Brets run from 92 to 97 was legendary. So many classic matches. Mic skills were really underrated too, especially with his heel run. Hes on my mount rushmore
When it comes to all his matches and I could pick one it would be 92 Wembley stadium one of the greatest crowd reaction and matches ever really for all those people who had there eyes on one match they were so invested crazy
I just finished Bret's book and he really let people know how great it was working with Taker. That match in the UK is also talked about. He praised Taker in his great abilities as a worker. They must have had so many moments and road stories they could share if they choose to.
The 96 Rumble match for the title is criminally underrated, it really was the first time you could say "Wow Undertaker can actually wrestle and not just pulverize guys."
Yes it was. Bret was my guy but loved Taker. I obviously knew it was a work at the time just not that clued in on how the work actually works...but I remember not being able to figure it out, I wanted Bret to win but couldn't see how they could have a match where Taker didn't dominate because of his character. The finish stunk, but the match really had me on edge of seat start to finish, had no idea what was going to happen.
In the ring , not overall, lack mic skills , because that's all he really say . He could of add if you want to be the best beat bret. When it comes the ring I am the king.
The fact the night of the Over The Edge PPV where Owen died, that Taker left the building to fly up to Calgary to be with Bret speaks volumes on the person Mark is, and their friendship. That's why he wasn't at Raw the next night for the tribute show.
That was reported by the torch at the time. I've never seen Bret or Undertaker mention this. It's not in Brets book either. I know having an evil Undertaker on the show wouldn't have been a good look.
I grew up watching Bret Hart. I appreciated the technical prowess he had, and as he got to the mid 90s, his wrestling got better. When he carried British Bulldog through their SummerSlam '92 match and it was still the best match on the card, that shows you the level of talent he had.
The hitman with the leather jacket, pink visor shades and the winged eagle belt. This was THE world champ for me growing up. I'm glad you guys were close outside the ring. My 2 fav wrestlers growing up💯☝️
Bret took his art and craft very seriously, it’s why his matches have aged so well … you can watch a Bret Hart match today and still spot the subtle nuances he added to his matches. Everything he did mattered, his selling was incredible, he always looked like he’d been through a war, it mattered to him when he won or lost and no one has ever made a buckle bump (back or chest) look as good as Bret made them.
@@bb-gc2tx you have severe self esteem and anger issues! You know what's actually pathetic? You getting mad at an expression that's used since ever! GTFO kid!
The Hitman Hart is one of the most charismatic, fascinating and plain unique characters ever...Not just a legendary in ring worker but also "character"...From the bad ass outfit (pants, jacket, glasses) to his theme entrance music to the way He was walking to the ring to his vastly UNDERRATED Mic Skills...The guy was one of a kind and totally ahead of his time (He made Pink looking cool on a guy). Not forgetting the fact He started as Tag wrestler in the WWF and got insane chemistry with the late Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (RIP) and delifvered five stars classic as a tag team (like SummerSlam '90 title' match against Demolition)...All in all we've been blessed as fans to have such a versatile and unique pro wrestler like Bret Hart in both 80s & 90s...Absolute ICON.
To me, Bret/Undertaker matches were the most fantastic . Two completely different styles that made magic and brought out things in each other. My two favourite for sure.
I remember that 1992 Bret vs Undertaker match. Bret used gravity against Undertaker. Backbreaker, Atomic Drop, Dragon screw leg whip, top rope clothesline to countering the 2nd old School attempt into a top rope arm drag
The Frankenstein Undertaker vs. Bret HART worked so well, you had the believability on both sides, Undertaker being worked down by body part and Undertaker then trying to counter and becoming more and more of a monster as the match would go on. Pure story telling in every way and the UK matches off TV were always truly spectacular. Bret vs. Undertaker, Yokozuna vs. Undertaker and more truly were great. The UK 45 minute match we all had an amazing night and you both got such an amazing standing ovation as you both sold the hell out of everything.
I couldn't agree more with Mark on story telling. That is what is MAJORLY lacking with today's talent. They really need to slow it down more, forget doing all the high spots save it for when it's important, and tell a story with your opponent. It not only enhances you but also your opponent. Simply gestures like what they explained in Bret holding his head down after Taker sits up. That denotes frustration after everything you've been trying to do to win the match. We need FAR more of that again because it's vital to getting a program over. Especially, if you've been working with someone for a while. The crowd is to smart now a days to not do that in one's matches.
Every time I watch this podcast I just get goose bumps. I'm 42 yrs old and have been an Undertaker fan since his first match against Hogan way back at the 91 Survivor Series. Mark Calaway is the Undertaker. I don't want to meet many celebrities but Mr Calaway is definitely someone I would like to watch a match with and chop it up. Especially my fav match Taker vs HBK the first Hell in a Cell.
Folks talk about mount Rushmore’s in sports, entertainment, wrestling etc etc. I love those conversations since even if you totally TOTALLY disagree with someone on a pick, well it’s still true to them so that’s peace. For me in terms of that Rushmore of wrestling I have a few different lists due to the different aspects of wrestling. In ring, heels, mic work etc etc. on just sheer “I’ll pay my money to see these guys because of their overall body of work” I can’t leave Taker, Shawn or Bret off that list. I can add Harley or Steamboat or Flair, currently Gunther(but too soon for the all time lists) and a few others. But give me Taker, Shawn, Bret and I’m a happy dude. Shawn to me is the greatest blend of offense and selling. Bret is the master tactician, Taker is just the guy you can’t not awe at and/or fear. Thank you all for years of tremendous work
