@Jason Voorheese Better Wrestlers? I've been a fan for more than 30 years and I've yet to see a better in ring wrestler than Bret Hart. His matches were the literal definition of Pro Wrestling.
Bret was a fan first. It shows in his collection of matches. So many moves. So many turns of momentum in his matches. Crowd emotions getting pushed and pulled. Historic!
Bret Hart was a filmmaker who wrestled. He was always sculpting his legacy and working to tell a much larger story. Bret had a vision of the story he wanted his career as wrestler to represent. That is what made him unique as well as misunderstood by many of his peers. It is also why he is great and his matches stand the test of time.
I don't think it's so much that he's bitter. I think he's just confident with the work he's left behind and he's honest as fuck. There's no filter with what he says .
Completely agree and let's be real, Bret has a lot of reasons to be bitter, but I don't think he is. He's brutally honest & completely confident in his wrestling ability.
I always thought he got the nickname Hitman for his precision in the ring but I am starting to think its because he shoots straight from the hip. Love his brutal honesty, just an icon of wrestling
Him and Shawn Michaels, selling the hurt makes a huge difference, that’s why people got so invested in the Shawn and taker matches because the selling was perfect
I agree. When Raw first came out in 1993, I didn't even want to leave the set for commercial breaks, especially if Bret was scheduled to appear. I also went to a few live Raw shows and PPVs while he was actively wrestling, sometimes out of state. Now I have no desire to attend ANY live WWE, even if it's in my own backyard. It's just very less entertaining and doesn't hold my interest like it used to.
Hit man really does speak purely from his soul and so very skilled at story telling. It’s clearly evident from his old matches throughout the years, he’s left an impact on the sport. Orchestrating great matches proving how great a story teller he is to wrestling. Only other pro wrestler that comes to my mind whom speaks volumes of honesty and sincerity like Mr. Hart is Greg “the hammer” Valentine. Another straight shooter from the past. If you haven’t seen Greg’s interviews, drop his name in the search field. Both these guys make you feel as if you’re on the voyage with them from 1980s through today. And their experiences they share, shows their passion and love for the sport. I have to say, these two brilliant business minds think alike. I Love It!!
"They should be in the Hall of Fame for being drunk", hahaha. Brett Hart is hilarious. I always find his interviews entertaining, & very true at the same time. Brets interviews are more entertaining than WWE now.
Well besides the wrestling in Texas with the von erichs, wtf did that team do? They didn't draw nationally, at all. They make Bret look like hulk hogan in terms of drawing.
I was a WWF tv producer there he's exactly correct about Michael hayes everyday he was drunk early in the morning he'd be drunk even when he was there during our production meetings
What was so great about Bret was his ability to make every match feel like a legitimate contest. It didn't matter if you were already aware of the predetermined nature, it was so easy to get wrapped up in his matches and (even for just a moment) believe that the guys were really fighting. He was THAT good. How does Bret not know that Martha is why Owen isn't in the HOF??
I just met this man last night. Super cool guy. Took time with everyone to talk about whatever they wanted to talk about. Another check off my bucket list.
@@JoeyMartz lets see..wm 6 i was 8 i think.... Bret winning the title at wm10 was such a feel good moment. It wouldve been perfect if hogan was the ref and awarded bret the title in the main event. That wouldve erased the shitty wm9 ending.
Bret's 100 correct. When Bret was on top, the matches were the draw. The drama was in the actual matches. Now, you can pretty much just fast forward through the matches. High spot njpw style matches are completely uninteresting to me. If I wanted to watch that shit, I would go to cirque de soliel.
Bret is absolutely correct in his statement. He came from an Era when there was no such thing as a “creative team” and wrestlers actually had to construct and execute their own stories in the ring. That is an art form that has sadly been lost. Thank you Bret for all you gave 🐐
U do realize if there was no creative team there would be no screwjob?? There is ALWAYS creative teams in wrestling. SOME wrestlers had Bret's freedom but Vince still basically knew what was going to happen. As well as the creative team.
I wish he was in wwe behind the scenes. He could really help the younger guys in showing them how to actually wrestle and tell better stories inside the ring.
