Bret Hart, the stand-up guy who, in 1990, used politics to save the job of his brother-in-law, Jim Neidhart, and keep the tag titles on the Hart Foundation-robbing The Rockers of what would be their only championship reign in the process. Bret Hart, the same man who, in 1992, used politics to drop the Intercontinental title to Davey Boy Smith, another brother-in-law, rather than Shawn Michaels, who was the number two heel in the company at the time (and who ultimately ended up getting the title from the British Bulldog before he was fired for steroids). Bret used politics as much as anyone else during his run. Go back and watch his matches. Pay attention to how many times he was beaten cleanly. It’s not coincidence.

[@hereticlife2546]

Brett just said, “Bridges? Who needs em? Get the petrol and a torch”.

[@robwest5457]

Let's get one thing straight. Despite what anyone in these threads say, it's universally known that Bret was the good guy and Shawn and the Kliq were a band of bullies that were high on any drug they can get their hands on (which they admit in every shoot they do). Shawn and the Kliq would literally intimidate older guys near retirement like The Bushwhackers, and others left over from that 80's era, guys that would just be there to finish out their run and make the last few dollars of good money they ever could in life doing what they love. Guys that were great for the business that were most likely too old and injured to defend themselves in that stage of life (physically) and too intimidated because of the Kliq's influence, for fear of losing their job. Shawn would try to make fools of them with the backup of his friends like Hall, Nash, and Hunter. Bret would stand up for these guys and not allow that behavior. Bret, a professional, would have to see Shawn and company acting like...

[@robwest5457]

...childish assholes on the road, treating hotel, rental car, and airline staff like shit and fans like cash machines. I'm sure that behavior got under Bret's skin, being from Canada where people are respectful and honor tradition. Bret was a company man yes, but it's because he understood he was representing the company, as the face, so he would not trash a hotel room when he sees hard working people have to clean the mess up that the Kliq left behind and not get tipped or make a dollar extra for the trouble. Bret is mis-characterized as this guy who takes things too serious because "wrestling is fake." Yes, wrestling is fake, but treating people in society with respect is real. Bret understood that and didn't abuse drugs and act like he was above the law terrorizing cities across the globe. He had class and his frustration levels with their behavior I can feel in 2015, because if I had to deal with co-workers who act like animals everywhere we go together I would hate those guys too

[@bowlbrawl]

+MrCain667 2.5 million a year for only two years before he retired

[@robwest5457]

How is his salary relative to the way he treated fans? When I say treating fans like cash machines, I'm referring to the fact that Michaels and co refused to sign autographs for fans without forcing them to cough up a few bucks, not to mention their $10k public appearance fee (to Bret's $4k). Salary has nothing to do with the direct way they raked fans over the coals.

Listen to the many videos of people who have confirmed everything Bret said here and you realize he's just telling you how things were.

+Ramon Suarez if it was not for the Kilq there would be no dx, nwo an monday night wars an no edgyer wrestling in the late 90's

[@ramonalejandrosuare]

Arron Sorrell I loved DX and NWO but people like you give the Kliq waaaay more credit than they deserve. The biggest stars of the Monday Night wars weren't from the Kliq, they were Rock and Steve Austin, two wrestlers who Shawn Micheals and HHH tried hard as fuck to bury. If they had their way they'd have dominated that era in a way which would have ruined the product. You see it in WCW where Nash had free reign to politic and help destroy the product there and now you've seen it in WWE with how HHH put himself over throughout the 2000s when he wasn't anywhere near the company's most talented wrestler.

[@Showtime6192009]

it was the kliq that between 94 and 95 was pushing vince to make wrestling more real, and if it was not for there curtin cull then hhh would hav won the king of the ring an stone cold would never have said coz stone cold 3.16 just kicked your ass an yes nash an nwo ruined wcw but thats coz they did not hav a vince like guy at the top to stop them an keep them in place (wich is why wcw failed) hbk never tryed to keep stone cold down nor the rock i don't know bout hhh but i find it hard to belive he would as his best matches was with both stone cold and the rock maybe it looked like that on screen but thats just the way it was meant to look, look our hhh took a backing role with stone cold during the 2 man power trip (when stone cold was wwe champ am hhh took a side step an become ic champ)