The best match between them in my opinion is the one they had at One Night Only UK. That was awesome. They also had a good match in Madison Square garden in 1992. I’ll always remember the beautiful snap suplex Bret executed on the Undertaker.
Bret was born into a wrestling family and had it drilled into him from as soon as his father felt he could put him in a hold. Wrestling was his family business, his art, practically his religion. When it came to the techniques and ring psychology, how to speak and tell a story with your actions and body in a wrestling match, Bret truly grokked it more than possibly any other person in the business. That's why promos and mic work were never his strongest suits. English was his second language. Wrestling is his first. And he remains my favorite wrestler to this day.
"When I got the chance to start working with Bret" I haven't watched wrestling since the 90's there's no debating which one of these guys had a more famed, illustrious career. The fact that he still after all these years frames that part of his career speaks volumes as to A: the Hitman's skill and cloutat the time. And B: this dude with probably the most successful, beloved career in that industry.... is that way because of his ability to.... it's hard to summarize. Humble 30 years later one of the best ever.... maybe the best
If Bret is considered one the best, Curt Henning has to be up near the top. Both pure technical wrestlers. Another is Kurt Angle. All 3 are at the top of the mountain
I grew up watching these guys. Bret heart and my dad were my 2 idols. Bret heart was the coolest for me and undertaker had the best entrances. Now the undertaker is My oldest sons hero and undertaker and the hit man are friends. Its pretty cool for me
Bret hart was truly the best wrestler I've seen.. he was a wrestling purist and a master technician with 100% believability.. really missed him after 98 screw job.. would have been great to see bret vs curt angle or brrt vs rock
OMG this vid made me realized how much Taker improved in the ring in the late 90's. Once he had the american badass persona perfected he had banger after banger with Angle and the Rock and got even better after that.
I always liked to watch The Undertaker. He will always be my Nr 1 wrestler. And those podcast are so interesting to see and to hear what Mister Calaway have to tell. Unfortunately I will never see you live in person because I'm from Europe. But i want you to know Sir Calaway i will always enjoy your podcast or some WWE Videos on Yt. You are my childhero. #thankyoumarkcalaway #thankyoutaker #Phenom #30jears #legend
@@paulcowlishaw Perhaps if it had happened in the New Generation Era, it would have broken the winning streak, but if it had happened in the Attitude Era or Ruthless Aggression Era, Taker would have defeated Bret Hart.
Taker had two really good matches with Razor Ramon in 1992 and 1993. They used to be here on UA-cam but they're gone now unfortunately. It's a shame those two didn't work more together while Hall was in WWE.
I feel like a big dark wooden table is needed in this room for the podcast. Especially with guests. Show keeps getting better and better but i just keep thinking there should be a table there lol.
This should make all the Taker lovers and Shawn Lovers but Bret Haters very confused now. If a REAL worker like Undertaker compliments Bret Hart -- like 90% of the industry and maybe 70% of the Wrestling fandom do -- then that pretty much means you can take Bret being a Legend of Legends to the bank.
A lot of the best wrestlers of that time either like Bret or at least respect him. Flair isn’t a big fan, but he admits he was a great wrestler. The Hitman made so many careers. Even Shawn Michaels’ career was elevated several times by Bret. He was one of the few guys who wanted to work with Shawn early on, going back to the tag team days. He saw the talent. If I’m a wrestling company, I’d hire Bret and Undertaker as both scouts and trainers. Those guys recognize talent and understand psychology. Mark was able to get a Frankenstein gimmick over in multiple eras. Even at a time when everything had to be reality based, Taker was a top guy. Sure, he evolved the character, but except for the biker gimmick, he was still playing a dead guy with supernatural powers. That on paper shouldn’t have worked in the late 90s and early 2000s, but he made it work. And Bret helped. He knew how to accentuate Mark’s talent.
Ames Iowa 2004, my first wrestling show. Itnwasnt televised. That night changed my perspective, the electricity in the air, the people were amazing. It felt like an oasis if sorts. And since the curtain has been pulled back wrestling became more addictive to watch. Mark Henry vs Chris Jericho, that match was awesome! To see Mark Henry show off his strength? You felt the impact of his slams nomatter where you were. Randy Orton (intercontinental champion) vs RVD, i hated Orton but like HHH he turned me a fan Trish Stratus vs Lita Christian, Test, Scott Steiner vs The Dudleys table match. Dvon jumped in the crowd, signed a piece of the table right in front of this kid wearing a 3D jersey and his dad. I shook his hand and screamed much love like an idiot. I wanted to screamt Testify! The mainevent though, I got to see Booker T vs Kane. I hate that memories of that event srent exactly clear but ill fight my hardest. I wonder if there are any pictures.
I think of original Taker more like a michael Meyers type character that just kept coming, and if you could get him down hed sit up. Like the formula for Kane of 97 and 98
I remember watching the msg match with bret as a kid and first time thinking, wow, undertaker had an awesome match. Then next month it was Taker vs Bulldog and match wasnt as good, showing oh, Bret made the match what it was. Undertaker improved as time went on but could look back now and , as most do, see how Bret was just excellent at match layouts.
One Night Only 1997 at the Birmingham NEC Arena. UK only available Pay-Per-View. They tore the entire house down! And imo the best match they ever had between each other.

