Bret Hart- Off the Record Part 1/6

[@Moneycaller35]

There will never be a great wrestler like Bret Hart.

[@Coalitiondodger]

This man has been through so much. The loss of his parents, the GREAT Owen Hart, British Bulldog and his stroke. This man defined my childhood. Long live the Hitman!

[@scwfan09]

bret was one of the greatest of all time! thats why i got his dvd!

[@teddilong]

Bret Is a ICON....

[@DarqMassacre]

Bret Hart was and is my All-Time favorite Wrestler. The Excellence Of Execution. I was so mad that he left WWE due to Vince that I switched to WCW. Owen was great as well and he'll be missed.

[@danpats1]

this guy has seen more tragedy than anyone should ever have to endure

[@gtpturbo]

Bret Hart ,Your the Man !One of the best there was,is and ever will be!

[@Unwin85]

i met him in Sheffield and i agree, totally dedicated to his fans

[@ericlofstrand]

Man that greatest rivals dvd with bret and shawn is heartbreaking when bret talks about his stroke. I mean, idk how you can't cry watching that

[@whitecloud1980]

bret is a class act. so much respect for this guy.

[@chuvashalala]

Bret Hart seems to be one of the most genuine and nicest guys in wrestling. But today you can sense a sadness in him and also the anger he has for his siblings. It's just sad that a number of unfortunate events happened to a guy like Bret.

[@McMahonHater]

How often do you see an IC title match main event a WWF/E PPV, not often. I've seen two, and Bret was the champion for both. Bret Hart is "The Man" not Ric Flair.

[@DragoNYC]

My ALL TIME Favorite wrestler Bret "The Hitman" Hart he truly is: "The Best there is, was and ever will be."

[@Ashal666]

I just saw that movie for the first time and yes he does!

[@UltimateVictory88]

bret hart is the greatest ever. He is the reason I started watching wrestling!

[@acyadeadhomie]

Man i miss Bret he is such a great wrestler and person...

[@jessebowman161]

I became a wrestling fan in part because of bret hart (also roddy piper, their match at wm8 made me a fan). love this guy

[@miffykitty666]

i met bret yesterday!!! :0) Hes absolutly wonderful! xxxxxx

[@andrewflood5420]

I LOVE OFF THE RECORD !!!!!!!

[@NookTommy]

how much can a man take seriously...so much tragedies u were forced to deal with in such short time. bret is truly an inspirational figure. im a hitman fan since 1991. and when bret left in the fall of 1997, his career is over. he came to wcw but he couldnt find the same success he had in wwf. say what you want about bret being ego and selfish, but he still has my respect not just as a pro wrestler, but also as a person whom i can look up to.

[@BJgrand]

lol we should have seen the montreal question come up...its in every one micheal landberg's interviews

[@Outdoorsman-]

I am calgarian and i am very pround him from my city.

[@Dre7Guevara]

HAPPY B-DAY BRET!!!!

[@KingGemini87]

He's my reason I started watching wrestling too.

[@minks36]

this guy was my favourite wrestler when i was a kid and used to watch wrestling. i never knew he had a stroke but im glad to see the guy is doing ok now. 'the excellence of execution' , he was awesome :)))

[@bm2g]

bret is a living ledgend!

[@dmafia786]

No one is immortal, god helps those that do good, Bret is the man cuz he's done good, took care of his parents, wife, & kids! As humans thats what we are supposed to do, help one another!

[@richfranklin45]

yes it does ...they have also had spike lee and chris tucker

[@SDG.12]

the greatest

[@Tube2488]

Actually... Bret did not want to lose the belt IN Canada. He was willing to give up the title on RAW the next night to Shawn.

[@chrisz31974]

i agree, i think he's pretty much moved on, but damn it would be awesome to see him on tv in ANY capacity because wrestling could use someone like him right now

[@richfranklin45]

its on tsn in canada im sure if u got satalite u will have it

[@amirhe6]

he talks about a heart attack and in the backgroung u see a sign that sais steaks and bar... :-\ Bret , a lot of love from israel, had the chance to see u in Israel, cant remember the year , I was a kid but always love u!!! somthing about u that send truth and kindness.

[@stellaravariere6025]

I love bret

[@avataz]

This dude was my childhood hero, before I knew wrestling was fake. The worst day of my life was when Bret Hart lost the title to Yokozuna.

[@anl666]

he was the best technical.

[@NiggadaumHistory]

cant forget any of his matches with jerry lawler, they had some good matches to, like the kiss my foot match, durin their feud is when kane first debuted in wwf as Isaac Yankem D.D.S., and him and bret had a good match a summerslam 95

[@Dre7Guevara]

I heard Vince deemed it as "sports entertainment" 2 avoid paying extra 2 the state athletic commission. U know, B4 I got my current job 10 years ago, I was leaning towards finding a wrestling school 2 train & become a wrestler, but after reading Foley's 1st book & realizing the sacrifices, epsecially becoming dependant on pain pills, I chose 2 remain a spectator. I also respect the wrestlers' hustle & I appreciate them 4 putting their bodies on the line 2 entertain us fans.