[@ramonalejandrosuare]

Arron Sorrell That 1994-1996 period where the Kliq supposedly wanted to make wrestling more "real" was also the low point in the WWF history because they were tearing the company apart with their very self-interested decision making. It wasn't until the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin and later The Rock (both which happened when Micheals was out of the company healing his injuries) when the company boomed. You giving the Kliq credit for the Austin's success because of the Curtain Call, a selfish move to fuck the kayfabe over, is lame since they didn't do it to put anyone over just to say FU to company management. And yes, Shawn Micheals tried to keep Austin down by the time Wrestlemania XiV rolled around. So much so that Undertaker basically threatened to beat Micheals with a baseball bat if he refused to job to Austin in the match like he did with Bret Hart earlier. As for HHH, it has been well known in wrestling circles that he and Rock never liked each other because Hunter tried to bury Rock's title push early on during the Attitude Era.

I think that's what he means when he says here "I don't think Shawn's sorry for a lot of stuff" After watching that dvd a couple times, you really get the vibe that Shawn is sorry for who he was, but not really sorry for certain things he did, and he hides behind this notion that "he just wanted Bret's validation". I feel Bret's just stating the truth that will never change, they were a bunch of assholes, cool assholes on TV, but nevertheless glorified assholes.

Hogan recently criticized Flair for doing the same match every time -- is that the pot and kettle or what? To be fair, big men don't tend to make for good wrestlers. Their bulk prevents them from doing anything but power moves. Paul Wight in his prime was the exception -- the man actually did dropkicks.

In interviews he would say that it was to protect the business, but this again is contradictory in relation to him having no honor and no dignity whatsoever. He did everything he felt he needed to do in order to get to the top. Neither of the two was part of the boys in the dressing room even many years AFTER Bret's departure from WWE.

I haven't really seem Bret Hart since he left WCW. Bret was always a guy I'd want on my roster and in the locker-room (especially over Michaels). Bret was legit one of the best wrestlers WWF ever had, and one of the best wrestlers of all time for any league. Plus if a fight broke out, you could actually hide behind Bret. Shawn would already be on the ground with a black eye, holding his knee and asking for time off from the unsafe work environment. Bret still looks great(this vid is the 1st I've seen of him since he left WCW). I saw a pic of Shawn Michaels recently (for the 1st time since 2003/2004). I hate to talk about how people are aging, but I don't think my comments could be worse than HBK's actions over the years. Bret seems to be aging much better. MUCH better (despite the stroke). HBK doesn't even look like the same guy to me. I laughed and also felt really bad for him when I saw him recently. You can still look at Ricky Morton or Ric Flair and understand how they were magnets with the women back in the day. You look at HBK now, and it's difficult to believe that was ever the case. When you 'find Jesus' and start pretending in public to be a better person, I don't forgive you for all the bs just because you started having one way conversations invisible people. That's a rule inside the Christian religion, not in general society. Assholes are assholes, no matter which religious text they read or don't read. Why would HBK need a book to tell him he's an asshole, when people have been saying that to/and about him for decades? HBK has retired to a Christian life of killing animals, and telling lies about the past. Good guy. And he's smiling again!

[@antondelacruz9362]

I believed him until he called Kevin Nash a great wrestler and good guy.

It takes talent to tear your quad while walking across a ring.

[@wowthatsawesome2762]

If brett said that, it's because him and Nash are friends now.

[@truerealrationalist]

Right? Business was absolutely at its lowest level when Kevin Nash was the champion...and with good reason.

[@joachim713]

@@truerealrationalist It wouldn't have been so bad if he was willing to work with people besides his friends...or just work in general. There's a story he tells in an interview about a cage match with Yokozuna. Basically, the ring hands took too long setting up the cage, and Nash wanted to go drinking. He talked Yoko into cutting the match short, which pissed off some of the people in the back. Nash being Nash, didn't give a shit and just left. Imagine being a fan and going to see him, then he only wrestles for 3 minutes after waiting almost a half hour for the cage to get set up, then see this interview years later. Fuck Nash.

[@truerealrationalist]

@@joachim713 Nash is charismatic and has the look of a star....and that's about it.