@@DarksaberForce I think he would offend a lot of those guys with his brutal honesty. Too many guys going through the choreographed motions on AEW. The exact opposite of how Bret wrestled.
Truly one of the all time greats in the business always have had a tremendous amount of respect for Bret hart and what he accomplished in this business a true legend in this industry
I like his honesty even about his own work, and work is what's most important to him. He's prouder of dark matches with Owen than their WM10 performance. You never see HHH say something like that. He rests on the big tv stuff.
Bret Hart hit the nail on the head on what today's wrestling is lacking---the elements of mystery and drama that had viewers wondering about what would happen next. That's why I never got bored watching his matches nor for that matter, what the WWE had to offer then. I've met Bret personally and he's proved himself to be a kind, genuine person who sincerely appreciates his fans. He's also been an inspiration to me and I appreciate him for that.
@wayne finch Bret is just 1 of them guys who cant rate anyone ahead of him people were gud n gr8 but in his mind they wer not quite me. , but the thing is he really was that gud. He'l put himself number o1 everytime.... well actually there is ONE guy.. one guy that Bret was truly in awe of.. a guy Bret ALWAYS felt he was behind n playing catch up.. A guy that, Bret just stayed quiet n paid his dues , went along with everything just so he could SHARE THE RING and learn from this guy... Bret, however proud he is of his carer n his background wiv his dad n stampede wrestling which literally, like Floyd Mayweather was modelled n groomed to be a wrestler from the womb, He was learning nearly everything from the age of EIGHTEEN, n saw it n learnt it all from a young age.. But there was another guy out there from across the sea in England, who was EVEN MORE talented.. and learnt shoot wrestling, gymlastics , japanese style, highflying, innovating stuff NEVER seen or attempted b4, rolls, flips the lot, and this was from SIXTEEN!! Yes Bret was a GOOD wrestler at 18 20..he became a GREAT wrestler at around 24. The dynamite Kid already was a GREAT wrestler at 18-19, he was the best, Bret knows it n has NEVER denied it. Think about that for a minute when u consider Brets need to place himself at the very top..
97 was one of the best years in wrestling because of Bret Hart and the hart foundation. He was involved in the best storylines in that one year alone. I mean who else had all the best feuds going on at that time? That heat Bret had was something we really haven’t seen in a very long time until Maybe Dom who has that heat but because of the times we live in he has to keep it accordingly.
The rivalry between Bret and Eric is better than anything in the WWE. Both guys work the fans better than any wrestler in WWE too. They give an interview or do a podcast and people react. Watch a WWE match and the crowd is largely quiet. Hopefully it builds to a big podcast special between the 2.
If you listen to Bischoff tell it about every one of his colossal failures or talents he failed, it was always someone else’s fault. He’s spent 20 years revising history.
Because you will find the best wrestlers on podcasts,the real wrestlers,on the other hand the ring's wrestlers lack charisma and are unable to cut a proper promo.
Absolutely........ The best there is, was, and ever will be👑always love listening to bret and his storys - todays wrestling is shit compared to the old skool stuff💪
I think wrestling matches today are like wrestling video games- it's just one move after another, which means one reinforces the other unfortunately. Matches like Bret vs Bulldog, Savage vs Warrior, Steamboat vs Valentine are like mini-movies.
"I think I was a better storyteller than any of the wrestlers they have today" Sounds like such an egotistical thing to say, and yet it's also undeniably right.
what he is saying about people will get sick of too many high spots... Gunther is one of those guys who represents such a philosophy and is winning more and more fans over
Bret is correct. Davey never took the time to apply himself with his promo's. He was in a great position in 1992 but could not put it all together to move up the next rung. His drug abuse and lack of charisma cost him a massive amount of money and a huge spot. By 2000 when he came back he was done, his body was shot and there was no way he was getting a top spot. A proper sad story.
