Do you agree or disagree with Bret Hart's opinion? Let us know in the comments below!
I always believe Bret Hart he speaks nothing but the truth🎉❤
Dangerous question on the internet!
Bret didn't draw so no
@@bigolebothe didn't draw as well as hulk Hogan, but he did very well for where the business was at the time. And he was the hottest wrestler in the world in 1997.
It's just weird to hear about who was trying to block Rock's push. Most of the time, you hear it was Shawn and Hunter, but on Rock's own TV show, he recalls it as Bret being the one who was doing it. (The wrestler who's name was changed, but would come out on TV with a broken leg)
The Hart foundation versus The Kliq would have been brilliant
Would've been epic
Amazing Idea...sadly way to late
Hart Foundation vs DX already happened in 97
Everyone was watching WCW, so we'll have to take your word for it.
Which reminds me that Jim Anvil to DX looked stupid.. he didnt looked fit and happy AT ALL.
And now The Rock outranks HHH, doesn’t he?
Always did. And you know I haunts HHH to this day that he was never "the guy."
Technically WWE owns 49% of TKO Holdings. So it really depends who's higher on the respective brand
I think the issue was…it wasn’t so much that Vince couldn’t pay Bret,, it was the precedent it would set. Guys like Shawn would demand Vince match his salary otherwise he would most likely leave to WCW once he was able to. Unbeknownst to many, wwf was just months away from the attitude era boom period
Vince could pay Bret. Dude was paying Mike Tyson a couple of million just to show up a couple of dates in January-March of 1998 but he couldn’t pay Bret in November 1997? I think the real life fight with Bret and Shawn was the beginning of the end for Bret. You can tell Shawn gave Vince an ultimatum because once Shawn went home after the fight but then returned, the hart foundation were put to the back burner and Shawn was pushed as the top heel. Shawn never wanted to turn face in 95 and 96 and preferred heel. He was also miserable and wanted to leave and go be with Nash and Hall in wcw but Vince said wcw wouldn’t know what to do with him as a character. Instead Vince put Shawn with Hunter who was his only friend left from the Kliq. Shawn also hated Bret’s contract because Bret was making twice as much as Shawn. It seemed after the real life fight, all of Shawn’s problems were taken care of and all of a sudden Vince couldn’t pay Bret. Bret should have sued. Vince was always pretending that he’s right. He wasn’t right. Even if Bret wasn’t worth the contract, the fact is ya still signed him. Whether he’s worth the money or not. It’s a legal document
@@bobbyjohnson9409 exactly…I read Shawn’s book and Shawn was making $750,000 while Bret was making $1.5 million and Shawn flat out said to Vince “you think he’s twice as good as me?” Or something to that effect. Michael landsberg interviewed Vince about this dispute and I think Vince outright lied (shocker) , that he wouldn’t accept ultimatums…Shawn was Vince’s boy toy and would give him all the breaks in the world
It was actually Vince told Bret that WCW wouldn't know what to do with him.
Shawn wanted to leave for WCW right away but Vince had him stuck in a contract nothing he could really do.
Bret let Vince off the hook for his contract too easily, could have demanded alot more
Vince also offered Warrior $750000 a year plus royalties 1 month after the screwjob
Vince is a pathological liar and sex offender
HHH seems like he ruined so many potential great moments for fans
Moments, potential superstars, ratings, lives. Etc.
Idt so every superstar had done so like 2001 kane should have won the rr but Austin won it
Or he didn't put lesnar over
Whatever hhh perhaps created the greatest moment in wrestling history few days ago
@@Rschr101 it's a shame
Be fckin deal…. Take a bump…
You have to respect HHH arsed kissed and slept his way to the top 🤣 still say the greatest thing he done in his career was taking the wrap for the curtain call as he didn’t win the 96 KOTR, Austin did and the rest is history!!