[@stuungar4034]

Bret is ALWAYS patting himself on the back. "I was for the boys." " I was the leader in the lockerrom." Funny because I havent heard one, NOT FUCKING ONE, shoot where someome has gone out of their way to say Bret was their guy. The best I've heard is from Austin, Mick Foley and Jim Ross who have said they have a ton of respect for him and they loved working with him or that they enjoyed watching him work. The most common thing Ive heard regarding Bret is that he was quiet and mostly kept to himself. HTM shoot talked about Bret having his own locker room. I know Jim Ross eliminated personal locker rooms when he became head of talent. So Bret started dressing in Sunnys locker room because, as Sunny said, "Bret dressed with me and Chris (Candido) because Bret hated dressing with the boys." In Brets book, Bret says that Taker, Shawn, Nash and others all told Bret he gave them their greatest match ever. Funny bc Ive never heard 1 wrestler say Bret is the greatest.

[@superlex611]

bret and taker are the most respected wrestler in the locker room

[@StuUngar]

+alex kanyima According to who? Bret himself...and Savio Vega? We don't even have Savio's own words saying that, just Bret name dropping Savio Vega whenever Bret's talking about himself. I've heard Bret in multiple interviews talking about being the leader backstage, and the funny thing is...the only name he can ever come up with is Savio Vega. I've heard wrestlers name 2 guys as backstage leaders during that period, Undertaker and Yokozuna. Bret's name is never mentioned among the leaders unless you're talking to Bret himself.

[@superlex611]

StuUngar but really in a positive way, bret is so protective of his legacy, and spot

[@Krillep]

Bret Hart is a fucking asshole, that need show grace and move on with his life.

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

+Krillep Exactly! And when a failed draw like Bret Hart gets bought out of his 20 year contract by Vince McMahon and subsequently sent to WCW in exchange for two middling role players in Jeff Jarrett and Luna Vachon returning to the WWF... ...you already know Bret's got serious issues with himself and his perception of reality, wrestling and general moral compass.

[@chiefryback7906]

Bret keepin' it 100. Love it!

[@suliasituragabeci9615]

Bret Hart is Aunt Viv and Shawn Michaels is Will from The Fresh Prince

[@JJWalters]

Wow so many people smashing Bret. Being a wrestler is a job and just like any job, you need to act like a professional. Bret was always a professional he worked hard and many wrestlers still say to this day that their best match was with him and that he helped them in their career. Sean Waltman/x pac, said his match was bret was one of his favorite and he was thankful bret did everything in that match to help his career. Mick Foley almost left WWE because he hated what happend to bret. Shawn was not liked by many other wrestlers and all though I like the wrestlers in the kliq, as human beings they were kind of pricks for the wrestling business. I mean if you think of a "poster boy" for a company and helping wrestling suceed, it's bret. Shawn also stared in playgirl which is read by more gay readers than women. Bret= respectable champion with good wrestling skills and although people don't admit it, he had awesome mic skills. Shawn= had his picture masterbated to by many gay men, good wrestler but wrestled shitty and over selled stuff to piss off other wrestlers and ruined matches (i.e. hullk match) and so on.

[@Showtime6192009]

+My Great Sensei shawn posted in playgirl coz he was told women read the mag an he even took the piss out of himself with it when dx fought with edge an randy orton, if you ask many ppl all of shawns matches with top notch no matter if it was a ppv, raw superstars liver show or dark match hbk gave everything. he only over sold the hogan match coz hogan kept changing things to suit him an at the last min said he would not do a re match were shawn would win. plus shawn was pissed that hogan would just walk in to the company do very little walk out an make more money then any other wrestler on the roster were ppl like hbk was working every night for the company.

[@Spurfect81]

+Arron Sorrell after reading all of your comments on here you really are coming across as a HBK fan boy with a lot of built in excuses and a lot utter bollox.

[@Showtime6192009]

I may be a Shawn Michaels fan an hav been since Wrestlermain 5 but everything I said as been Fact.

[@bowlbrawl]

Bret and Shawn were the Seeds that grew the attitude era and then they were pushed aside, I mean Shawn was done less than six months after SS97

[@Showtime6192009]

[@arthurkilly2235]

"praised by who?" lol so true. Hall and Nash have never been any good. Nobody ever talks about their "classic" matches because they dont have any. Michaels is overrated. HHH only knows how to wrestle 1 style. Slow drawn out brawl

[@leishaapark]

Well they always talk about razor ramon (ofc Scott Hall) vs Shawn Michaels for their ladder match. They’re good in the ring but a little crazy when not in the ring

[@tangiers59]

Does any die-hard Bret Hart fan really stand back in awe at his astounding level of narcissism?