Rob Nathan Davy didn’t have the best look either. Bulky yet short stature and his ring attire was crap once it morphed into something else. Same reason Lex never really got over in WWE. They had similar issues with their characters
KlassicKrusty I thought his look was okay circa 1992/1993 with the whole British garb. It’s clear to me his abuse problems caused him massive inconsistencies as a performer. That and his voice and accent was a joke haha.
David Carter again as Bret said, he had to be carried. If he was with a worker like Bret or Owen who could lead he was a great opponent. Anyone looking to him for inspiration or to carry them is when it turned to garbage as he was not a leader in the ring.
Davey Boy Smith was a huge guy that wasn't particularly ripped, kind of like Hogan. I can't watch The Wembley match despite how great it was; it's because to me Davey looked terrible, he had a huge gut. I remember I was actually big on Davey because of his size and power at the time, but looking back, as I mentioned, he looked terrible in 92. I remember he was in the ring with Bret once during an interview and my grandfather says that Bulldog looks like a fat pig! He looked better in 94 and 95, but he was just too big for his body. Those chemicals are no good. Vince still pushed him time and time again, and he main evented IYH shows with Bret and Shawn. He even main evented a show with Diesel. His IYH match with Bret was his best ever imo, even better than the Wembley one. He was in The Cornette Stable with Owen, Vader, Yoko, at times. He was pushed more than Owen was, and it seems they valued him a little more, so I guess those chemicals helped because if it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have gotten that push. He never got the belt though. I think the problem with him is no matter how hard they tried, he lacked charisma which is the single most important thing in wrestling. That's why fat guys like Dusty gets pushed and guys like Warlord don't. Furthermore, like you all also stated, he was terrible on the mic. He just sounded dumb, I remember one time with his accent he tried sounding like Stone Cold during his last run by saying he was going to stomp a mudhole in someone. Also, he had too many substance abuse issues. I wanted him to get the belt, but he would have been a terrible WWF Champ, he would have drawn worse than Diesel. In the states anyways where most of the business was done. His work was an issue to. He was big and could do acrobatic stuff here and there, and he was believable as a power wrestler. He had the great matches with Bret and Owen to. Now here's the but, despite everything, he couldn't have a great match with everyone. I didn't think his match with Diesel that everyone crumbs on was that bad, but the problem was it was nothing special. Davey had to be a worker because he didn't have the charisma of Hulk, the size of Diesel, and the fans were getting sick of seeing the one dimensional huge guys put on crappy matches anyways. They wanted more. Davey was great when he was in with someone great, but if he's asked to carry a match, he couldn't do it.
Any time I see Bret do an interview I feel like he's doing a promo. Absolutely savage. If his mic skills were as good as they are now in his WWE days he'd have been even better than he was.
Bret and Bischoff both are great. They at least had vision of what the business should be like. Now no one has a fucking clue. It's a chore to watch 2014-2018 WWE. The problems started way earlier but before 2014 there were at least some saving graces. You need to understand that these Stampede / Amateur wrestlers like Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Eddie Guerrero, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, William Regal, Christian, Edge and Owen Hart never got to the ring to just do their job. They gave it their all every night, regardless of their status.
+Conspiracy515 Yup. It was 5 of them. 1) Brian Pillman died in 1997. 2) Owen Hart died in 1999. 3) Davey Boy Smith/British Bulldog died in 2002. 4) Jim Neidhart died in 2018. 5) Bret Hart is the only one still alive.
@@@NateNizzle I dunno... I suppose you can kindasorta count Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart as a member of the Foundation since he was Jim and Bret's manager for a while. So he's not the last one yet, but yeah, all of those guys died far too soon. It really is a damn shame.
Bret Hart is now 61 years old. Where has the time gone? He is still the man. Not only did he have such an amazing look, he also slept with Sunny in her prime. That should be considered an achievement.
Love this interview, speaks from the heart and is honest as hell. Never a kiss ass. This is why people call him a mark but you have to appreciate him for being real and not being full of shit. And the only reason Eric sabotaged his career was because I'm sure Hogan was involved. He tried to do it in the WWF and did it once again in WCW. They were both butt buddies doing stupid shit in WCW.
That match with British Bulldog was the main event at Summerslam 92 for the IC championship. Best match of all time!! I saw it live on pay per view. I thought Davey was in the hall of fame.
