People wonder why Bret comes off as so miserable and jaded
He did so many great things in his career, but whenever he does anything in public, all anyone ever wants to talk about are the 3 worst things that ever happened to him: Screwjob, Owen Hart, and Goldberg.
How could he not be miserable and jaded?
Yh he really went through a lot in the industry add on top of that many other family members dying and Benoit tragedy because he knew Benoit quite closely.
hes not miserable anyone wud b pissed
It’s what people want to ask him about.
He also gave everything to the business and was chewed up and spat out. The business crashed and burned from what he knew. Bret's seen some stuff
I think regarding the Screw job, Bret has come to terms with it in some way, at least from what I've heard from him. I remember hearing him say that having to come to terms with it was like letting go of a big bag of rocks. Yet regarding Goldberg and Owen, I can't say that I'd blame him for how he feels. Goldberg ended Bret's career in one fell swoop and how Owen died was tragic. I lost my sister to unnatural causes so in some way, I can relate to the emotional pain--I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
X pac explains this the best. Bret Hart was really serious about his wrestling career and not everyone understood that because wrestling was a work. But coming up in the business and his Dad was a promoter it was different.
I heard Sean(Waltman, aka Xpac) say that the Screwjob was a work. So what was wrong with Bret taking pride in his career? I'd felt like asking him if he was physically there when it happened or involved in it in some way. Otherwise, I'm not fully sure that a statement like that carries merit. Someone asked Marty Jannetty about whether he thought it was a work--he was already gone from WWE. He answered, "I don't know because I wasn't there." It's interesting how ppl can make statements with limited bases.
@@glamgal7106 I think Scott hall mentioned it was a work but also to stay relevant
It wasn’t a work
@@MrHarco77definitely real he legitimately blacked the Chairman's eye for fuckin him over. You don't beat someone up over a mutual agreement. Vince is a snake and his evil boss character is his true self nothing kayfabe about that reptile
like him or not, Bret Hart has always been consistent with his account of the screwjob, and actually everything. so yeah, I would take Bret's words over the Kliques, ANYDAY.
No he hasn't. He's changed his story. This is his 4th version of his side. Do your research
@@cojack636 how has his story changed? post some links.
sorry he's been nothing but inconsistent and I consider him the best of all time. It was about Canada, then it wasn't and just about Shawn, then he'd drop the belt even TO shawn just not in Canada, then it was about dropping the belt to Austin on RAW etc, the inconsistencies go on and on. As a world champion in the biggest promotion in the world you simply cannot control or dictate the conditions of a world recognized title loss. Bret absolutely, unequicoally wanted to do a famous vacation of the title speech and leave on his terms. you simply can't do that when reigning world recognized champion during a feud between the two biggest promotions within the sport.
Facts most definitely
@@patriceaqa288 thank u for taking the time to answer. If i am not mistaken, bret had a clause in his then contract with WWF in which it said bret had a degree of creative control. He mentioned on numerous occasions (including his book) how he was willing be put aside personal difference with HBK, be a professional and drop the belt to him. It was HBK's response that made him think otherwise. bret was willing to drop the belt to anyone but Shawn as a result of that. i mean i understand where vince was coming from, especially after medusa throwing the WWF belt in a trash can on live television. vince had to protect his own company. it was just a shitty situation through and through.
I ran into Bret in a small bar in Calgary shortly after he was inducted into the hall of fame, and we talked about the legacy he left behind
I've listened to Bret talk about the Screwjob. I'm glad that he came to terms with it. I heard him say something to the effect of it being like letting go of a big bag of rocks. When my friend and I saw him in 1998 shortly after he came to WCW, Bret showed that he was glad to see us, yet it was obvious that there was lingering sadness from what happened. Of course, WCW didn't know what to do with him and sadly things took a turn for the worse. I've met Bret many times between 1994-2012 and from the first time, I developed the utmost respect for him. He's proven to be a kind and sincere person with a fighting spirit. Thanks for this upload.
