Missed opportunity of a LIFETIME!!! They could have set up a match between Hogan and Bret for the title at SummerSlam (like they originally planned) and have Hogan turn HEEL. Hogan could have cut promos about how he's the biggest star in WWF history and how Bret doesn't stand a chance against him, etc.... The Hogan heel turn in WCW (with the NWO) would happen just a few years later. Hogan began his WWF career as a heel with Freddy Blassie as his manager, and he could have turned heel again on the way out. Bret would have been the underdog taking on the toughest champion in company history. The man that beat Bundy, Andre, Sid, Undertaker, etc... Imagine how over Bret would have been to get a win over Hogan at SummerSlam. THAT would have launched the New Generation era better than anything ever.

Bret was still relatively new as a main eventer and was slowly transfering to a full fledged babyface after endless years of being a heel with Neidhart and Jimmy Hart...

*Bret was never put over strong like former champions were* . Ultimate Warrior got to beat Hogan clean at WM but never lost clean to anyone. Hogan won the title clean from Iron Shiek and stayed unbeaten for ages. Bret wins the title on a house show (not a PPV) so nobody sees it, and then LOSES TO A HEEL (Yokozuna) at his first WM as champion. That's some serious BS. Bret should have won the title from Ric Flair on a PPV (WM8 for example) and then held onto it versus Yokozuna. You could have had Fuji and Yoko beat up Bret after the match at WM9 and then have Hogan come out and make the save, put the title on Bret, pop the crowd, and then let Bret celebrate in the ring to close the show. He needed to win the title and defend it on PPVs to build him as champion. It wasn't going to happen on house shows.

Makes sense that's where the money is. Also not to many other people making the case yo be I. That spot while he was there. Hogans run was played out and he clearly didn't want to be full time. Vince tried.and wanted luger and the fans rejected him. Shawn was still ways away from being ready for the spot. Diesel was a bit of a rough sell as.a Babyface he seemed to Garner more attention as a very tough to beat heel, plus was really green. Savage didn't wanna do full time (Savage says so himself) I guess people think he did wanna go full time cause he wrestled in WCW, but they were offering big money and lighter schedules. They passed Bret up to get o e more run out of Hogan, which wasn't as I believe as successful as they had originally hoped for. Then tried Lex who didn't work. By the time WM10 came.around and Bret got it back it was clear he was.#1. they felt he could be the champ they let h beat Ric Flair clean for the title,and all Bret knew beforehand was how WWF treated Hulk as the top guy so he always compared what he was.doing to what he knew which was Hogan. Also in Bret's the if you put the title on a Babyface that was a big deal. Heels were transitional champs not so much babyfaces (at least that had been WWFs formula and probably the formula on Stampede).Most promotions wouldn't put the big strap on a guy under 30 or even in some.cases that was a bit young depending how long they were in the business. It is clear though the WWF had big shoes.to fill with Hogan gone and we're.trying new things which led to title.chnages becoming more common especially with more PPV introduced.

Bret saved the WWF at it`s lowest point then handed the torch over to Michaels during he screwjob who n turn handed the top spot to Austen who then made more money for the company as the healine act than anybody else, all three did there part during that fragile low point in WWF history.

I would've kept Bret as the dominant champion throughout '93 and into '94. Defends and defeats a crazed heel Randy Savage at Wrestlemania IX, narrowly makes it out alive against Bigelow at King Of The Ring '93, saved by a knockout from Luger at Summerslam '93, only to be betrayed by Owen at Survivor Series '93, missing out Royal Rumble '94 with a brief "knee injury" and losing to Owen at Wrestlemania X, only to regain the belt at Summerslam '94. And keeping the belt until around Survivor Series '94, losing the belt again to Bigelow (taking Backlund's spot).

I would be unhappy as well, going from WWF Champ to a silly ass comedy feud.

I like that their idea was to have the belt on "unbeatable heel" Yokozuna, and their way to launch their new "unbeatable" heel champion was to have Bret Sharpshooter him and only lose because Fuji threw salt in his eyes, then have Hogan squash him in 30 seconds immediately after. Good job idiots, I can't imagine why business died off in 93.

Bret was told he would work with Hulk Hogan at Summerslam 93, winning the title. Hulk changed his mind. Refused to do a job to Bret. So they switch from Bret winning the title and be the highest paid position, to working with Lawler. Why is it hard for people to understand this? It has nothing to do with Jerry. Who wouldn't be disappointed? Like, cmon.

I thought Bret knocked it out the park in King of the Ring, three different great matches in the same night. Bret was always used as a transitional champion, mainly because of his first run, which was lacklustre as everyone that was any good, had left the company, Bret needed real heels like Dibiase or Jake Roberts.