Always be a true professional always looked real the guy was bloody brilliant! Always the best there is the best there was the best there ever well be! It's damn true! And he always tell the truth
A lot of people misinterpret and can’t handle Bret’s honesty...but I really appreciate how blunt he is on his feelings.
He’s right though most of the wrestlers today don’t know what the hell their doing. Most of it is pointless wrestling. They need to be re taught.
Jason Voorheese he's arrogant but you would be too if you were as good as he is
Jason Voorheese I would too if I worked my ass off and made it
@Jason Voorheese Better Wrestlers? I've been a fan for more than 30 years and I've yet to see a better in ring wrestler than Bret Hart. His matches were the literal definition of Pro Wrestling.
Yes!
Bret Hart is a straight shooter who always gives an honest answer. He also grew up in the industry and understands/respects it more than most.
He's right to. Best stories really came from back then, I'd say the 90s. Good times.
If he really respected the business he would’ve dropped the title to Shawn Michaels
Bret was a fan first. It shows in his collection of matches. So many moves. So many turns of momentum in his matches. Crowd emotions getting pushed and pulled. Historic!
Bret Hart always speaks from the heart and is full of common sense.
I love this guy and always will.

Bret Hart was a filmmaker who wrestled. He was always sculpting his legacy and working to tell a much larger story. Bret had a vision of the story he wanted his career as wrestler to represent. That is what made him unique as well as misunderstood by many of his peers. It is also why he is great and his matches stand the test of time.
@@ricosalvaje8131 Better than he can
Well said!
The fact that he was schooled in film is a huge forgotten fact that absolutely helped his vision for matches.
Thats his problem...always worried about his precious legacy and shits on everyone he has ever worked with.
I don't think it's so much that he's bitter. I think he's just confident with the work he's left behind and he's honest as fuck. There's no filter with what he says .
Completely agree and let's be real, Bret has a lot of reasons to be bitter, but I don't think he is. He's brutally honest & completely confident in his wrestling ability.
No he’s a arrogant mark.
You can be honest and confident AND bitter.
I will never, ever get tired of listening to Bret call Bischoff an idiot. Adding "single stupidest idiot" to my arsenal going forward.
I always thought he got the nickname Hitman for his precision in the ring but I am starting to think its because he shoots straight from the hip. Love his brutal honesty, just an icon of wrestling
bret was so great at making u feel his pain in the ring
When he would get thrown into the turnbuckle chest first I would wince because it looked so painful.
Him and Shawn Michaels, selling the hurt makes a huge difference, that’s why people got so invested in the Shawn and taker matches because the selling was perfect
he's 100% right. Theres no drama anymore, no organically over superstars...WWE is like a less entertaining sesame street now.

I remember he was in the ring with Bret once during an interview and my grandfather says that Bulldog looks like a fat pig! He looked better in 94 and 95, but he was just too big for his body. Those chemicals are no good.
Vince still pushed him time and time again, and he main evented IYH shows with Bret and Shawn. He even main evented a show with Diesel. His IYH match with Bret was his best ever imo, even better than the Wembley one. He was in The Cornette Stable with Owen, Vader, Yoko, at times. He was pushed more than Owen was, and it seems they valued him a little more, so I guess those chemicals helped because if it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have gotten that push. He never got the belt though. I think the problem with him is no matter how hard they tried, he lacked charisma which is the single most important thing in wrestling. That's why fat guys like Dusty gets pushed and guys like Warlord don't. Furthermore, like you all also stated, he was terrible on the mic. He just sounded dumb, I remember one time with his accent he tried sounding like Stone Cold during his last run by saying he was going to stomp a mudhole in someone. Also, he had too many substance abuse issues. I wanted him to get the belt, but he would have been a terrible WWF Champ, he would have drawn worse than Diesel. In the states anyways where most of the business was done.
