The fact is Bret didn’t need to cut “promos” as a face because he was the excellence of execution, he backed it up in the ring. But as a heel, Bret hit the mark with his promos.
You know Bret hart was a bad guy before when he was in tag teams the Jim night hart . Back in the 80,s in my opinion he will be a very great bad guy if he put his mind in to it even more. And stop worrying about the fan’s think . He’s making lots of money 💴 there not .
This right here was the raw and primordial DNA that birthed the Attitude Era. This contorted chemistry between Hart and Austin - where the former became a jaded hero turned villain of the American masses while the latter became the reluctant anti-hero. It was no longer a vanilla layout of good versus bad but grey versus grey.
@MattC Croshaw LOL, I remember when he was asked in an angle that year, Hey Bret how did you get a title shot?" He said I guess I cried enough for it! Wonder if that was a work or shoot.
@UCGrO-kSKzJ8VBijoyv4vqEw i just wanna know weather what bret hart said is true or false in your opinion, english is not my first language therefore i did not really get what u mean by the comedic part.

@@laoch5658 no it was a slow justified heel turn which really started after the Royal Rumble where he got screwed. Brilliant storytelling he was turning heel way before mania but it was official in mania.
BRET is so underrated on his promos, even as a Babyface he had 🔥 & was genuine.. It's a losT arT in today's "sports entertainer's and presentation, GENUINESS & 🔥..
Bret did amazing as a heel even though he hated the idea of being a heel and putting down Americans. Just goes to show how great of a job Bret does even if it’s something he doesn’t wanna do.
People frame it as heel vs face but that dynamic often broken down when bret is involved, going back to the 80s. Bret vs. stone cold at WM13 was a badass vs a rage fueled maniac.
@@stephonwilliams5232 he was boring and was alloted way too much time. felt like regardless of how boring he was he had Brown nosed his way into doing no wrong and constantly got pushed at expense of everyone else
I always think that Bret is someone who should have worked out his lines for his promos then rehearsed them like an actor. What he said and how he said it was usually believable but he always had a few stammers and stutters in his promos. A promo like this, if refined a little and delivered without any stammering would rival a Stone Cold promo.
@@jpalvarez4972 CM Punk is only considered a great power because of the complete lack of talent and lack of anything going in the company. Wrestling today fucking sucks
@@vikdaddy yeah.....I'm pointing that out to you....that's how it originally was. His entire character was just a spinoff of Jeff Jarrett. Down to the fact that 'James' was originally 'Jammes' ....they changed it to 'Jesse James' after Jarrett left for WCW
If you were watching back then it was also very obvious that his hair was fake extensions, his braids used to go from short to very long in a matter of a week.
@@jpalvarez4972 I really don't. He's one of the best in-ring technicians ever. That doesn't make this promo anything other than comically inept. He looks embarrassed himself at points.

Bret Hart was a master at interviews he actually made the angles seem so real and intense made u believe the angles were so personal miss that.
4:02 he almost broke character lol
5:44 lmao he did at the end lmao I’m dead
This promo is almost shoot though lol
It was real to Bret
That's a real promo.
I thought Hitman didn’t have mic skills? Dude is a true wrestler from a wrestling family and could do this stuff in his sleep

Bret "the attitude era starter" Hart
Best there is was and ever will be.. he is excellent on mic
One of Bret Hart’s best promos
Steve Austin is face down in an alley with a bottle of 20/20...Hitman had his own style of comedy lol
this was when Bret was at his best on promos.
@MattC Croshaw LOL, I remember when he was asked in an angle that year, Hey Bret how did you get a title shot?" He said I guess I cried enough for it! Wonder if that was a work or shoot.
"I go to South Africa, I go to Kuwait, where they know the difference between right and wrong." The comedic heel genius of that line.
Underrated comment.
what's comedic about it?

Bret the Bretman Bret. He was unreal in 97 shame things went the way they went.
This era Bret is the best Bret
Bret was better as a heel because he believed what he was saying as a heel.
bret was a baby face going into this match

Hitman. The GOAT
Hitman was the best Babyface and Heel in '97.
Canada worshiped him
One of Bret’s better promos.
really good promo.looks so real
Bret Hart on 🔥.
He wore sunglasses for his promos because he felt more secure and found it easier to talk on the mic if nobody could see his eyes.
Agree...and so me....i feel comfortable as well if nobody lookin me in the eyes that's why i prefer to wear glasses as well when i talk to someone...
And haters say Bret could cut a promo
as long as he had guidance and something to talk about he was gold, if he didn't...... well just watch any of his wcw promos
@@andrewvaughan5686 That's any promo
almost fucked it at the end there.... what a promo though. you know its from the heart
His shout out to the Rock was deliberate. Dude saw the Rocks potential.
Bret did amazing as a heel even though he hated the idea of being a heel and putting down Americans.
Just goes to show how great of a job Bret does even if it’s something he doesn’t wanna do.
And people thought Hart’s promos were a weakness.
This is such an amazing promo!!