Finally! I hear Bret's PoV about the Dark Side of Wrestling documentary aired on VICE about the Montreal Screwjob. I knew that he could not have liked it. Now, he emphatically (to say the least!) voiced his distaste of it.
@Jose Aquino He went to WCW after WWF though so what are you on about?
and THIS is the version the internet fans need to take notice of and forget all that "not wanting to lose in Canada" crap 🤣🤣
K Romanova Bret's story has changed enough times to be unbelievable. In wrestling with shadows he says 'I'll drop the belt anywhere to anyone just not in Canada.' In his WWF documentary he says it had 'nothing to do with Canada it was about personalities and respect.' in his biography he says he wanted to lose to Austin on RAW. In a 2000 interview he said he'll drop it to anyone anywhere EXCEPT to Shawn if IN Canada, 'I'll drop it the following night to Shawn or anyone, just let me get through this weekend and keep my respect in my home country.' Which one is it??????? Ultimately it's glaringly apparent Bret just wanted to vacate the title and leave on HIS terms.
@@patriceaqa288 I believe that bret was meaning that night in Canada... If it would of been every other time in history in Canada bret would of did it..Just not that night. I dont believe it was about solely losing in Canada but more about the disrespect from shawn in which bret has said numerous times in interviews...
@@patriceaqa288 You saved me a typing job.
@@patriceaqa288 Uh, what? Everything you just typed up basically verifies everything he said.
He's been consistent that he would drop it to anyone else, even Shawn, but not in Canada.
Canada wasn't the only factor, and what he was willing to do and what he would've preferred don't have to be the same thing. He can WANT to to drop it to Austin and still be WILLING to drop it to Shawn. I doubt he ever wanted to give Shawn that satisfaction, despite willing to do it because that's how the business works.
Dropping it in Canada doesn't have to be the only factor either.
Considering he isn't the one who dishonoured his contract, he's right to have wanted to leave on his own terms. But he never had any intention of leaving with the belt and there was months of preparation that could've gone into him dropping the title to someone else or in a diffferent location. I don't see how him vacating the title would've been bad for Vince either. Bret would've got what he wanted, Vince would've got what he wanted, the fans still would've seen HBK vs Hitman. Everything about this is Vince's fault.
@@markobighead3173 You are not listening. Bret didn't want to lose to Shawn and he didn't want to lose in Canada. Shawn was their next champion. He's NOT consistent. The following two statements 100% contradict each other 'if you want me to drop the belt I'll drop the belt just NOT in Canada.' (Hitman Hart Wrestling with Shadows) 'Survivor series and the issue with the belt had NOTHING to do with Canada God knows I'd already lost there how many times.' (WWE documentary Hitman) So which one is it? 'I'll drop it to Shawn if he puts me over first as a mark of respect.' (post summerslam 1997) 'It's ok I don't need to beat Shawn I just want to leave Canada with the belt so I can leave in a nice way.' Vince asked Bret point blank in a last ditch effort on audio tape 'What do you wanna do today?' When Bret put his foot down that he can't lose this match. Bret made it clear 'I wanna go in do my speech and forfeit the title. Vince's response 'Ok whatever you want.' There was no turning back then for Vince. No wrestler has EVER behaved like that when their contract is up and they are the world recognized champion. I don't agree with the screwjob but Bret put himself in that situation at least 50% of the blame is on him. How could Vince even be sure Bret would turn up on RAW? What if he turned up on monday and demanded he give a speech and not lose a match??? Bret has never been consistent, it either IS or isn't about Canada, you can't give 4 answers to the same question
The weird camaraderie of Vince McMahon with the guys that have really gotten angry with him. It's kinda cool. He doesn't care, but then he cares.
It's has been Decades watching this match telecast a week or more in TV
Vince ringing to check on bret shows vince cares
Or maybe vince ringing bret was about to make that dvd they talked about so vince can screw more money about him. I hope not. But vince is all about making money yo.
There are few men (alive) that I respect more than Bret Hart. He should be so proud of his career, god bless em 🙏.
