He uploaded a vid 2 weeks ago. You should see it. You the mark ?? He said that he stalked them because HE was a mark for The Hart Foundation. "Can I have you autograph Bret?" "NO YOU'RE A BULLDOGs FAN!" "No i'm not. Honest." Explains this vid as well. Worth the watch.
@@skippythealien9627 Kurt said that his dream match would of been with Bret. He even phoned him up but Bret said he couldn't do the match justice any more since the stroke.
Wow, RVD and the Hart Foundation. Awesome. Could you even imagine the kind of match Mr. Monday Night and the Excellence of Execution could have put on? Two very different styles. RVD doing all the crazy stuff he did, and Bret being the all-world worker he was.
RVD is a terrific worker, entertainer, and personality. I don't know why he's isn't revered as much as he should be. He was single handedly the best performer in the old ECW days and often times made his opponents look even better than they were...example, Jerry Lynn...and I've always liked the fact that RVD's in ring character is often a short extension of his real life persona. His matches with Jeff Hardy in the early 2000 era were amazing..SummerSlam comes to mind in the ladder match.
I would have pad cash money to see these two go at it in te ring together. But I love the idea of these two sharing a bong even more! "Hey Hitman, you want another hit, man?"
Hart started looking real old after his stroke. The kick to Hart's head really took a lot out of him, and he never really looked like he's recovered completely.
Highflying action, historical moments, exceptional talent, psychology, drama, genuine emotion, respect for the business and so on. Admittedly the fans have been somewhat over-romanticised since the closure of the company, but they were still wrestlings best crowd.
I feel the Wembley event was still highly memorable. After all, it is still the highest attendance for a WWF event (seeing as WM3s real attendance was only 78,000) and was a spectacle previously unseen outside of the US & Canada or Japan. The era in which the event took place was dead, but that particular event was something special in terms of atmosphere.
I was working in UCW all throughout New England. Good times. My ring name was the one you see here, Romeo Kid. Funny thing is when I first met Scotty, he was a Shawn Michaels knock off. Wanted to be one of The Rockers. LOL...........but just a great guy all around. I only worked with RVD once.....AGES ago. Worked with Tony Atlas as well because he was, and still is, if I am not mistaken, living in Portland, Maine. He was a bit off, but nice enough. Nice to share some memories with you. Peace.
The WWFs given attendance for the event was 92,000+ fans. However, the true attendance was actually somewhere around the 77-78,000 mark. Naturally, the WWF exaggerated the attendance figures a little to enhance spectacle of WM3. Summerslam 92 is still the WWF/Es biggest PPV of all time. I do agree with some of your comments though. Especially those about Randy Savage. And the Monday Night War + ECW was by far the greatest era in wrestling history. Probably at least for another 50 years
I met him back in October during one of his book signings, nice guy. In fact I posted a video of it on my youtube account. His hair didn't really look grey to me, just lighter.
oh my god that was awesome those are like two of my favorite all time wrestlers, seeing bret wrestle in rochester as a kid with my dad were some of my best memories would love to smoke with these guys
Their comments about the cameras apply to wrestling. That's the reason it seems less real than in the old days. In the old days, most often, everything happened in the studio where cameras were set up. Now cameras are in the back, in the dressing rooms, catching stuff going on back there while the wrestlers don't seem to notice there's a camera present.
But Bret's is a must have if you like pro wrestling and understand the lifestyle and politics of the wrestling business because he not only talks about himself but also the wrestling business and the people he has worked with like Dynamite kid, Bad News Allen Brown, Andre the Giant etc
@XTRAAKILLA I'll agree with you on that remark. Morrison started out really weak but the guy is turning into a really good wrestler. I am liking him more and more with every match he wrestles in. If he stays with it, he's going to be amazing. He's still learning, but he learns faster than most and you're right, I like the guy. He needs to work on his interviews though, but even there, hes doing better than a lot of the other guys.
I was feeling the same way. I was a pro wrestler on the independent circuit for 10 years. I had the pleasure of working with people like RVD (awesome in the ring), Scotty 2 Hotty (very under rated) and some dude who at the time was going by the name of Tarra Ryzing, now of course, known as HHH. I grew up with HHH in Nashua, New Hampshire. Straight shooter and a hell of a guy. Met Nash once. What a loser!!!! LOL
Scotty is way underrated. So what was your Ring Name for your indy fed? You must've been high on the list to work with those guys. I know in my fed there was a thing on how well you did in the ring, which would allow you to work with the bigger names in the biz. Bundy, Steamboat and Atlas came down to SAW to work for us. Bundy was pretty cool. Scary though as he could've probably devoured me in seconds.
I agree 100% with RVD. I fucking HATE when people obviously fake their surprise all the while there is a cameraman right in the room with them to begin with. It's ridiculous.
that interview was back in 2003 so your information is a bit off time has flied by since then and plus Bret said in his book he only stopped talking to Ellie and Diane after Owen's death he did not say anything about Jim Bret still talks to Jim as a matter of fact they are supposed to an autograph signing this fall so they are in good speaking terms and there was really no altercation between them they have always been good friends
Bret knew that he was going to give belt to Shawn what got him pissed off was that he passed the torch to him and Shawn never said Thank You or gave him a handshake instead he told him to get the fuck out if my ring!