His work was an issue to. He was big and could do acrobatic stuff here and there, and he was believable as a power wrestler. He had the great matches with Bret and Owen to. Now here's the but, despite everything, he couldn't have a great match with everyone. I didn't think his match with Diesel that everyone crumbs on was that bad, but the problem was it was nothing special. Davey had to be a worker because he didn't have the charisma of Hulk, the size of Diesel, and the fans were getting sick of seeing the one dimensional huge guys put on crappy matches anyways. They wanted more. Davey was great when he was in with someone great, but if he's asked to carry a match, he couldn't do it.
Sharp Shooter in the ring and Straight Shooter with mic. A rare genuine guy in a fake industry.
Thank you 🙏 dam this was my Favorite wrestler god bless you heat
if somethings not broken dont fix it, wrestling wasnt broken in 90s and early 00s
Bret is as real as it gets, truly the Best (was and ever will be)
Any time I see Bret do an interview I feel like he's doing a promo. Absolutely savage. If his mic skills were as good as they are now in his WWE days he'd have been even better than he was.
Bret and Bischoff both are great. They at least had vision of what the business should be like. Now no one has a fucking clue. It's a chore to watch 2014-2018 WWE. The problems started way earlier but before 2014 there were at least some saving graces. You need to understand that these Stampede / Amateur wrestlers like Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Eddie Guerrero, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, William Regal, Christian, Edge and Owen Hart never got to the ring to just do their job. They gave it their all every night, regardless of their status.
Yeah, Bret and Eric are no sweethearts to each other.
Damn owen gone,jim and davey boy...gotta know bret be missing them
He's the only member of the Hart Foundation still living.
@@NateNizzle I was just thinking about that... Is he really!?!?
+Conspiracy515 Yup. It was 5 of them.
1) Brian Pillman died in 1997.
2) Owen Hart died in 1999.
3) Davey Boy Smith/British Bulldog died in 2002.
4) Jim Neidhart died in 2018.
5) Bret Hart is the only one still alive.
Like a curse or something. I hate to think that
@@@NateNizzle I dunno... I suppose you can kindasorta count Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart as a member of the Foundation since he was Jim and Bret's manager for a while. So he's not the last one yet, but yeah, all of those guys died far too soon. It really is a damn shame.
"We'd love to put you with him, but it's raining outside."
Respect to him always tells it like it is.
Those matches with bret vs chris was really good. Wished the match last longer. Both matches
8:55 “Freebirds should be in the hall of fame for being drunk.” 😵
Bret Hart is now 61 years old. Where has the time gone? He is still the man. Not only did he have such an amazing look, he also slept with Sunny in her prime. That should be considered an achievement.
except he didn't tho. Shawn actually did
Undertaker's streak < Bret's refusal to clear his throat
Love this interview, speaks from the heart and is honest as hell. Never a kiss ass. This is why people call him a mark but you have to appreciate him for being real and not being full of shit.
And the only reason Eric sabotaged his career was because I'm sure Hogan was involved. He tried to do it in the WWF and did it once again in WCW. They were both butt buddies doing stupid shit in WCW.
That match with British Bulldog was the main event at Summerslam 92 for the IC championship. Best match of all time!! I saw it live on pay per view. I thought Davey was in the hall of fame.
GREAT BRET HART SHOOTS ON ERIC BISCHOFF 2018 INTERVIEW !!!
Sorry to all you kids who never got to grow up with greatness like Bret
HBK
around summerslam 1992 Davey boy smith had dope Problems.
"we can't do that because it's raining outside" lmao
These guys look shockingly old. It doesn't seem like that long ago I was watching them in their prime. Times flies. Life is short.
The Excellence of Execution!! Best wrestler of all time!! Good honest guy too!
Crank the volume up please!?!
I absolutely love Bret, but he made me “clear my throat” like 50 times in hopes that he would do it just one time!
Saw a Bret interview where the man put the mic to his mouth to clear his throat
I like how he isn't afraid to call out bullshit when he sees it.
I don't care what anybody says Brett the hitman Hart is the best technical wrestler that ever walked this planet hands-down!
Always be a true professional always looked real the guy was bloody brilliant!
Always the best there is the best there was the best there ever well be! It's damn true!
And he always tell the truth
