+Jennifer Meaux Totally agree. I've always said that Bret is just a straight shooter, gives praise to anyone that deserves it (including himself) and doesn't lie to spare feelings. The reason he talks about himself so much is because he gets asked about himself so much, but he tells it like it is no matter the subject. Wish there were more like him.

+Axel Janes Bret's good guy persona with principle didn't fit in the late 90s. We were starting to have a different era. Bad boy attitude era. In general. Lots of gangbanging here in la and just bad rebellious attitude.

To be fair though.....you're a goon.

+The Fox 88 to be fair with a tight ass like yours it's probably for the best.

absolutely. he has no reason to lie or make shit up. his facts may not always be 100% but of course a stroke will do that to you, my mom has those moments too but you can hardly tell, and he may seem like he takes things really serious but thats why he had the career he did and why hes looked up to by so many, myself included

Don’t forget The Earl! Bob ‘The Slob’ Eaton.

he was strong but not as strong as eddie hall

@@hardcoretj9714 Who?! What about Bobby?!

​@@ennbee2051Earl Robert Eaton ftw 👍

I belive Scott has mentioned that Curt Henning told him to do that with "jobbers."

Scott hall kills people, xpac hits woman , hbk is a total scumbag, hhh buried people , and Kevin Nash domestic violence, Bret hart does none of these things

So according to Bret, he offers the idea of the Ladder Match to Vince, and Vince is on the fence about it but then agrees for Bret to have a demo match with Shawn Michaels which went very well. A couple years later when the WrestleMania X Ladder Match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon is announced all of a sudden Bret says that they stole his idea and also didn’t ask for his permission to do the Ladder Match...... That’s a pretty ridiculous point of view. Bret pitched the idea to Vince two years prior. In my opinion it seems like Bret is a little bitter because the Shawn/Razor Ladder Match is talked about more and is and is also held in a higher regard that the match that Bret had with his brother Owen on the same show...

@The Cortege Kevin Nash was in acting, remember Super Shredder from TMNT: Secret of the Ooze!!??

@@Kain_R_Heinlein he isn't Jewish you idiot

Bret is a mark. But he is also the best ever.

It's sour grapes. Honestly it's everything Bret has been spewing since he was released because he refused to evolve.

@@user-fr1ys2wn4t Refused to evolve? Did you see 1997 WWF Bret Hart / Hart Foundation?

HBK vs Razor is overrated. It's been surpassed by almost all other ladder matches in wwf

@@ronniemacdonald2768 Yes a foundation with a bunch of clowns, and his brother who almost killed Austin with a shitty piledriver. Take a Bret hart match from1988 and one from 1997. Not a single move has changed. Those 20 mins of side headlocks and armbars sure are fun to watch -.-

I love Bret. He's betetr than Shanw and Razor imo. but he should give props where props are due. He can feel a bit 'ripped off' as they used the idea he introduced, but he should at least admit the match is good.

Most guys speak Highly of Hennig. Great guy backstage, funny ribs, party guy, awesome color commentator and an extremely safe worker. Something I always hear when someone talks about Curt is that whenever they’re wrestling it’s be “A night off” for the other man. Absolutely brilliant wrestler, amazing person and definitely my number one favorite.

Curt Hennig shat in Jerry Lawler's crown.

and himself

@@madhatter8508 I thought it was the Undertaker. It was mentioned on Something to wrestle with when Conrad interviewed Bruce Prichard. O don't know Either way gross lol 😂🤣😂🤮

@@madhatter8508 Dont blame him. I made bigger payoff's as a paperboy than Lawler paid his talent back then.

sextc89 I'm sure Bret didn't specifically ask for a ladder match at WM, but that's not the point. If Bret told Vince that he wanted the idea to be used for him and Vince agreed to that, it's pretty bad that Vince booked Shawn and Razor at WM without even telling him about it. Shawn even admits in interviews they stole the idea from him.

Chris Williams I'm sure Bret wouldn't have been thrilled but I doubt he would have been as bothered by it for so many years. Bret would have disagreed I'm sure, but he always respected people that were straight with him, even if it wasn't what he wanted to hear. I liked the Bret/Owen match at WM X better anyway. The Shawn/Razor match was great for sure, mostly because of all the unique high spots that Shawn pulled off. Razor just happened to be there. Honestly I think you could have put the Brooklyn Brawler in there with Shawn and it still would have been a damn good match. Shawn was just that good. I honestly would have loved to see Shawn and Bret do a PPV ladder match. That would have been amazing with two such awesome workers.

@109296360466307036491 First off dude no need to insult me. Just because we don't agree on a match doesn't mean I "don't know much" as you say. Razor was a big athletic guy who could work well for a guy his size. If he were focused on his wrestling versus being a drunk more often he could have been an all time great. Secondly, you compare him to Undertaker at that time. Undertaker had a Frankenstein gimmick at that time that limited his move set. It wasn't until 96'-97' and then later his "American Bad Ass" gimmick that you saw more of what he could do. There is no debate that Undertaker's matches were much better during the second half of his career than the first. Also, Razor was a good worker, but ladder matches tend to do better with smaller, high flyers, which Shawn was and Razor wasn't, so the type of match certainly showcased Shawn's ability more. That said, pretty common knowledge that Shawn carried that match and that Razor was in the ring while Shawn "wrestled a ladder" as Flair used to say.

