the matches I've ever seen of Bret "The Hitman" Hart all I can say is he is phenomenal! I said He isn't the best there is, the best there was, & the best there ever will be for nothing? Then he said to me "I wish I could have seen more of his matches but I'm gonna watch anyone someone will place in front of me."
Everyone calm down a bit. We're not Bret Hart or Vince McMahon, just spectators and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, seeing Bret's side - he was totally loyal, give him that credit. A huge asset to the WWF and was a devoted soldier. He earned his keep and pride. Now Vince saw from his perspective that he couldn't keep Bret for more reasons than Bret could see. The decision to "screw" Bret came with ultimatums. That 1: He couldn't walk into WCW as WWF champ (which Bret expresses he would never do.) 2: That if they pull off the Montreal screw job it would be a great piece for the storyline and the introduction of Mr. McMahon the character (further blustering the WWF) 3: That Vince would keep his integrity that if he says it has to happen then it has to happen. Now how Bret conducts himself after is a very emotional standpoint. He is hurt, he has every right to be. Vince made his decision, it's his company after all and ahs every right to do so. Now who is "right" or "at fault" for things happening the way they did - pure speculation from our standpoint as fans.
bret is right about the pic of the tug of war with the belt I remember on superstars or wrestling challenge on sky one at the time they advertised the wrestling magazine with that shot of the tug of war of the belt between bret and hulk but when the mag came out it was just an article of how they think bret would beat hulk because hulk went to Japan worked on the same card as sting and trashed the wwf belt compared to the Japan belt he was already planing his way out.
This is why I love Bret. He knows Landsberg is a shit bag, and can see straight through his compliments and ass kissing. Wouldn't give him an inch and didn't fall for any of it. Best of the best in and out of the ring
Watching wrestling as a kid I always thought it was a bit cartoonist but then I came across one of the greatest matches I've ever seen....Brett Hart versus Mr. Perfect. Poetry and motion. Thats when i realized the best wrestlers werent the tallest and didnt have the biggest muscles. They were athletic, technical, and crafty.
I wonder if these ppl bashin bret realize this interview was over a decade ago and that if they know anything theyd know that bret, vince, shawn, etc has been buried and hes over it
WHATISUTUBE I actually got to go on a trip to Canada last year and had the honor of trying The Keg. Decent prices, and when you ask for a rare steak, you get it rare. Fuckin' thing was still mooing. The servers were nice, but I can't say as I felt like they were my best friends, so I'll call bullshit on that part of their ad. No complaints otherwise.
i think it was probably a culmination of all the stress from the screwjob and Owen's death as well as the concussions and the fall from his bike that caused it... which means that even if Bret hadn't fallen off his bike he would still have had the stroke because he was carrying so much baggage
Possibly... A lot of people fall from bikes and nothing happens. But the concussion he suffered in the match with Goldberg may have still played a big part physically.

Flawless psychology, peerless match-building and the best seller there ever was (fuck Shawn -- flopping around like a fish isn't selling, taking a realistic hit and carrying it off until the end of the match is selling). Bret made every match worth watching -- it didn't matter if he was at the top of the card (just look at Bret vs Piper at WM 8).
Bret always had the best matches -- and he never had the same match twice. He'd put both himself and the other guy over every time. Nobody came out of a match with Bret looking weak unless he was booked into a corner. Just look at SS 97: Undertaker lost, but he hit some big spots, broke the Sharpshooter AND kicked out of a massive chair shot; even then, after he lost to another chair shot, he still got up and followed HBK to the back.
He was a top five technical wrestler, the number one psychologist/match-builder of all-time, looked a million bucks for his size, killed it on the mic in 97 and was one of the most principled, honest guys behind the scenes.
Taken overall, he's the best there ever was. Hogan looked better, The Rock talked better, but nobody wrestled better than Bret, and nobody was as good across the board as he was. The business declined during his era and, yes, he wasn't a MASSIVE draw, but he drew well, and in a different era he might have been equal to a Cena while delivering superb matches.
The WWE fucked him hard, but he still had it in him to forgive them and come back, and I'm glad they've preserved his legacy.
Still love his shoots on HBK and HHH. Even after reconciliation, the man isn't afraid to speak his mind .... "4/10"
Agreed. Well said.
Love how real he is
Shawn's flopping for Hogan was classic and justified
Man listen you can love Brett but you’re delusional if you think he’s far and away the best. I’d take Chris Jericho Eddie Guerrero Kurt Angle or HBK over him all just as good if not better in ring and miles better on the mic. Let’s not get caught up in the moment because he’s the one talking.
@@fmgmack Fair enough man. Those are all phenomenal wrestlers and I wouldn't knock anyone for putting them above Bret. Personally he's my favourite. I think he was the best at constructing a match and telling a memorable story in the ring.
Great to hear this interview with Bret, wish that idiot host would just stop cutting Bret off, I'm trying to listen to the legend speak. Bret will always be the best in my view.
Love Bret truly the greatest of all time he gave everything for us fans and the business
It's funny now, that he said he would never wrestle again, and that if he did it would be Vince. Seven years latter
Bret hart will always be the best there is best there was and the best there ever will be
well, this was the bret hart of 10 years ago, I think he's definitely had a change of heart especially after watching that wwe documentary on bret hart vs shawn michaels, greatest rivalry
This is great 🙌🏼
bret hart is truly an inspiration.
Man he had to be tough to fight through that stroke
Brett is an awesome person. The people talking shit about him (and there are many), it reflects badly on them and not him. He's too honest for them.
