same! I highly recommend you a series of videos by Al Snow, giving his wisdom. Its all available on youtube and by GCW / Hannibal. His interview and his masterclass he gave to the GCW roster are pure gold!
I agree. I had to skip over the other parts and was only interested in the Bret parts. Appreciate the upload but it would be a more pleasant listen if the interview wasn't cut up this way and we could hear each interview undivided.
Lol. I basically agree with him. They aren't all that way but many are. A lot of them are short and had little man syndrome. Modern day bodybuilders especially look freakish, unhealthy and unnatural. It's basically a sport now where whoever takes the most roids and diuretics to look a certain way on stage for an hour without dying wins. If bodybuilding was like living the Jack Lalanne-esque healthy lifestyle and being natural and living until age 96 then I'd be all for it but that is the opposite of what it actually is.
I can't condone that as someone who was passionate about weightlifting but to each his own, what Bret doesn't respect is that the overall charisma of a wrestler is really what gets them over, and less so about their work ethic, he only really cares about what he was a fan of (see the beginning of the interview), and he was a fan of the workers. I love a good wrestling match but the reason why Ric Flair is considered one of the GOATS, along with Hogan and others is not because of their work ability but because these guys had the "It" factor which sadly Bret had in a more limited capacity. Also I heard that Hogan could work, when he was in Japan he had some real "wrestling" matches, so I've heard or well read, most people just know him for his WWE/WCW stuff.
I always feel so bad for bret when he talks about owen, owen really was his best friend. But at the same time I’m glad that bret has all these happy and funny stories to tell about owen, because it helps strengthen the legacy of owen and how he was truly one of the few good guys in a business that had next to none
I like Brett. He seems like an honest guy and straight shooter but he also has a pretty dry and witty sense of humor if you bring up the right subject. He doesn't really disrespect anyone but he tells it like it is at least from his experience.
@@rustykuntz94 I get his point about Flair being a little bit repetitive for his in ring work even if he was wrestling a 45 minute to hour long match. A lot of his moves and antics were the same from year to year if you were familiar with him as a wrestling fan. That said, wrestling is very much about personality and promo's on the mic and being able to sell a story and feud and create heat. At least in my opinion. And Flair was the absolute best at that ever. Even non wrestling fans or marginal fans that I know play old Ric Flair clips from the 80s and early 90s and find them super entertaining, quotable, and hilarious.
Kevin Nash's best match he ever had was with Bret Hart. Hands down. Nothing against Kevin or anything but Bret could've had a competitive looking match with a broomstick, and the broom would've got over at the end of it. He was just that damn good. Once in a generation wrestler. Superb talent and a good dude too!
Same thoughts here. Bret always had the most believable matches and as he says himself, nobody sold a beating like he did. He always looked like he was being legit hurt. Sure, he’s considered an all time great but in 2023 I think he’s somehow become a little underrated
And yet, he never drew a dime and still holds the distinction for having main evented the worst drawing WWF PPV of all time, lol. Goes to show that in-ring skills mean jack shit.
Thanks for releasing this Sean. Was in grade school during Eastern, and high school when they changed to ECW. Always will cherish the magic and underground feeling with ECW.
Thanks for this one Sean. Your Tod Gordon book was outstanding. I wonder how much different ECW would've been had Tod stayed there. Bret Hart was also outstanding too.
When Bret Hart told he was more over than any other wrestlers in foreign countries, he ain't lying. As huge as Hogan was, it was Undertaker, Bret and Yokozuna who took the world by storm because of the established PR and media machines of WWF by 1992.
Yep and that helped the WWF survive. The US market went into a heavy decline for them in 1991 already, but in Europe and the UK for example they were at the start of a golden era of its own. A few years later they got big in the Middle East and India so many other places. Bret and Undertaker kept the lights on in Titan Tower, they carried the company through one of its most difficult eras.
It's definitely a lie. Here in Europe there was a massive wrestling boom going on and literally even the jobbers were over. Duggan had a single in the UK Charts even. Bret though was easily several leagues below Hogan, Taker, Savage, Legion of Doom and quite a few others. He overrated himself, which is always hilarious, considering he was the lowest drawing WWF Champion of all time in the 90's and set a ton of negative records that still stand today. Also the Hart Attack Tour 1994 famously was the first WWF Tour in Europe that wasn't a complete sellout.
