Every time Bret tells a story, he talks about everything in great detail. He doesn’t get enough credit for that.
100%. Listening to Bret talk about his career is not only fascinating, but it’s also a masterclass in how to publicly speak and captivate an entire audience. He’s a class guy and that’s nice (from a fan POV) that he is that way. He was raised correctly.
"I'm gonna lead you through the whole match step by step, move for move, and we're gonna have the best match of all time whether you like it or not."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Bret Hart is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
PREACH!
Shawn would have probably kicked Davey on the ground if he screwed up.
Not only was Bret arguably the greatest wrestler in the ring..But he deserves a lot of credit for helping birth the Attitude Era as well..Watch his heel turn manifest in 97 leading up to WrestleMania 13, it felt so real
Stone Cold and I agree. Steve Austin would have still been the champ and the headliner. But not as big as he was without Bret Hart.
1997 was by far Bret's best year. Would've love to see him during the peak of the Attitude Era.
It’s such a shame he left cause there were some great matches for him on the horizon. I still think Bret would have been the one to put Austin over at Mania
@@Bobbywoodhogan Right, if you actually look at 1997, they didn't have anyone for Bret to face outside of Shawn Austin and Taker...Fast forward to 2000 and you've got Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Benoit, The Rock, Kane, Triple H..The roster just got a lot deeper
@@michaelburke7978 ☝🏿
He really is the Hitman. He shoots on everyone.
some how bret looks healthier, younger than he did 5 yrs ago..
Because he let all that BS go
I guess recovery from a stroke can take time
@@Midge-xn9tp that's very true
No more demons weighing him down
Maybe because this is an old clip
He guided Bulldog throughout the entire match, absolutely, but don't take anything away from what Bulldog contributed to the match. Considering the circumstances, it defied belief that they both delivered a wrestling masterpiece and, imo, the greatest match ever.
The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be
except for big show, booker t, titus o’neill & ‘the ratings bonanza’ david otunga
SS92 is one of my finest memories as a WWE kid fan from England I was 6 years old. To this day no Summerslam has been able to match that PPV it really still stands out to this day.
Damn I love this man, since I was 8 years old.
Bret = guy doing all the work for the project
Bulldog = always distracted guy but talented
Grade = A
If only Davey had stayed away from roids and coke, imagine how far he could have gone.
This guy is a joy to watch, inside or outside of the ring. There will never be another Brett Hart.
Amen to that!
Bret surely has to be the most authentic man in wrestling. I have heard him tell these stories so many times in different places, and never once does his story or any of the details change. You can tell that he always speaks the truth and somehow went through a career in thr wrestling business without a single blemish on his integrity as a human being. As well as being one of the very best technical wrestlers of all time, Bret truly is a hero. Thank you, Hitman!
I'm so annoyed that new fans listen to each other and peg him as a whiner and can't stop talking about Goldberg without knowing what Bret went through in his career and what he sacrificed for wrestling they would be lucky to lace his fucking boots 🤟🏽.
I’m always surprised no one has hired Bret as a road agent or behind the scenes guy. He’s like the Sigmund Freud of ring psychology.
Had Bret not left the WWF in 1997, I would imagine that he would have been in that kind of role as part of the twenty year contract.
Bitter old man
@@bitesthedust exactly
@@deadish2644 if I had a company constantly screw me out of enjoying the job I have, I’d be bitter too.
They had another match at In Your House and that was just as good of a match as the first but this time blood was involved. Fast forward to Wrestlemania 13 with Stone Cold. I believe thats how he got the idea of drawing blood with Stone Cold because him & Bulldog’s 2nd match…they drew blood. Interesting to know that Bret was the architect of these classic matches.
And here i am, watching this, getting ready to watch Bret vs Bulldog. Pro wrestling art at its finest!
I had the VHS tape of Shawn V Bret's ladder match - was also in the first issue of WWF magazine I bought. Bret V Davey Boy is still one of my favourite matches
I’ve heard Bret tell these stories. Like you said, he doesn’t change them, he sticks with them. Having met him personally, Bret presents himself as an kind, authentic person who truly appreciates his fans. When I see him, he always has a warm smile for me. To me, the name Bret Hart is synonymous with the word legend.
When he won the IC belt from Perfect, he did drop the belt to the Mountie. He won it back from Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania 8
I was there that night, probably one of the best nights I had. The stories he told were amazing especially of Andre, if it ever comes around please show the clip of the stories of Andre towards the end of the night. Awe inspiring and quite saddening.