There are few people (alive on this planet) that I respect more than Bret Hart
@18:20 Actually you were wrong @MichaelLansberg, there is a family that can other then the Hart's talk so much about the positive and negativeness of wrestling, That would be the Von Erich's family.
BRET HART VS KURT ANGEL I WANT THIS !!!!!!!!
Who's Kurt "Angel"?
Tag Team Match in 2003. Stone Cold & Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon and Eric Bishoff
I start watching wrestling because of this man and not about hulk macho snake this man was the real thing and he was the one
I have a lot of Respect for Bret hitman Hart
and 7 years later, he did make peace with shawn
My best friend Andrew-Who I got interested into wrestling about 4-5 yrs ago said to me-All the matches I've ever seen of Bret "The Hitman" Hart all I can say is he is phenomenal! I said He isn't the best there is, the best there was, & the best there ever will be for nothing? Then he said to me "I wish I could have seen more of his matches but I'm gonna watch anyone someone will place in front of me."
Everyone calm down a bit. We're not Bret Hart or Vince McMahon, just spectators and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, seeing Bret's side - he was totally loyal, give him that credit. A huge asset to the WWF and was a devoted soldier. He earned his keep and pride. Now Vince saw from his perspective that he couldn't keep Bret for more reasons than Bret could see. The decision to "screw" Bret came with ultimatums. That 1: He couldn't walk into WCW as WWF champ (which Bret expresses he would never do.) 2: That if they pull off the Montreal screw job it would be a great piece for the storyline and the introduction of Mr. McMahon the character (further blustering the WWF) 3: That Vince would keep his integrity that if he says it has to happen then it has to happen. Now how Bret conducts himself after is a very emotional standpoint. He is hurt, he has every right to be. Vince made his decision, it's his company after all and ahs every right to do so. Now who is "right" or "at fault" for things happening the way they did - pure speculation from our standpoint as fans.
Wow, this was 10 years ago now.
Now 30 years time goes very fast
Hogan is a bad actor and a selfish lout who refused to put people over.
He won an Oscar and always helped Young talent break through lol
I agree
What? You obviously have not seen 'Santa With Muscles' freakin magic bro.
Bryan Manning - he's a POS.
Brets jelous cause hogan actually drew money
Yay I'm Canadian!!!
"Glad to be here."
"No one is happier to be here than me."
"My pleasure."
bret is right about the pic of the tug of war with the belt I remember on superstars or wrestling challenge on sky one at the time they advertised the wrestling magazine with that shot of the tug of war of the belt between bret and hulk but when the mag came out it was just an article of how they think bret would beat hulk because hulk went to Japan worked on the same card as sting and trashed the wwf belt compared to the Japan belt he was already planing his way out.
andy marfo i remember him calling the iwgp title the creme of of the crop.. He wrestled muta
This is why I love Bret. He knows Landsberg is a shit bag, and can see straight through his compliments and ass kissing. Wouldn't give him an inch and didn't fall for any of it. Best of the best in and out of the ring
Watching wrestling as a kid I always thought it was a bit cartoonist but then I came across one of the greatest matches I've ever seen....Brett Hart versus Mr. Perfect. Poetry and motion. Thats when i realized the best wrestlers werent the tallest and didnt have the biggest muscles. They were athletic, technical, and crafty.
18:16 the host says "There's not a family who can talk about the good and bad of wrestling like you guys". Try the Von Erichs. 4 deaths, 3 by suicide.
I wonder if these ppl bashin bret realize this interview was over a decade ago and that if they know anything theyd know that bret, vince, shawn, etc has been buried and hes over it
In all fairness, Shawn did grow up after he found God
I thought so too; Initially i assumed his voice got better, but at the beginning they said it was his first interview since the stroke.
was the set in the boiler room of TSN Studios?
Best there is, Best there was and the Best there ever will be!
7:28 30lbs arm????? That's an arm the size of tugboats or vaders arm
He is just giving an expression that he is larger and thicker built than the average man, you little sensitive nitpick idiot
"Your hair is a little short." ☺☺☺☺
For great steaks, good friends - see you tonight!
WHATISUTUBE I actually got to go on a trip to Canada last year and had the honor of trying The Keg. Decent prices, and when you ask for a rare steak, you get it rare. Fuckin' thing was still mooing. The servers were nice, but I can't say as I felt like they were my best friends, so I'll call bullshit on that part of their ad. No complaints otherwise.
the keg gave me the shits
I watch all these just to hear about the keg.different times then.
Always a fan of Bret Hart..in and out of the ring
i think it was probably a culmination of all the stress from the screwjob and Owen's death as well as the concussions and the fall from his bike that caused it... which means that even if Bret hadn't fallen off his bike he would still have had the stroke because he was carrying so much baggage
Possibly... A lot of people fall from bikes and nothing happens. But the concussion he suffered in the match with Goldberg may have still played a big part physically.
Heart problems run in their family.
Is it me or is the interviewer extremely rude?
+steve walker He's extremely nice in this interview. He's usually far worse.
yea dudes a dick
Yeah he is always pushy like this. He is even worse on most others. I find him quite annoying.
The Canadian Jim Rome ; a d-bag
It's not just you. Watch the Off The Record interview with CM Punk.
Summary:
1. Bret whines about Montreal.
2. Bret whines about Owen.
3. Bret whines about Goldberg.
You're welcome.
So on point with HHH