I agree with Bret, I also was more about the worker wrestler being my favorite. Give me a hard and good worker and a guy good on the mic, and I'm sold. I never liked guys like Warrior was never believable to me. One of my all time favorites is Curt Henning, I watched him start as a kid in A.W.A.
What about Bret was believable? You believe a guy like Bret can beat a guy like Diesel or Undertaker in a fight? Try getting someone in a sharpshooter without their cooperation it’s not possible. If believability matters too you this isn’t the proper form of entertainment. Very few actual legit athletes doing anything possible without cooperation in this form of entertainment. Hulk Hogan at 6’6 300lbs juiced up beating someone is more believable to me than a 6’1 235lb juiced up Bret Hart. But that’s just me, if I’m fighting someone I’d choose Bret way before Hogan
Bret the only guy who I can listen to all day like watching a good movie or box series and not skipping any parts. Had to skip Tod Gordan parts have no interest in that. Would have preferred just Bret timeline.
Well, the thing is... The Freebirds - Michael Hayes, in particular - were LOVED in Philly. Even during their WCW run, they were cheered in Philly. I remember one night, on a WCW PPV in Philly, Tom Zenk tried his flying head scissor on Buddy Roberts. Michael Hayes reached over the ropes and cheap shotted him upside the head... and that Philly crowd ROARED in approval. They cheered so loud that Michael Hayes spun around to look at the crowd and completely froze. He was so surprised to hear the cheering that he couldn't think of what to do next.
Yeah I guess not. Sean said he usually had people in mind for each year depending on where they were on the card (he wanted people at or near the top) and (sadly) whether they’re still alive or not. Also they can’t be still working for WWE, they won’t let their people do stuff like this so it ends up limiting the pool of potential candidates.
@@anthonystanek1212 Oh yeah Ron Simmons talking about how he completely destroyed WCW's Business and became their worst drawing WCW World Champion of all time would've been hilarious 😂
Well, how many ladder matches weren't great, at least when wrestling was relevant from around 95 to 2010? You can name a ton of great ladder matches that don't include Shawn or Razor. So, with that in mind and regardless of your opinion of him, is Bret actually wrong?
Bret always calls SummerSlam “the SummerSlam” I was lucky enough to be at the old Wembley Stadium for SummerSlam 92 and it was a long day! 250+ mile drive from Plymouth to London and after Bret’s match it took a few hrs to get out of Wembley’s car park and got back to Plymouth (home) at 7:30am the following day
@@danielburger1775 Wrong. Hogan just recently claimed once again it happened in 1992 and it is exactyl as sdot7436 (who probably heard Jim Cornette laughing his ass off about it) said. And there's everything wrong about it. Even "Wembley Arena 1994" doesn't work, because the album, under the title American Made, was already on the german market (just in time for the WCW Hulkamania 1994 Tour), before he even went to England. The Cowell claim is also just as fake as his claim it was produced in England. It was recorded in Florida at Morrisound Studios by most of the stuff and the only producers credited are Jimmy Hart, Hogan, Linda and JJ Maguire. Try harder next time...
@@ShadowAngel1860 I guess people have to check their facts before they argue with you as you know you’re stuff! The only info you left out was what Hulk ate for lunch and what he drove to the studio (most likely one of his Harleys)
One thing about Brett when it came to his promos is he seemed to feed off of his opponent. If he was up against a good worker with decent to great mic skills, Brett could cut a great promo. His promos against Austin and HBK were some of his best. If his opponent was either a bad worker or sucked on the mic chances are Bretts promos wouldnt be that entertaining.
No, Bret always sucked on the mic. It says a lot when this arrogant liar rates himself a 4 out of 10 there, when other times he either lies about his non-existing accomplishments or actually does believe he is the greatest of all time.
The reason why flare, and Hogan never would have been the main event at wrestlemania at that time was because Hulk Hogan is this huge muscular larger than life, character, and Ric Flair at the time kind of had a dad bod. It was unrealistic to think that flair would have lasted in the ring if it was real. It was just not believable.
