Is this one of Bret Hart's greatest matches? Let us know in the comments below.

[@AADIBAWA]

A +

[@only1icon1801]

It's a beautiful match tbh but WM13 is my personal belief his greatest match

[@krank30000]

One of the best matches of all time

[@SubZero_125]

Bret vs Owen from wrestlemania 10 was also a great match.

[@David_Pugh]

Mr Perfect for the talent. Owen for the story. Should have WM9 up there too but someone ruined it.

[@philversion1383]

The level of preparation Bret goes into to ensure the match is amazing, not for him, but for his opponent. Brets whole story here is all about making the moment for bulldog not him, pure dedication to the business and to those around him. GOAT

[@prodigy-1983]

I could listen to Bret just days and weeks. would not be boring any time

[@markfisher8559]

The fact that bulldog had smoked crack the night before and was out of his face on the day of the match is insane yet they had a great match

[@lexkanyima2195]

Bret was singlehandedly made the match

[@IntelligenceOfPlants]

This is true, but not many wrestlers at all dead or alive could have had a classic match after having a heavy crack bender for months. Even if the opponent carried them, davey boy was still talented and skilled enough to have followed and kept up with bret. But yes, bret is the hero here

[@RyanRumbles434]

Most fans should read Bret's book. There's all of that in there about Davey Boy and more.

[@highenergy8281]

Best wrestling book ever

[@HassanAlmualim-r2l]

what is the name of the Book ?

[@WeKnow99]

His matches and that steamboat vs. Savage match is still one of the best matches I have ever seen. Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit in memory of Owen is one of my favorite matches ever!

[@johndon6382]

Growing up I disliked Bret Hart. His traditional “wrestling” style I didn’t like. I watched it for the entertainment. Now as an adult, I can’t get enough of Bret Hart. I feel he now is the most underrated wrestlers.

[@DjakedB405]

He was just baby faced in the era and at that time it was needed, but I think when Sid came out they should have a big fued during that time

[@herculesrockefeller-kt3nk]

Bret was always willing to put people over in big matches and could always do it in a way that made the other guy look strong while not making himself look weak. That is why he is one of the all time greats.

[@Risner12300]

Except Shawn Michaels. He wouldn't put him over.

[@mattosmond5919]

@@Risner12300because Shawn was a jerk at the time and disrespected Bret. Bret was willing to drop the belt to Shawn but Shawn was difficult to work with at the time and started all kinds of crap.

[@crispycruiser4654]

@mattosmond5919 Objectively nonsense. Bret hart was 5-1 against Shawn Michaels in singles matches between 1992 and survivor series 1997. Bret beat Shawn in regular matches, cage matches, and ladder matches. The hart foundation also beat the rockers several times. Shawn got one win in 1996 and Bret demanded to get that win back before he did business again. Bret’s revisionist history again goes unchallenged by wrestling elitists and Canadian snowflakes for whom their national hero can do no wrong

[@l-wolverine2211]

Sad that 32 years later, the WWE hasn’t returned to the UK to do a Large Scale PLE. They deserve to host a SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, or the grandest of all, WrestleMania, with more than 85K in attendance.

This is my all time favorite match, being Canadian from Calgary, I was disappointed hart lost but I was happy because there family was back together again. I was 8 Years old.

[@samthompson1843]

[@heelpayne420]

100 % agree

[@sabreflak2215]

I used to love WWF late 80s -93. I have started to go back and watch them all again - so many post 93 i missed and its such great entertainment. Great to listen to Bret Hart on this videos - such a likeable guy. 90s wrestling was such a special time.

[@anitatodorovska7073]

I love Bret hart he in my eyes would always be the best there is the best there was and the best that will ever will be ❤

[@man0fsand]

i was there at Summerslam 92. Was an amazing night. I remember being torn who to support. Bret was my favourite but also wanted to support Bulldog in his home country.

[@only1icon1801]

😂😂😂 classic

[@Dr.Meth666]

I'm dead 😂

[@williamk2257]

Now I have to go watch the match again. That was a classic I didn’t know that Bulldog hadn’t wrestled in so long though and was out on a coke binge to boot. So they did an awesome match together considering if there were factors or not.

[@chaddixon5725]

A stand up guy. One of the best.

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

I give Bret credit. More than anyone he made it look realistic

[@garydinsdale]

He's right about not knowing who would win. Living in the UK, at the time it was two "good guys" and that seemed to tell me as a kid it wasn't necessarily obvious, and you couldn't really call it. It was beautifully booked.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

So you never watched British wrestling on ITV? They had two good guys having clean sportsmanly scientific matches all the time. Old school UK promotions like All Star, Rumble and Premier still do in 2024.

[@tomferguson9250]

Reminded me of WM6 with Hogan/Warrior with how it felt. Great match but I wish Davey had been clean when it happened, part of the issue was he & Neidhart stayed up all night prior drinking & doing drugs. Bret essentially had to carry the whole match due to him still being inebriated.

[@highenergy8281]

Even as a kid I knew that Bulldog would win because it was in England

[@garydinsdale]

@@kurtvanderbogarde8402 No, that was off the air in '88 and I was born in '87. I was referring to the WWF specifically.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

@@garydinsdale you never watched "New Catch" on Eurosport then? Although there weren't too many clean matches on there. If you went to live shows by All Star etc between WWF/WCW tours, you would have seen plenty of clean matches.

that match at Wembley was absolutely "my favorite match" so good, the story telling etc.

[@michaeljohnson5365]

Yes i have read about this in Bret Harts Book

[@TheMetalAllfather]

It's still a shame we never got to see Bret Vs Kurt. the two of them, in a 30 minute 2/3 Iron Man match would've been a new textbook in the art of Professional Wrestling. It's as disappointing as not seeing Bret on Team Canada for The Olympics, which would've maybe been another chance for him to wrestle Kurt Angle. in MY opinion, the two best to ever do it.

[@micheleburns8194]

I have loved the hitman since the day he started and Jim niedhart

[@alexpartridge1989]

Bret hart is truly one of peoples hero’s that truly lives up to having that title he’s a class act for sure! Definitely makes me proud to be Canadian!

Bret never talks about the tag team days, only his singles career. Every “moment” he talks about, the moment happened bc of HIM.. he carried Davey in their match. He called the spots in the double turn with Austin. Everything is his idea, etc. everybody gives Hogan hell, saying he lies. Nobody points out the Narcissism of Bret Hart. I feel bad for Neidhart for not getting any credit at all for being a big part of Bret’s success

[@crispycruiser4654]

Untold? Bret has told this story for a decade now. We get it Bret. Davey was on a crack binge, he forgot the match so you carried him, it’s the greatest match in your career, and the match wasn’t actually about Davey having a big moment in front of his home fans, it was actually about you becoming world champion a month later. We’ve heard this many times where Bret is the protagonist in every story. It’s not “untold”. The only thing that can’t be told is Daveys side of the story because he’s dead but that doesn’t stop Bret from burying his brother in law

Hart- Bulldog was NOT the main event just because it went on last. Warrior -Savage was the main event. Do your homework, interviewer (PS Yes I was there)

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

Bret Vs Davey went on last because (1) they wanted a nice Rule Britannia patriotic finish to the night. (2a) Warrior was originally supposed to sell out to Mr Perfect and become heel World champion until he thought of the collapse in merch sales and chickened out (2b) even with the changed finish it still would have been disappointing and lacklustre to end the night on an inconclusive finish.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

See also Survivor Series 91, Great American Bash 91 and Great American Bash 1985 for other examples where the advertised main event went out earlier in the evening because it was due to end on a downbeat note, so another match went on last to send people home happy.
