bret hart's autobiography is probably the best book about prowrestling I have ever read. he comes clean about everything, his problems with infidelity, his drug use, his best matches. its just pure excellence
What a rarity. Raw honesty.. as raw as it gets. To tell it like it is without the inte intention of selling big bucks.. for the sake of truth. Mr. Hart sounds genuinely nice person and I remember growing up watching him. He's always been my favorite.. and the reason I am who I am.. to be a nice person and not succumbing to corporate control. Stay honest with oneself..truly honest.. is what i learned from BH. Even if the truth is hard to swallow at times. Thanks Mr. Hart for being a great person!
Wow, that was beyond interesting. I have so much respect for Bret Hart...I grew up in the 80's and 90's and he was always one of my favorites to watch as a kid. Its a sad story but I'm glad to see he came out of everything okay. Thanks for posting!
Bret Hart is one of my favorite wrestlers to watch and listen. After watching Bret Hart's OFF THE RECORD, now I want read his book which happens to be out now in bookstores.
only thing in this interview i disagree with him about is him referring to mick foley saying he doesnt understand the history, foley grew up as an avid wrestling fan and used to skip important classes etc to goto wrestling shows... i think he understands the history.... bret hart is a legend and i have alot of respect for him, especially after this interview
i going to be meeting bret in october in ireland when he comes over, ill have a pic wit him cause he is one of the best there was, the best there is and the best of the best
and yeah bret's book is the best wrestling book ever. fact, it lacks the comedic wit of foley and jericho...but its the most knowledgeable, in depth, brutally honest, fact filled journey of life..poetry in motion
i think he says 'aside from mankind' as if he was the only one he thought knew a bit about old school. i am no fan-boy but i think that's what he said. big up bret hart. owen hart R.I.P.
lol saying Landsberg has no respect for Bret. He has probably MORE respect for him than ANY guest he has ever had on his show. They are even friends in real life.
Bret Hart has to be one of the best to have ever wrestled. But his shot at Mick Foley was unnecessary. Great interview though, you've got to respect his honesty.
Bret and Shawn are mid level card fillers compared to Hogan. Honestly they didn’t draw much as champion. If they did they would of held the title more times and longer. That mountain is Hogan, Austin, Flair and I’ll let you fill in the last one.
i never got to meet Bret but I got very close to him once. I was watching him talk to a couple of kids but before I could approach him he walked off. I did, however, meet Owen once and I have a picture of me and him where I'm holding his tag team belt (w/ Yokozuna).
if i had one wish, it would be to meet bret heart... 1 on 1 no cam nobody but me and him for a talk. i first saw bret in 92 n i also seen the match with hbk n him in 60 min match and the raw deal. bret your a childhood hero and i really hope to see one of your kids wrestle, just not 4 vince. thank you bret for everything.
3:51 "Do whatever it takes to get home. Don't lose your mind doing this stuff"...Yet in 1997 he did just that!...I love & respect Bret, but tons of his interviews are filled with contradictions...I bought his DVD and there too he contradicts himself endlessly...
I really dont know why Bret said that. Bret and Foley have tremendous respect for each other. Foley is an admirer of his and Bret called him a great wrestler in his book. That remark was on off I guess.
Great Interview but I agree melanotanman that the music and cutting Bret Hart off was wrong. Especially when he was talking about Hennig, he just cut him off. I hate when shows do disrespectful stuff. If anything record the interview all at once, then cut for commercials around the questions being answered in full. Bret Hart deserves that respect.
when did this take place? he refered to Benoit and he passed about a year or 2 ago i believe from now(03/09). we need HBK and Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 25.
Man that's just sad when he's talking about it. I could easily see how Owen would go to big brother for guidance in everything, and I definitely believe Bret would not have allowed Owen to do that dangerous stunt.
no they were brought it for an on-air angle and they started taping backstage stuff for their show and they pulled the plug on it. i'd bet the wrestlers found those guys irritating BEFORE they set foot backstage.