I would have put the strap on Hennig in late 92 after he turns on Flair and Heenan. Has a career vs title match with Flair at RR 93. Bret wins RR 93 and the beats Hennig at WM for the title. Yoko could have worked with Taker or Hogan without putting the strap on him.

When Hogan came back in Feb 93, it was pretty much always just going to be a quick 1 big match cash in for Hulk, and that was at WM 9. Hulk realised his star power and influence in wwf was gone and done and so did Vince, which is why they didnt try to make a long term deal. Instead they worked out a deal for that upcoming tour in july in europe, because Hulk was still very popular in europe. So the idea was just to do that only. Vince doesn't like baby face v babyface matches, thats why we didnt get a Warrior v Hogan rematch. You rarely ever saw a face v face in wwf at that time. Vince probably didnt want Bret to look like a bad guy in beating Hulk. Besides that Vince still had some doubts about Bret being his number 1 guy. He kinda only put the belt on Bret to take it away from Flair. The idea was to put the title on Warrior before Warrior got fired in Oct 92. Bret was a fill in. The plan was to put the title on a Big Man, ie: Yoko, or Luger. WCW had Vader Yoko was a bigger Vader. The Magazines will tease any possibility to make sells. Bottom line: Vince was really unsure of having Hogan v Bret and Bret Hart can come off sounding pushy and entitled.

Hart foundation were heroes and team austin was booed 97 is an underrated year imo but heel cena wouldnt work I dont think because of how bad we all want it the heel turn would make him more cheered than ever before

John Cena should have ended his career in 1999... (For anyone about to call me dumb and say he didn't start until the early 2000s, I know... Figure it out)

I don’t believe it for one minute that Vince told Bret that he would beat Hogan with the sharp shooter at Sumer Slam. No way in 93 was going to have the biggest baby face in company history just give up to another baby face, who at that time was the company’s lowest drawing World Champion ever. Bret’s first title run did not have the numbers that Hogan, Savage, Flair, Warrior, or Sgt. Slaughter had in decade before .

Brian Rose there were only 9 legit world champions before him. And to be fair: Sammartino, Pedro Morales, Superstar, Bob Backlund, Sgt. Slaughter, Hulk Hogan, Warrior, Flair and Savage did seem like bigger stars then him. And who at that time in 1993 was in the company not named these guys seem like they were bigger? And the first 3 and a half were before Vincent K was in charge. And one was arguably a transitional champ in Slaughter. But debatable.

Hogan had become stale at that point and fans were starting to not care anymore about him. This was the beginning of a new era where the smaller wrestlers were going to shine so yes I do firmly believe Vince told Bret that Hogan would put him over. Vince also changed his mind and lied about the whole thing too which Vince is notorious for doing.

the weakest part of Mania 9 and Mania 10 was how the fuck does salt in your eyes make your shoulders stick to the mat? and falling off the turnbuckle is enough for a pin without a follow up move? Bret couldnt hit a elbow drop from the ropes?

Couldn’t you have just saved us 18 min and just say… “I wasn’t in the room so I have no fucking idea”?

Title should be "Bret wanted to beat Hogan, but mostly a lot of other stuff...."

UnHolyWible he was a heel.

Hard to believe hardly anything that Bruce says because he's got his lips too firmly placed on Vince's backside. Given the landscape at the time, so many things would have worked or not worked and it's anyone's guess as to what would have been best. If Vince wanted to put the title on Bret, he should have waited to do it at a PPV. Flair wins the title back from Macho and then holds onto it until Survivor Series or Royal Rumble. Bret wins the title there and then faces another top face like Macho at WrestleMania and goes over. Bret goes onto the King of the Ring and faces Mr. Perfect but it goes to a draw and a rematch is automatically scheduled for SummerSlam but at King of the Ring, there is a stipulation that says that the winner of the tournament gets the title shot at SummerSlam. The tournament is won by a heel, such as Razor or Shawn, and it becomes a match between Perfect and the King of the Ring, and Bret ends up facing Perfect and loses it to him. I mean, that would have made more sense than what we got.

Hogan was afraid of being booed at Summerslam - end of story. Getting eliminated at Royal Rumble 1992 and hearing the crowd CHEER for it was really the moment of realization for Hogan. Mania 9 was a bullshit finish, King of the Ring championship no one cared for so Bret saved the show . . . later on, Hogan's promo over the Macho Man winning World War 3 - that was when he knew the fans didn't like Hulkamania anymore and his bogus way of losing titles was over with.

In 92/93 Bret was the best worker in the business by far.