[@p4horror]

Bret Hart always reminded me of Glenn Danzig. Even sounds like him.

[@Hossflex]

Actually RAW is consistantly the highest rated cable show every week, for both hours. They also crush their competition in their age demographic. It's in USA Today every week, take a look for yourself

[@ellokokop]

brett hitman hart never die

[@troyrblb44]

you forgot Owen my friend.......definitely up there with the best....

[@universalmanchild]

I usually trash EVERBODY but this guys really was the best there is, was and ever will be.

[@mmmhedgeymmm]

his book is awsome ppl buy it

[@jwc7215]

dude bret is one of the best ever... and he got screwed the fuck over... he is know as being the most honest and stand up guys in the business...

[@ria1313]

I want Bret to come back, I really miss him. I'll even start watching wrestling again LOL. He should stay in the game for as long as he can, so if that means just doing commentary, hey, I'm cool with that.

[@GOJOWrestling]

@PornobrillenAli bret has never taken steroids once .

[@ant0586]

@danpats1 the man is a inspiration. love bret

[@mothercanuckers2202]

He wasn't going to lose "the title" but he was gonna lose by DQ and give up the title on RAW

[@URestURust]

Has anyone read Brets book? Is it a worthy read?

[@NookTommy]

since he left wwf, his career and life went downhill. being betrayed by his longtime boss, wcw have no idea what to offer him, his close friends, parents, brother and brother in law all passed away like every year. brian pillman (oct 1997), rick rude (april 1999), owen hart (may 1999), his mum (oct 2001), bulldog (may 2002), curt hennig (feb 2003), his dad & hawk (oct 2003), bossman & ms elizabeth (2004), benoit (june 2007). divorce and suffered a stroke in june 2002, concussion in dec 1999.

[@Plague_Doc22]

Why is everyone hating on Michael? hes just doing his job. he has limited time so he tries to get alot of questions out before the breaks and the end. thats why hes semi cutting hitman off. If you dont like the fucking show DONT FUCKING watch. geez

[@xismxist]

how old is michael landsberg?

[@wildcat31677]

Bret made his choice at the WWE. He did do the right thing as far as droping the belt Michaeles. Vince did what was right for the WWE.

[@bastardtubeuser]

haha love how often this guy says the word STORKE.

[@Edzio91]

The interviewer is too flippant when hes talkin about Bret's tragedies and bad stuff, he needs to show more respect, for one of the greatest wrestlers ever have graced a wrestling ring

[@svendeddy3]

@StreetBaller2010 Not just Survived but not damaged or harmed severely from it!

[@burth179]

I do believe in "what goes around comes around", so maybe you have something of a point. I don't know anything about Bret or Owen's personal life to make that sort of judgement. Do you know him personally or someting? But I still don't understand what being a christian has to do with it. So do you think anyone that is not a Christian is a bad person? There are good and people of all faiths.

[@danpats1]

@Rubberchix uh, his dad, his brother, his brother in law, most of his good friends in the business. then having a career ending concussion and subsequent stroke. does all that happen to a lot of people? perhaps by the time they are 80 years old maybe, not when their 40ish.

[@tensazol]

he had a stroke not a heart attack... Bret hart, one of the greats, i wish he could make a return, just one show. He could talk with vince to arrange an appearence of him in a pay per view like...hummmmm.... wrestlemania 26

[@burth179]

I never said I wasn't a Christian. You seem to like to pass judgements on people you don't know. Romans 14:1 "Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matterspassing judgment on disputable matters"

[@Dre7Guevara]

which is Y I can't understand Y some people insist on calling this sport fake.

[@jasonreiffer11]

@DemCatBo First about the spelling abilities.....thanks I guess? Second, I never said it was Bret's best match or Shawn's best, all I was saying was that it was not the most overrated match.

[@Kyriakoscash]

what year did he have the stroke???

[@ericlofstrand]

02

[@ReginaldForman]

"you just had a stroke, you couldnt move the left part of your body, and almost died, sitting here today i gotta ask ya.............how are ya feeling?" ...................SMFH

[@MarLenBo]

Agreed. The two of them had a better match against each other the night Bret got screwed.

[@ninjaworshipper]

actually he said he's the biggest star, not the best wrestler, which i agree with but everyone has their own opinion

[@Jinzo9988]

It could be because he had a whole hour(two shows) as opposed to most of the others who have only a half hour interview. Landsberg didn't interrupt Hulk Hogan very much either. I think also because this interview is a -world exclusive-, Landsberg should have and did take a backseat and let Bret talk.

[@Shazayum]

i dont care if you support bret...or are against bret....none of us know what happened behind the scenes. i hate know it all wrestling fans.

