Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows (WWE Legend Documentary) | Real Stories 

@@mickanvonfootscraymarket5520 Triple H never believe he would married the boss daughter.

Julie was so mad, she thought it was a setup. They setup bret.

@@mickanvonfootscraymarket5520 Mess with a Hart it might attack you someday..corny but true

He was a employee doing what he was told to do! He wasn’t the game back then! Just like the ref. How are they to be blamed? Besides triple hhh had just gotten back into Vince good graces this was after the Kliq incident when he got punished by not winning the king of the ring!

@@hectorlopez1069 Duhhhhh.Thanks for the obvious information we already knew.

That's cool n all, but Bret already knew what he was lol. Sure he never gets tired of hearing it though

Wait! Bret suplexed Vader off the top rope? Or Bret's rope + 1? Amazing 16:34

@@Bobby.2000 don't blame him lmao

@@educateme8455 We got an OSW fan? But I guess it has Always been Bret's rope.

I met him during his book signing tour in 2008. I told him that his matches with Mr Perfect were some of the best matches ever. He said "thanks he was really good" Bret signed my copy of his book, shook my hand and took a picture with me.

What a guy!

Awesome!

Bret Hart is pure class.

Good guy Bret

I always thought he was so cool, so real and completely genuine.

Well said sir

Boom. Nailed it on the head. Always follow the money. In business there is no loyalty

“Drop dead”. Just like Owen. . .

@@leighlowe1069 lol I know. Thanks!

You guys have got to understand, for Bret, this was a stab in the heart. I'm sure he still thinks about it to this day, and nobody's ever going to forget anything like this, especially him and his family, but he was also at fault because he made this decision, and he was somehow mad that Vince put the title on Shawn when he signed with WCW, so it was going to happen anyway. I'm sure you guys remember that five years after this, Shawn turned his life around, and became a born again Christian, and he made his family a number one priority, so kudos to him.

Not really if you think about it. His No 1 move was whinging. Whinged himself to a fortune...and continues to whinge to this day. What other wrestler did that?

oh yes

@@educateme8455 Hogan,but Hogan also was a stooge that snitched on everyone else.

@@russblack443 that's bullshit. Ventura says that but you name another

One of the best technical wrestlers yes, but he wasn't influential to the industry

Sad except for that peeedo Patterson

All died too young

Yeah. Bulldog, Benoit, Eddie, and Owen were the best.

@@jonathancrosby2959 yeah sure, a man who killed his wife and kid is a good man

And all of those guys were standing there backstage, and they were all ashamed and embarrassed of what Vince had done.

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha, you can't be serious. How much of a clueless mark are you?

Bret being a mark for himself in this video

of course he is, it's a documentary ABOUT HIM. @@kingofkings69ner

If he was loyal he would have done the job and none of this would have happened

​That's simplistic. Bret should have never been champion going into that weekend. He should have dropped the belt to the Undertaker at some point. @@arthurmorgan7086

I feel it proves how talented Bret and Vince were. It's all a work. The greatest work of all time.

@Educate Me bret is too egocentric and obsessed with his career to fake it this long .. u can see he’s never been the same , he was really heartbroken .. all that anger probably added to his health issues ..

You do get that its right every leaving wrestler puts over the next guy what they dont tell you on this is vince offered him a ton of other ways to drop he refused them all he was offered to drop it the night before in the US and he said no he was offered to drop it to any other than Shawn he said no again wrestlers put over the next guy when leaving Hogan put Bret over HHH put Cena over Taker put Roman over its how it works and if anyone should have know that its Bret and with WCW going around dumping titles in bins he would never be able to keep the belt past his end date

@@wolf99000 “the kliq” wanted to humiliate bret hart .. they had some political control and wanted to hurt him.. having bret lose to his own move was a statement .. bret was willing to lose but not to shawn because of his comments in regards to never losing to bret .. bret put shawn over at wrestlmania 12, he elevated stone cold too .. he’s helped a lot of guys .. yes he had an ego , all the top stars did but he was a traditionalist and knew hbk wanted to make a mockery and he tried to stop it and failed ..ppl like to talk about taker but bret was too much of a loyal company man

@@wolf99000 he said he didn’t want to drop the title to someone who disrespected him like that

and Stu. It is sad

crazy that they are all Dead except Bret…

I was thinking the same thing

When/how did neidhart die?