There will never be an in ring general then Bret Hart. He could have an amazing match even with a stunt granny
Agree, I think Austin would be 2nd.
Perfect comment.
What.... dont say stunt granny, pick someone or something thats shit. Being a stunt granny is pretty miraculous if you ask me. Also there have been many ring generals.. Maybe none better then him but definitely not the only ring general ever..
@@GlennDubski88 You sir, missed my reference. But it's all good
Taker....
Brilliant! One thing about this guy is his morals. This "boomerang" storyline tells us that it's not just about winning something that we can see, but winning the most important thing that we cannot see, and that is the heart of the fans which is more glorious than winning the belt.
"Im focked. Im focked" - Davy Boy Smith
yeah 72 hours of good cocaine will have you fooked for sure
@@kyle1m 😂
Fooked*
Bret Hart was always about the business. He's amazing. When he lose, he wants to make sure that the other guy looks good, storyline wise.
Got to respect the man.
The only time he decided to do business for himself was the one time he couldn’t afford to.
Even with Montreal he was mostly pissed that they couldn’t put on the match he wanted, he had this great match that and the match we saw was only the very beginning of the real match. Same thing with Yokozuna at mania 9 he was pissed that Yoko got tired and cut like 5-7 minutes. So he gets screwed over by Vince, hogan, and HBK and he still mostly is pissed about the fact that he couldn’t put his real match on.
@@wolfpacsyxx Yea man. Also, His legacy will always be intact. At times, ppl say that he look "bitter" and all but his stories stays generally the same despite there's hot n cold over the years.
The saying that you must love what you do. I think he is the only wrestler that actually loves what he do.
Zac Adam Morrison to me it is clear cut that he was just the best in the ring, best psychology best story teller, I think because he was who he portrayed so he was very very authentic and he made a many of guys’ careers or helped at least.
@@wolfpacsyxx I agree 🥰
I remember sitting at Wembley stadium watching this..was great to be part of wwf history before it became wwe
To be fair a 72hr sesh, then a trans Atlantic flight, then all the media then going to the ring and pulling off that match. Davey boy was a beast 💪.
If only he could of got them issues in check 😔 could of had so much more glory in the buainess
Could u imagine if the Hart family and wrestlers like them had bought WCW and how far they could have taken WCW.
this is why bret hart is respected his ring psychology is phenomenal he said its important to win but its also important to lose
Bret and HBK carried WWE during the attitude era because it was Bret who bought me back to wrestling after I quit watching for a while.
They kick started it, but neither were in the attitude era for the majority of its period. Stone cold, Rock, Undertaker, HHH, Man Kind etc. were the torch bearers.
Bret always had a creative mindset.. he would work wonders on the creative team today
Bret's definitely the most popular wrestler in Ireland. Best in-ring creator of all time.
Shawn always said that he never thought that Bret respected him or saw him as good enough to wrestle. Something like that. Perhaps this Summer Slam was one of those times he felt Bret didn’t want to wrestle him. Maybe he took it personally.
Correct Shawn wanted brets approval as his equal.
You might be onto something there, HBK always seemed to everything personally and with Brets no nonsense approach, maybe that's what he couldn't get his head around
I think Shawn being eight years younger (27 years old in 1992) than Bret Hart was understanding of the situation and he seemed to handle it professionally. Despite Shawn's strong singles push in 1992, Bret vs British Bulldog in England was clearly the better draw as both those guys were more established. Plus, Bret was showing signs of amazing potential to finally be a main-event star and was very popular, so Shawn wasn't really in a position to complain and was likely happy to be getting any kind of push at all.
@@only1icon1801 bret and shawn are like ned start jaime lannister.
I'm not sure what you mean... Bret picked Shawn for the ladder match. It wasn't Bret's decision to do Wembley with Davey. I don't understand your point when Bret clearly respected Shawn as a wrestler & personally picked him for the ladder match.
Mick Foley & Bret Hart are such good storytellers!
God Bret is the man he says he’s great and he is
He is the greatest no doubt
@Joe Runstedler for him to say that he was more popular in England than Davey he is full of shit on that one every wrestling fan in England at that time was behind Davey.
The best there is, the best there was and the BEST there ever will be.