Great stuffs here to listen to, Hart and Michaels were so similar, both started out mainly as tag guys, eventually broke off from those tags and became stars after that, and both had what I call "duds" in their teams, or well guys that didn't make it, sadly, Jannetty and Neidhart, ironically those guys had most of their success in tags, whereas their partners had the most success as singles, no disrespect, I just think that some guys were overrated but it's too easy to trigger people, so I don't speak about it often.
Hogan Flair didnt work in 92 because it was the NWA fans that wanted to see their guy VS Hulk. It happened in WWF with watered down non horseman Flair and WWF booking. And neither guy was still a big draw. Put this feud in NWA in 86 or 87 it wouldve been huge
Hogan wouldn't have worked in NWA 86 completely different product then what he was used too and too big of a star to change his ways. The match will always be huge on paper but it just didn't work.
Watered down? Yeah he wasn't a Horseman, but he had Bobby Heenan, the real world title, some awesome promos, and winning the Rumble after being in it for over an hour. How is that watered down?
*There was no one/single reason Hogan/Flair didn't work in 1992, there were a couple of reasons- firstly, Flair was booked as a goof off the street walking around with a fake world title belt claiming to be real world champion, which was hokey as heck. Secondly, WWE fans had been conditioned to reject all things JCP/WCW for the past four or five years.*
At SummerSlam 92 I wanted to see the Undertaker and the match my mum remembers is the “pretty boy match” as she called it aka Shawn Michaels Vs Rick Martel
2:33:50 anyone have any guesses as to who the other 4 names are for potential champions? Maybe Undertaker and Razor were on there? I doubt Shawn Michaels was in that discussion yet but who knows
Bret Hart Tito Santana They were the main two guys that Vince wanted to go with. If the WWF were gonna go into Mexico and Central/South America it would've been Tito. Since they went into Europe and Canada more they went with Bret cause he was very popular there. That's probably the main reason Bret was elevated. That and his age cause he was in his early 30s at the time
Hogan Flair did happen in house shows. There is a camcorder bootleg of one of them. The matches SUCKED. Nobody willing to appear in jeopardy or be forced to sell his opponents signature offense.
Bret’s take on Female Referee really aged poorly here. The old “she’s too ugly to rape” defense. Horrible, especially since Vince paid millions in a settlement over the event since. Bret coming off like the closed minded bitter guy as usual.
So had the Warrior not had been fired and after he and Macho would have more than likely beat Flair and Razor at Survivor series would then transition into a program with Bret Hart leading up to a Royal Rumble clean tap out??? Make it make sense.😂
I love Brets dry sense of humor...it's a shame WWF in 92 was a shit show with roster turnover....had Jake the Snake stayed a survivor series 92 main w a red hit Jake as heel and Bret Babyface champ would have been better than the Bret vs Shawn match as Shawn wasn't main event level at that time.
it's still a questionable finish either way you look at it. although i understood that it was jake's idea so he can be written off tv since he was on the outs.
Bret is like the guy who invades someone's country, kicks out or puts the people in camps who had been living there for millennia, continues to take more and more land illegally, and then cries loudly when they fight back. "Nothing is my fault! I'm being persecuted!!"
did you have to mention the Bills v the [Racial Epithet]? Like I love wrestling but I hate that ancestral memory!!! (JK I can't thank you enough for uploading your library)
This timeline of ECW, really? What did they do perform in front of 1-2k ppl a week this year and most of their existence? Why dedicate a timeline? Idk I just don’t get the celebration of a company no one watched, couldn’t make it on TV, never sold PPV, no one in company made $$$, company never made $$$… How about a timeline showing the bounced checks and complete failure of a company. In no other industry could w company where no one made money, never turned a profit, and had a customer base of 2-3k ppl be viewed as a success or worse celebrated.