To me, the name Bret Hart is synonymous with the word legend.
He said he would drop the belt to anybody else but Vince wouldn't have it , a triple threat was the answer but Vince was stubborn
Taker was the perfect choice.
Funny because everyone around Vince says he didnt want to lose in Montreal and in the documentary he says he just wanted to hand it over.
I think it was in Bret's contract that he wouldn't drop the belt in Canada.
McMahon broke the contract early and one of the conditions was that bret would get creative control over his exit from the company. bret originally wanted to just vacate the belt or drop it to someone of his choosing but vince wanted it to be shawn for whatever reason and bret wouldn't do it. McMahon broke the agreement.
Real wrestling fans know you got screwed.i wrestled the rockers at least 3 or 4 times in the awa but never look down because you did so much for the wwf.i never got to where I wanted to get but I left to raise my 2 daughters who actually had you sent me a fathers day call.thanks.mike tolos awa.
Aww, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this! You just reminded me of the great Hart Foundation vs the Rockers matches. That's awesome that Bret called you on Father's Day!
Thank you for you blood sweat and tears my friend.
Shawn always been a selfish pill head just like Vince has always been a backstabbing liar!! Bret is the a legend of Pro Wrestling forever 🤼♂️
Till today Iam pissed off, thats not the way to treat such agreat wrestler.
Agreed brother at the end of the match , it was devastating i felt the crime
He was really my hero back then it makes me sad remembering it but in the end he didnt have to destroy noone or sell his soul, you can still see it in his eyes nothing has changef at all
He lost his brother and the event still went on that should never have happened total lack of respect he genuinely got screwed against shaun he's got every right to be angry
Also Goldberg kicked him in the head and gave him a career ending concussion.
The best there is, the best there ever was, and the best there ever will be
Excellence of execution always!
Is that Sean Mooney?? Cos that brings me right bk to my childhood!!
Yes it is Sean mooney
Bret talking about Montreal. How did you guys get such an exclusive?
Haha
How did you get such a comedic sense of writing?
The scewjob was acutally very good because it openned the evil Vince mcmahon heel character and also started the Attitude era
The attitude era started months before the Screwjob.
@@acidmack1041 nah it didn’t
No Wonder vince loved HBK or maybe that was Pat Patterson 🤔
@@pjket4229 Yeah, it did. The first "WWF Attitude" commercial even had Bret Hart in it. Even at the start of the 1997, the attitude era had pretty much already started and all the silly gimmicks had started to go away.
@@pjket4229 Auston 3:16, DX, Foley, The Nation of domination etc were all happening well before the Screw job.
Stu sold to Vince and part of the deal was to take care of Brett and his family in the wwe, not screw him over and kill one of them with a stunt that he didn’t want to do.
thx
canadian fans absolutly loved Brett
This is the 1st time
Vince McMahon stepped out from Color
Commentary and be came Mr.McMahon the
Chairman and CEO of the WWF/WWE.
Put Owen in the HOF
Owen's widow wont allow wwe to induct owen into to the hall of fame
Will never happen
HE doesnt deserve it those are for legends only
Even though his wife and son don't want the company who killed him to profit off his image? Cool story bro.
Its good at least his legacy can be remembered through AEW
I recently watched a Bret Hart documentary and it was interesting showing his wrestling career beginning and he had a great career was it perfect? No but it had to be very satisfying for Bret at certain points.
Business is business.
Bret can make any wrestler look like a true professional I see make new talent copy older talent but nobody can’t copy him because nobody got the the skills to do it like Bret
It’s Vince fault for keeping Shawn still in that match and in WWE during that time.
Shawn is a hof and one of the top guys kicking him is dumb
he still looks really good.
Bret Hart is a classy guy . Can't say the same about Vince McMahon
😭😭
I love Bret and class him as the best ever, but Vince was the boss. If he says drop the belt, you drop the belt. It was that process that put the belt on Bret, so he should have respected it when it was his time to lose.
