Bret Hart on Wresting With Shadows Documentary 

Stew’s basement and stories kind of weirded me out.

Finally someone who talks sense

Attitude Era was before Bret

Bret would have been awesome during the Attitude Era. Matches vs Kurt Angle and again with Rock, Triple H, Stone Cold etc. WCW were a joke. The arrival of Bret Hart should have pushed them way above the then WWE but they messed up so bad.

WCW was hogan's playground. ERIC didn't know what todo with stars like Brett. For WCW was all NWO only

In WCW defense Bret jumped to Nitro in the worst situation possible. WCW was at the very peak running the the white hot NWO/Hogan vs WCW/sting angle leading towards starrcade and storyline wise Bret had no business inserting himself in the main event.

@Cadillac Matrix seeing as NWO was signing up everybody, you don't think Sting could have down with another ally or something?

Bret got potatoed by Goldberg which led to the end of his wrestling career after suffering a concussion due to it.

Only 2 big promotions at that time. ECW doesn't qualify. Just didn't have the platform and maybe too much violence.

@@curthennig9448 so what if it was too much violence? That's ECWs identity.

@@rubengonzalez8679 I do understand that but it would limit their ability in becoming a major promotion because TV stations would shy away from extreme violence.

💯

I believe it was from 5 years ago.

I heard Teddy Hart will be making a movie about Bret Hart, and his Cat will be the director 🙀

Well I don't think so, ever saw Lonesome Dove The Outlaw Years? that was the most violent think on tv. And I will just like to say El Dandy u are one hell of a rasslar

He just seems very arrogant

@@joetamburello6292 At times he does come across like he was the King of kings.

He was cartoony too he had a rockstar persona

@@joetamburello6292 I see it as him knowing his worth. Like Bruce Lee allegedly said, "If I told you I'm the best, you'd think I'm bragging, but if I told you I'm not, you'd know I'm lying"

@@tafua_a never compare Bret Hart to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee as a master while Bret….wasn’t 😂

I don't think it's fair to say Stone Cold was in his prime at WM13, He was gaining momentum as a heel sure, but the double turn made him even hotter and by the time we get to WM14, Austin was not only super popular, he was the freshest thing in the buisiness since the nWo. The WM14 match was him being anointed, 98-99 was his prime years.

Hahahaha

Yeah she's got those hips too

I disagree with u both, Bret Hart was way hotter...especially how he said u Screwed Me! in like a Constipated way😍

@@leighlowe1069 They both did say it, but Nash went into details, like explaining that not all of the footage in Wrestling with Shadows was from the documentary film crew; they got permission to use some footage from WWE - all the official Survivor Series footage that was used was from WWE, including when Bret destroyed the monitors and spelled W C W in the ring. Nash makes very convincing arguments. Everybody won (financially) as a result of Montreal, except that WCW fumbled when it came to booking Bret.

Well he was

Flair old, Hogan stale, sting booked like sh#t, Rude hurt and on drugs, Perfect on drugs, Macho McMahon issues, Jake drugs…..

nWo ruled the world in 1996 Austin ruled the world in 97

​@@HoustonT17I'd say 98 onwards was Austin for sure 97 maybe...2000 was the rock all the way

Nor should he. He’s the best to ever lace them up.

I don't think Bret would be considered a pathological liar. Big ego at times: Yes

Absolutely not. His book is the best wrestler autobiography, and nobody has ever rebuked anything that he's ever had to say. Even Shawn Michaels, before they even made up in the ring, hemmed and hawed when approached about what Bret had to say about their relationship and the backstage political environment.

The Kliq always defended their own, but ultimately, they all knew that Bret was in the right. Kevin Nash has some great opinions on all of the 1996 and 1997 drama on his podcast.

When Bret left in 97 there was a noticeable gap that last for like two weeks. It really felt like the air was knocked out. That’s how impactful he was.

From 92 onwards, when Bret was not on top, the product noticeably suffered. Even Shawn Michaels wasn't able to keep it stabilized as much as Bret (had he been less of a dick, he might have though)

There's truth in what he says, even if he does sound arrogant. He put HBK and Austin over at wrestlemania. He had a really believable style, at a time when everyone was sick of the over the top style that Hogan and Flair had.