[@tangiers59]

***** Lol. Obviously, he made his mark on wrestling and was a great "wrestler", but he takes himself a little too seriously. Every wrestler has an ego, especially one who was a top guy, but damn. At least, others praise themselves in terms of it being a work, Bret shoots on his ability as if it's legit competition and he actually won matches and titles.

[@fenderjaguar7201]

+tangiers59 Agree 100 %. That's why I can never understand retired wrestlers boast like "I was worl champion man, I was world champion" Technically anyone could be a "world champion" if it was written in a script. Don't get me wrong I respect what these guys do but just as they don't go home and worry about their fans being able to find work/feed their family, i'm not going to worry about them

[@tangiers59]

Fenderjaguar7 Yeah, obviously Bret is a great wrestler, one of the best ever, but he takes himself a little too seriously. It's a work, after all. Personally, i don't know if I ever would have paid to see bret wrestle. That's just me, though.

Hes just telling it like it is. Hes actually at peace with all of them now

[@JoshLavian]

Jesus Christ, it's 2015 and he's still whining. Shawn should never have apologized to him, if this is the way he's going to continue to act. "I never acted like a superstar to my friends and coworkers." Oh, really? Vince: "Bret, I need you to put Shawn over on your way out of here, just like everyone else does." Bret: "No. I'm not going to do that in Canada."

[@69bumbaclat]

That wasn't about acting like a superstar, he didn't want to lose to Shawn Michaels anywhere because Shawn told him he won't put him over, stop being a mark and actually understand what everyone says about what happened, not just the wwe version of events, Shawn apologized to a lot of people because he behaved like a prick, he says it himself, he refused to put many people over including Austin at wrestlemania 14, where undertaker had to step in to make sure he did the honors or else undertaker would have honored his face backstage

[@aniketdesai8771]

Dude , bret is just giving a honest answer about the situation back then, if u had a horrible phase at your work place and after many years you have been asked about that you will make comments like this aswell its natural when you remember something, and shawn was a fucking prick and he was suppose o but bret over for the title and mania 13 but he lost his smile and dint wanted to put austin over at 14 and gave a bad attitude about that aswell its all in video evidence, go back the mania 12 watch the tape where bret put em over , they had a legendary match and bret waited after so he can shake shawns hand but shawn orderd hefner to ask bret to leave the ring its his moment. He was a natural prick and even after shawn claims he had changed he had bad attitude agains cena y2j and shane helms. Bret was ready to drop the title anytime but that 1 time in montreal he would have put steve , taker, owen , davey , shamrock any 1 over at that time and left for wcw . Shawn was a prick.. And so were the others in the kliq

[@sma5hdie]

+Josh Lavian at least hes complaining about his own problems

[@JoshLavian]

***** Uh, no. He's complaining mainly about Scott Hall's attitude and the way the Kliq acted. He barely ever talks about his own problems; when he talks about himself, it's just to put himself over.

[@69bumbaclat]

Josh Lavian he wasn't asked about his own problems, he was asked about the Kliq, he has a book out where he tells his own problems, he includes things no one knew about him, which make him look very bad, so he's not putting himself over, he's just answering a question.

[@doctor721100]

Where did this interview occur?

[@docmoody6908]

To listen to scott hall "Brett's house is a shrine to brett hart. A portrait of brett in grear in every room." But true or untrue, the fact that Everything Brett Has, every room, his pool, his kitchen, bathroom, furnishings, all of it was because of his career as a wrestler. Why not remind himself never forget and be grateful of those days?

[@68air]

[@7BlueDodger]

I like how no matter how much he hates the Kliq he still respects Kevin Nash. I think Nash has mutual feelings of respect for Bret too.

[@JessicaChastainFan]

That's because Nash showed Bret that he can be a decent guy. It helps that Scott's dead, it makes Kevin rethink life some. Plus, Nash knows his best matches were with Bret. There's no denying that objective fact.
