Shawn was more athletically gifted and I always thought he was the best. As an adult, spending time with the WWE network I have to say that Bret is the best I’ve ever seen. Every movement, every punch, every bump was just so damn *crisp*. There was never a more appropriate nickname than the excellence of execution. He was just incredible. Better than anyone else who’s ever done it.
Frank O I often times compare him to Wayne Gretzky in how graceful his movements were in the ring. It was like a beautiful dance.
Taker the goat
Bret is like a rare species... no one can replace bret hart...
Absolutely spot on, he has the perfect nickname
It's incredible how every single movement he made was obviously trained to perfection
He had a very simple grappling hard style, but he executed it so perfectly (should i say excellent?) that it is so awesome to see him in action
@Grant420 chris was much more intense, visceral, physical, brutal to watch, amazing technician, one of the best ever
But
Better than Bret Hart? No chance.
If everybody took wrestling as serious as Bret did, wrestling would still be as damn real as it could get.
What happened now?
@@KrishanKumar-ec1ch go watch a wrestling match
To be fair Brock lesner has made it real to extent!
He never kicked Marty through the glass. Its almost like the Mandela affect on that one. He super kicked him but it was just a normal one. After he picked him up and threw him through the glass.
Mandela effect is some strange shit
Yeah it'd such a big Mandela effect for real
The Mind plays tricks lol
I agree so much the Streak should never have been broken
Sweet Chin Music and Sharp Shooter are two of the best finishing moves ever.
Sharp shooter the better
I liked jackknife powerbomb when done well.Looks like pure strength is needed
Nope...the tombstone piledriver is the best
Everyone does that move now sweet Chin music.
Razer's Edge is pretty sweet too.
Shawn Michael's is always soo cool in interviews. still one of my all time overall wrestlers. would be soo honored to meet him
Both were phenomenal wrestlers, HBK is my favorite wrestler of all time but even his most die hard fans have to admit he was a massive asshole back in the day. Shawn also gets a ton of credit for coming back in 2002 and having a great second run which did wonders for his legacy (a chance Bret never really got because of his 2002 stroke)
Great comment and you have Aaron Mckie in your profile pic. Aces in my book friend!
Who cares honestly
I like and respect Shawn but Bret was better. Bret could make anyone look good in the ring because he was so good.
I agree.
Shawn was probably the best "sports entertainer" out there but Bret was the best professional wrestler.
Shawn could to though, but I agree Bret should’ve gotten what he deserved and that’s a good exit, he should have won in Montreal and lost the belt the next night.
TrevorMurrayMusic When it comes to mat technique Bret is more fundamentally crafted. However, overall in ring ability is totally Shawn Michaels. Michaels could do anything in the ring to tell a story. His selling, timing, agility and promo believability is unmatched!
Bret was a class wrestler no doubt. So safe and an A class ring general, but he could be a bit clinical and boring sometimes. Shawn takes it for me for the fact that I never saw him in a match where he didn't perform to 100% of his ability. He could wrestle anyone of any size and put them over. Hell he could go 20 mins with a Mop and make that Mop look like a million bucks. He could do everything that Bret did and a whole bunch of stuff I don't think he could. That's why that is my opinion. I respect anyone who thinks Bret though. Bret has earned it.
Exactly
I know Bret has his moniker of being the best ever, but I don't believe him just because he says it. If you watch a Bret Hart match, you will see that every move matters and 20 minutes later you will understand why. I cam watch every Bret match, but not every HBK match. Bret is the GOAT, as far as being the greatest pro wrestler goes. Hogan, Flair, Austin, and the Rock are the greatest Superstars, and HBK is the greatest performer.
The Undertaker is greater than any of those guys, he's the grestest of all time.
exactly.
@@bigal2748 Undertaker is good, but he was never the best talker, and never the best worker. He is likely the greatest character of all time.
All Hogan knew is a leg drop. Nothing else. He's overrated to sky levels
True
This is my favorite professional wrestler of all time
Brest Hart, true Goat if things would have went his way.
