      If you were a bad wrestler, Bret made you look good. If you were a good wrestler, he made you look great. If you were truly a great then he only further put a shine on you. Even losing a match to Bret typically made you look better than winning against a lot of other people could. He was also typically pretty humble in victory and frequently would recognize the greatness and efforts of another wrestler while they were in the ring by raising their arm instead and getting the crowd to rally behind their efforts. I think the match between Bret Hart and the 1-2-3 Kid is a perfect example of this. Obviously virtually everyone knows the kid can wrestle, so the match was fantastic because it isn't everyday that you have two incredible talents of that nature in the ring together. Bret was champion and he dominated the match, destroying the Kid, but no matter what, the Kid had spirit and kept going beyond what seemed reasonable. So while the Kid may have not walked away with the belt, or having won the match, he definitely walked away a champion in the eyes of the fans. It helped him, and so many others, get better noticed by the people behind the scenes and those watching the ring.
      What was the guys name, Tom MaGee I believe but I am lazy and will check later, but he was the guy that at one point Vince was going to push as the next Hulk Hogan because he had the look - big muscular, blonde hair, just very much a Vince build, and he had a great first match. So Vince wanted to strap a rocket to his ass and make him champion, but basically immediately every other match he had was trash. So they looked back to what made the first match look so good, what made him look good enough to see dollar signs and then it was realized that his first match was against Bret, who made the completely unskilled guy look good enough to be believed as a capable wrestler.

      Absolutely. He is on my Mount Rushmore of favourite wrestlers and as I got older, I only appreciated his work more with each passing year. I go back and I watch, and he just was so clean with his work in the ring. He was great at making things look like it connected, but had great self-control and a sense of time and space, able to stop before connecting but damn his punches and kicks looked nice.
      What really makes the fact that a kick to the head by Goldberg ending his career, is seeing how many wrestlers, with the way that medicine and everything would change over the years giving longevity and sometimes the best years of wrestlers lives when they're older... and considering that Bret was arguably at his peak, it isn't difficult to believe that he still may have not yet truly hit his peak, and even if he did, he likely still had a lot of years in the tank still.

    Even Kevin Nash said it here. Bret was their guy and Hogan WRONGFULLY wouldn't put him over which hurt their business. That's NASH saying that about Hogan which says it all about the Hogan/Bret situation. It all makes sense when hearing Bret on that situation.
    Bret's "run" started when the WWE curve was already going down into the gutter. During his run, the curve started to level off. Towards the end of his run (arguably his best years), the curve was going up. Sgt Slaughter went and told Bret backstage that he saved Wrestling - and I fully agree. After Hogan left and wasn't dependable anymore, Bret WAS THE GUY and led the new generation and keeping WWE in the game for them to flourish in the next few years after.
    Some people don't realise how much of THE GUY Bret really was and how over he was around the World.

They soon backtracked and you saw the truth at WM10. Either way, Bret and Hogan are two different generation of Wrestler - it was more to do with respect to Bret. That's why he dislikes Hogan.

    @christhornycroft3686 Місяць тому +1

    It isn't just top guys like Nash who say Bret Hart was great to work with. It's the jobbers too. Steve Lombardi, the Brooklyn Brawler, is arguably the most famous jobber in wrestling and he loved worked with Bret. Bret didn't want to have "jobber matches." He was business minded, not just thinking about himself. By 1994, he was probably going over in a match, unless it was a big main event against another top guy, so he would go out of his way to have competitive matches with guys. He put Sean Waltman on the map. Every guy who worked with Bret Hart came out a better wrestler. He hounded Vince McMahon until he finally brought in Steve Austin and wanted to work with him. Stone Cold became a made man after Wrestlemania 13, even in defeat. When Diesel lost the Title to Bret, it instantly made him a more valuable asset to WCW. He turned heel, cut a worked shoot promo and that's probably what earned him the big money with Bischoff. Bret had the ability to either be heelish or babyface to get guys over. His full face turn made Steve Austin a star, and he helped Kevin become the cool bad guy that we saw in the NWO.

    I never understood why Diesel didn't have a match at WrestleMania X. He had this huge push at the 1994 Royal Rumble, where he eliminated 7 guys in a short period of time. Then after the WrestleMania X, they made him the IC champ and had him beat the WWF Champion Bret Hart at the KOTR. So why have him do pretty much nothing at WrestleMania X?