I don't have Instagram any longer, or I would ❤

Dont forget SummerSlam 91 vs Mr Perfect. A classic😊
@@vincentvega1979 The 93 KOTR match with perfect was great also.
Best there is,
Best there was,
Best there ever will be.
When it comes to all his matches and I could pick one it would be 92 Wembley stadium one of the greatest crowd reaction and matches ever really for all those people who had there eyes on one match they were so invested crazy

Bret was an artist, pure and simple. I consider him to be THE perfect wrestler.

Being consoled by the Undertaker after a tragic death in the family sounds like a sick joke…
What happened to Owen should have never happened & Vince should have paid Martha a hell of a lot more. She should have been paid $50,000,000.00.
That was reported by the torch at the time. I've never seen Bret or Undertaker mention this. It's not in Brets book either. I know having an evil Undertaker on the show wouldn't have been a good look.
@@paulearle3780 Yeah wasn't that during literally peak Ministry Undertaker?
@shortyg1018 corporate ministry I think.
Bret made me realise that wrestling is an art form.
Most mordern wrestlers, play video games not art

@alaistairhamilton8838 he carried every match even with shawn and taker
@alaistairhamilton8838 so he claims.
Bret was truly amazing. And when he worked with Taker i loved it! Because he brought something out of Taker we never seen.

It was One Night Only 1997 in England. I watched it live! My dad bought me the PPV. Good times.
The UK crowds bring something the wrestlers are not used to in terms of reactions and chanting.
Forgit all about that match
They are still close friends to this day,and its great Bret gets his flowers from Mark and other people!
does he really get his flowers??? the dumbest term created any guy who uses that term is pathetic

That would be AWESOME
Bret and undertaker gave me some great childhood memories.
Bret Hart might be the Smoothest Wrestler I’ve Ever Seen And I wasn’t even alive when he wrestled…
Could watch Bret and Taker wrestle forever, such great chemistry.
Two of my favourite wrestlers. Taker should get the hitman to come on his show. It would be awesome
Frankenstein is actually a good comparison. A really good one.
I remember that 1992 Bret vs Undertaker match. Bret used gravity against Undertaker. Backbreaker, Atomic Drop, Dragon screw leg whip, top rope clothesline to countering the 2nd old School attempt into a top rope arm drag
Bret vs Undertaker on summerslam 97 is one of the best wrestling matches of taker's career.
Underrated
Just saw a video of Bret talking about the SummerSlam match. Bret considers the match one of his five best.

I've always had Undertaker chemistry with Brett Hart and kurt Angel. It's a pity he didn't face them at WrestleMania
Hart always looked like he was measuring up his opponents, and his responses were measured. You never got the feeling that Hart was out of control.
I Miss those amazing matches in the 90`s It is fun watching everyone talk about it we finally get to know the back stories of these epic WWF moments
Bret the Hitman Hart was the greatest of all time for me had fantastic matches with everyone especially loved his 1997 heel turn
