9. I usually highlight the wrestler's cons first and Bret doesn't really have much cons wrestling wise but business wise he was pretty bad. As someone said, it always came off as if he wasn't in the title picture, he'd be a totally prick backstage. I don't know the history well but whenever he loses, it's a memorable tirade afterward. Montreal is obvious but almost everything with Shawn, he couldn't hide his hate for him at all in the ring. And yes, I do believe Bret screwed Bret.

GOAT in the ring. Rocking pink/black was iconic. Not the greatest on the mic but I believed every word he said. His attitude and his WCW run is the only knock I have on him but the stuff with Sasso was p dope and he had a rap song dedicated to him, even appeared in the video.

10. He's the GOAT in-ring ever. Wrestled the greatest and most important match in WrestleMania history. Numerous classics. Put his common opponents with other top tier workers and I feel his matches come out on top more often. The ultimate working babyface in the early 90s and then re-invented himself as a top tier heel in '97 with great promo work. HitGOAT forever

10 perfect rival to HBGOAT and while different just as good in ring.

There's a real argument to be made that Bret Hart is the single most important talent to wrestling the United States in the 1990s.

The previous top guys in WWE didn't do shyt to help him out. Hogan didn't put him over. Warrior didn't put him over. Macho didn't put him over. He won the title from an on his way out the door Ric Flair (top guy from the other company no less) in a dark match that didn't get released on tape until months after the fact, and was never shown on TV anyway. But as top guy, guys Bret put on the map as serious top level talents: HBK, Razor Ramon, Chris Benoit, Diesel, 123 Kid, and of course the one he personally went out of his way to king make when the company didn't even get it, Steve Austin.

Think of all the shyt that came from those guys. The NWO, Austin vs McMahon, the Attitude Era as a whole, Austin makes Rock (who was mentored by Bret in WWF), Rock makes Jericho/Benoit/Angle/Brock, damn near everyone ever associated with Rock is elevated besides Billy Gunn. Through Benoit being taken seriously by WCW because of Bret and that carrying over to WWE, you get Eddie/Rey/Edge (also mentored by Bret). And it just goes on and on.

From Bret you get Stone Cold, Mr. McMahon, DX, the NWO, the Attitude Era as a whole.


Bret GOATman Hart

 

[Amor fati]

I give him a 9 overall he was the full package at times, though at times he'd be trash or meh with certain wrestlers.

I liked his 1997 heel run, Bret was pissed with everyone and America

OH shyt nice find, that video is literally unknown amongst wrestling fans.

Probably the best wrestler I can't get into anymore. For some reason I began to feel like I was watching a "perfect" wrestling robot that couldn't quite connect with me. I used to love watching him though, and there's no question he was insanely good at what he did.

 

[dbp]

I'm saying 9.

Look: 9. His stature fit his character, and the pink/black + sunglasses was cool. Had some razzle-dazzle without straying too far into cartoon-land

Wrestling: 10. Some say he's boring, and it's true that he's not the flashiest...but for a real fight feel with good storytelling, he can't be beat.

Mic: Can't really give him higher than 8. Older stuff was bland, but the heel '97 stuff is underrated.

Everything he said / did felt real, and the opposite of a lot of guys today that seem like they're dressing up and playing pretend wrestler. The biz' needs more like him right now.

Oh and 10/10 entrance theme.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

Can't even front 10.

His average mic work kinda added to his character imo.Made him feel more real.

 

[Nintendough]

Only thing cool about him was his ring gear and jerri curl. Same 4 moves, looked like he could only bench 200 lbs.


4/10. HBGOAT wins

 

[Cartier Murphy]

What can I say about him that hasn’t already been said One of my personal GOATs, I think an argument can be made for one of the actual GOATs, one of the most influential, skilled in-ring talents I’ve ever seen. 10/10