@@johnv6806 Jim died back in 2018. He had a seizure, then fell and died of a head injury. I guess he had early onset Alzheimers

The Hero was Vince McMahon. In case you missed that part.

@@educateme8455 the hero was Stone Cold. He gave the Hitman a stunner he'll not soon forget.

@@educateme8455 Nope. You know NOTHING about wrestling

It's ironic isn't it. You would almost think its all scripted. 🤔

Pure coincidence, I guess :D

In my Youth, this was the first DOCU to show the true dark side of wrestling.

I AGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE OF BRET

yes me too saw dis docu more than 10x but still worth to watch from start to finish

Me too

Me too

Agree. There's a special place in 97 where you see it transform from the New Golden Era into the Attitude Era

98 was the greatest imo when Kane and Taker were together but 97 was great as well

I started watching wrestling at the beginning of 97 when I was 6 years old.

omg dude ECW in my 7th grade year, every Wednesday I was BLOWN AWAY watching ECW dude. my god THAT was real. anyone say otherwise? watch that Sabu barb wire title match from 97😅

You will appreciate the reliving the war series

Same here brother.

beyond the mat was such an eye opener

@@MaynardOwns Wrestling Bios….

@@MaynardOwns I know I am! Halloween Havoc!

Pillman.

@@michaeladams5636Never forget Brian FKN Pillman. 🤘

The Road Warriors Hawk & Animal Neither of them are with us

No spit. Even when it came out it was dated as so many were gone by 98.

As a child in the US I sensed hurt and anger in those promos. I was such a huge fan and I wanted to scream through the tv. ‘I’m here! I still love you! Shawn sucks!!’ He knew kids like me were out there and I think that bothered him too. Definitely a turbulent time in WWF.

Same, wrestling was never the same for me

That was one time wrestling was real. Although it is more real than people think. Not anyone is cut out for it, that's for sure.

Brett was a performer. He was paid to play a role. He forgot that just like Vince said. If you’re referring to Goldberg kicking him in the head. Then I’m on the same page. Goldberg was careless and then showed a disgusting lack of remorse for permanently injuring one of the best ever.

For me it was a toss-up between him and Owen. Both are extremely talented, but I tend to enjoy Owen's high flying acrobatic stuff a little more just because of how damn impressive it is for anyone to do, let alone someone as big and buff as he was. Bret's a little more familiar though, I'd been watching him since the late 80s/early 90s. We used to come home every Sunday from the flea market and watch some WWF while we ate lunch. When Bret left, I came really close to not watching anymore. When Owen died, that was it.

His view of being screwed is not being in the spotlight he felt what all his opponents felt

Like the boss he is.

He seems like the genuine article

The Hitman was like a real hero. And his matches are still the best I've ever seen

memories of the past

My mom got with the guy I'd call my dad when I was around 4-5 years old. He was big into wrestling, undertaker and stone cold were his favorites, we started watching it together along with my sister and we'd end up trying to do flips and give each other stunners. Still kinda keep up with it today. They're some of my favorite memories. 💜

💖💖💖

Good one

Not really. He has a business to run. His business, his rules.

@Rabbi Ezra Schekelstein Such a sad attempt at a joke. Work on those reading comprehension skills--"Those boys HAD heart."

on davey boy too during the uk one night stand where the finish got changed at the last minute so that michaels would win, and davey got humiliated in front of his family and his sister who was dying of cancer who he had dedicated the match to.

At that time period it was 100% true as well

Its true. HBK was such a prima donna attention seeker

Teddy Roosevelt's daughter, Alice Roosevelt, once said of her father (back in the 1900s), "he wants to be the bride at every wedding, and the corpse at every funeral"

Doesn't Jerry Lawler know Shawn more than you do? Maybe what Jerry said was true.

@@tomlehmann306 Absolutley Right! Shawn use to much Coke! He was a fu' cokehead.

It’s a work

💖💖💖

Just like Owen basically shortened stone cold career!

not only that but his brother and brother-in-law too

Goldberg did not give Bret that injury... Brets back of his head hit the hard floor when he put a figure 4 on Goldberg around the ring post. If you watch the kick. His hands were up and his head barely went back when the kick was sent. More will disagree with me then not but watch the match.