“Sometimes guys can end up with pretty skanky women… Unlike me who only cheated on my wife with fuckin dimepieces because I’m the best there is, was, or ever will be” - Bret Hart (allegedly)
Im sorry...bret hart was a great technical wrestler but he was boring as hell too. He talks about flair doing the same match but ol bret did too. The way he refers to himself u would think the business was booming when he was the champ. Truth is it wasnt. He wasnt a draw. The business was floundering and thats why vince let him go and flipped the script. He was a great worker but wrestling is more than working. He never made me flip the channel to watch him. Not like the nwo or stone cold or hulk hogan or dx the rock and in his mind he was the most important person ever to walk the face of the earth
Brett buried his head in the sand and didn’t want to see…. As a national hero and role model to millions he should be fully aware that Hulk was absolutely right to deny any and all drug use. He was absolutely juiced while the bulldogs were there, you can see his fat bloated face… he got clean himself later but that push he got was at Owen’s expense. “That would’ve ruined my life, to go back into a tag”…. Is this the most hypocritical resentful person to ever get a push much bigger than he should ever have gotten?
Yes it is. It's embarrassing that he hates Hogan when the only reason he has any money is because he followed Hogan around company to company. It would've been great to see him crawl back to WWF and join the Kiss My Ass Club, but that WCW money saved his life.
Is Brett not the biggest hypocrite ever? Everything he says contradicts something he’ll say minutes later….. I couldn’t be a cowboy…. Then lonesome dove the tv show came along….. The new generation came about after all the big stars left…. And I became the biggest name in the company…as if he was “new” in anyway…. Davey was pretty over in the UK, nearly as much as me…😂 Even that match was made to out Brett over and like Davey was lucky to scrape through to a win, then he had the moment at the end where Davey and Brett’s sister were pleading with Brett for a hug and he finally embraced them making sure he got the face turn back into some merch sales… He has to be the most delusional guy in the world…
I love hearing Bret I could listen to him talk wrestling for hours

At SummerSlam 92 I wanted to see the Undertaker and the match my mum remembers is the “pretty boy match” as she called it aka Shawn Michaels Vs Rick Martel
Two guys renowned for their honesty....
Matt Bourne was "a bit of a rascal" 😆
2:33:50 anyone have any guesses as to who the other 4 names are for potential champions? Maybe Undertaker and Razor were on there? I doubt Shawn Michaels was in that discussion yet but who knows
If I remember rightly Warrior was one but don’t hold me to that
Bret Hart
Tito Santana
They were the main two guys that Vince wanted to go with. If the WWF were gonna go into Mexico and Central/South America it would've been Tito.
Since they went into Europe and Canada more they went with Bret cause he was very popular there.
That's probably the main reason Bret was elevated. That and his age cause he was in his early 30s at the time
I think Crush was on that list too. I can see the company getting behind him based on his physique alone.
At the start I thought todd was talking about Tony kahn booking
That banzai drop Duggan took was stiff as a board
Hogan Flair did happen in house shows. There is a camcorder bootleg of one of them. The matches SUCKED. Nobody willing to appear in jeopardy or be forced to sell his opponents signature offense.
Yep, hence why Vince wanted no part of that for being a main event at Mania
Bret’s take on Female Referee really aged poorly here. The old “she’s too ugly to rape” defense. Horrible, especially since Vince paid millions in a settlement over the event since.
Bret coming off like the closed minded bitter guy as usual.
Can’t believe ECW got a free night of Tatsumi Fujinami and booked him against the BOUNCER?!!
1995 Is The Hitman's Best Year.
Will you post Tod Gordon 93 Timeline?
So had the Warrior not had been fired and after he and Macho would have more than likely beat Flair and Razor at Survivor series would then transition into a program with Bret Hart leading up to a Royal Rumble clean tap out??? Make it make sense.😂
I love Brets dry sense of humor...it's a shame WWF in 92 was a shit show with roster turnover....had Jake the Snake stayed a survivor series 92 main w a red hit Jake as heel and Bret Babyface champ would have been better than the Bret vs Shawn match as Shawn wasn't main event level at that time.
Taste this pint for me fella.... IT'S BITTER!!!
It's a dumb decision to upload interviews together. Who thought that it was a good idea to upload these interviews intertwined with each other?
can tod mumble more?
By the way, this is so stupid that I have to watch that other guy when I’m trying to watch a Bret Harte interview
Need subtitles to understand Todd
Bret is confused, Taker piledrove Jake outside the ring rolled him into the ring and got the 1-2-3.
it's still a questionable finish either way you look at it. although i understood that it was jake's idea so he can be written off tv since he was on the outs.
