WWF WWE WCW AEW Bret Hart The Hitman - Exclusive Interview For The Love Of Wrestling 2019

Without a doubt, in my mind, this man is the greatest wrestler to ever walk this earth. 💗🖤🇨🇦

[@gst013]

"I'd rather you read my book and asked me a different question." Lol...gotta love Bret and the fact that he gives zero f*cks 😅

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Bret has every right to be as emotional as he is in parts of this interview. Dude has been through so much and has been screwed over so many times. Just about every close friend and family member he’s had is dead. He was fucked over in WWF and fucked over in WCW. For all the shit he’s been through he’s actually holding it together really well.

[@sequoyahchapman676]

Yes! He has been f***ed over big time and he fought against everything that he's been through he is a strong warrior and he will be okay! Because God is with him walking side by side every where he goes seriously

[@opskillz0690]

Simply the best there is, was and ever will be. Goat. Period.

[@Warlow1980]

I am right there with you guys. I seen him wrestle twice in the Omni in Atlanta in 90 &91. He was in the Hart Foundation tagging at the time but he's definitely my all time favorite wrestler. And I loved the 97 heel turn and I think he did his best ring work and mic work at that time. And the 90s was better!

[@jmatrix010]

I don’t know about all that

[@jmatrix010]

Bret seems to hate everyone and everything

[@Dublinproud]

So much love and admiration for this man. There will never be another.

The airplane story with Owen and Davey had me rolling with laughter. Listening to Bret is like listening to your old uncle tell stories about the old days, so grateful he is still with us. ❤

[@kellyremple8982]

Bret has always said that since his stroke he has good days emotionally and bad. He never knows when the tough days will come, or why.... He fought through a tough day here.

[@tylerdame326]

I got to see Bret Hart wrestle live just a few short weeks before his injury at the hands of Goldberg. Halloween Havoc '99 live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Bret wrestled Lex Luger that night. I was just 6 years old. I'll never forget how loud my screams were when Bret made his entrance. My Dad was a real big Bret Hart fan and he passed down his fandom to me and I've been a Bret Hart fan since. I'm 28 now. He's still my hero. Bret really made some of the bad times in my childhood and teen years bearable. A real legend. I'm so blessed and grateful that I got to watch him once at a live event. If anybody had the chance to watch Bret wrestle live, you're lucky!

[@SCARLEMSCARS]

That match was shit man Lol.

[@thedarkblockagency]

He's so tired of it..Poor Bret is tired of being loved by people that didnt know him...He tries to still make us happy tho..God bless him.

[@UFCWWE69]

Yeah u got kids in the crowd that weren’t even born yet when Bret retired

[@Arandomguyat1]

He is still loveable man..

[@JB-qt3wo]

I don’t think he’s tired bcuz of that. I think he’s tired becuz #1. He just kind of had a melancholic personality. #2. He’s in pain. #3. He had a stroke. #4 His brother died. #5 Goldberg almost caved his head in with his foot. Bret doesn’t necessarily have a “cup half full” attitude which doesn’t help either. His main sense of resentment from a non-physical ailment perspective seems to be the fact that he felt like he was rejected by the WWF and had to end his career humiliated in the “Bush League” WCW.

The best technical wrestler ever

[@DannyTubiolo]

bret was a perfectionist when coming to his technical in ring skills, how he maneuvered mentally with phycology of all his matches & story lines.. he states himself 7 out of 10 with mic skills, i agree with him up to the attitude era forth... but his mic skills at end of his career on mic were legendary imo... bret's biggest negative as a whole was he breathed the hitman character obsessively all his life tied wrestling as a shoot. that will fk with anyone's head in time.. in the end, hes top 3 ever to lace the boots

[@dingdong7610]

Nice to see Bret is accepting of it. Being Canadian I know how proud Canada should be of him. He truly was a top performer in pro wrestling/sports entertainment history. To me he's up there with Gretzky and Donovan and Mario as the best Canadian athlete/showman/legend

[@Arandomguyat1]

Biggest regret in my life is I never got to see this legend live.

[@arwurth]

I got to see him about a month before Montreal, of course this was in the US/Canada angle so I was booing and flipping him off. But looking back, I'm so glad I got to see him in person.

[@kennypatnaude3337]

You didn't miss much

[@mctavish4496]

I was lucky enough to be at Summerslam 1992. That match he had with Davey was as good as everyone says it was. Thankfully it was at Wembley stadium which was about half an hour from where I was living at the time. Bret Hart will always be in my top 3 greatest of all time.

When Stu Hart was wrestling in NYC. The Hart’s lived in Edmonton. My Great Aunt lived beside them and always made the family Soup and homemade buns. They had like 11 or 12 kids. That would have been in the 50-60’s.

