Bret Hart SHOOTS On Ruined Match With Road Warriors!

[@InsideTheRopes]

Is Bret Hart correct on their being no memorable teams after The Hart Foundation? Let us know in the comments below!

[@jayvian327]

Couldn’t agree more, though there have been great tag teams after. There is impression on the first of its kind like the harts.

[@jonbourgoin182]

Demolition? I mean come on

[@randysavage1617]

@@jonbourgoin182 I believe Bret meant after the Hart Foundation won the belts in 1990 for the last time. Demolition had their best run in 1988 and won the belts again in 89 & 90, but the Hart Foundation was the last memorable team in the WWF to win the belts from Demolition at Summerslam 1990. Teams who are memorable, but that success was really remembered for their WCW days are the Steiner Brothers and Road Warriors/Legion of Doom. The only team that I think is memorable that came after the Hart Foundation and won the tag titles was The New Age Outlaws.

[@BakesBread001]

It was definitely a golden era for tag teams. But there have been memorable teams since.

[@masterfulsky]

Hes right the division dipped badly after demolition and the harts broke up only coming back to prominence with the new age outlaws and dudleys 7 years later

[@abudujana13]

Thanks for the video, INSIDE THE ROPES

[@cwell510]

As far as tag teams from the 80's go, I would say he's correct. I still remember Survivor Series '87-89 having the tag-team elimination match which consisted of 10 different teams; the roster during that time was stacked. Nowadays there's two sets of tag team titles and barely enough teams to compete for them.

[@1776Sledge]

It’s great to see someone ask Bret something about his wrestling career that isn’t the same thing like the screw job, Goldberg, Hogan or Shawn Michaels. I’ve never heard Bret tell this story before.

[@RatedRcny]

A man that takes pride in his work...

[@TRivera13]

It's always annoyed me we never saw Bret & Anvil in a tag match when the Hart Foundation faction was around.

[@timburr4453]

yea I don't think they ever even did a Hart Attack Clothesline for old times sake

[@OikPoinFive]

i agree. i wanted a Bret/Jim vs LOD in 1997. either on free raw tv or ppv. we did get that 10 man with LOD, scsa, goldust, ken vs Bret, Jim, Owen, Bulldog, Pillman

[@howdyhoo7721]

The best there is, best there ever was and best there will ever be

[@glamgal7106]

Hats off to Bret for crediting Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart *cackling*. He made a great point about the psychology of tag team wrestling.

[@TheHannibalTV]

Tag Team wrestling was more over in those days

[@OikPoinFive]

shoulda been Hart Found vs LOD at WM 7. not them nastys. Rockers, Bushwackers vs Haku/Barby, Power & Glory. Nastys vs Demolition

[@ericscottstevens]

Tag team wise the Steiner (brothers) sort of copied the Harts template. Yet they used the college wrestling theme. The Nasty Boys seemed to have a following for awhile but were fired for some reason by corporate. Still the tag teams were victims of stereotypical / lazy of an ideas like the Quebecers, or Bushwackers, The New Rockers, Headshrinkers, or Harlem Heat. Almost clique to the point that they did not seem to attract enough audience, or the audience felt they were being duped as dolts with the constant hype non sense being brought out as new talent..

[@only1icon1801]

Im sure Hawk did the same at summerslam 92 before facing money inc, he was completely off his bonce in that match

[@PontFlair]

And still sold better and worked better than Animal R.I.P Might not be saying much. But he was the guy who sold and he pulled it off while under the influence.

[@OikPoinFive]

@@PontFlair weird how both matches had troublemaker steroid-drunkys - and they still performed well: LOD vs Money Inc and Bret vs Bulldog.

[@PontFlair]

@OikPoinFive Davey Boy R.I.P needed to be somewhat carried, BUT, he did help pull the match off vs Bret. I think around this time, Davey and WARYA R.I.P were messing with HGH and other stuff.

[@LostWarriorPoet]

Love love love the Bret clips 👊💜

[@Shaggzila]

Bret’s right about the tag team division falling off and Hawk. The WWF had some great teams but many of the teams of the 80s were breaking up and a lot of the new teams were made in WCW and Vince wasn’t going to push them to the moon. Outside the Natural Disasters, Money Inc., high energy/new foundation and the Beverly Brothers you had the head shrinkers, road warriors, Steiner brothers, and Nasty Boys. Power and glory were around a year or so but Paul Roma talked about how Vince had no plans to push them and everything power and glory was created by Roma and Herc. That Paul Orndorff told Roma that the only way power and glory was going to get over was if they made it happen. I think Animal had talked about how the road warriors run in the wwf was very weak at best. Hawk had a lot of issues at that time and they weren’t being given a chance to feud with some of the top teams. Like everyone wanted a proper LOD vs Demolition feud but it didn’t happen because Vince wanted to phase out Demolition and Ax was going through health issues but Vince and Ax were also fighting over the IP for Demolition. Bret mentioned the match between them two and it was a one off, power and glory became a squash match, the LOD vs Rockers match was at the end of the rockers teaming up, the feuds and matches just weren’t there.