Bret screw jobbed Bret
Great wrestler and person Bret Hart.
Great person 👍👍
What documentary is Brett talking about that he said was shitty and confusing
Dark Side of The Ring
At least he never joined the kiss my a$$ club
What documentary was bret referring to???
Most likely he's talking about Dark Side of the Ring.
I still think it was a work
And look where Shawn is now and look where Triple H is ....
Shawn Michaels is still lurking behind the scenes in NXT 2.0 while HHH had a heart attack all while his NXT was getting phased out
Bret was right. Bret > Shawn
Apparently it bretty came out recently and said it was a work
At the end of the day. Bret didn't want to drop the belt, it doesn't matter why.
The screw job is justified because business comes before people's feeling. Bret was leaving for WCW and could job leave champion.
Ted Turner revealed that he couldn't bring the belt on WCW cause it could cause lawsuits.
@@sportschannel7847 it doesn't matter if Bret turned up with the belt or not, as WWF champion it would have buried vince.
@RedRedKroovy that works both ways, Bret wanted to walk out of WWF as champion, noone does that. For all the things Bret was right about he was wrong to say he wouldn't do the right thing and drop the belt on his way out.
this makes me want to kick HBKs ass in a HIAC match in wwe2k22 as Bret Hart on easy.
It was the greatest set up by Bart and Vince
You believe that you probably also think there’s going to be a Boy George Junior.
Does he ever stop talking about Montreal?
People keep asking him about it
Shawn at that period was coked up most of the time he may had said something under influence.
Bret should not have taken it too seriously.
Seems like it was a pretty serious comment to make, being coked up is not an excuse to say what Shawn did.
Not to diss you but Shawn being on coke don't mean shit. Think about it. If your spouse was drunk as fuck and slept with someone else, are you gonna be pissed off that you just got cheated on? Or are you not gonna take it seriously because your spouse was under the influence of alcohol? Disrespect is disrespect, regardless of whether you were sober or not.
what I don't understand is if he had a contract and Vince broke it could he not have sued the hell out of him for breaking his contract I've always been a Bret Hart fan die-hard Hitman fan
another video bret saying he would drop at raw next day not the ppv so 2 diff answers
Last year, Taker was interviewed about the screwjob since he was there and involved in the ensuing locker room fracas. He mentioned when asked that to the best of his knowledge Bret DID NOT want to drop the belt to Shawn. That the friction revolved around Bret not wanting to drop the belt and McMahon being worried about Bret appearing the next day on WCW with the WWF belt....*sigh*....this thing will go on for ever.
No those were ideas Bret had cause he didn’t want to drop the belt to Shawn. Vince had agreed but he was lying.
@@hawaiiansouljah remember that Shawn was being a dickweed to him also after Bret tried being nice to him, which was said a whole bunch of times. I don't blame Bret for not wanting to drop it to Shawn in particular after that. That just goes to show Vince had his favorites and instead of switching the plans (even if it was last minute) Vince chose to go with his favorite instead of the face of the company, regardless of him leaving to WCW. They could've had Steve Austin interfere making it a Triple threat and have Austin win so that everyone goes home happy (except for Shawn) but they instead went for the screwjob
@@meitroxgaming6988 Well said
Wonder when they will come clean and tell us it’s all a work?
I respect Bret and what he did for the company, with that said, Bret hates almost everyone, he’s got issues with so many people it’s ridiculous, I think Shawn did the right thing, it was his time, Bret wouldn’t give up the belt that night. Period. He knew he was going to WCW, he was being stubborn
The Hitman one of the greatest of all-time.Who is this Road Dogg guy?Oh that's right the glorified hype man for DX.I couldn't remember not one of his matches though.
Bret screwed Bret
Manny screwed Manny
Everyone came out on top from this Screwjob
Making it the best work in wrestling
Except Bret , Owen , Bulldog and the anvil
Wasn’t a work at all
Oh god, you're one of those. Go back to Reddit.
