Bret Hart EMOTIONAL Over Andre The Giant Memories 

THERE SHOULD BE A CASE STUDY ON THIS MAN,,,,, WHAT A LIFE HE HAD

I think he's very charismatic in a room telling stories or talking the business. That's not the same as charismatic in front of 15k people.

@@BackwardGalaxy i respectfully disagree, you have to watch him in 1997. it took him a few years to find his feet on the mic mind 🤣

Bret has a R Truth angle to him

100%

❤️❤️❤️❤️ very moving and heart touching to hear and see the words of the moment expressed. Top blokes ❤️❤️💪

They wrestled once in Milan in 1989. Surprised he forgot that.

@@davidsosa3303 wasn't it that place he mentioned in the talk?

​@@jamieoliver7947yeah this guy clearly didn't watch the video

@@brigrantyou’re a lot nicer then me. David is a frackin idjit. Takes the time to write, can’t be bothered to watch the videos

The stuff produced by Inside The Ropes is generally of pretty fantastic level.

Yes he is. Bret love hearing your stories. Thank You.

Love Hearing Brett tell these awesome stories😎

Ya Bret is great man with legendary career 🙏

Yeah I think that's part of the thing with Bret seeming bitter at the world - everyone he really looked up to and respected is gone now, and even most of the people he came up with in his own generation (Bulldog, Anvil, Owen, Pillman) are also gone. Add in the fact that his legacy was forever charred by the screwjob...someone can only take so much heartache in life before they get like that. And sure Bret's got an ego too, but he's really a wounded guy.

He has and will be my favorite. Long live the hart foundation!!!❤

Bretts is my mount Rushmore anyway. He was THE guy after Hulk Hogan in rhe the 80s.

Same

That's one thing bitter OR NOT Bret has had work ethic.

He's more Canadian than Canadian's are.

The one thing Bret struggled with the most before Owen's death was that he thought he wasn't loved by the fans. Me and my late dad, but especially my late dad, are / were really big fans of his. My dad only wanted to watch Bret. He saw all those other guys he's talking about in the video, but Bret was his idol. As for me, to this day I still hum his entrance theme song from time to time, and still get goose bumps when he makes rare appearances and that electric guitar starts playing.

They were good friends, although Andre didn't like one of the harts I think it was Bruce or Smith (forgive my memory), because of the way he drove andre and bret to either an arena or an airport at over 100 mph, bret told the story in a shoot video that's on RU-vid still, i think it way kayfabe commentaries.

​@@willjohnboy he tells this story in his book. Andre was PISSED

I think most wrestlers do. Seems like I heard Triple H speaking about him in much the same way before. And I think it goes beyond just Respect for the original Larger Than Life pro wrestling superstar. I think most wrestlers, especially ones that were passionate fans first, understand that without Andre everything else WWE, Wrestlemania, Hulkamania, VKM himself aren't as successful and probably don't even come close to becoming the multibillion dollar global juggernaut we have now. Andre was the rock solid concrete slab Titan Towers and the WWE pro wrestling/sports entertainment machine was built on. After all, Savage and Steamboat arguably the greatest wrestling match of all time between 2 GOAT wrestlers....but if Hogan doesn't slam The Giant and take the title in front of 93000 people that night, does WWE survive the early to mid 90s long enough to see Austin 3:16 or The Peoples Champ? Does.Hulkamania have the same momentum to withstand the test of time, carrying Hogan and the WWE as long as it did? VKM and Hogan found a recipe for creating a "sports entertainment" superstar and wrestlings Super Bowl. But Andre was an attraction on his own that preceded it all, and the key ingredient in that recipe.

He dropped his victim character

He circled around those stories like he never wanted to finish remembering Andre. Very touching.

I think that Andre could tell that Bret was destined to do great things in wrestling

For sure. Brett has more character than Hogan!

Yes , it sure was. NOT too MANY GOT that honor either.

Andre The Giant was respected and loved by many wrestlers. Andre was the locker room leader before the Undertaker took that role.

