Heck most of these I watch on my lunch at work! Great way to spend the time I think!

Honestly everything Bret did in the ring in his prime was so crisp and perfectly buttery smooth, just incredible to watch.

[@mrkipling2201]

I'm happy to say that I attended this show and I'm so glad that I did. I'd started watching the WWF in 1989, Summerslam was the first show I watched actually!! On Sky One here in England. Wembley stadium was about 45 minutes from my house at the time by public transport. A brilliant show and I'm surprised it's the only big PPV show that's ever happened in England.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Almost 30 years later, I still say this is one of the greatest Summerslam main event matches of all time Side note: it's always a great pleasure rewatching awesome content from one of the best wrestling channels ever

[@Thor-Orion]

One of the Greatest matches anywhere, ever.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

I always loved this match. Learning how much Bret carried Bulldog only increased my fandom. He was a true ring general.

[@karlepaul6632]

Knowing Bulldog was inebriated, doesn't matter. When the intros begin, I'm immediately invested: It's 1992 and I'm watching a CLASSIC! 😎👍✨🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@kshinokevin]

After Davey Boy had left the WWF for WCW/NWA; I thought that it was just okay...

[@owenpeterson]

1. Of course Bret made the match awesome, but I'll say that the fact that the Bulldog was able to hold up his end and make the match as much of a masterpiece as it was shows that he can be credited to being a great "follower". The match wouldn't have been so great if it involved those less capable of having a good match, gassed or clean. 2. During his 1994-1997 run, I wish the Bulldog had a second run with the Intercontinental Belt, preferably during his heel run in Camp Cornette.

[@Alpha_omega_102]

Especially taking into account he had been smoking crack all summer! Mad

[@glamgal7106]

I remember meeting Davey personally. He was very nice and took the time to answer some questions that I was interested to find out about--e.g.--when Ozzy Osborne escorted him and Dynamite Kid to the ring, if they were afraid that Ozzy would bite poor Matilda's head off. Davey laughed and said, "Actually Ozzy was more nervous than we were" and implied that it was likely due to Ozzy not being used to that type of audience.

[@MrTomahawk01]

Another very underrated British bulldog match is Owen Hart versus British bulldog for the first European championship match. Will you please review this match no matter how many chin locks there are

[@MrTomahawk01]

Are you sure because I saw it on shotgun Saturday night

[@captainmalone3217]

@Phenomenal Ace you sure

[@righthandjds95]

A Davey Boy chin lock on Davey Boy Smith how IRONIC 🤣

[@Konglomerant]

Brets boots are basically Air Jordan 11’s. Dope!!

[@petevaldezbc1]

You noticed too! And Bret wore them long before MJ!

[@TheCrimsonTruthYouCantHandle]

No Air Jordan 11s were basically Bret's boots

[@zackschilling4376]

All credit to Bret, I know hes not everyones cup of tea but dudes got the skills when it comes to wrestling. How many times has he made sub-par wrestlers look like a million bucks?

[@jh230377]

It was sad to hear Davey Boy had so many issues at the time as he and Bret delivered one of the greatest matches ever. Not only did Bret have to play the Heel to Davey Boy's Babyface but had to carry him for most of it. Respect to the Hitman for that. Also sad to think just 10 years later Davey was gone. RIP Davey Boy Smith!!

[@lexkanyima2195]

That's tragedy

[@aceofspades4269]

The fact that this match went successfully was miracle given the factors leading to it. Bret Hart proved in this match he can carry someone and make a match look good no matter the circumstance.

[@thebloodypariah]

One too many chinlocks for wwe copyright's liking.

[@maxb4210]

Do you remember what they were?

[@Noveliss]

Bret is the GOAT. Everything he did was so quick and crisp and believable. Literally everything. This was already my favorite Bret match but when you learn about the story behind this and everything Bret was carrying here, it's insane.

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

"I'm fooked"

I love that you used classic hitman theme. I'm a guitar player and can appreciate all the whammy bar dive bombs in the updated WWE theme....but I still ...I prefer the original

[@solascriptura-e7t]

I watched the initial upload. I'll watch this one, also. I'll rewrite my original comment: "People have said that Bret Hart can wrestle a broom to a five star match". No lie: the Hitman IS one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots.

