I agree. TBH your comment (plus my own maturation) helped me to understand Bret a bit more. He's always come off as so bitter; but he's lived a pretty emotionally traumatic life & wrestling was all he had/knew since a kid. I think the guy is just a very emotional "wears his heart on his sleeve" kinda dude
The mental strength Bret has is unreal. So MUCH happened with him & his family during the late 90s and early 2000s was insane. It would be hard for anyone to bounce back from that.
@@TheChamp33 Also the "screwjob" in November 97, which I don't want to place blame, but a lot of professional bridges were torched. And also Brian Pillman passing a few weeks earlier.
I have sympathy for him for his brothers death and his concussion that ended his career but not his marriage ending. That one was his own fault. He was sleeping around on his wife with countless women for several years and his wife was a sweet lady.
Bret has dealt with a lot of pain and suffering in his life and people till this day find him bitter and angry. Until you understand Bret’s path and journey you will never know.
he’s a strong man , lot of men commit suicide over less things. his stress definitely impacted his health but he’s a hell of a fighter , the lone survivor of the hart foundation
People say Bret had no charisma but that’s not true . He did not have a put on charisma . He had real man charisma in spades . He was his generations Harley Race . Nothing seemed fake including his demeanor .
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 His whole aura was just straight up being a man of character . Even when he was heeling and wrong he played it for truth . He seemed to be above lying about his motives . He believed what he said and he maintained that by never saying anything too far divorced from the truth .
Bret doesn’t lie, skirt the issues, act like a chicken shit . He always gives it to you straight and like a man. Which is more then I can say for a lot of the other guys of that time.
You know, I can’t even think of in the WWF any cowardly heel stuff he did, people were just mad he was jumping stone cold and talking bad about America.
If they waited, he probably would have found out by seeing the news on TV screens at the terminal gate, or once his cell phone got a signal on the tarmac. I think the people who told Bret did the right thing.
@@douglasjarnagan3835 He probably didn’t even have a cell phone at that time. They were around, but Not a lot of people owned one. Plus, to make a call on one was kinda experience.
Then ppl wonder why he's bitter. Ptsd for starters, losing some1 that was beloved & his' youngest brother. In all honesty I didn't like how Owen handled breaking SC's neck. By all accounts he was a good man.
LMAO he's bitter since I know him. Approx 1991.... there was always smth very off about him. Other ppl lose close ones by the age of 7, 13.... happens daily.
Shut the fk up, you don't know the first thing about the guy. Every single wrestler speaks exceptionally highly of Bret both as a wrestler and a person. Don't act like you know better than people who actually know him.@@BEEyonced
I truly feel for Bret. You can tell how his body language shifts when he starts talking about his brother. His cousin Roddy Piper also got shaky and raspy in interviews whenever Owen came up. 😢
My aunt got the call about her 13 year old son taking his own life while she was in heavy traffic on the freeway. She was such a wreck, obviously, that it caused her to misjudge the next slow down and rear end someone at 35 mph, which sadly proved fatal for the elderly passenger 4 days later.
A lot of people going on about Owen breaking Austin's neck and not apologising. He actually did apologise but Austin said Owen should've rang him everyday to apologise for the injury.
In his defense, Austin thought the apology was BS. That is because on his first match back in the ring Owen wore a shirt that said “Owen 3:16….I just broke your neck”. Austin did not find it amusing
I understand their needing to let him know and the fear that he could somehow find out from another passenger. But social media wasn’t prevalent back then, so they should have waited till he landed and then had someone meet him at arrivals to convey the bad news.
Social media wouldn't have mattered anyway... almost 2 years after Owen's death, was when the first internet connected phone was released, and internet connection wasn't available on planes then either. [Without the plane's phone] There's no way that Bret would have known about it, from another person on board/learned about it from an online source, prior to landing.
@@gossamer1234 I used to listen to him religiously back when I had a job where I drove most of the day. Fell out of touch with his show about 10-11 years ago and got hooked on all the ESPN debate type shows which now I don't follow any of that type of stuff, so I'm really not sure what he's been doing 🤔
the lifting device used by the wwf (e) for owen looked so unsafe but how did the 6lbs of pressure needed to unlatch the clip get appiled? id love to see mythbusters on that
@@BlueGlitterNightit had nothing to do with pressure to un-clip. the feathers or fluff that was apart of his costume got caught in between the clip and he tried to rip it out which caused him to drop. he was in his "Blue Blazer" costume
I give Bret a hard time, but this goes beyond that and it makes me sad he lost his bro. Tough times, RiP Owen and Im sorry Bret had to endure something so devastating
having to find out something like that while being stuffed in a tube with hundreds of people must be a super stressful experience 😔 so its good he was in first class with only a couple people i guess, rip Owen
The person who did the harness rigging was obviously done in this profession afterward. Except he wasn’t - his name is Bobby talbert. Bastard also does cena’s stunts. Hollywood and Dwayne and Vince are evil as hell.
God bless Bret hart may Godalmighty continue to give the wisdom patience and virtue to overcome difficult challenges and obstacles he may face or encounter he has a great heart ❤ God bless Stu hart for raising A great son and one of the greatest scientific wrestlers of all time thank you Bret
Dude, why would you ask a question like that? Thats really messed up, it's tough to bring up with someone you are close to, let alone someone you see on T.V. The interviewer asks it like how was your morning Brett?
No phones worked but he found out that he died up in the air in the Era of little cellphones and no internet on planes... does this make sense? Who told him and how did they know
@@Truth3305 yea the phones on planes back then were a crap shoot even in first class mid flight. He probably got paged to contact someone he knew and then got the news that way.
Rome is one of the worst human beings in all broadcast media, and that’s saying a lot. I have worked in the field since the late 90s, and have met Rome a handful of times, been at the same functions, etc., and he is awful. Just awful…
I know Rome asked him about finding out his brother died on a cross country flight He should've been really upbeat when he told the story about finding out his brother fell to his death You're a real bright one aren't you
Something that just occurred to me about Owens death ..why the fuck was he even in WWE at that point to begin with since Brett was just not even two years removed from the organization after Vince screwed him… Just wonder why Owen didn’t show any loyalty
Owen actually did want to leave with Bret, Niedhart, and bulldog But Vince had refused to let Owen out of his contract so he couldn't leave and was basically stuck between a rock and a hard place pretty much.
"Not that you ever can" - hits home for me. I think Bret has incredible levels of emotional intelligence.
Indeed he does.