[@DarqMassacre]

Bret was not overrated. Vince was so worried about making money and getting ratings in the Attitude era that he forgot about the wrestlers that put WWFon the map. Shawn Michaels was and is a pawn that Vince needed in that era. I watched wrestling my whole life and been to many events. Can you even name a match that had the most attention that Bret wasn't wrestling in??? If you don't know or care it's because Bret made Wrestlers better when he fought so your comments don't make since DONKEYDICK.

[@Johnnypoundcakes]

Top 3 Wrestlers of all time: 1. Hitman 2. Foley 3. Stone Cold

[@ZoneyDuel]

@soccerfan312 I agree.

[@blazen2000208]

i dont think he still thinks about it as much as ppl think. I mean any where he goes they ask him what do you think about the montreal screw job. I get what you are saying and if he is holding on to it it can be bad.

[@mylifeshero]

i notice landsberg doesn't constantly interrupt hart like he does EVERY OTHER wrestler he's ever interviewed. i think he almost called bret "Jesus" at one point...

[@MrGojets12345]

dosnt Bret Hart kinda remind you of John Bender from The Breakfest Club

[@michaelkrolewski6531]

More like Don Johnson from Miami Vice

[@Morrisonii]

It fucking hurts to read what you've wrote. But I think your right. But if an easy check is what he needs and what he wants, he should go for it.

[@CMAlexander]

actually shawn didn't have to do it he refused to put Bret over earlier on so naturally when Bret was asked to put Shawn, he returned the favor and refused to put Shawn over. Also, Vince was contractually obligated to reasonably follow Bret's creative decisions in the last days of his WWE career so Bret Hart was truly screwed by all of them. If Vince had no intention to follow his and Bret's plan, he should not have agreed to it.

[@jarhead540]

1:57 Did he really say the wrestling world is all fake and this is real?!

[@sdmfmw9109]

@Seegs86 man you thought he did bret bad, you should see the one with hhh.

[@adestickbaby]

0:56 - Brett laments, "If I had a beer."

[@cDayz]

2003

[@z1a1i1n]

LEGAND

[@Bill_The_YouTuber]

The term "mark" isn't really a derogatory one like for example "chump" or "Bum" is. It's really meant to imply the audience or the group of people you are trying to influence. For instance a heel is trying to influence the marks to boo for him and the baby face is attempting to do the opposite. It has only become to be a derogatory term in todays wrestling world, and I agree kids are fans, not marks in the derogatory sense of the word.

[@hangoversarentfun]

i don't think there's a more tactless interviewer in this world. it's like watching a mockumentary with steve carell except it's not funny at all in reality and you just wanna smack that guy for ruining every honest moment of this conversation. bret hart is a great man and will always be the best wrestler of all time for me!

[@kiloisathousandgrams]

owen & bret always remind of people like the hardys, jeff gets more attention and love than matt, much like edge was always than christian...even bubba gets to say more than d-von

[@Dswaned]

As pure wrestler, sure, he can't hold a candle to Race. But race couldn't cut a promo like Foley. The wrestling business had fallen on its ass in the mid 90's. And it was guys like Foley, Austin, The Rock (even though they weren't the best "wrestlers" ). To bring it back into the juggernaut it was in the 80's(Hogan). You gotta respect that.

[@jnieves77]

bret hart to me is like the micheal jordan for wrestling

[@TheCLB]

I'll buy that, but remember the key point: he lost a rigged match in a fake sport. It isn't like the ref screwing over a team in the Super Bowl, it is like the director releasing a movie with a different ending...

[@BeastNationXIV]

Yeah. I think so. I'm one of the people who say that. But all the other person does is dismiss that as an excuse.

[@SteKeo1990]

its geting bigger by the year you know more and more wrestlers are going to tna, but thats wat happend with wcw, theres a saying history repeats its self. so wat i think is that its just all happening again.

[@wildcat31677]

swami22 foley's not even in the top 25 top wrestlers off all time. He can cut a great promo. But in the ring not so much. When he won the WWE title he had help from DX & Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[@Purelfc]

Bottom line Brett refused to loose the match because he wanted to leave wwf as champion. He failed to do his job by defying his employer. It would have looked too weak on Vince's part to have his champion join wcw so for the good of the company he had to do it. The company is bigger than any individual

[@ZoneyDuel]

"You Know"

[@PornobrillenAli]

@GOJOWrestling I hope this was a joke.

[@nyleinnew]

bret is no. 2 to no one..

[@Allistar123]

HBK's reaction to what?

[@the21iconnNY]

fucking wash up just like how he age so fast...hbk is the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be

[@Dswaned]

But Flair is still THE MAN WHOOOOOOO!!!! :)

[@badbabybear1]

Whoa, Bret with short hair!

[@martinwilliamrandall]

Id like to argue with u but u speak the truth. On a video interview I made backstage & after. It was true he did not want to lay down to Shawn due 2 sum past gripe we all know about. He was fully prepared to lay down for the up & comer & the future of wrestling Steve Austin who he still does have a great respect for. He was also prepared to lay down for the icon Mick Foley. So people know your role & shut your mouth.
