Bret should've been Champ at WM IX. Hogan was part time and Bret was full time so Bret should've been Champ. Also there's no way Hogan would ever lose to Bret Hart's Sharpshooter at Summerslam. 3 Guys during that time would never lose by Submission and they are The Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior, and Hulk Hogan.

I completely sympathize with a lot of Brett's animosity towards various wrestlers and some of the business. However, one thing Brett didn't seem to fully grasp or refused to was that the WWF/WWE is a business 1st. When Hogan interacts in the organization, for example, it's on a business level. Since WWF/WWE is a business anyone employed/has a contract with that business isn't doing anything wrong when they're trying to elevate their status (which means increased paychecks) in that business. It's part of the game. In business, things like loyalty aren't transactional and you should expect none will be returned. It's always been like that and it'll always be like that.

Two, he created more friction between Hulk and Bret by telling Bret all the negative stuff Hogan said about him as opposed to setting them both down in the same room and let them iron out their issues.

Bret Hart is the greatest technical wrestler of all time because he could wrestle people without using tables, ladders, and chairs. He wrestled Owen Hart in a steel cage without spilling a drop of blood and it’s considered one of the greatest steel cage matches of all time. Made very few mistakes in the ring and there was some integrity about him in his business dealings. Definitely up there with Lou Thez, Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund. Very honorable people.

That would have been an incredible moment in history to have Bret Hart submit Hulk Hogan in the sharpshooter in the middle of the ring at Summerslam. A moment we would never stop talking about.

I had heard the original plan was Bret was going to defeat Yokozuna which would have been during the middle of the card and Hogan and Beefcake were going to beat Money INC for the belts in the last match so WM9 would have ended with Hogan celebrating at the end as a champion anyway however Hogan decided the tag team belts were beneath him and wanted the WWF belt again so the finishes were changed as were the order of the matches as well.

Bret is a guy who is full of so close moments which could have made for fantastic wrestling. A match with Hogan at SummerSlam in ‘93, another match with Austin at WrestleMaina 14. A big time money feud with Hogan or someone when he debuts in WCW. Maybe if he doesn’t get concussed he does some indie dates. Just imagine Bret Hart in an early 2000’s ROH. Having a 30 minute match with Joe on his ROH World Title run, a feud with CM Punk after his 60 minute draw with Joe. A battle with Danielson in 2006. Bret on the second rope but Joe catches him and sets him up for the Muscle Buster but Bret counters in a small package Punk vs Bret is a money match because if Punk (as shown in his AEW run) LOVES Bret. I’ve been thinking and seeing some Terry Funk stuff recently and his feud with Ric Flair is an older veteran trying to keep up with the younger generation. That could be the theme of the ROH run.

Was it maybe because in 1994 he completely destroyed Calgary for the WWF (drawing only 6,400 and 4,000 to the Saddledome, a venue that holds 20,000 and WWF thought Bret vs. Owen for the Championship in their hometown would sell it out)? Was it maybe because he still holds two distintive records? 1. Main Eventing the lowest selling WWF PPV of all time (IYH5, didn't even reach 80,000 buys) 2. The World Champion with the by far, absolute lowest MSG Attendance EVER (4,300 on August 25, 1994, 1000 tickets handed out for free) Btw: Diesel was the first WWF Champion to sell out the Madison Square Garden (May 1996) after a near 7 year dry spell (September 1989 being the last time), for a House Show. Did you know that Diesel actually ranks pretty much in the middle of all WWF Champions when it comes to drawing power?

Is the full video of this up somewhere?

People acting as if it's Hogan booking the show, if Vince really believed Bret was the guy it doesn't matter what Hogan thinks. Vince had changes of heart about Bret several times the most famous of which when he signed him to a massive contract and then realized he didn't want to pay him that much cash anymore, which launched the whole debacle with him leaving the WWF and the screwjob. And part of the reason this happened was because Vince really thought highly of Bret as a reliable, loyal worker and WANTED him to be the guy, but this didn't reflect in the ratings because Bret just wasn't that much of a character on screen and Vince kept trying to both keep pushing Bret but at the same time keep his edge over Turner where guys like MIchaels and Hogan were better than Bret. Bret was such a mark that he thought that just because he was getting pops in the arenas that meant that he must be as over as Hogan, when in fact freaking Scotty 2 Hotty got pops on Smackdown, but he wasn't the guy drawing money, these are completely different concepts and Bret never accepted that. Also it's entirely possible that it really was Vince that backtracked and then pinned it on Hogan, Vince is known to stir the pot with bullshit like that, not saying it wasn't Hogan, but it's a possibility

Perhaps, but Bret is the kind of guy who can tell a story about someone else, yet somehow manage to interject getting himself over and being the martyr. It's false humility and what Bret is really doing is saying things wouldn't have happened "x way," if I didn't get involved. The focus is himself, not the other person he claims to be defending. He even did it in his 1996 October return interview on RAW with a much more extreme example about the dying child in the hospital. Even as an 11 year old, I thought something was off about that.

That wrestle mania was the last time I was ever able to make it to a show.good memories.

Bret lives his life like he was put on this earth to be a pro wrestler. It’s his whole identity. Now that it’s over. He is so unhappy. There is more to life than wrestling

Brett was amazing and to those who call him a whiner, you would likely be worse if you lived a fraction of his life. He totally has to speak the truth and open the eyes of fans on what hes been through

@@SSJ2Phenom I mean, if my whole career was destroyed and my way of life due to a crippling injury, id probably be frustrated too. That being said, Im sure he could work on his positivity but you have to remember that he is in the spotlight and people question him constantly about history and his history is tragic so its normal to get the impression that he whines a lot but in fact, he is just being opened to discuss his shitty history which is what any journalists want to hear about.

@@nissy9220 Not really. He's put ton of people over but he calls out the pricks like Hogan. Can't fault a guy for being honest. Most people rather kiss ass all life . A lot of men talk tough online but in real life are pussies that will never stand up for themselves, their familes, wives etc. And just ignore it out of fear. Bret's stories always been pretty dam spot on and tons of wrestlers even the ones that vent on others have told stories of Bret being great and wonderful to work with. If you notice Bret gets asked these questions all the time and always only bashes on a select few guys. You work around a guy like Hogan most of your life you'd get it.

I have a ton of respect for Bret. I just wish he wasn't so bitter towards pretty much anyone you bring up to him. It's really kind of sad.

Bret seems like the type to be bitter nomatter the situation or how long it’s been

I mean at the time it made sense and regardless of Bret's feelings about it, Hogan was a bigger draw than he was, his time was Champion marks one of the low points of the WWF in terms of buy-rates and revenue. He can't really complain too much

I get his anger with Hogan and Wrestlemania. As a kid, I hated that finish, and as an adult, it's still terrible. With that said, Yoko deserved his title win, but they should have left it at that instead of Hulk coming in and ruining the show. I hated Yoko at the time.

Always enjoy hearing Bret talk Hogan

Hogan to his wife before bedtime, “it’s a no from me brother, not tonight jack.”

It's so ironic how Bret's Hulk Hogan story @3:05 pretty much mirrors the same encounter I had with Bret Hart on November 29,1992 at the Rosemont Horizon now known as the All-State Arena. I was in the back and saw Bret and politely asked him for an autograph and picture taken with him and he totally snubbed me. I guess what goes around comes around... 🤔