Bret is like the guy who invades someone's country, kicks out or puts the people in camps who had been living there for millennia, continues to take more and more land illegally, and then cries loudly when they fight back. "Nothing is my fault! I'm being persecuted!!"
WTF are you talking about? 😂😂😂
Bret more over in England than Davey boy? Nah!
He definitely was.
Bret dodging talking about the ring boy scandal like he dodged being faithful to his ex wife.
Did you even read his book?
3:47 TK before TK
The worst thing to ever happen to Bret was shoot interviews 😂
Hate these two into one stuff....doesn't work
Todd Margera
Was this around the time Hogan was in Wembley? Lol
YEs
did you have to mention the Bills v the [Racial Epithet]? Like I love wrestling but I hate that ancestral memory!!! (JK I can't thank you enough for uploading your library)
2:26:43 if that’s all he was ever going for he overshot his mark lol so congratulations Todd
😮
This timeline of ECW, really? What did they do perform in front of 1-2k ppl a week this year and most of their existence? Why dedicate a timeline? Idk I just don’t get the celebration of a company no one watched, couldn’t make it on TV, never sold PPV, no one in company made $$$, company never made $$$…
How about a timeline showing the bounced checks and complete failure of a company. In no other industry could w company where no one made money, never turned a profit, and had a customer base of 2-3k ppl be viewed as a success or worse celebrated.
😂😂😂 A few hundred, at the most. They rarely got to 1500 at their peak.
They were doing bar shows at this point.
damn bret was literally giving out legacies and careers to jackasses that didnt deserve any time in the ring.
“Sometimes guys can end up with pretty skanky women… Unlike me who only cheated on my wife with fuckin dimepieces because I’m the best there is, was, or ever will be” - Bret Hart (allegedly)
That part in biography annoyed the fuck out of me. Especially when he feels bad about and still does it!
1:03:02 Bret is right about bodybuilders and runway models are just walking clothes hangers
DOINK
ECW was a cancer on wrestling. All that is wrong and dumb about it.
Im sorry...bret hart was a great technical wrestler but he was boring as hell too. He talks about flair doing the same match but ol bret did too. The way he refers to himself u would think the business was booming when he was the champ. Truth is it wasnt. He wasnt a draw. The business was floundering and thats why vince let him go and flipped the script. He was a great worker but wrestling is more than working. He never made me flip the channel to watch him. Not like the nwo or stone cold or hulk hogan or dx the rock and in his mind he was the most important person ever to walk the face of the earth
Brett buried his head in the sand and didn’t want to see….
As a national hero and role model to millions he should be fully aware that Hulk was absolutely right to deny any and all drug use.
He was absolutely juiced while the bulldogs were there, you can see his fat bloated face… he got clean himself later but that push he got was at Owen’s expense.
“That would’ve ruined my life, to go back into a tag”….
Is this the most hypocritical resentful person to ever get a push much bigger than he should ever have gotten?
Yes it is. It's embarrassing that he hates Hogan when the only reason he has any money is because he followed Hogan around company to company. It would've been great to see him crawl back to WWF and join the Kiss My Ass Club, but that WCW money saved his life.
@@RG-lr4pk 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍
Is Brett not the biggest hypocrite ever?
Everything he says contradicts something he’ll say minutes later…..
I couldn’t be a cowboy…. Then lonesome dove the tv show came along…..
The new generation came about after all the big stars left…. And I became the biggest name in the company…as if he was “new” in anyway….
Davey was pretty over in the UK, nearly as much as me…😂
Even that match was made to out Brett over and like Davey was lucky to scrape through to a win, then he had the moment at the end where Davey and Brett’s sister were pleading with Brett for a hug and he finally embraced them making sure he got the face turn back into some merch sales…
He has to be the most delusional guy in the world…
Lmfao how you gonna delete vids just to reupload them on another timer. 🤣 Instant dislike and report for spam.
When did we first release "TIMELINE Wrestling | 1992 | Bret Hart (WWF) & Tod Gordon (ECW)" ?