That's everyone. I'm sure funaki would of loved being the goat, if he had it his way he would have been. Brets just a bitter old shit
Shawn has a greater character arc in real life and in the wrestling world
@@tylerwalters2205 Bret might be the 1 wrestler that Shawn could beat in a real fight.
I really enjoy hearing these interviews of wrestlers talking about the business and pulling back the curtain to let people know what goes on outside of the scripted storylines of wrestling. Twenty years ago, you were hard-pressed to get wrestlers to break character even outside of a wrestling ring and present themselves as people working in a business.
If i hadnt known any better i coulda swore sensational sherri's ghost walked in at the end lol
Really enjoyed this interview
I'm not a huge Shawn fan. But recently watched his and Bret's '92 Summerslam match. It's a work of art. Current wrestlers should be made to study it. It's a 30 minute match and every second of it tells and re-enforces the story (face and heel). Even down to the commentary. Today's product is pathetic alongside it.
I think you mean survivor series 92'
Bret hitman Hart and Shawn Michaels was the Best performers of wrestling..
I need to hear a conversation between Sean Michaels and Jake Roberts lol
Bret and Shawn are 2 best wrestlers ever. Vince could have had a modern day verison of both in Bryan and Punk but he scrwed it up thinking people would prefer to see batista and orton. Bryan vs Punk at wrestlmain would have been brilliant. Question is if vince had a young bret and shawn now would he actaully push them i dont think he would.
Bret hart may be the better wrestler. But shawn was the better entertainer and a better package in terms of being a wwe superstars
whenever hbk speaks, he can never spit it out or get to the point these days. its kinda annoying to listen to
I couldn't agree more with you
lol trust me sam, NO ONE thinks there's this "grand plan" when it comes to wwe story lines
Many judge Shawn on his in the ring abilities only. He would sabotage wrestlers, storm into Vince’s office and use his power to get other wrestlers fired. He wouldn’t put guys over. The curtain call incident was a shit on the business. For those reasons I don’t consider him the greatest. Bret on the other hand would be considered backstage “one of the boys.” Not only was Bret Hart amazing in the ring, he wanted to be a leader and help other wrestlers and make them look as good as he could when they would work. He cared deeply about the business. That’s why I put Bret ahead of Shawn.
Amen to that!
I don't think the curtain call was a shit on the business.
No ons judges him on his ring abilities only. People like you always bring up his attitude problems and stuff. I don’t care what he did backstage, he was still the best.
Always nice seeing shawn, but who was that beautiful woman in the back
OfGunvarrelAndFrau I didn't see a beautiful woman?
Guess I was referring to the woman in the back of Shawn
+casper61111 3:18, check her out
+OfYveltalAndMen too much make-up on that broad
That's Shawn's Personal Assistant, Patricia Meyers.
I'm glad when shawn describes his match with taker at Wrestlemania 25 as almost perfect based on how it felt to him. Because if he was saying it was almost perfect based on no botches, then he'd be lying big time because I saw that match for the 10th time yesterday and I counted 9 botches. Their 26 match didn't have any.
AmericanGraffiti Begins yeah it did when shawn went for the moonsault onto the table
Idk about the Botch part like Undertaker nearly broke his neck with that ring dive, but beautiful match anyway
Oh didn’t read it carefully lol
Shawn michaels is the man of God who does not hide his faith
Shawn Michaels is a man who claims to be religious but is perfectly okay with making money off a wrestling angle that ridicules his supposed beliefs. He's a fraud, that's all he is.
@@Jayce_Alexander because that’s his boss?
Lol Shawn took a little dig at Bret at the end .
+Adam 4326 Tis true!
+Adam 4326 who's to blame for the heat, bret hates triple h more then shawn
Bret hart was better wrestler then hbk to be honest a real goat
Super kick thru the window? that never happen, he did kick Marty then picked him up then threw him thru the window.
Even when he's telling the truth and there's nothing to lie about, it still seems like he REEKS of insincerity.