Funny, most wreslters always regret missing time with family :S... thumbs up to hhh haha this courtesan, kept his family inside the wrestling business haha !
i'll always maintain that montreal was a complete work from start to finish and bret only took issue when it effected his legacy. AE did a documentary and there's NO WAY vince would allow cameras or hidden mics or anything w/out total control. ask the guys from jackass.
bret hart, i love you, but your wrong abotu mick foley. he is a wrestling lover, hes just different. he brought in a different kind of wrestling. and that should be respected. even if it isnt tradis.
@IDIOTdella He would have stayed if Vince hadn't cut his contract cause he could no longer afford to pay him what he had signed for 4 or 5 years prior to the screw job. So Bret left so Vince could keep going as promotion and also so Vince could give a few million to ECW to keep them going so that way WCW WWF would have a alternate program to keep the fans split
he definitly is justified in Most things he says but he does need to realize he does sound like a complainer no matter what,,i do feel for him tho,.....
Oh shut up with the host interrupting Bret. He's just trying to keep the interview interesting and get to discuss all the matters he's supposed to. There's a time limit, you know.
the thing i've noticed and I know i'm going to draw flack by this but I don't care. Brett and Hogan pretty much say the same things, they both bash wrestlers and praise others and say the exact opposite about individual wrestlers so it all comes down to who you believe and I believe neither of them. I think they both are just saying what they're saying for the next paycheck. We will never know the truth and neither one is telling it.
I want hart vs mcmahon street fight with hbk s ref hitting sweet chin music on mcmahon for hart ot get 123! Also hbk vs taker 2 and cena vs rock with the rock winning after 13 seconds to prove cenas shit unless he fights a good wrestler..
no it actually probablly will if ur an internet wrestling fan who looks things up you will see that mcmahon will fight hart at mania since he is signed until mania. Also if u think about it do u really think hbk will stay out of this fued? He wont even be involved? U gotta think a little too and take what news u get on the internet unless ur like 12 than u have no clue haa
@Dwiz316 Yeah hogan thinks he is wrestling wich is a shame, he should had put over randy in his last match with wwe and should have come back to put over young guys but NOOOO he has to be the ridiculous self centered guy...he doesnt do whats right for wrestling only what is right for him, TNA RIP
as a kid back in the late 80's and early 90's bret was without doubt the best there was,the best there is and the best there ever will be.
Not in the 80’s he wasn’t. He was a bottom of the card filler back then maxed out in a tag team division.
bret hart's autobiography is probably the best book about prowrestling I have ever read. he comes clean about everything, his problems with infidelity, his drug use, his best matches. its just pure excellence
What a rarity. Raw honesty.. as raw as it gets. To tell it like it is without the inte intention of selling big bucks.. for the sake of truth.

Even if the truth is hard to swallow at times. Thanks Mr. Hart for being a great person!
Brett Hart is the reason why I watch WWF or WWE
Wow, that was beyond interesting. I have so much respect for Bret Hart...I grew up in the 80's and 90's and he was always one of my favorites to watch as a kid. Its a sad story but I'm glad to see he came out of everything okay. Thanks for posting!
Bret is a LEGEND undeniably.
Bret Hart is one of my favorite wrestlers to watch and listen. After watching Bret Hart's OFF THE RECORD, now I want read his book which happens to be out now in bookstores.
Bret really was right, because his book was unbelievable.
only thing in this interview i disagree with him about is him referring to mick foley saying he doesnt understand the history, foley grew up as an avid wrestling fan and used to skip important classes etc to goto wrestling shows... i think he understands the history.... bret hart is a legend and i have alot of respect for him, especially after this interview
bret, we all still love you and miss you. Bret will go down as the best there is, the best there was, and truly the best there ever will be
Bret's book is awesome actualy!!
bret seems so honest!
So did Obama. Remember even Hitler convinced thousands to fight for him.
Bret Hart the goat
i going to be meeting bret in october in ireland when he comes over, ill have a pic wit him cause he is one of the best there was, the best there is and the best of the best
I LOVE BRRT HART FROM PAKISTAN
Please just let Bret talk man...Hes the reason we all watch this!
i like that he was honest about the austin-owen thing, it takes a man to admit that his brother didnt do the right thing
This guy keeps it pretty real!!
true and he seems like an easy guy to talk too
her also seems very open minded and willing to listen to you
putting the ultimate warrior into the match would be a slap to the face of those other wrestlers and their careers.