But fast forward 10-15 years later and now I can catch some of his best matches on Utube and you realize, holy cow, this guy was amazing! Good on the stick, great look the pink and black attack, one of the hottest factions in wrestling history with the hart foundation, and then you look at the work and it’s like why wasn’t this guy even bigger? And WCW COMPLETELY screwed the pooch on Bret Hart, for crying out loud the guy was the hottest thing in wrestling after the screw job, they could’ve completely taken that and shoved it up Vince’s ass. The guy was so good, and the angle was built in after the screw job, man WCW really missed the boat on that one

      @Mr.Septon Місяць тому

      Ouch, how dare you force me to cut apart a section of my Mount Rushmore (Undertaker and Stone Cold are the other two). So the way I would say it is that Bret was a better technical wrestler than Shawn, who was still very talented but more flashy (which would go on to shape many future wrestlers style as well) but in terms of who is the most well--rounded, I would say that falls on the Heartbreak Kid. I would say that he was a better promo, and was a lot more of a major heat magnet which made him such an amazing and natural heel but was so talented and skilled that it was also tough to not see him as a baby face. Bret was the better technical wrestler, his promo wasn't as good, although I think his promo style is under-rated as it suited his methodical hitman style of wrestling, and I don't think that he naturally fit into the heel role half as well as a face, nor as well as Michael's. Plus, just by very nature of international fans, even when Michael's or Austin was a face, when they went to Canada or the United Kingdom, it was Bret Hart that the fans were cheering on and so wrestlers often then found themselves uniquely as heels whenever they crossed the border. I would argue Bret was a great locker room leader, which young Shawn was the antithesis to, however, an older more humbled Shawn would go on to become a great trainer and someone in the locker room that was often a great guide for those dedicated and looking to improve. So I'd say that they kind of break even on that one.

    Most of Nash's best matches in the WWF were with Bret.
    Flair said Bret was overrated. He's entitled to his opinion, and personally, I have the unpopular opinion that Flair is overrated. I enjoyed some Ric Flair matches (e.g. Macho Man at Mania VIII, the '92 Rumble, and Bret in Saskatoon), but generally speaking, eh. He's just not my thing.
    Bret and Flair had a long-standing tiff dating back to when Flair was in the WWF in the early 90s, and so I take that for what it is: two guys squabbling.
    Hogan never had anything to do with Bret in the WWF. Bret had the issue with Hulk over the Mania IX deal, but that could have also been a Vince McMahon orchestration that Bret took to heart. By the time Bret would work with Hogan, it was in WCW, and politics had more to play with that issue than any actual attitude problems on Bret's part in addition to those lingering bad feelings from Bret. I'd believe Hulk before I believe Flair.
    Even Shawn, at his worst, said Bret was great to work with. That's my measuring stick. If THAT guy, of all people, couldn't say Bret was hard to work with (personal differences aside), then you're really going to have to show your work if you say otherwise.

      The top baby face always has to be someone who can resonate with the "American dream" no pun intended. The only exception to that ever was bret imo because his incredible in ring skills and family history was enough to bypass that typical baby face standard that most people could connect to.

    • @Mr.Septon
      @Mr.Septon Місяць тому

      @@user-zz8dt8tk2t not only that but Bret's personality and work ethic were of a person who took what they did very seriously, giving everything he did his absolute best. I think that was something that was also easy to resonate with the American audience as it still fit neatly into the typical American Dream concept of the hardworking dad and family man. Bret was also a huge fan favourite with kids, which helped too, especially at the point where they were trying to better reach that audience.
      So I do agree that the only real top babyface of the promotion that was ever not that image of the American Dream was Bret Hart, and it was incredibly circumstantial where it was the right time and place. It would be incredibly difficult, especially in this era, for the top babyface to not ooze that American Dream vibe. I do think that we are getting closer to such times as WWE is continually becoming more global, which will really hit hard in 2025 when Raw and their major events like Royal Rumble and WrestleMania being streamed to hundreds of millions of viewers around the globe but even then, the United States of America is the homebase of WWE and the centre of their product, even if the rest of the globe ends up significantly outsizing the American viewership. So it will likely be a while before company and industry culture can shift that much.

      Not true whatsoever. He executed many different moves.

He also did elbow drops, backbreakers, chokeslam, back suplex, leap frogs, flying shoulder tackles, etc. etc. etc. So basically you're wrong. Regardless pro wrestling isn't about moves its about telling a story and emotion and getting fans to cheer the loudest the longest.