My childhood hero, Brets looking much better recently too. Great video!
It’s amazing how Bret shapes the perception of winning through losing and the way he amazingly lost was nothing short but brilliant in his one of his best wrestling performances ever ..Now that’s leadership that’s why he is the goat 🐐 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️😍😍
SummerSlam 1992 was second pay-per-view I ever saw and it was awesome I got tape was awesome
Couple years later I got to meet Bret Hart is SummerSlam 1995 super nice guy I need to make a dark side of the Ring episode on Stampede Wrestling
Bret Hart is the greatest professional wrestler in the world.
The best there is the best there was the best there ever will be
How many "greatest matches in WWF history" has Bret been in? Bret vs. Bulldog, submission match vs. Stone Cold, cage match vs. Owen, 60-minute match vs. Shawn, Bret vs. Hennig... how many more are there? How many "greatest" matches did Hogan have? I doubt he had one. WM3 he slammed Andre, but Andre couldn't even move at that point.
The matches he had with warrior and rock are up there more for the theatrics. Bret is definitely the goat wrestler though imo
Yep, I remember watching that match with Bull dog on TV it was Brilliant! BRET is really good at relizing how he thinks a match should turn out! Brilliant!👏👏👏
I could listen to this man for hours and hours just as i´ve watched him for hours and hours, he really is the best ..
To Brets point now that I think back on that match. Watching, there was that real feeling of who was gonna win!. Lol it tickles me thinking how intense we were into it as fans and even though, Davey was "at home" the hitman was just the kind of wrestler just thinking back who could go into someone's backyard and win. I'm reminiscing everybody what a great time to have been a fan!
Great listening to Brets raw honesty
I was there. 14 years old. Unforgettable night.
This was the only match that could rightfully claim THE greatest WWF WWE match of all time. Outdoing the great Macho Man vs Ricky The Dragon Steamboat match at WrestleMania 3. A TRUE classic we will never see again in WWE history.
that summerslam match was just epic. when i first heard that davey wasn't right that day it was hard to believe but if you watch it you can see bret is doing the work to keep the pace, timing, and crispness ... this match alone earned him the excellence of execution because he was almost wrestling for two. although davey did seem to get it together about halfway through at least to the point where bret didn't have to carry it
That demo run of the ladder match with Shawn appeared on the WWF vhs tape Smack Em, Whack Em. It also has the house show match where Bret beat Flair for the world belt.
The Shawn idea made sense. Brett and Shawn were doing great house show matches and even tested the ladder match concept that summer. It would have been interesting to see how Survivor Series would have played out that year after Brett won the title.
Could listen to Bret all day
That lone "boo" @ 1:05 made me laugh
Bret should be a match producer
Kevin Dunn would like you because you said producer not agent :)
AEW could use a guy like Bret.
TheBC313 **Bites apple with bucked teeth**
I don’t know why you think we’re wrethling. We’re not wrethling. Just becauthe we hathe wrethlers, in wrethling tights, in wrethling matches.
Any young fans reading this should check that Davey Boy and Hart in Wembley match out. Was beyond excellent. Also before the days of everything lit up with leds
THE BEST THERE IS AND THE BEST THAT EVER WILL BE, GOD BLESS BRETT HEART, ALWAYS LOVED HIS WORK, AGAIN GOD BLESS HIS HOLE FAMILY, MARK FROM TENNESSEE, ☺☺
Just wanted to clarify for anyone reading who wasn’t a UK wrestling fan in the ‘90s, the claim that he was more popular here than Bulldog is just not true.
Heard him make this claim a few times now (more popular than Hogan here etc) and it just comes across as a bit delusional. There is one interview where he says he begged Vince to send a film crew to Germany to follow him because it was so crazy and then complains it was the wrong part of Germany when the reaction was underwhelming.
UK fans were always grateful to see the big names so no doubt he did feel more popular here but I can’t even work out which tour gave him this idea that he was the main man: he lost to Dino Bravo in ‘89 and wasn’t even on the card at UK Rampage ‘91. Bulldog won the Battle Royal later that year and headlined in ‘92.
"Wrong part of Germany"? You do realise that East and West Germany were two seperate countries in the late 80s?
Also UK Rampage 91 was a video tape not a PPV.
Story goes the reason Bret had to carry bulldog. He was smoking crack til the morning of the match when Bret found him.