Guys like Bret, Eddie, Hennig, Benoit, Steamboat, Flair were and are amazing to watch perform.
Love the Keg sign behind Brett, real classy....
that owen qoute almost brought tears to my eyes
Because is an extremely interesting topic to many people.
and yeah bret's book is the best wrestling book ever. fact, it lacks the comedic wit of foley and jericho...but its the most knowledgeable, in depth, brutally honest, fact filled journey of life..poetry in motion
love the comments its so true. Dude cant stop talking, but they're on a schedule, so there is a reason for his cutoffs
i think he says 'aside from mankind' as if he was the only one he thought knew a bit about old school. i am no fan-boy but i think that's what he said.
big up bret hart.
owen hart R.I.P.
lol saying Landsberg has no respect for Bret. He has probably MORE respect for him than ANY guest he has ever had on his show. They are even friends in real life.
I get all emo when I watch this.
It's so sad when he talks about Owen and Bulldog and Hennig. But I'm so happy he's happier and doing well.
Comment of the month. I dont necessarily agree with Hardy comment. But the Cena comment is spot on. I dont think it can be said better.
Bret Hart has to be one of the best to have ever wrestled. But his shot at Mick Foley was unnecessary. Great interview though, you've got to respect his honesty.
I love Bret, but he sure whynes alot
Bret, Shawn, Hogan. That's the top of the mountain.
Bret and Shawn are mid level card fillers compared to Hogan. Honestly they didn’t draw much as champion. If they did they would of held the title more times and longer. That mountain is Hogan, Austin, Flair and I’ll let you fill in the last one.
i never got to meet Bret but I got very close to him once. I was watching him talk to a couple of kids but before I could approach him he walked off. I did, however, meet Owen once and I have a picture of me and him where I'm holding his tag team belt (w/ Yokozuna).
bret is a smart guy
BRET USED TO BE SO BETTER BACK THEN BUT IT GOOD LET IT GO !!!!!
same here!!
oh i went back and watched it again, my bad, you are right haha
if i had one wish, it would be to meet bret heart... 1 on 1 no cam nobody but me and him for a talk. i first saw bret in 92 n i also seen the match with hbk n him in 60 min match and the raw deal. bret your a childhood hero and i really hope to see one of your kids wrestle, just not 4 vince. thank you bret for everything.
I don't know about you guys but now all I want to do is go eat at the Keg Steakhouse and Bar!
3:51 "Do whatever it takes to get home. Don't lose your mind doing this stuff"...Yet in 1997 he did just that!...I love & respect Bret, but tons of his interviews are filled with contradictions...I bought his DVD and there too he contradicts himself endlessly...
yeah i like brett but he was on roids and coke
S ai Lol delusional
Ooooooh I wish they would archive the run-off. All I heard was "stress" and "Mordecai Richler"
I agree.
all U need is a 6 pack & his new book & U're just as good as there.
LOL
I really dont know why Bret said that. Bret and Foley have tremendous respect for each other. Foley is an admirer of his and Bret called him a great wrestler in his book. That remark was on off I guess.
Great Interview but I agree melanotanman that the music and cutting Bret Hart off was wrong. Especially when he was talking about Hennig, he just cut him off. I hate when shows do disrespectful stuff. If anything record the interview all at once, then cut for commercials around the questions being answered in full. Bret Hart deserves that respect.
Check the battle royal from wrestlemania 2, Tha was the 1st time I realised Bret was gonna be a star. I got it right for once!
@Rogue5863 i'm glad i'm not the only one to think this.
His current book is pretty much all inclusive of HIS life.However, he may be writing one about Owen or Stu to detail their lives.
Damn you Goldberg!!!
Even Gorgeous George, who i don't remember, are childhood memories for me. LMAO
when did this take place?
he refered to Benoit and he passed about a year or 2 ago i believe from now(03/09).
we need HBK and Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 25.
What's funnier. I've written that on every one of these interviews I've watched.
Do you have the Off The Record with Shawn Michaels that the host mentioned earlier? That would be interesting to see.
i'd pay to watch that
no bad feelings, accident happens
this was back in 2003
problem is, who would win?