"he dripped with insincerity" RVD
I mean, before, yes. But now seeing him old and shit like that, I think he's sincere. He's established afterall. Nothing to prove, so if he's insincere at all, Im not sure where it is coming from, but that's just me.
I don’t think so.. I think with guys like him .. between their reputation and their personality no matter what they say people will find something to dig at.. either he’s shooting on people and being an asshole or he’s being insincere and fake nice so the man can’t win but he realises and accepts that people feel that way about him because of the bad life choices he made when he was younger..
I disagree, i just don't think he gives a shit anymore....
@@Pingaheimer If he didn't, then he wouldn't be overly defensive on that Greatest Rivalries DVD.
Kane should've been the one to end the streak
Anyone have a problem listening when the brunette walked in?
bret is way better than shawn..I have yet to see a bret hart match that sucked..
you fail
+JenkPac Shakur lol
***** Shawn is better I think.
+JenkPac Shakur I think Kurt angle/Benoit is the most talented EVER.
all of them sucked
video for Shawn Michaels Wrestling God?
Shawn is the greatest performer of all time. Any doubt? Just watch any of his matches in the 80s. He would make anyone he shared the ring look good. He was so fast and sold moves so perfectly.
You fools actually think your sorry ass uneducated opinions are true,remember your own advice about people not thinking like you do because I don't think like you do,these comment sections are your church Goddamn!
Best hbk real interview
Shawn will always be my favorite but my respect for Bret grows each yr that passes. P.s Shawn is the Goat
Were you at raw the other week, could have sworn I saw you when the camera focussed on people in the crowd.
I saw him in the crowd at wrestlemania 31. He was near the front row.
WHATEVER YOU SAY PAL
Homegirl came in at the end with the pajama pants on..
He had 1000% better chemistry with Bret than anyone else...not even close
Shawn was always the best. Better than bret hart by a mile
SANICRAW definitely a better showman, I don’t know about better wrestler
Bret does take himself too seriously, It's been 22 years since the Screwjob and he's still whining about it; can't go a single interview without singing his own praises, putting somebody down, or bragging about how much everybody supposedly respected him. The thing that pisses me off is that he shook Shawn Michaels' hand 10 years ago, they publicly ended it, but Bret still runs his mouth off about Shawn any time he gets the chance. Shawn probably agrees with Triple H but has the good senses not to say anything because he's not that kind of guy anymore. Bret constantly talks about what a shitbag Shawn was and fails to see the irony in his statements.
Salient point. Growing up Brett was my favorite, and I didn't like Michaels. As time has gone on, and I'm in my 40's now, i have a deep appreciation for what Michaels did encompassing his whole career. Moreover, he seems much more laid back now, while if you read Brett's book, I get the sense that Hart goes out of the way to make sure he's the glorious unappreciated hero in every instance. I still love Brett, but I find myself turning into to an HBK fan more and more.
@@statisticalasparagus8220 book was published back in 2007 just 10 years after
and have a look at hbk's book. you won't go past 20 pages. Guy just is never true or straight
Hart was always his own biggest mark.
I think Bret isn't so much bothered about Montreal, it is more the betrayal behind it, where Shawn and him had a really nice chat before the match, forgave each other and Shawn then did that, I think that scar just is always going to be there, and you can tell HBK felt an enormous burden for years over it (even though it was HHH fault). Whilst I agree Bret does sometimes still say negative stuff about HBK, its always in reference to the OLD HBK, he has said plenty of things recently about how he is proud of HBK for changing his life, putting on great matches as he got older, overcoming obstacles like drugs when guys like Davey boy couldn't, which are in reference to the new HBK. Another thing is, you have to remember when people have a stroke, they are not ever the same again mentally, and literally can suffer things like memory loss, distortions of the past and that can affect what Bret is saying. Someone once said that when Bret hugged HBK he didn't look like his smile was legit, but they don't realise that is a side effect of his stroke, which he has spoken about, he can't smile properly and its the same when he poses with anyone else
@@jagrai5366 he should have done business instead of being up his own ass. Probably why WCW didn't use him at all. Bret screwed Bret.
