I agree. TBH your comment (plus my own maturation) helped me to understand Bret a bit more. He's always come off as so bitter; but he's lived a pretty emotionally traumatic life & wrestling was all he had/knew since a kid. I think the guy is just a very emotional "wears his heart on his sleeve" kinda dude
The mental strength Bret has is unreal. So MUCH happened with him & his family during the late 90s and early 2000s was insane. It would be hard for anyone to bounce back from that.
@@TheChamp33 Also the "screwjob" in November 97, which I don't want to place blame, but a lot of professional bridges were torched. And also Brian Pillman passing a few weeks earlier.
I have sympathy for him for his brothers death and his concussion that ended his career but not his marriage ending. That one was his own fault. He was sleeping around on his wife with countless women for several years and his wife was a sweet lady.
Bret has dealt with a lot of pain and suffering in his life and people till this day find him bitter and angry. Until you understand Bret’s path and journey you will never know.
he’s a strong man , lot of men commit suicide over less things. his stress definitely impacted his health but he’s a hell of a fighter , the lone survivor of the hart foundation
People say Bret had no charisma but that’s not true . He did not have a put on charisma . He had real man charisma in spades . He was his generations Harley Race . Nothing seemed fake including his demeanor .
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 His whole aura was just straight up being a man of character . Even when he was heeling and wrong he played it for truth . He seemed to be above lying about his motives . He believed what he said and he maintained that by never saying anything too far divorced from the truth .
Bret doesn’t lie, skirt the issues, act like a chicken shit . He always gives it to you straight and like a man. Which is more then I can say for a lot of the other guys of that time.
You know, I can’t even think of in the WWF any cowardly heel stuff he did, people were just mad he was jumping stone cold and talking bad about America.
If they waited, he probably would have found out by seeing the news on TV screens at the terminal gate, or once his cell phone got a signal on the tarmac. I think the people who told Bret did the right thing.
@@douglasjarnagan3835 He probably didn’t even have a cell phone at that time. They were around, but Not a lot of people owned one. Plus, to make a call on one was kinda experience.
Then ppl wonder why he's bitter. Ptsd for starters, losing some1 that was beloved & his' youngest brother. In all honesty I didn't like how Owen handled breaking SC's neck. By all accounts he was a good man.
LMAO he's bitter since I know him. Approx 1991.... there was always smth very off about him. Other ppl lose close ones by the age of 7, 13.... happens daily.
Shut the fk up, you don't know the first thing about the guy. Every single wrestler speaks exceptionally highly of Bret both as a wrestler and a person. Don't act like you know better than people who actually know him.@@BEEyonced
I truly feel for Bret. You can tell how his body language shifts when he starts talking about his brother. His cousin Roddy Piper also got shaky and raspy in interviews whenever Owen came up. 😢
@@gossamer1234 I used to listen to him religiously back when I had a job where I drove most of the day. Fell out of touch with his show about 10-11 years ago and got hooked on all the ESPN debate type shows which now I don't follow any of that type of stuff, so I'm really not sure what he's been doing 🤔
My aunt got the call about her 13 year old son taking his own life while she was in heavy traffic on the freeway. She was such a wreck, obviously, that it caused her to misjudge the next slow down and rear end someone at 35 mph, which sadly proved fatal for the elderly passenger 4 days later.
A lot of people going on about Owen breaking Austin's neck and not apologising. He actually did apologise but Austin said Owen should've rang him everyday to apologise for the injury.
In his defense, Austin thought the apology was BS. That is because on his first match back in the ring Owen wore a shirt that said “Owen 3:16….I just broke your neck”. Austin did not find it amusing
I understand their needing to let him know and the fear that he could somehow find out from another passenger. But social media wasn’t prevalent back then, so they should have waited till he landed and then had someone meet him at arrivals to convey the bad news.
Social media wouldn't have mattered anyway... almost 2 years after Owen's death, was when the first internet connected phone was released, and internet connection wasn't available on planes then either. [Without the plane's phone] There's no way that Bret would have known about it, from another person on board/learned about it from an online source, prior to landing.
the lifting device used by the wwf (e) for owen looked so unsafe but how did the 6lbs of pressure needed to unlatch the clip get appiled? id love to see mythbusters on that
@@BlueGlitterNightit had nothing to do with pressure to un-clip. the feathers or fluff that was apart of his costume got caught in between the clip and he tried to rip it out which caused him to drop. he was in his "Blue Blazer" costume
I give Bret a hard time, but this goes beyond that and it makes me sad he lost his bro. Tough times, RiP Owen and Im sorry Bret had to endure something so devastating
having to find out something like that while being stuffed in a tube with hundreds of people must be a super stressful experience 😔 so its good he was in first class with only a couple people i guess, rip Owen
The person who did the harness rigging was obviously done in this profession afterward. Except he wasn’t - his name is Bobby talbert. Bastard also does cena’s stunts. Hollywood and Dwayne and Vince are evil as hell.
Dude, why would you ask a question like that? Thats really messed up, it's tough to bring up with someone you are close to, let alone someone you see on T.V. The interviewer asks it like how was your morning Brett?
God bless Bret hart may Godalmighty continue to give the wisdom patience and virtue to overcome difficult challenges and obstacles he may face or encounter he has a great heart ❤ God bless Stu hart for raising A great son and one of the greatest scientific wrestlers of all time thank you Bret
No phones worked but he found out that he died up in the air in the Era of little cellphones and no internet on planes... does this make sense? Who told him and how did they know
@@Truth3305 yea the phones on planes back then were a crap shoot even in first class mid flight. He probably got paged to contact someone he knew and then got the news that way.
I know Rome asked him about finding out his brother died on a cross country flight He should've been really upbeat when he told the story about finding out his brother fell to his death You're a real bright one aren't you
Rome is one of the worst human beings in all broadcast media, and that’s saying a lot. I have worked in the field since the late 90s, and have met Rome a handful of times, been at the same functions, etc., and he is awful. Just awful…
Something that just occurred to me about Owens death ..why the fuck was he even in WWE at that point to begin with since Brett was just not even two years removed from the organization after Vince screwed him… Just wonder why Owen didn’t show any loyalty
Owen actually did want to leave with Bret, Niedhart, and bulldog But Vince had refused to let Owen out of his contract so he couldn't leave and was basically stuck between a rock and a hard place pretty much.