He didn't have much of a choice
No knocking the boss steph up & marrying her got him set 4-life 🤘
@@billwebber400that's what he is saying. Little bit of irony, sarcasm.
nah that's hogwash. triple h held the company banner for years when all the rest of the 'megastars' were injured or left the company. when he got injured it left a HUGE void in the heel roster and when he came back everyone was really happy because nobody could do it quite like him. kinda really tired of people saying H only 'slept his way to the top' and don't mention that he has been freaking MONEY since the time he started with WWF.
@@h445
Facts. My favorite heel of all-time. I hated nobody more than Triple H growing up.
I love how after all these years Bret still hates HHH 😂 now that’s dedication LoLoLoL
Didn't Hall and Nash used to laugh at Bret being the $400,000 champion? They indicated that Bret would rather have the world title than make more money. Either way Triple H owns a huge chunk of WWE and Michaels was making seven figures so I'd guess both are doing fine. Nash and Hall both had favored nations clauses in their contract at WCW so whatever Bret made in WCW they made the same at least.
I think they drew the line on the favored nations when they brought Brett in for the big money I think they got a raise but I've never heard either of them say they made 2.8 million ever in WCW
I think he was in the 20 year deal already by the story he was telling here (1.5 million a year vs. HBK's "guaranteed" 750k). that contract was frontloaded so he would make more as an active performer and then would transition to like an ambassador role a few years later. but then Vince cried broke and that altered the dynamics of everything leading up to Survivor Series.
You’re right, but that was talking about in the years of 93-96. After WCW took off and everyone junped ship Bret became the highest paid wwf guy. Shawn Michaels signed for like 750k/year for 4 years in 97 before the big money was being paid out and was stuck.
Wrestlers have incredible memories
Brett Hart is Awesome love you sir! Nothing but respect for you. #bretthart #canada #wwe #montreal #CalvaryAlberta
The interviewer has no clue Jim Neidhart is his brother in law
i will never understand how this dude got from utube to a actual live audience... he is horrible.
We all do to some extent, but Brett has perfected the art of seeing history through Brett Coloured glasses.
Did/does Bret have some sort of bad blood with Austin? Or does he just really not like their WM13 match, which Austin credits with elevating him as a face? I seem to remember him talking dismissively about Austin in a similar (if not the same) interview about how Austin was not used to blading and had to (sin of sins!) let Bret do it to him; and now in this interview Bret is lamenting how he had to turn heel after only doing to Austin "what he promised to do", though to be fair he could just be trying to get into character to recall things better. Either way, would be very interested in hearing out somebody who knows
Bret and Austin are good friends to this day. Austin has a tremendous amount of respect for Bret. You can tell from his podcast. Bret tried his best to persuade Owen to make peace with Ausitin after he injured his neck.
@@GavinWoods That's the impression I get whenever Austin's talking about Bret - he couldn't be more grateful to the guy. I just hope Bret doesn't hold any resentment despite their friendship - there's plenty of ways miscommunication can do that to you, with the Owen tragedy you brought up being an example.
Bret and Austin are as good as gold together.. they got nothing but love and respect for each other..
I think too, Bret did not want their match to be a submission because it would restrict them during the match. And they both planned out the match that morning of Wrestlemania. So I think Bret resented how the match went.
Bret Hart hates everyone that isn't named Bret Hart.
Apropo of Bret’s comments:
I once worked for a company where I was told to work 12 hours a day so I could train 4 shifts while I was traveling to Mississippi…
I did so and some days worked up to 15-16 hours.
When I get back to my home facility, I get brought into an office with the GM and other managers who proceed to ask me “who authorized you to work 284 hours in 3 weeks”?
“You’re corporate office did mf’er, how else could I train 4 shifts?!”
And then I got f’d over
I loved Bret when I was a kid!! He was awesome!!
This explains why Rock always goes out of his way to pay respect to Bret. You never hear him say anything about HBK because of all the crap he got from them when he came up while Bret was kind to him.
I call BS
I want to like him, he makes it hard when all he does is throw a pity party, and gets butt hurt when you don’t wanna attend. I understand he is justified in some of bitterness, but let it go already. Just enjoy the amazing life and legacy you have had in professional wrestling.