The word prick was invented for Shawn Michaels
Shawn isn't the best and I am under the belief that those taker matches were not that good just a bunch of finisher after finisher and not too much good wrestling, just seemed very much a Shawn match and a taker match nothing new just nice but not great whereas Bret hart every match he had was different and that to me makes him the best
The WM 25 match had awesome technical wrestling too
Actually every Bret Hart match was pretty much the same. Suplex, side russian leg sweep, back breaker, elbow off the top rope(which looked ridiculous) clotheline, and sharpshooter(which was a rip off of Stings Scorpion Deathlock). That's pretty much his entire repretoire, and he never changed. A Bret Hart match from 1992, was pretty much the same as a Hart match from 1997. He was not this great mat technician that everyone thinks he is. HBK on the other hand was constantly adding new moves. In his later matches he was using the Indian Deathlock, Moonsaults, Hurricanrana's and other high risk manuevers, and even the Sharpshooter, none of which he was doing earlier in his career
+Lewis 970 actually you are wrong, your opinion is not a fact Shawn just does a few moves and a finisher which is the problem with the taker matches just repeated finishers he was a horrible technician. Yes all wrestlers use certain moves over and over as they travel but on the big ppv matches they have to innovate still waiting on Shawn to do that. Bret went through a king of the ring and wrestled 3 different matches in one night, did Shawn no. It is ridiculous Shawn just would run around every match flip over the turnbuckle so it looks more fake, do a flying forearm elbow drop and a kick in every match he had never did he change you seen one you seen them all. Yes all wrestlers have a set up finish but that is pretty much all Shawn ever did and if a match went longer he would just do those moves again watch those taker matches. Watch Bret vs bulldog vs Austin vs Nash vs did vs taker vs 123 kid all those men best matches came against Bret and they were all different.
Actually you're wrong. Brett is overrated as a technician. He never did anything in the ring that hadn't been done by several other wrestlers before. There are many wrestlers, in the past and today who are much better grapplers; HBK, Ronnie Garvin, AJ Styles, Arn Anderson, Brian Pillman(before his car accident), Kurt Angle, Kurt Hennig, Ric Flair, Davey Boy Smith, Dean Malenko, Stephen/William Regal, Eddie Guerrero, the Undertaker, Bob Orton, Bob Backlund, Matt Sydal, hell even his own brother Owen(RIP) was better in the ring. I never cared much for Bret on the mic either. I used to get so annoyed when he referred to himself as a "hero". I felt like saying a hero is someone who serves in the Military, or as a Police Officer, or Firefighter. Bret took, and still does take himself way too seriously
Couple more I can add to that list - Barry Windham, Mike Rotundo, Bobby Eaton, Chris Benoit
I just noticed how sam roberts looks a hell of alot like former wwe wrestler carlito 😂😂😂
Shawn didn't superkick Marty thru the window... Doesn't seem like an actual fan
I don't understand how anybody can compare Michaels to Brett Hart when it comes to wrestling, there is literally no comparison at all. True comparisons would be Randy Savage, Ricky Steambolt, Rick Rude, Curt Henning, etc. These guys could do it all, not Shawn Michaels, not Hulk Hogan, not Ultimate Warrior, etc.
Shawn the goat...then Flair....then Bret
like Jim cornette said, usually guys who have few friends on earth are the type to find God..if Shawn took his religion so serious as a born again Christian should, then he should never have compromised his faith by doing a wrestling angle that involved blasphemy n heretic behaviour... Shawn is full of shit and ill always prefer Bret Hart to him.. Bret got guys over, helped make them great, whereas Shawn was always in it for himself n used to try make Nash n hall his own friends look bad by cutting a serious pace n hoping they'd blow up, what kinda friend tries to make you look bad on purpose..a snake
Yep I agree Shawn has a special place in hell 🤘 Not only that look at Shawn's left hand at the @1:51 mark that's the 🤘 devil sign they use in Hollywood I've even seen Bret Hart throwing up that sign.... So yes Shawn becoming a born again Christian is lien threw his teeth!
