I love this. Asking Bret Hart, the jewel of the most famous wrestling family in history, if his family know he's a wrestler 😂😂 10/10 sets the tone perfectly, great job J-Roc!

Trailer park life
To think Jarrett is still going strong today. Im 43 & Ive been watching since 1983 when Snuka came off the cage. Most of the earlier stuff my uncle had on VHS. I would watch them when he went to work. Im amazed that anyone from that era is still going today. A piece of it dies every day, & with it a little bit more of my childhood. Even the next generation has already begun to retire. The Cenas, Ortons, Danielsons, etc. Im keenly aware that Im at the age I've seen 3-4 generations of sports & they have been the best. I kinda feel bad for kids today that missed those eras. Watching on KZread isnt the same as living it.

One thing about WWF at the time - the brains around the wrestlers were always very smart - they are top notch marketers, and top notch speakers.
This actually looks like a really good card, Taker vs Yoko, Razor vs Double J, Bret vs The Anvil (would rather see Owen in this spot) Adam Bomb vs Kwang and Diesel also looks like hes in there.

What's funny is hearing Bret Hart say that he only had about 3 years left. And this is in 94 and he left the WWF in 97. And would only last number 3 years after that. He wasn't far off

Insane that he was nearly spot on with his prediction - especially since after this he signed a 20 year lifetime contract that Vince wanted to get out of due to the downturn in business and being on the losing side (to start with) against WCW, which then forced Bret to WCW - where his career eventually ended after being misused by Bischoff - WWF wise, yep, 3 years - done. Thankfully his legacy lives on.