I remember as a kid not believing Bret Hart was a heel until he formed the Hart Foundation, and Owen cried. I remember being 11 years old and saying out loud, "Oh no, he's bad now." I believed Bret and Owen legitimately hated each other.
"Brock screwed Brock" 😂😂😂
"not my fault"
@6:25, The interviewer asks how Pillman and Neidhart got to be included in the new Hart Foundation (i.e. whether Bret had to lobby for it, etc.) and Bret goes into his beef with Shawn Michaels (again), their catfight in Hartford (which happened WAY after Pillman and Anvil were added to the stable, so it had no relevance to the question) and how Shawn & Hunter were jealous of his huge salary. Never ONCE bothered to answer the question because he was too focused on himself.
Ain't this a old video but still good and useful video
That entire family GOT IT Brett, Owen, Anvil, Bulldog, all had good runs & did it the right way
You're kidding right?
- Bret was the lowest drawing WWF Champion of the 90's, averaged only 3,703 at the House Shows (even Nash did a whole lot better with 4,464), holds the distinction of main eventing the lowest drawing WWF PPV of all time (IYH5) and drawing the lowest crowds a WWF Champion ever drew at the Saddledome, Maple Leaf Gardens, Meadowlands and MSG. In fact, Bret drew so horrible in Calgary that the WWF dropped the city from their House Show circuit for over two years. And heck, even his WCW Nitro debut did 0.3 rating points less than the previous shows.
- Owen only drew once: After he dropped from the arena roof. Suddenly everybody was his biggest fan, suddenly everybody thought he would be World Champion. LMAO. Bret vs. Owen drew a pathetic 6,000 at the Saddledome, in their fucking home town.
- Neidhart was even worse. Bret vs. Neidhart did 4,000 at the Saddledome.
They were all non-drawing vanilla midgets and their careers were constant examples of massive failure.
Bret sounds great. His speech has gotten so much better. I'm happy for him
That interview is from 2019!!!
Excepting Vince McMahon in his own class my himself, Bret is in the top 10 of biggest wrestling names still alive that you can have an interview with (Top 10 : Stone Cold, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Bret Hart, Bob Backlund and The Rock). Special mentions after that : Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, Kane, Edge, Kurt Angle, Mankind, Batista, Randy Orton, Ted Dibiase, Jake The Snake Roberts, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Sid Justice, Chris Jericho, Jerry Lawler, Lex Luger, Jimmy Hart, Sergeant Slaughter and Ricky Steamboat are also big names still alives but a little bit lower level to me. After that ...finally ... we will have the other category of stars but less important : Paul Heyman, Eric Bischoff, Bruce Prichard, Big Show, Rick Martel, Demolition, Rougeau Brothers, Steiner Brothers, Marty Jannetty, Jim Duggan, RVD, Arn Anderson, Mike Rotunda, Michael Hayes, Sean Waltman, Bushwhacker Luke, Booker T +++
If Tony Khan hired Bret Hart to book...they would stand a chance
what?
He OFFERED his services to AEW as an agent. They declined and offered for him to work as a manager instead. Which is ridiculous. As one other commentator put it: "This is like if the minor leagues turned down Hank Aaron if he offered to be a hitting coach and instead only wanted him to play the mascot"
There is more wrong than just the booking. You've got a lot of skinny wimps there that do not know how to wrestle or put a match together, so they just do cooperative gymnastics. Even if Bret was the greatest booker of all time, he can't fix that. Not without firing most of the roster.
@@royjonzejr I didn't know this. Yeah that was dumb. Bret is the 1 dude who could start his own league and it work. Guys would trust him. He would book st8 shoot fights 😅💯
@@earlusmcdivett Yeahhhhhh
3:06 The late Owen Hart breaking down in tears with a serious crying face was very heartwarming, even though he, Bret, and Bulldog were all heels. Bret and Owen had maintained a rivalry for years even after their SunmerSlam match and the Bob Backlund-towel ending.