Toya Murillo lmao calm down, if he says he’s a Christian he’s a Christian. how would you know if he isn’t? he’s clearly changed from the 90s so move on. are you Bret Hart? did he do something bad to you? probably not so chill.
Bret does.
Bella Twins third sister?
Ah, somebody else noticed.
Whoever she is, she's a hottie!
Greatest heel turn : Larry on Bruno .
The greatest heel turn is either Hogan forming NWO or Bret Hart and Steve Austin's double turn at Wrestlemania 13.
Shawn interviewing a younger Shawn or Sam interviewing an older Sam? BTW Whose the pretty girl at the end though????...
my mom
Nowadays Shawn is the babyface and Bret is the heel
Nice to Garfunkel handle the boy toy
Bret was the guy who made wrestling feel real. For wrestlers it was about performances for the company. That's what every wrestler did. But when it came to Michaels it was always about him.
Shawn is the greatest in ring performer of all time.
+jakethemuss3 shawn is the best pro wrestler ever and then comes guys like bret,triple h,undertaker,bryan
Ritwik Raj I agree, he is the best pro wrestler ever. Also my all time favorite.
+jakethemuss3 I don't think there is any one guy who is the greatest wrestler ever, and to make such a claim about anyone is beyond ridiculous. In order to be able to say definitively that Shawn Michaels is the best, you'd have to be familiar with every single wrestler who ever lived. Also, it would still be just your opinion.
JMFSpike It's an opinion, and one that seems backed by any guy who worked with Shawn in the ring. He worked with the biggest wrestlers ever in the business, so I don't really think it's beyond ridiculous.
jakethemuss3 What about all those wrestlers from AAA, NJPW, AJPW, and ASW?
All Jordan does is tell people how great he is same with LeBron the greats know how good they are honestly it’s what got them to that level believing that they were the best.
Shawn Michaels is the greatest ever.
He could make anybody look good in the ring
Glad for sure that Bret and Shawn buried the hatchet. Both all time greats. The only part that was odd about Michaels comments was when he said Michael Jordan didn't need to remind everyone how great he was. Uhhhhh......Jordan constantly tells everyone how great he was. His basketball HOF speech was painful and embarrassing, putting down all his previous opponents. I get what Shawn was trying to say but there are a million better examples he could have used.
Michael Jordan was babied by NBA officials. Magic Johnson made a funny comment about this during a photoshoot with MJ and Larry Bird. There's videos exposing MJ and his artificial greatness.
Maybe he could have used messi as an example
Shawn Michaels is the biggest backstabbed out there.
In more ways than one!
And we care why? Dudes an entertainer not your bff
@@Dreamst8r hes a douche like you
Bret Hart was over rated . His matches were boring. hbk was far better in the ring
Bret the hitman hart > Shawn Michaels
Bret is way better wrestler than Shawn the only reason Shawn lasted that long in wwe was bcuz he was Vince's boy toy n hhh best friend
Bullshit. Look I know HBK was a grade A douchebag, nobody's debating that. But he was actually a much better technical wrestler and athelete than Bret. Bret never did anything original or all that impressive in the ring.
SILVA exactly my thought and his mic skill were way better than bret you can see the heel turn in his match with hogan everybody literally hated him
Bullcrap. Shawn was always better than Bret. Bret was better technically, but Shawn was way better in everything else. Much more charisma, better looks, athleticism, physique, and gimmick. Have you seen how fast he was in the 90s? Every HBK match was beautiful, he always made even the least interesting wrestlers look good with the way he sold every move. Not for nothing, he is called Mr. Wrestlemania. Because every single match of his was an amazing show. Even Stone Cold will tell you he is the best performer of all time.
Tavo Morales you are a idiot!!!!! HBK was an asshole at one point but was honestly the greatest performer in the history of the business and when a Rick Flair says that you believe him WOOOOOOOOOOI
Hbk
Hey look! It's that guy who asked Brock Lesnar "whats the haps?"