@@markobighead3173 never was on reddit herb lmao
But oh God, you're one of those that says the usual 'oh God you're one of those go back to so n so' pathetic, pedestrian witt
@@magnol1a_ money yes all though he said he wish he could have stayed. Look what happened to his career, health and family
Good lord, this horse has been beaten and brought back to life 10 million times. Nauseating
Not everyone has followed the story. It's kinda like complaining about World War II documentaries or movies. Many of us may know about it, but it's still an interesting topic people who are just learning.
Bret did get screwed but he didn’t have too. His ego got in the way. If the boss of your company says lose, than you lose. It’s all scripted anyway.
It's the way Vince went about it that's wrong and the kliq the boys club Treehouse known as the kliiq
@@1burnman why is it wrong?
@@JohnDoe-qu7gm because the script wasn’t counting Brett as tapping out when he didn’t tap out. It was wrong
@@andrew881000 it’s never wrong. Brett didn’t want to lose in Montreal to HBK a guy he hated at that time. I 100% understand his reasoning, but it’s scripted wrestling, put your ego aside and do what your told to do. Move on, which he had already done.
@@JohnDoe-qu7gm I can agree with that
bret's problem is he seems to forget that wrestling is a business with scripted events and results. way off base to decide when and to whom to lose too. its not UFC or boxing , ie a real championship... he is part of a storyline and thought he was above it...he could have easily leveraged the "screwjob" into a multi-year storyline to "win the belt back" but pride got in his way... he is an actor
Remember, the only people who have to know that it's a worked shoot are Vince and Bret, it's actually better that everyone else is under the guise of a shoot screwjob.
@Vincent Verona I don't say I think it is one, but so many people dismiss it as a possibility because someone would have spilled the beans by now when really as I said only Vince and Bret have to be in on it for it to work.
And there you see "Vince complained", if Vince and Bret are in on a worked shoot, Vince isn't going to say anything to jeopardize Bret Hart's contract with WCW.
I'll reiterate I doubt it was a worked shoot, but for me there is no concrete evidence that would say it couldn't be either, and you're right, that probably has a lot to do with a wrestling fans mentality.
Oh god, you're one of those.
Go back to Reddit and spout this absolute garbage. Classic example of a 'smark' working themselves back into just being a regular old mark who doesn't know anything. If you think Montreal was a work, you're absolutely brain dead.
brett hart sucked in the wwf
Bret's biggest issue is that he could never differentiate between wrestling and reality. He honestly thought that HE, and not his character, was winning and losing the matches! Canadian hero? REALLY??? Give me a break. If YOU are a national hero then what does that say about Canada? A hero is not someone who play-fights with other men in their underwear over a belt! The fact that basically, his entire house is a shrine to himself tells you all you need to know about Bret. Not to say that HBK wasn't an arrogant douchtart, because he was! But Bret knew he was supposed to drop the strap before leaving! So he left for the $$$ and what did it get him, scrambled eggs for brains now?
L comment
Maybe Bret doesn't remember it, and it wouldn't be a surprise. Because Bret wrestled so often it would be impossible for him to recall everything. BUT Shawn already lost to Bret CLEAN for the WWE title more than once. Once when DX was formed and Bret pinned him CLEAN. People always make up these excuses oh it was on a house show. SO? It still counts. You can't just make up what counts and what doesn't count. Triple Threat. Bret VS Shawn VS Taker. Shawn took the pin CLEAN. So..
He already proved he WOULD and DID lose to Bret when they were both top stars. I understand where Bret is coming from. I do. Because an answer like that would piss anybody off.
Shawn have admitted he was an asshole to Bret back in the days, and he has admitted it many, many times over. Because he WAS. That's not a secret.