They were only heels in America.
Sure Bret, I believe you
Nobody cares what you think.
Love Bret ❤, he's the best wrestler in history
Err no. WWF nearly went out of business in 1997 cos he couldn't draw
@@juliandicks6822 yep thats because of Shawn who was a champion that year..
@@Man03514 Bret was also a champion that year, was the highest paid wrestler on the roster and main evented most of the flagship PPVs
You're both wrong. Shawn was only champion for a total of two months in 1997.
Secondly, 1997 was when they turned the corner. Much better than 1996 (when Bret was only around for four months).
@@LeoWhalen1933 I don't hate Bret, I actually like him. I just think his fanboys overhype him massively. They turned a corner in 1997 mainly because of Austin turning face, Rock turning heel and joining the nation and DX forming which became the bedrock of the attitude era. The Hart Foundation was good but didn't actually contribute much to WWF ultimately beating WCW
Hogan screwed him at Mania. Vince and Shawn screwed him. His brother died young. His career was too short, and it was ended by one of the worst wrestlers in history Bill Goldberg. His dad died after that. I'll be the most bitter man if all these things happened to someone."
But he's not that bitter. He only talks about that stuff when others bring it up and he tells the truth!
I've had this thought every single time people call Bret a bitter old man.
Let's not forget as we'll his brother in lie broke his back and practically lived in agony after due to substance abuse to try and medicate his injury.
Bret has been through a ton, and I don't care what anybody says. He's always been passionate about wrestling, and it's no shock why.
@@ohgodwhy9853
Most people end up getting hooked on pills because of a bad injury that required administrations of opioid, and prescriptions for it. Once you get your hands on a prescription of them, they make you feel so good like you're on top of the world, and once they run out, you instantly want more, then a lot of people end up buying them off the street.
Brat Hart whining again like always
Do you see how REAL that was when he did that back then??? The way he YELLED at Vince, and the way Vince walked Slowly back to the table in SHOCK Really made me think that was Real all these Years!!! Wrestling had a Big Serious Streak back then than it does now or right after the Attitude Era, and Bret knew how to make it Real himself!!!
Brock would never refused to do a job
Bret Hart is always bitching about anything geez
I don't know what's worse; Bret continuously talking about this stuff, or the people who continuously ASK HIM ABOUT THIS STUFF.
Dude its the Screw 🔩 Job 🇨🇦...😐??? The pivotal time of when the WWF officially became the attitude Era. Vince became the Ultimate Heel & got involved with wrestling 🤼. People couldn't tell what was Real & what was Fake. Not a scripted Ending. Monday night Wars. Etc. it all the Domino effect from this moment
He’s a great story teller. And he’s not full of shit.
And yet, here you are
All he’s been doing lately is becoming a bitter old man. It doesn’t do himself any good with that negative attitude.
Vince killed his brother, HHH got him out of the WWF with the idea for the Screwjob, he was injured by the worst wrestler in history Goldberg, he has every right to be bitter.
@@carter3369 One could say that Owen died of Suicide, Bret screw jobbed himself, and Goldberg apologized countless times to Bret.
So your argument is Pointless.
@l-wolverine2211 you really took that "Bret screwed Bret" promo seriously huh 😂
@@edils0 He’s always been too Self-Absorbed, and Cried way too much when things didn’t go his way, evident back in the late 90’s.
@@l-wolverine2211and so was HBK 🤣
4:25 This is why I thought that Brock Lesnar would not care to wrestle Gunther for the IC Title or why John Cena did not care to go over Theory for the United States. But if Hart is referring to the difference in pay, then maybe it doesn’t matter today because last year Lesnar was paid more money than the WWE Universal Champ (Roman Reigns) and the World Heavyweight Champ (Seth Rollins), COMBINED.