@@DNSV-ex8of tip of the iceberg titanic Goldberg didn’t help

Ong 😭😭😭

It's not because of his wrestling family, because I never knew that side and I really liked him back then, and there are others with wrestling families as well, some wrestlers just have a different charisma, that's what makes superstars in this sport.

He had morals and was a decent human being..that's what made him different

Should have restarted the match with Shawn in the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring lol

@@ClassicKrusty I agree. I felt he got cheated out of his belt, and rob during Wrestlemania 12.

I'll never forget the Screwjob Riot. I knew 4 people who died that day.

@@educateme8455 Woe!!!

I would have liked to have seen footage of Bret and Vince "fighting" in the dressing room in Montreal. But Bret asked his film crew to leave before that happened.

I love you,Bret 4-ever. 🤗✌️❤️

This aired on the A&E cable channel in the States right around that same time, with some of the stronger language bleeped out but still uncut. This doc is a must see.

OP, Saturday 6th of November 1999 (BBC2) to be exact 😊

on VHS

This is isn't a WWE documentary.

@@russblack443 this wasn’t made by WWF? Which turned into WWE? I know it wasn’t WCW lol

@@hectorlopez1069 it came on tv all the time when I was a kid. Idk why it was played so much, but after that, I found it online and I kept replying it

@@krissanders987 it was a documentary made in a partnership with a Canadian production company and A&E.

20 years so gtfo

Or documentaries produced in the 2000s about the 90s.

What documentaries do you actually watch?

I agree. My fiance watches a lot of those documentaries on Netflix. Same photos used 50 times, same ominous music playing 50 times, and dragging out "reveals" over 6 episodes for very little content.

In some of the more recent "inside the ropes" he does seem to have lightened up. But to be fair, the industry chewed up and spat out members of his family, ruined his health and arguably killed his brother. He had the right to have some "bitter" years. But he doesn't actually seem genuine, not as much front as a lot of performers.

exactly, he had heart.

God bless Stu hart He created lots great legends

And some of Vice’s stuff

A lot of the wrestlers who featured in this have passed away. That’s sad and the main reason why I get quite emotional watching parts of it.

You can see a black eye in his interview.

I suppose people could say that Bret could have a case for breach of contract. Maybe?? He had a reasonable creative control clause in his contract and that was reneged on. He didn’t agree to the finish. It was out of his control. If I’d been him, it’s certainly something I’d have looked into. Maybe he did??

Vince is lucky Bret didn’t leave him permanently damaged.

Screwjob was a work...

LMAO those Bret Pinky Fart Fans are truly something else! As if any person outside, esp. in the law system would care about a fake sports match decision. Bret was just an employee having to perform the script giving to him by Executives, last say Vince! It's the No. 1 rule. Otherwise he may have joined a real sport like Olympic Wrestling! REASONABLE creative control would be if he had worn last month blue instead of pink and not joining rival WWF as Reigning Champion, Lawd knowing what he would do with that belt. Maybe if others hadn't screwed Vince in ego heat lie Alundra Blayze he might have been more easy and truly giving him this as nod - who knows! It's all wishy washy acting. Where the hierarchy of the company is clear in I structing and following! Now on the other hand is physical violence. WITH witnesses... at any court in the world you would get a heap amount of money plus criminal charges! Vince could have truly screwed him getting him outside his Hart house earning for years.... BUT Vince was the BIGGER man in THIS case - like Chris Rock! He JUST publically humiliated him with explaining in an interview 'Bret screwed Bret' and it couldn't have been better summed up in fewest words! That Vince is like a slave owner with those hard working conditions no fan ever needed (300 days on the road instead of 100, matches being more brutal by the year even despite Owen!) and no real long-term scripted scheme of a gimmick (leaving a lot of envy, jealousy, lies and frustration in the locker room) is another side of the tale. Not to mention his sexual assaults. But that has nothing to do with reminding a wrestler (even as successful as Bret) that after signing with WCW now losing time has arrived! Why Bret insisted on such a clause anyway - already planning back then he wouldn't do the losing job! And Pinky Fans talk about Shawn's ego who was held so under 1988-1994 for a Pinky Boy to shine!