[@ZeroSA]

Again, thank you so much for properly saying "Bret, I'm fooked"

[@glamgal7106]

Once I met Davey and we were chatting. This girl with pink hair walked by and he said, "Look at her fooking hair." Apparently this wasn't his style and he clearly expressed it.

[@JPD2587]

-already watched the old upload twice and coming back to watch again- “I’m doing my part!”

[@johnfoord6325]

They were simply upset that you got more views than Raw. Is it weird this happened on a Monday?

[@zlinedavid]

Mista Hitman......I'm fooooooked

[@HelenM1994]

Watched once, will watch again! Rethought my original comment, and concluded that this more than useful for new wrestlers than to understand pacing, storytelling and how to go over whilst having lost, but also how to make a match interesting without continual high spots, and how to have an amazing match with someone not up to par.

[@ziahamm1603]

When some people try to downplay Brets accomplishments in the ring or claim he was overrated my simple answer is for them watch this match. Bret is shall we say, not too shy about blowing his own trumpet, but when it comes to this match its fully justified IMO.

[@ziahamm1603]

@ShadowAngel go back and read my comment again. It related to in ring ability. Besides I'm pretty sure he was a bigger draw than HBK and Diesel so your comment is complete and utter nonsense as well.

[@ziahamm1603]

@ShadowAngel revisionist history I see. You tell yourself what you need to bud. Its common knowledge that Bret drew more than Diesel and Shawn. Plus Bret had a strong presence with the international markets and probably was the most popular WWF wrestler overseas until Stone Cold came along. There is a reason why Vince put the title on him 5 times (though I dont count the 1 day title reign after the final 4 PPV as that was merely transitional) He obviously must have succeeded in some regard if that happened so your comment that he 'failed hard' so many times holds no water.

[@jameswarner5878]

Hart v Perfect the year prior was a superior match, but Hart v Bulldog had a far superior build and more on the line. It's similar to Hogan v Warrior, the match itself wasnt the greatest main event of all time but the bulld and what was on the line makes it one of, if not the greatest main event in Wrestlemania history... no matter what the WWE polls say.

[@pjay213]

I’d take Warrior V Macho Man anyday

[@KaneDeathBreaker]

Bret did the exact same thing with getting Stone Cold completely over. A phenomenal match with the double turn to boot. He was spot on when it came to matches and what people needed to see in a match.

[@wrestlingtapes2036]

The greatest match in SummerSlam history let alone wrestling. Also Bret I’m fooked. Bret Hart is the innovator of the ladder match. Without Bret, there’s no ladder match. There’s no TLC. There’s nothing. Bret is the goat. Only Bret Hart could have done this. Another reason why Bret is on another level.

[@imogenaris1697]

This is a great revisiting of one of the greatest matches of all time. Bret deserves tremendous accolades for everything he did & endured in this match. Bret & Davey were 2 of the 3 best wrestlers to come out of Stampede ( R.I.P.) & you know Stu was very proud of what he witnessed here. The HF & The BD's had the best tag team matches in WWF history, so it was great to see how they progressed in singles bouts. Allen Coage claimed he saw Davey & Dynamite allegedly inject Matilda with steroids, so I lost all respect for them as human beings. Looking at the performer only, Davey was like Scott Steiner- ridiculously gifted as an athelete for his size. Could have been the world champion & the face of the co. had his head been on straight. With the details behind this match, Davey didn't deserve to win, but for nostalgia it was always a great memory to see him reach his peak here in his homeland. R.I.P. Davey

[@PatrickIS-mb2hr]

I'm confused what part made you have to re-upload this video. Cause from the original viewing/version there didn't seem to be any thing wrong with the original video

Damn! Awesome video! Thank You. Bret Hart fan 4-ever. 👍✌️💓

[@codeman3788]

I absolutely love the Hitman and his matches are as good as he says they are, and I know all wrestlers have egos but there is something about Bret's that is just really annoying and probably half truthful, i know there were hitman fans but the UK loved the British Bulldog and for him to say the UK fans really wanted to cheer for him which may be true, but high unlikely, is kind of annoying to hear, still love Bret's matches, but that ego is hard to digest sometimes lol

[@nirvanajunkie19]

The sympathy of a loss is one of the most beautiful things in wrestling. The same thing happened for Hulk when he lost to Warrior and Rock.

In the us this match was not hyped up as the main event it was savage warrior. When summerslam was announced savage warrior was listed as the main event. I guess bret/bulldog was promoted as the main event in the uk but it wasnt in America