He owes Vince a microphone bc he melted this one
I've said it before: It's a dang shame Bret didn't spend more time as a heel in all the years that he was wrestling in main events. He had it.
def much better than triple h's boring monologs for the last 25 years
False paul from 1996 to about 2009 was above average on the mic

1997 was Bret's best work!
I wonder if EL Dandy saw this?
Of course he did! Who are you to doubt El Dandy?
@@FistyClown 😂😂😂
Of course he did, he's a jam up guy
Absolutely he did…El Dandy is A High Flyer Of The Highest Magnitude,A Great Wrestler…and A Serious Professional!… and He Deserves A Title Shot!
Pissed off Bret is The best Bret
Bret was awesome.
That arena was 25 years ahead of it’s time.. it looks like covid hit in the 90s
This was filmed the morning of the ppv. The arena was filled a few hours later lol

CM Punk tripped over himself on every other line but is considered a great promo. It's about the authenticity.

holly shit im ive been a die hard bret hart fan all my life and ive never seen this promo until now ! this is an amazing promo ! wowser ~!!
That MD2020 is some strong juice 😅
Wrestling is due for a guy like this now, that'll cut this type of promo. This is really good.
Jesse Jammes
Bret talking without rasping his voice.
Undertaker grabs you by throat lol
Look how fair that is.
Unscripted and live and went on for 5 mins. No one from this era could ever do this.
Well we'll never know cause they won't let them try
The best there is....
Great promo but i get a feeling he means every word deep down
that's part of what makes Bret interesting
@@Ffeoli1039 yes. he was what you call a method actor in Wrestling. living the part like heath ledger in joker
@@devangpatel5227 that's definitely the way to look at it. He's been criticized for taking it too serious but it made a difference
@@Ffeoli1039 yep. now no one takes it seriously and vince wonders what's wrong.
Many people don't realize that this was a shoot interview ;)
Great promo because it’s not a promo. When you become your gimmick it’s easy.
Exactly, and people say he was horrible on the stick, let it flow natural, that’s what’s wrong with the product today
This promo is actally pretty damn great
MD- 2020!!
Best x 3
Scary, good promo
Brets promos was alot better as a heel.
david seems like a great guy
Empty Arena
You let Bret riff he’s great once he got comfortable (95-00) you give him a script and it’s awful.
This was during their rehearsals
I thought Bret was a better heal than a face.
Lmao 4:23 bret hart got jokes 😆
His uneven sideburns certainly weren't excellently executed.
TheHappynot what did you measure them ? Fucking idiot
Jaz G. It’s pretty bad tho
haha I didnt even notice that. Good eye man
that is one nit to pick right there...
Road dogg was haggard
Was the theme music necessary? Lol he is walking through an empty arena.
They do it now during covid
@@TheSands83 its silly that they use microphones in an empty arena
You’re damn right it was necessary
That was Bret man he wanted you to feel like you were there live watching him lol but I get it it's kinda silly especially with the lights 🤣
After watching this interview I gotta give it to Owen for keeping with kafabe and trying to break Austins neck for his big bro
What is this show?! This has some serious COVID Era Vibes
Who's JESSE JAMMES?
Road Dogg.....he was originally a roadie for J-E-Double-F J-A-Double R-E-Double-T
@@TRJ2241987 Yeh I know mate... check the first few seconds of the match card and see how it's spelt

Bret wasn't able to cripple Steven Austin so his brother finished the job
Wow, not THAT is great stuff... I mean, this is just fantastic stuff.
😂😂😂😂😂
Only time he cut a great promo is whenever there isn't any fans in the arena
False. His best work was during the 'steel plate' segment in WCW.
@@jpalvarez4972 Only thing great about that segment was the steel plate.. He was never that great at cutting promos..
He's just rambling, repeating himself and tripping over his words. It's crap. If this wasn't Bret, the whole comments section would be mocking this.
The Jackyl spoke eloquently and got zero reaction from the crowd. Authenticity is what it's about.
