Road Dogg: I don't think Bret Hart was a great wrestler. I think I was a better sports entertainer than Bret was and I think that's where the money is

On the latest "Oh You Didn't Know" podcast, Road Dogg talked about the Montreal Screwjob. Road Dogg was asked if he thought the WWE losing Bret Hart was the

Road Dogg was asked if he thought the WWE losing Bret Hart was the final nail in their war with WCW:

"For me, personally, and that's all you're gonna get from me ever is because that's all I got. It's my only reference point. I never saw what the big deal was with Bret Hart as a performer. I never understood it. He was a great worker, and I thought about saying good, but he was a great worker. He worked better than me, 10-fold. Worked circles around me. Don't ever think that I've told anybody I was a good wrestler, because I haven't, and if you've listened to my podcast, you know that's true. I don't think I was a good wrestler. I don't think Bret was a great wrestler. I think I was a better sports entertainer than Bret was and I think that's where the money is.”

Thoughts? Was the Dogg better than the Hitman?

Road Dawg did entertain me. And he was a team player. But they're two different calibers of wrestler. Very polarizing comment though.

He need DDP Yoga cause he must be smoking some dope and needs help.

He forgot to attach this in the article

I see where he’s coming from but the fact he doesn’t think Bret was a great wrestler makes everything else redundant

Bret sold more tickets, ppvs, and merch than road dogg could ever dream of. There is no level where brett wasnt superior. On the mic, in the ring, attire, hairstyle, anywhere

I would argue Bret's even a better pure entertainer, all Road dog did was repeat the same intro over and over. He's practically Enzo

Dude Been Involved With Wrestling All His Life So He Has No Excuse Being That Stupid

Bret was a great wrestler and his 97 run alone entertained me more than any diatribes that road dogg was spitting through his whole career..there are many reasons why Bret was champ and why Road Dogg was not

How do you use "that's where the money is" when comparing your skill-set to someone who made more money than you? What are you talking about?

 

[Wolfpac]

“Maybe so but he wasn’t a better wrestler or worker than me. But you know who he was definitely better than? That no-good POS Goldberg.”

Choad Dogg is such a fukkin lame. Can’t even remember one match he was in.

Idk about that but he's right that losing Bret at worst didn't hurt them, and may have helped.

To all the new wrestling fans, particularly kids, tuning unto WWF in 98-99, and there were a lot of them, they needed as few stale, boring gimmicks as possible. "I'm a top competitor in this great sport of ours" and "Canadian guy who criticizes America" were wrasslin type gimmicks that the Attitude Era thrived in getting away from.