The book is great

The book was great. Id recommend chris jerichos book too. Another great read

Undertaker?

Where’d the time stamp

​@@sirnoname6943 128:00 mark

It was a work lol

@@darryl163that bruise on Vince during the interview says otherwise tbh

Y cug 9😢🎉😮0

now Bret looks like his dad.

He clearly abused and traumatized him, but other than that, sure.

I'm getting old.

Saw this back in 98-99 with my brothers. It was fascinating watching the behind the scenes stuff in WWF.

This was not an A&E documentary. I think it was High Road Production out of Canada.

@@watchreport oh ok

@@watchreport Fax

@@watchreport it was a partnership between A&E and the Canadian production company

@@russblack443 I remember seeing this in 98 on A&e you're right

Excellent

I know you from 90 day fiancé! That’s pretty awesome that you’re into wrestling too.

totally agree brett full well knew how the industry works esp with his family so well known.he was asked to drop the strap to shawn by the boss end of ,people had put brett over and he needed to return the favor how it works ,now we all know what shawn was like at this stage but brett should of did the right thing at the time

To me its a work. Lots of wrestlers thought it was a work and they were teasing vince being a heel boss 4 the whole year before it happened

U already know!! Vince is a steroid using bully. It's all about Vince. Used and abused them wrestler's. Im so glad Bret is alive and doing well. So many other's weren't so lucky and counting. Smh

HHH is trash

its all about Vince and the money 💰

@@pathfinder5651 yup.

That makes no sense! They chose not to be involved with the wwe! Only 2 worth watching was Owen (R.I.P) & Bret! The rest where given chance’s because they where part of the hart family!

She did that to herself

Karma can be a...well, you know the rest of that saying.

@@ernestcruz6316 karma for what?

Right

really? bret has come out countless times in countless interviews and docs over how he feels about his brother owens death and vince/wwf during that time. When you are asked a question about the Montreal Screwjob all the time where does Owen's death come into place??????

Correct, legends of Canada

And he took the dropping the belt to Shawn Michaels in Montreal, much too seriously. Yes, he didn’t like Shawn Michaels, but in life, you can’t always depart on your terms. He would have had a new beginning at WCW-nobody would remember that his last match in WWF was a loss in Canada. It would not have hurt his brand, it certainly wouldn’t have hurt that $9 million over 3 years.

Shawn Michaels title reign shouldn’t even count since Bret Hart never tapped out HBK was never an official champion like Bret Hart was.

you r wasn’t losing to shawn it was how hbk spoke to him and acted , bret would of lost to anyone but hbk

Legend

I still got the old ones and advidaly buy the new ones the real scan technology is awsome oh and tomarow I turn 47 and don't care what any one thinks about my figure obsession and collecting

Defo never had a woman there to show them too tho

Why did you stopped watching at 2000?

@@abcsin6526 Just a combination of things really. I was 14 then, into sports and really into girls. But that's also when WCW was pretty bad and the Monday Night Wars were over. I watched a few times from 2000-2007, but I haven't watched since then.

@@grantwileyesq.5962 Ok!!!👍

ya.. millionaires and other millionaires and their worries... a big deal at their level but none of them had any real life problems.

Vince deserved it. He set him up.

I admire Vince not simply talking back what he handed out to Bret's over the past 10 yrs in court! It's a Chris Rock / Will Smith sequel. Some delusionals clap for their 'star' while the more unknown guy is indeed the BIGGER man. They truly could have clapped back where it hurts than just childish physical assault!

I don't blame Vince for what he did but I feel sorry for Bret too

I went to see WCW live for the first time. Only because Bret was supposed to make a first appearance. He never showed. Was the one and only time I went to a WCW event. 🤣 I would follow Bret anywhere back then 💖

Yah, it really does feel like it went down like that. WCW and buffoon Bischoff also didn't help matters by Literally doing nothing with him. After the screw job he was the talk off the business and WCW had no idea of how to capitalize on it. Shows ya what a genius Was back then. Bret was no longer there yet he capitalized on it by playing the wicked owner of the company and he then put that character into a long standing feud with Stone Cold. That's how you capitalize and Bischoff wouldn't know how to do that. That's why he, along with others, killed WCW.