Gotta love Bret - “I was this huge star.” You don’t often hear anyone confess to that, or even say that. He was a big star, of course, but he was never afraid to tell you. He may be his own biggest fan, as well.
And you can’t argue with him.
There’s a difference between confidence and arrogance.
Bret is the former.
If you were as good as him, you’d behave exactly the same.
His confident words more than warrant his accomplishments.
iTubeYourDadsMinge yeah, I love Bret. I like his confidence, but do get a chuckle out of it too.
Hbk owned bret in
95 96 97
@@rhanon5305 Don't be ridiculous Bret dominated Shawn in the 60 Man Iron Man match Bret had most of the attack and MADE Shawn the Superstar that he was in that match. Bret did NOT lose to Shawn in 97 so you need to get your facts right.
It’s not showing off if you. can back it up..And Bret definitely backed it up wouldn’t you say ?
1992 was a weird year of burying the World Title on the midcard. They should have just kept the belt on Flair going to Summerslam and had Davey go over Ric in England.
Shawn Michaels had the best ladder matches ever
Bret was deffo our fave in the UK. Davey just behind him.
I’ve heard this story before he said it it was the US he would be putting Shawn over in a ladder match but in the UK it was Davey. The ladder match he had with Shawn was decent, it’s a shame they didn’t go to that in for Survivor Series 92
Alex Kanyima no he was set to lose either way
I've always thought that too. Wish it had been a ladder match.
The actual match was better than the rough ladder match they had in mid 92. Bret didnt need gimmicks.
I don't think anyone can argue that Bret is in the top 5 all time, what I don't like about him is he take himself waaay too seriously. You watch these videos and Edge, Jericho and Foley are hilarious, he speaks like he's in court.
I agree, but he did grow up with a dungeon in his basement lol
@Liam Quinn pff, ok chief. You can be a "complex thinker" and still talk about stuff that happened about 25 years ago on a lighter mood.
Bret: "I know when it's important to lose."
97 Vince and Shawn: "No, you dont!"
The SummerSlam match was a fun chapter to read. Also Diana Hart 92 is the birth of the modern day Karen look
Every time I hear the “I’m fooked” Davey Boy story, I laugh my ass off, as sad as it is, because I can totally picture that moment when he said that.
He says they hadn’t decided between DC and London, but I remember clearly watching one of the Coliseum Videos from 1992 and they were advertising a contest where the winner gets a free trip to DC for SummerSlam.
Yes, Sky TV was also advertising a competition in the commercials of the WrestleMania VIII replay with the winner getting a trip to Washington for SummerSlam.
At one point about 2.50 Bret says its is either going to be in Wembley or London. Wembley is in London
Imagine a human being making mistakes.
Summerslam 1992 SummerSlam 1995 wrestlemania 3 were the 3 events in which the intercontinental title. Match was better than the WWF title bout
I thought that Bret said that he was supposed to wrestle a heel Jake Roberts? That would have been great as well.
Hulk did the same with Warrior, he made himself look good when he lost, although the two men dislike each other, both were very cunning and clever individuals,both knew how to get the best deal for themselves
Hulk somewhat lifted the shoulder in the "3" during the count, he obviously was declared the loser, as per the plans, and you can see him sort of arguing with the referee in keyfabe, and then accepting the loss and lifting Warrior's hand in the afterwards. Knowing him now, it's obvious he tried to be a crybaby and have his character look as if somewhat he didn't really lost
KurtAngle89 I don’t know, I think the shoulder lifting was ok, to beat a champion in anything is never going to be easy, it can’t be easy for any athlete to be told they have to lose, I personally would want to make it hard for me to get beat, at the time Hulk maybe was happy to drop the title, but as time has passed he seems happy to twist stories a little bit, all about making himself money long after his in ring days passed
God i wanna watch that ladder match
WrestleMania X = a Ladder Match with "The Heartbreak Kid" (HBK) vs. Razor Ramon (Scott Hall)... MSG / The Garden (or the Mecca) (March 20, 1994) in NYC.
Please always do this show the footage while The Wrestlers Talk about it
I don't think Bulldog could have made it up to the second rung.
bret would've figured out a way to push bulldog up the ladder but make it look right.
Bret hart is my handsome Canadian wrestler of all time and I love him. He is my hero. Xxxxxxx
Some original plans on events would have turned out much. better but not this one. This event was perfect as it was.