[@OikPoinFive]

WM 7 my way: Hart Foundation vs Power & Glory - TT. P&G win. LOD vs Demolition. LOD win. Rockers vs Haku/Barbarian. Rockers win!!! Bushwackers vs Orient Express. OE win. Genryu/Tenyiu vs Nasty Boys. NB'ss win !

[@freshparkfilms]

this fits perfect right now considering it was 115° today in NJ 😅😂

[@patiodweller]

Wasn't SummerSlam 90's best 2 out of 3 match HF v. Demolition not LOD?

[@Idiedin1980]

The difference between wrestling then and today is then, your friend could tell you he had a great match on VHS, tell you who won, what happened and it was still exciting to see it. Now it seems everything is only built around surprise face/heel turns, surprise run in's, etc...once it's spoiled, no need to watch.

[@BXMarathoner26]

Bret did look particularly sweaty after that match like he was doused with water. It absolutely makes sense now with the AC being busted during a heatwave.

[@logandowdy9887]

Steiners were memorable, but they didnt draw in WWE like WCW.

[@joshuacobb2842]

They're an 80s team, though.

[@DeathAdder9000]

@@joshuacobb2842they didn’t break up until 1998

[@PontFlair]

They weren't in WWF/E very long. Plus, they didn't have the Tags to wrestle like in WCW and WWF didn't have a deal with New Japan.

[@frankpfaff9675]

The two out of three falls match only went 15 minutes instead of 30 but with the heat it probably felt like being in there an hour.

I'm going to guess that he was exaggerating about the 120-degree heat. It might have felt like 120 with the humidity. I've lived in PA my whole life, and it has never been anywhere near 120 at any time.

​@@mmabuff101very short lived. I think Money Inc split or Ted was getting close to retiring, The Bodies were mostly still with Cornette in Smoky Mountain, the Quebeccers were decent but just not believable beating The Steiners, they didn't let The Steiners wrestle The Headshrinkers except at WM 9, right? Which is crazy bc SBs and HS wrestled in WCW. That could've been a good rivalry. Just seems like the WWF/E Tag-Team scene died almost as soon as The Steiners came in.

[@ToadstedCroaks]

I don't think there were dedicated tag teams after that point in the industry. You just ended up with the business putting two talents together to technically have a tag team .. but it was always temporary. Stuff like the rock with stone cold, kane with undertaker .. and I can't even think of anything else it's so random when it happens. I think the only thematic one I can think of was the hardy boyz, and they were more 90s emo spectacle as like shock therapy for viewers. It was EXTREEEEEEEME product placement. I think the industry just focused more on individual stardom by that point, trying to fill in for the big names that were disappearing at that point. WCW was starting to make tracks .. and you saw more interesting tag team / group dynamics going on over there, so I bet vince wanted to try and distance the business away from it. Plus .. vince was hating all the money issues that was going on, and having a tag team kinda meant you were paying four people for a bit that could be filled with just paying two guys. Or for that matter, they were starting to push women more into the ring.

[@btgkg9639]

I hardly remember any tag team that stood out in WCW.

[@HenryMoran-z7v]

The blackjacks, the headbangers, Money INC, The Smoking Gunns, were also good tag teams as well.

[@mox19380]

3 out of the 5 teams you mentioned were not even in wrestling during the era bret is talking about. steiners were in wcw. LOD had only been with the company about a month. now if we look at the tag teams who were with bret during his tag team run (Rockers, Demolition, Killer Bees, Rougeaus, Strike Force, bulldogs, brain busters) maybe we can argue bret's point. but we need to compare his tag team to tag teams he actually worked with or were with the company at the same time

[@Myrridan19]

I took Bret's statement to be about the strength of the tag team division, which only really works when there are lots of good teams. For WWF, the mid to late 80s was perhaps the strongest tag team division they've ever had. The Steiner Brothers were amazing but didn't have good competition to fill out the division (in WWF). This is a WWF centered statement so WCW and TNA teams aren't relevant. Usos are not very good, and their gimmick is a rip off of a rip off of a rip off.
