Top 10? Nah.he's not top 10 but he isn't half as bad as Hickenbottom or Cripple H. His post WM 13 promo is better mic work than anything those two ever did.
3 Reasons why Bret Hart is possibly the most overrated wrestler.
- Thread starter ecks12
- Start date
I don't understand how all these people are saying the Attitude era happened after Bret. Bret BIRTHED the Attitude era.
His match with Austin at WM13 made Austin a star.

no it fukking isn't. He had the belt for 2 months, and WCW was already on it's downward spiral. That short reign wasn't going to save shyt. Ben0it/Sid/Nash/Sid/Jarrett/Page were the champs to follow for Christ sakes.

Jesus I thought Vince was the GOAT at rewriting history but some of you cats are gunning for his crown.
The KOTR made him a star
KOTR got him over with the fans, but the fued with Bret is what made Stone Cold main event material.
Bret used to be cussing his ass off... young be was like
Where's the link of him calling Michaels and Levasque homos and then just walking off stage with them looking shook as fukk?

SWEEEEEEEEEETNESS!
Define popularity, the #'s say otherwise. Name some Bret classics that didn't involve HBK or Austin. What about those epic feuds with Lawler and Yokozuna?
What? Are you mad he gave another kid his sunglasses instead of you or something?
Was Owen better overall, yes (Bret even said that)
Was Bret a formulaic wrestler? Yes but what legend isnt?
But the ratings bullshyt aint an argument. It isnt with Shawn either. That was the post Hogan adjustment period. Rule of business. After every boom period, there is a cool down period. 93-96 was that cool down period. The landscape drastically changed and it needed to adjust. No one was replacing Hogan at that point. Revisionist history will NOT change that fact either.
Bret's mic work was hugely underrated at times. The Hart Foundation 97 era, his shyt was on. Him and Austin seemed more like a shoot than his actual heat w/ HBK.
Bret made it seem real. More than I can say for 80% of the bums nowadays.