The Best!
Bret needs to be a producer/agent for WWE and/or NXT.
Bret Hart is a genius...
Bret would make a great manager for The Varsity Blonds in AEW. Julia can still be there (hell, she’s related to Bret, isn’t she?), but having The Hitman as the “manager” would be a major push for those guys. The crowds would pop big time for him.
I’m surprised nobody mentioned Bret’s error, he said he knew he was gonna lose the IC belt 4 or 5 months after winning the belt from Mr Perfect, he won the IC belt from Roddy Pipper that reign, Perfect was a year earlier and his first reign, Bret doesn’t make many mistakes, kinda surprising.
I bet that "British Bulldogs gonna win, whether he wants too or not!" kid forced Davey and Jim to do all that coke. Probably at gunpoint. She looks the type to do something like that.
I lost brain cells reading your comment.
@@BernardMarx95 Sorry mate. I just dont trust that kid. Never have
I remember that kid from the SummerSlam ppv
"Hey Bulldog and Jim. You're gonna snort all that coke, whether you want too or not!" Like that i bet.
The fact that Bret made Summerslam match with Bulldog great considering the how off his face Davey was shows he is the best there is was and ever will.
Boy, Bret Hart really loves some Bret Hart.
If you don't love yourself and have confidence like Bret you wouldn't be a professional. Bret has proved it over and over.
In Dec 1993 i went to my first house show at Rosemont Horizon in chicago.. saw Shawn vs Bret in a steel cage match as the main event. Still remember it to this day and i was only 7 yrs old then.
11:22 “Bulldog’s gonna have the best match of his career whether he wants to or not”
Love the Hitman growing up but some things need to be left unsaid
The G.0.A.T of wrestling
The British Bulldog was going to win at Wembley whether he wanted to or not.
Thank God he said he was popular in the UK........AND Ireland. Yes, he knows his stuff. Ireland is not part of the UK. Annoys me that people still don't get it. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
When was Duggan doing commentary with perfect and mcmahon?
On the old show, Prime Time wrestling i think. It was during 1992. It wasnt on any PPV as far as i remember. He was one of the hosts when Perfect turned Face aswell. Vince, Heenan, Perfect, Hillbilly Jim and Duggan were on the panel.
Prime Time, the panel based show where Vince sat at a table with Perfect, Hennan and a combo of Hacksaw, Slick and Hillbilly Jim... bar Wrestlemania 7 do not recall Duggan on commentary that often
Oh yeah the boardroom looking set on prime time 👍👍
🐐 in the ring
Bret Hart made wearing pink fucking cool and only he did it for me as a kid
Is he a trainer now? What does he do?
I would like to see him more in AEW
Just the walkouts alone were worth the price of the ppv.
Even tho Shawn is from my hometown Bret is #1 in my book
i always hate that Bulldog never got a legendary run with the IC belt after that
Is this clip from Manchester comedy store ?
Cyprus Avenue in Cork!
olyosso I was there that night one of the best nights I ever had!
Everyone says Bret whines and complains but could you have lasted in that business being an honest person around all that deception and politicking? Why don’t you come back and let us know how that goes.
I love how Bret always makes himself sound like the best man ever in wrestling "I suggested the ladder match " " I suggested I would drop the belt" , " I scraped a few barnacles " f sakes
Bret did suggest the ladder match lol this has been proven time and time again by multiple people lol of he course he said he would drop the belt because he was going to get pushed higher which is what happened.
It was a joke guys like Bret as champ
@@tayflyfree497 Now you're backpedaling. 😄 You weren't joking the tone of your post shows that. As far as Bret Hart being a "joke" as champion, he made millions of dollars as champion so I would say he is the winner and your the joke since you're relegated to whining about him on UA-cam.
@@CatsClaw44 backpeddling ? It's called sarcasm, but hey you are a Bret heart fan so I wouldn't expect you to know when someone is good or not ... speaking of which you're a Bret heart fan so you must be a fan of people whinning on UA-cam all the time , just like Bret does
The wrestling of now I cant really enjoy because i grew up with great wrestlers like bret, shawn, perfect, rude.
Nowadays it's just high spots...these guys today wont last long..they are hurting there bodies and not thinking of the future. Back then was about building characters Nd building rivalries so that it will result on epic matches...nowadays all that is gone.
Dusty and Tully had a ladder match in 87.