@@orangesilver4568 bingo!!! However , The Undertaker NEVER wanted THAT role ; he JUST ended up being the one...

He fed into the era as it was forming, hence his promo he cut on Vince as well as several other promos.

I know this is an old comment but the younger generations DO appreciate Bret. The current fanbase is a lot more "smarky" and aware of wrestling history. The old WWE narratives don't work on us, we know he was one of the best technicians of all time!

Got that right. VERY few got that from Andre.

bret was my favorite when i was a kid, never got the chance to meet him. 25 years ago owen died, might want to change the 35

@@rush437 thank you. I thought it was when I was in my twenties. My screw up.

I've never been star-struck, but I have to say thank you. I think I would've said the exact same thing you did and the fact you had that opportunity and said what you said channeled my exact sentiments. The best there is, was, and ever will be. R.I.P Owen Hart.

That's awesome.

I love this.

It's in the Rankin Museum in Ellerbe, NC.

@@adamlone5548 oh cool. Thanks for letting me know.

from the first time i saw Bret wrestling in the early 90s i have been a fan. he'll always been my fav, and im still bummed about how pretty much his career took a turn for the worst after his run in wcw. they never used him for what he could really do.

@@smiththers2 He should've stayed in the WWE but after seeing his documentary I understand why he felt he needed to leave.

Read his book

For real read his book. Every 10 pages or so is him fucking lol.

I read his book. He gets X rated at times.

Brett wasn’t in the WWF in 98 … smh.. 🙄

*1989

Vince is old school.

is it wrong that I read this in Vince's voice?

@@jimmymcconnie4954. It was obviously a joke, he wasn’t making a historical statement about wrestling 😂😂😂

(COUGHCOUGHCONRADTHOMPSONHACKCOUGH!)

no doubt Vince was aware of Andre's approval of Bret.

You obviously haven’t seen full interviews and only the clipped out bits where blasts somebody - that the internet. He’s always had pretty funny in a dry way.

I would gladly buy one 😊

Not just wrestlers. In one of the tribute videos to him there is a clip of actress Robin Wright talking about when they were making The Princess Bride. She said sometimes on very cold days during shooting Andre would put his enormous hand on her head to keep her warm. She started crying when telling the story so it meant alot to her.

@@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zmthat’s amazing

Bret has this reputation as this serious guy, especially compared to the stories of Owen being a relentless prankster. It made Bret look like the stick in the mud. So the thought of Bret in the back, drawing dicks, is hilarious.

Always amazes me how many wrestlers are great artists as well. Tony Atlas is another one I know of that does some fine sketching/drawing.

⁠jerry lawler as well

I saw his work drawing cartoons of various wwf wresylers on one of the silvervision wwf videos I had back in the 90's, I remember it had him frawing Yokozuna and Undertaker, and i thought Bret's damn good at drawing, if he wasn't a wrestler he could've worked as a cartoon artist.

Amazing story. Amazing punchline. Felt every bit of it.

I met him also in late 80s. He was gigantic to look up at. I was 6'0 and he was at least a foot taller plus 400 pounds plus. He was a true giant forsure

The Undertaker says his biggest regret was not getting to work with Andre The Giant he said Andre came to him and said he has an idea for a program but it never came to fruition before Andre died.

In general good workers that were also great guys have this effect. I think a guy like Steamboat for example. Though there's not many backstage stories about him cause he was always on the straight and narrow, but I don't know anyone in the business that doesn't respect him. Just Like Taker and André.

He isn’t bitter. He just tells it how it is. After what he did in his career and the tragedies he has suffered he has the right to speak his mind.

him and jerry lawler. If I remember right to picture he gave Andre was in his book he wrote.

Hes an even better cupboard

His book has tons of his cartoons

​@@cjaystadrawer is a term used in the uk for someone who draws artwork.

I think Brawler was still a wrestler at the time

I think it's George steele

Dude the Brooklyn Brawler was not one of Brets bosses. It woulda been Bruce or Michael Hayes.

I think it was Chief Jay Strongbow.