Wrestling God?you mean JBL lol
MAGGLE
hahaha
No, they're taking about a story line shortly after WrestleMania 22 when the McMahon wants to challenge HBK and "God".
The wrestling God are the script writers the right the storyline .
i love hbk
Martim Afonso Bret Hart dont
Shawn's a born-again heterosexual.
chick in corner has a bacon strip
what kind of weird, out of place random perverted, fucking comment? Like wtf? Weirdo
marty jannety beat the shit out of shawn michaels for real after the heel turn macho man had to break it up
Bret Hart is the only wrestler besides Jeff Hardy, CM Punk and a few others that I would consider more of a "real" person. Although CM Punk is also a great actor and entetainer.. something Bret Hart and Jeff Hardy were not because they were so much of themselves.
Shawn through up the baphomet horns when he mentioned atheists very subtly
And clearly at 4:34.
At 1:50 he does
Koff
Best of all time? ROFL!!!!!
He is Christian so he doesn't care 💕
Vince is Catholic too. So I don't know that makes up for it or not lol
Vince is a Dollarist, first and foremost. He believes in making money, and is literally willing to do anything to make a couple extra bucks, including perving on his own kid.
I think the words Shawn was looking for was "I don't mind when other people dont think like me". So every activist or abolishionist or whatever you are that gets made and wants to change the law when people don't think like you, take note of this
Shawn enough with the hats man WTF
He's balding... Maybe that's why he's wearing them
+Kiki Vandom no i think its because of his bonk eye. poor guy
UnHolyWible he is a Texas boy . He likes those kinds of hats even before he was balding .
Well, Shawn Michaels is the greatest of all time!!!
basiljun808 stone cold is
HBK was and allways will be better
RandomnessTube They were both pro’s in the ring and never injured anyone. Both equal in my book. Shawn delivered 1000’s of Sweet Chin Music and none hurt anyone and that is astonishing. Both Bret and Shawn deserve only but respect as wrestlers. Outside the ring they are all different.
They both wouldn't of been shi t with out each other
hehe. come on, shawn. I doubt Shawn even remembers the 90's he was so high. lol. In the words of Kenny Bolin... when people find "god" it's because nobody else will talk to them.
You shouldn't judge people and why they found God,Shawn found God because he needed him and God was there for him and saved him and the time is coming when you will need God as well.
I know, very convenient. Almost as convenient as his back getting better once WCW went out of business. Thank God for that! XD
Rhinestone ted nugent
Sam interrupts way too much
Host is nerdy curly haired version of Sam Rockwell
someone just said that hbk was a bigger crybaby than Bret, if you think that only a younger fan would say that then you haven't watched the "wrestling with shadows" doc, or listened to shoots where others discuss him.
Bret Hart was a bore compared to Shawn Michaels, less exciting in the ring, not nearly the showman HBK was and also not as aweome on the mic.
HBK > Hitman
Must be boring when you dont enjoy mat style wrestling....
I agree bro. Shawn was so much more exciting. Bret was still good to watch but not as entertaining
bee boo yup Bret can do that he earned it he’s the BEST💯
Shawn Michaels is a psychopath; i do believe he is a real-life psychopath.
Why?
Shawn was always me me me. But now he's become a washed up old man and he's finally seen the light huh lol. Glad benoit made him and his suck up friend hhh tap
Age wises you up.. when you're young you do what you need to do
SHAWN SCREWED BRET!
steven hayes Fuck Bret!!
Bret screwed Bret!
If it looks like a snake, talks like a snake...it's probably a snake. Christian my ass...hypocrite.
This person should REPENT. U can't say u wrestled God. You must not use the Lord's name in vain. People might like this guy but if u tolerate this, u will go to Hell. God should not be involved in wrestling
Bret Hart > Shawn Michaels
He is a fake christian and he was always fake in everything he ever did
You know him personally to say that?