He’s the best there is, best there was, best there ever will be, best there was and best there ever will be. That may sound confusing, but it’s not since he also invented time travel

🤣

He also created the figure 4 on the post

Don’t be dumb on purpose

@@leighlowe1069 faked owens death too. He's coming back. See you next Tuesday

Nwo had a nice 3 year run. Hart much longer

To be fair, Bret has always completely ignored any wrestling outside of the WWF. According to Jim Cornette, when the Midnight Express met the Hart Foundation outside the arena one night, Bret asked Owen who were those guys who were talking to Jim Neidhart, and Owen said "the best tag team in the world". "I thought we were the best tag team in the world" said Bret, and Owen was like "you wish!"

Oh dear. So sad

@@Scott-bh2qb it's sad you think a stunt like that would have worked without Bret's knowledge

@@adarbarrush really sad that you live n conspiracy

@@Scott-bh2qb right, because a seasoned veteran with multiple friends and family members in the same company decide to all show up on the same day and with a Tv crew and Vince McMahon would allow Bret to have a mic on him

Your kind are the flat earthers of the wrestling community.

Who did?

@@williewest2998 Gilberg and Glacier. Another dream match we never got😢

frosty balls

He didn't actually say that. He said Sgt. Slaughter told him that he saved wrestling.

What doesn't add up is it being a work. Why would Vince develop the most talked about "angle" for the last 25 years, build a sympathetic Babyface out of his former world champion and then send him to wcw to prosper and continue the momentum? Obviously, wcw didnt continue the momentum because they were stupid and let politics destroy the company. Vince wouldn't have known that was going to happen though in 1997. He can't assume wcw would botch bret hart as bad as they did. You would have to assume anyone who isn't incompetent would get some value out of the best "angle" ever being served to them in a silver platter. It makes no sense for Vince to do that.. Heck, you might say that the plan worked for wwf in creating the Vince McMahon character. Look back though, Vince didn't know what he had there either. He was trying to come off as the good guy saying Bret screwed Bret and "the time honored tradition blah blah". It was only after weeks of realizing the fans hated him for it that he pivoted and became the heel we know. Bit of a long response but to sum it up lol, it being a work makes no sense for me.

@@josereyes1148 Personally I think Vince said to Bret, we'll make it an angle and I screwed you to send you over there being white hot as a compensation for backing out on the 25 year contract thing.

@@OfficialFingazMC sorry lol. I just don't see it. I know neither of us will convince the other but I'll have a friendly debate on it here briefly. Vince offered the 20 year contract out of fear that Bret would go to wcw. He then had buyers remorse because 20 years into the future is way too hard to predict. He still wanted Bret but there was just no way he could do that. So, he panicked and feared losing Bret to wcw, offered 20 yr contract and then backed out.. So then, he goes from fearing losing Bret to offering Bret to wcw AND placing him in a super hot angle to plug into his competitors tv show? I'm sorry it just doesn't add up to me. Not only that but you can see the resentment from Bret 25 years later. That isn't an angle being worked, that is legit resentment from his boss screwing him.

You couldn’t add up 2+2

@@josereyes1148 watch Scott Hall talk about why he thinks it was a work, I agree with him.

It’s sad that you don’t know the difference between your and you’re

you're* The interviewer asked him about it..... Also, he is never going to read your comment.

Do you expect Bret to look to the future? All of those great matches he is going to have? No, he is a retired wrestling veteran and people often stick to what they know. So as to not come off as being so ignorant, you know...

He's being asked questions in an interview about it!

All wrestlers do lol

He is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

It must be painful to be as simpleminded as you. Hopefully you don’t struggle too much with daily tasks.

@@jeremybarcelo6486 That's what most of the women on the road said to him in the morning at the hotel.

He got cheated and insulted by his boss in front of his family, friends, and his country, suffered a stroke, he split up with his wife and, obviously, a relative got killed. If he is unhappy then he has every right to be.

Have some respect

@@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat way before that, he became a mark for himself like rejecting the edgy product, then want these technical workrate match everytime that no one cares.

Your opinion of Bret is way off. He may have snubbed his nose at the attitude era raunchy but that doesn't mean he just wanted k technical ability and no flash. Look at the stampede stuff Bret grew up on. They knew how to get heat. It wasn't just technical boring wrestling.

@@josereyes1148 no one knew stampede wrestling but even then in the real world, primarily in the US, people would care about the substance of a match. Technicality or workrate stuff is another, heck if there is, it should not last more than 15mins. As u can see many people cited bret as their heroes and look what we have now, a bunch of technical workrate soyboy kids swarming on national TV because of a false idolatry.