This was a tough time in Bret’s life: Dealing with Owen’s death, early end to his own career through injury and his marriage was breaking up.
Then the stroke not that long after
I have sympathy for him for his brothers death and his concussion that ended his career but not his marriage ending. That one was his own fault. He was sleeping around on his wife with countless women for several years and his wife was a sweet lady.
Also his Mum died around six months later.

he’s a strong man , lot of men commit suicide over less things. his stress definitely impacted his health but he’s a hell of a fighter , the lone survivor of the hart foundation
That's because Bret takes after his father, Stu. Stu Hart was as tough as they come. Always training. Making grown men squeal in his infamous dungeon.
"There's never a right time,to say goodbye." Bret Hart sang that song in '93.
Really? This is gold! These are the kind of facts I need to know.
His brother in 91, Owen, perfect, Bulldog, Pillman, parents, screw job, rude, don’t tell me Bret don’t have a right to be bitter

Yes it was a tough call either way we can’t bring Owen back the stunt was unnecessary and it didn’t need to happen

Alot of pain bret experience but the hitman still holding his ground I'm so proud to be one of his fans
If Bret had a Texas accent people would look at him differently. He's better than HBK by MILES
Agreed, both as a Wrestler and as a human being.
THE HITMAN... my favorite wrestler of all time... RIP Owen
I relate on the pacing. That shit is very therapeutic and you only realize when you’re put in a position like that..

RIP Owen ✝️
My childhood hero Sir bret hart the legend
I'm sorry Brett you found out that way no one deserves hhat. Owen was so talented

Which pretty much tells you Vinny Mac had a hand in killing Owen.

20:15 Naughty hora Keee 😂😂
Sorry for Brets loss. Never did like Jim Rome.
Why even bring this up at all poor Brett
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I couldn’t imagine what that was like for you Brett :(
Brett is sick of hearing it leave him alone Luke the Montreal screw job people always bring it up
Dude, why would you ask a question like that? Thats really messed up, it's tough to bring up with someone you are close to, let alone someone you see on T.V.
The interviewer asks it like how was your morning Brett?
It was in Miami when Owen died. I was 14 years old, and I had tickets to go.
People say he is bitter? The business took away sooo much from this man
I never knew bron breaker interviewed brett
I always a fan of Bret heart
Another time he said he was in the LA Airport and Eric Bishoff came up to him and told him the news.
RIP Owen.
That’s sad 😢
RIP Owen
So how exactly did he get the message while still on the plane? Especially back in 99
How could he find out on the plane?
He could have had a pager
That's fkd up. R.I.P. Owen
“Hey, A-RU-GU-LA…call him ‘Brenda’ see what he does to ya” ~ J. Everett
Funny, he always said before Bischoff was waiting for him when he got off the plane and told him. Guess he forgot
Where is your proof?
💔 😢 I love bret shame
I wonder if any passengers remember this 😢
I have ask, should they have waited to tell him after he landed? Or right away, even if it was on a flight?
Bret pre-stroke
Pre-stroke but post-CTE. He got hurt badly in late 1999, having had 3-4 concussions in one week.
It's still real to me DAMNIT!!
No phones worked but he found out that he died up in the air in the Era of little cellphones and no internet on planes... does this make sense? Who told him and how did they know
There have been phones in planes since forever. They didn’t work very well though
@@Truth3305 yea the phones on planes back then were a crap shoot even in first class mid flight. He probably got paged to contact someone he knew and then got the news that way.
I heard Vince Russo was on top and pushed Owen or told someone to push him it's that's true that's bs
😪
Sacrificed his own brother
Oh you're one of those. 🫏
Yea thats gotta be horrible to find out on a plane.
Sad thing is he'd be alive if vince let him leave after the montreal screwjob, but he wouldn't let him
❤❤❤❤

How come Bret sounds different here? His accent is barely noticeable.
Tell of plane ..and not driving
Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23
How do you find out on a plane.
That sucks
Ugh

Man this guy is always sad. That must be miserable for his family.
This guy is always complaining
Complaining about Losing his bro from a reckless careless preventable accident?

Rome asked him about finding out his brother died on a cross country flight
He should've been really upbeat when he told the story about finding out his brother fell to his death
You're a real bright one aren't you
lol u on the bret hart hate train even when he asked a question about his dead brother
He is complaining about How he found out about how his little Fell to to his death
And you, it seems, are always listening Nzungu.
He was actually doing an interview with a small town newspaper bitching about why is not the fake champion.
Dude they should've let him land first wtf
Something that just occurred to me about Owens death ..why the fuck was he even in WWE at that point to begin with since Brett was just not even two years removed from the organization after Vince screwed him… Just wonder why Owen didn’t show any loyalty
Maybe look it up? Owen had a contract with WWF, he would have been sued if he left. Owen was hoping to retire early and spend time with his family.