Man that's just sad when he's talking about it. I could easily see how Owen would go to big brother for guidance in everything, and I definitely believe Bret would not have allowed Owen to do that dangerous stunt.
no they were brought it for an on-air angle and they started taping backstage stuff for their show and they pulled the plug on it. i'd bet the wrestlers found those guys irritating BEFORE they set foot backstage.
Funny, most wreslters always regret missing time with family :S... thumbs up to hhh haha this courtesan, kept his family inside the wrestling business haha !
@donnywharfare no it was not a raw episode it was a pay per view
cept the 13 sec match with rock an cena I can see rock doin the match tho just one more time
it's funny cause it's true...
i'll always maintain that montreal was a complete work from start to finish and bret only took issue when it effected his legacy. AE did a documentary and there's NO WAY vince would allow cameras or hidden mics or anything w/out total control. ask the guys from jackass.
bret hart, i love you, but your wrong abotu mick foley. he is a wrestling lover, hes just different. he brought in a different kind of wrestling. and that should be respected. even if it isnt tradis.
whats up with the chat line music when bret's talking about something sad?
Very disrespectful, I agree.
@IDIOTdella He would have stayed if Vince hadn't cut his contract cause he could no longer afford to pay him what he had signed for 4 or 5 years prior to the screw job. So Bret left so Vince could keep going as promotion and also so Vince could give a few million to ECW to keep them going so that way WCW WWF would have a alternate program to keep the fans split
and Angle :)
Think about all he's been through...would you smile often either?
he definitly is justified in Most things he says but he does need to realize he does sound like a complainer no matter what,,i do feel for him tho,.....
@vfgjhj He said in his book that Bill was a good guy but was too green and thats why things happened the way they did.
"20 seconds left", wtf, have respect man, he's on your fukin show, this isnt random sports analyst that you were used to having on OTR
I wonder what Bret Hart thinks of Goldberg.
Airdate?
@bobolob Great comment - am still laughing after an hour!
Brett Hart is great but so sad blame himself for not being there to save Owen.
Oh shut up with the host interrupting Bret. He's just trying to keep the interview interesting and get to discuss all the matters he's supposed to.
There's a time limit, you know.
You have 20 seconds left, you were saying?
if he knew he wouldn't constantly claim he is werstling and the greated legend of all time blah blah
That OTR Theme is bloody irritating
You mean 'skinny'?
Remind me not to shop at Grafton & Co....
@xismxist edit! it said 2017 LOL
the thing i've noticed and I know i'm going to draw flack by this but I don't care. Brett and Hogan pretty much say the same things, they both bash wrestlers and praise others and say the exact opposite about individual wrestlers so it all comes down to who you believe and I believe neither of them. I think they both are just saying what they're saying for the next paycheck. We will never know the truth and neither one is telling it.
Everybody hates Landsberg yet he is still the host. What the fuck ?
5:53 iagree!
I want hart vs mcmahon street fight with hbk s ref hitting sweet chin music on mcmahon for hart ot get 123! Also hbk vs taker 2 and cena vs rock with the rock winning after 13 seconds to prove cenas shit unless he fights a good wrestler..
hogan wont know the history?......he started young.....
no it actually probablly will if ur an internet wrestling fan who looks things up you will see that mcmahon will fight hart at mania since he is signed until mania. Also if u think about it do u really think hbk will stay out of this fued? He wont even be involved? U gotta think a little too and take what news u get on the internet unless ur like 12 than u have no clue haa
In other words it's easy to cheat on your woman on the road for all that time
Oh dear jesus, he's talking about he's got nothing to fill a book with regarding anything from his life, not the interview.
This guy has no respect for Bret. The music plays while he's talking. Plus several of his questions are rather stupid.
They just want the "juicy tid-bits", wow, I agree, a slap in the face of a wrestling legend.
jokes.
ever way
all he does is cry about things that happen 12 years ago
@Dwiz316 Yeah hogan thinks he is wrestling wich is a shame, he should had put over randy in his last match with wwe and should have come back to put over young guys but NOOOO he has to be the ridiculous self centered guy...he doesnt do whats right for wrestling only what is right for him, TNA RIP
what the hell man he is talking about wrestlers dying and that stupid music is playing over him? production fail much?
Bret Hart is over rated
thejoker14122 nope loser