Triple H has done so much damage to the business over the last 24 years. Held down so much talent. Everybody kisses his ass these days but forget how many people he buried to solidify his position on top. His matches are trash too, he literally walked thru all of them. Overrated and only got as big as he did because he had Shawn and Vince's ear. Marrying Stephanie only kept him on top when so many others should have had that spot in the 2000s.
You type all of that and you have no idea what really happened
1st he refuses to win a belt then he refuses to lose a belt that's why vince crossed him
Little more to it than that. The main reason was the fact Shawn basically told Bret he wouldn't do for Bret what Bret was offering to do for him. That, combined with all the other crap, is what led to Bret refusing to do the job. Ppl have said a lot of things since then and WWE has put a lot of propaganda out since then (like saying Bret was gonna take the belt to WCW which was complete bollocks). But it was really just a personal issue between Bret and Shawn. Ppl forget, there was plenty of time to get the belt off Bret before Survivor Series and he had said repeatedly he would have dropped the belt to anyone else. Don't buy Into this story that WWE "had no other options"...yes they did. Vince just turned it into a pissing contest and didn't wanna come up with something that would have avoided the MSJ.
I wonder how Shawn Michaels and triple h loves the fact that the rock is so much wealthier than them
Brock lesner mid match and Vince walks out and rings the bell the chaos after would be catastrophic
Bret was always about the money he never give a shit about anyone eles dontbelive any off his ĺies
Nah, I believe Brett
That's your belife your wrong but that's what you belive
@@josephmcdermott1842 sure sure
@@josephmcdermott1842 Bret was the least paid champion, he legit loved wrestling.

Bret’s confused, it was Chad Frost who wanted him to beat Dwayne Johnson for the Intercontinental title.
Chad Frost? Who the f@cknis Chad Frost?!?

I don't Blame Brett ❤ for feeling down on his luck. He did get pretty Screwed 🔩 in his career. He lost Family members & there was some hate 😡 on the guy from most angles. We just Feel like he should also see the good that he's got out of it all. He was the Best paid 💰 wrestler at a time back to back. He got remarried 💍 with a hotter younger gal.

Bret was really funny and entertaining in this video.
Bret should book aew
And go up againsts
Raw smackdown
Hhh
Nxt
Hbk
This is destiny
This right here is why we have the trash WWE we have today. Triple H and Shawn began their takeover of the company, with Vince allowing it 100%. Bret was superior to them both as a wrestler and as a creative mind. By refusing to trash Rock, Bret had a target on his back that last all the way until Survivor Series. After he left, Shawn and especially Hunter took over and made WWE in their own image. Where only their breakfast club wins championships and the actual talented wrestlers are jobbers throughout. Not having Bret around killed WWE forever. Yes, Austin and Rock kept things afloat, but they didn't last, either. Hunter and Shawn continue their garbage ways of running the company to this day.
Idk what you've been watching, but wwe has been on a fkn roll lately
WWE is the hottest and best it has been in 20 years. Have no idea what you're talking about dude
@@douggoins2960because The Rock is back and is in control!
Dude what are you talking about? It’s fine if you personally don’t like it, but numbers don’t lie. WWE and NXT are doing better in ratings and mainstream attention then it has in over a decade. There has been a noticeable quality improvement in the company overall since DX took over. WWE is finally getting their next boom period, and if you can’t see it you’re just in denial. I personally prefer the Ruthless Aggression era over the Attitude Era, and I like the New Generation era, but I’m not going to say the Attitude Era is garbage, or that the New Generation was a great time for them creatively and success wise.
That's funny because the WWE are breaking records, when Bret was around, the WWF nearly died😂
Bret only ever thought of himself, still to this day. Bret only thinks about himself. The MOST selfish wrestler is history. IMO
I've often thought the same thing. I bet he was hard to work with
HHH and Shawn are the least cool wrestlers there is. Vince probably got them to do all kinds of depravity.
No way! They are awesome, great wrestlers and hard workers. There are a lot of people super jealous. Especially of. HBK who is THE GREATEST wrestler of ALL time.
I was at the show where Owen was crying in the ring, but it was in Peoria Illinois