The only legit reason Vince did what he did was because Brett didn't want to drop the belt on Canadian soil and Vince didn't want Brett to take the belt to WCW
And that makes sense to me. Vince couldn't take that chance. Alundra already took the wwf women's title to wcw and tossed it in the trash on national television, he couldn't take that risk
@@jessietaylor790 Yeah...I never bought that. Not that I don’t see or understand why Vince did what he did, but the idea that Bret would take the belt to WCW is flagrant and offensive horseshit. Bret’s loyalty to WWF was damn near unparalleled. Man missed two shows in 14 years, only because of the births of his kids. Bret didn’t even want to go to WCW. The contract issue was what came between him and Vince.
@@HovaNirvana Maybe Bret knew he wouldn't do it, but if you're Vince you have no way of making sure, you're not inside Bret's mind and don't know what Bischoff is pulling with turner to make that happen... not a chance you can take no matter how much of a standup guy he's been up till now, Bret is asking Vince to put the entire company in check for reasons that Bret can't even properly explain, why the hell would he do that?
@@liquidsnake6879 Fair point. It’s just a shame what happened, and to be honest Vince was partly to blame for not having the foresight to take the belt off of Bret before it became an issue.
I will always love Bret But he always talks about the screw job every chance he gets its in every interview its like he likes talking about it
Outside of maybe winning the WWF title for the first time, it's the highlight of Brett's career
Someone likes talking about a defining moment of their career during interviews about their career? Wow, what a shocker.
I mean, it's not like people DON'T ask him about it so many times. If I were Bret I would be tired of talking about it
"No problem dropping the belt"
So its Shawn Michaels fault?
Bret was a great wrestler but he was never a draw. Flair has strong feelings on this.
Get a clue with your subjective personality bias commenting there, troll. Fair also went on Canadian TV on TSN in 2005 and basically went into business for himself to pad his relationship with HHH and HBK. Burying Bret saying WWE didn't want to resign him due to lack of draw; wrong. It was due to WWE being worth millions and WCW worth billions. WWE could 't afford Bret and Vince admitted this. WCW was pulling everyone they could for higher money. Nash. Hall. Hart was a huge heel draw in the US at the time to put over Guys in the kliq or austin. "Without the log there is no fire" as they say. Flair the drunk partier at 45 mixing with Michaels the drug boy toy.
@@johns1187 fanboy much? Brett is a whiny jealous bitter ex wrestler with delusions of self grandeur.
Not true. Michaels wasn't a draw. Diesel wasn't a draw. Bret was a bigger draw then them and one of the biggest ever draws overseas.
Bret wasnt a draw... LOL xD Prolly the 2nd or 3rd biggest draw of all time in WWE
Bret wasn’t a draw???!!!
I was at Montreal in 1997. Bret Hart was screaming in pain yelling "I quit....I quit....please Shawn....I quit" over and over.
I’m sorry but there is no way this man went to Shawn and said, I’m happy to drop the belt to you and you will be safe in the ring..anyone that knows Brett hart will tell you he would never have done that to anyone let alone Shawn..most arrogant guy ever and thought he owned the place.
all hart ever does is cry
He’s still richer than you’ll ever be.
@@Al-nt8tn wanna bet
I agree Robert, The Hit Man was one of my childhood favorites, now as an adult, watching and listening to Brett himself...smh, it's all about Brett. Biggest baby and whiner of all time.
@@michaelvacura4105 No Shawn is a prick. He has refused to job to multiple wrestlers. Robert Brunelle and you only complain when Bret refuses to job to Shawn, which might be the only time he has done so. Shawn, on the other hand, is a repeat offender ( The British Bulldog, Vader, and Shane Douglas I think), and supposedly had heat with Mabel over lying about drugs he had, and Bam Bam Bigelow, but I forget about what. There might be other wrestlers, but these one come to mind.
@@pbanik - hit the nail on the head. In Hart's entire career he only refused to do a job once. You'll run out of fingers and toes if you count up all the times the Shawn Michaels refused to do a job.
This guy is so self centered! Me this, I am that. I deserve this, I earn that. I need to be honored here, I need to be respected there. He just loves to talk about himself. And I always thought Hunter and HBK got big egos. But Hart has an even bigger one.
Lol bigger ego than Shawn that's tough but may be right