Bret Hitman Hart the goat Wrestler's Wrestler!!!!

[@newfnshow031]

Best wrestler ever and probably 20 people in the crowd. That's insane

[@Longlostpuss]

Things move on extremely quickly from generation to generation unfortunately and people are quickly forgotten for the next perceived big thing. Those in the crowd are probably die hard old school wrestling fans, who are probably few and far between these days. Wrestling is a dying sport, mainly because guys like Bret just aren't present in today's talent. Yeah sure, wrestlers can pull off more fancy stuff these days, but the real art of the pacing, timing, storytelling and realism that Bret was renowned for is a lost art. Just enjoy the memories man, was watching that opener of WM10 between Bret and Owen and that match is one of the best wrestling matches I've ever seen, still now. To think it was first on the card as well.

[@BillBiggs1]

@@Longlostpuss it was probably poorly promoted, if this was London, it would have been packed.

[@Longlostpuss]

@@BillBiggs1 I don't think so. The new generation doesn't care about oldies like Bret Hart as I said and it feels weird calling him that now because it makes me feel old myself. The only guys who will turn our for specific meets like this are guys from the generation who grew up watching him. These retired wrestlers gain more traction at events like Comic Con.

[@BillBiggs1]

@@Longlostpuss ur probably right, though I think Brett has general universal respect, just look at the reception he got at his Hall of Fame appearance either way Comic Con is way more entertaining

[@johnmarlow7959]

Owen, Dynamite and Davey Boy deserve the induction.

[@kRazyyyyyyy]

i always love the way bret tells stories. u give him one word and he speaks out everything that comes to his mind. he also never sugarcoats anything and i personally NEVER found him bitter in any way - he has the right to be that way more than anybody else, so he is simply honest and not bitter. todays wrestling isn't wrestling anymore and like bret, i love to watch the oldschool stuff instead of wwe's soap opera bs or aew's high flying clown fest. since the early 90s when i started to watch wrestling, bret hart is my hero in the ring and he is simply the best ever. the interviewer is a lil annoying tho...

[@SupraRy]

Ohhhh he's pretty bitter about eric bischoff and wcw. Have you never seen another bret hart interview? Lol

[@earlusmcdivett]

Between the golf clap response on not talking about Montreal to his response of reading his book, this didn’t start off well. Hart didn’t seem like he was feeling this.

[@Dodgers-sw2uk]

Bret felt hurt when an older looking man said “I loved you when I was a kid”

Passion passion passion ... This guy is full of passion for wrestling.. and that's what I like to see..

[@Rich-km7pr]

[@glamgal7106]

The name Bret Hart is synonymous with the word legend. He'd proved this time and time again. Bret also has proven to be an excellent storyteller in which he can tell funny anecdotes with a straight face. Regarding his story about him and Owen tugging their earlobes as a sign for the steward to move Davey to the back of the plane, I wonder if they used to watch Carol Burnett--she used to tug her earlobe at the end of her shows. *38:00* Bret: "My dog at home knows more about wrestling than Eric Bischoff will ever know." Classic!

[@mctavish4496]

Bret said to Goldberg before the match they had at Starrcade " whatever you do Bill, don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me. " So it was already known that Goldberg could be stiff in the ring. Yes he obviously didn't mean to do what he did to Bret. I think Bret is still annoyed with the lack of care shown by Goldberg in the ring, and has every right to.

[@sleazyfellow]

Best wrestler ever, period.

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

Why do people keep booking Bret? He’s told the same 5 story’s for 20 years. That’s not even mentioning his books and dvds. Yes he was champion, but wrestling is a work. He wasn’t a boxer, mma fighter, or any combat sport champion. Bret and cornette are the only two that take this seriously.

[@kdr3619]

"I have respect for Bill, but he really fucked up my whole life". That's so unfortunate man. I didn't realise that the Goldberg kick took it that far. One stupid mistake ... and these wrestlers put everything on the line. I remember reading Bret's book, and just befoer the match with Goldberg, he tells him: "Bill, whatever you do, don't hurt me. Just don't hurt me."

i think its more of goldlberg not being more apologetic about it that makes bret still really bitter, doesn't help that the guy that ended his career and costed him 16 million dollars is in the hall of fame and got a lot of money just for his look instead of in ring ability.

[@towserfm]

You are telling us that 'Goldberg hurting his opponent' happened accidentally? Until quite recently that happened on a regular basis.

That’s a bit unfair. Bill was apparently a bit stiff with moves like the Spear, but besides Bret, who has he actually injured? Who has he caused to miss work because of what he did in the ring? He wasn’t a good worker at all, but aside from Bret, I can’t recall him putting anyone on the shelf.