@109296360466307036491 Ok man, I was buying a lot of what you are saying but to say that Bret and Shawn wouldn't have been a better ladder match. Obviously we are talking "what if's" here but come on. You are seriously comparing Scott Hall with Bret? Dude, I will give you that Shawn is probably the best in ring performer ever (Bret isn't the best, but he is top five), but Razor? The guy had ton of talent and a good look but was focused maybe 5% of the time. If Shawn and Bret had a ladder match in their prime when both were top flight workers and big bumpers, that would have been amazing. As far as Shawn being on drugs at the time, sure he was. But why is he considered maybe the best ever where as Hall is just another good wrestler? A lot of it is because Shawn got cleaned up. If he didn't he likely would be dead today or worse off than Jake Roberts turned out. The second career he had after he came back was just as good, if not better than his first. Sure, he lost some of his athleticism, but his story telling improved 100% from where it was and he could still work just as well as anyone WWE had. It's that second career that makes Michaels what he is today. As far as the Hall/Nash making WCW. Yeah, the NWO did for like two years before the gimmick ran dry, Hogan got too old, Hall drank himself out of the business and Nash got injured every time he sneezed. They lucked into that gimmick and it worked out for a couple of years. You can just as easily say that they helped run the company out of business between mid 98'-01'.

+Chris Williams Ok dude, first off, chill out. You write 3/4 posts for every one I write. You are all over the place with the different points you are trying to make. Secondly, no need to call me an idiot just because you and I disagree on a ladder match from over 20 years ago. So to address your 1000 points from your last four posts: 1. When you say Shawn and Bret couldn't have had a better ladder match than Shawn and Razor (whether or not anyone agrees) you are comparing Bret and Razor. 2. Bret/Shawn iron man match was not carried by either man. Shawn dominated the first half of the match offensively and Bret the second half. 3. I pretty much agree with your entire second post. 4. First off, you called me an idiot so go fuck yourself. 5. Not saying coming up with the gimmick of NWO was luck but lucky it did that well. Too bad they ran in into the ground and rolled with it about 2 years too long. 6. I had no idea how Sting came up with the crow gimmick. Thanks for the tid bit. 7. Hogan held on to the top spot in WCW way too long at the expense of younger guys. He had a later run in WWE? Uh, ok. Runs of like 2-4 months where he wrestled a few times, if you call that a run. Hogan was never a great worker and an old Hogan had zero business main eventing anything. You mention Flair but although he is an embarrassment now he did have a nice WWE run later because he is ten times the worker Hogan is. 8. The Time Warner merger didn't help WCW but there are many reasons it went under. That being one of many and Hogan and the tired NWO crap being another. 9. I think Michaels first and second runs are about equal, and they were very different. Version 1 was more athletic and edgier. Version 2 was still a great worker (not as good as verison 1) and could tell a story much better than version 1. Anyway, I'll wait for your next insult and multiple posts. Have a great day.

No. Bret complains when its called for.

No he complains and trashes people constantly. Just a bitter old man. And thinks his shit don't stink to top it off.

Won't you complain if you went though all the shit he went he's the best wrestler that was ever in the wwf period

Bret is a class act and a technically perfect (almost) wrestler. Might not have the flash, but definitely had the presence.

Shut up daily! Bret is one of the greats and a legend Fuck all u haters!!!

Definetly would had been better than with Razor. Razor too big for perfect ladder matches.

+Dill Clinton I'd have watched it, for sure.

Should've did it 1991. Bret push was a 18 months too late. 90 and 91 he was still messing with Demolition in tag matches. Hart Foundation by 1989,ran its course. Shit,in 1987,Randy and Bret had a great match on SME. Hart was wasted from 89-91.

It took Razor Ramon all of what... six months to win his first title in the WWF? Bret was in the company for 6-7 years before he won his first singles title. It's just a size thing to Vince. The taller you are, the farther you go in the WWF.

After Bret won the world title in 92 for the first time Savage run was just about up and Bret became a legit character 😎

Apparently both Hart and Savage pushed for a feud but Vince was having none of it as he was pushing the New Generation era. God knows why he let what happened at WM9 happen though

Thanks. I know I am.

Redfield 100% Was that meant to be funny? Also it was blatantly you who thumbed up your own comment 😅

I usually thumb up my own comments to give them a little push.

Not even top 5.

So damn true

He's the Ned Beatty of wrasslin.

Hahaha so true

1) Are you saying the left because it was great and they thought it was the main event or that they left because it was awful? 2) My best friend was at that taping (we are both from Portland, ME and were kids in 1992) and I wasn't there. She asked me if I wanted to go, but I declined because my family thought wrestling was stupid and I didn't want to tell them that I liked it. I always watched wrestling at her house because I didn't want my family to know. They found out, anyway (of course). I wish I had gone to the taping. :(

I remember it was getting late in the evening, at that point...

It's not deep, though. It's just froggy.

Bret’s voice has always reminded me of a clear-speaking Sly Stallone

Razor Ramon was a WWF trademark character, so was Diesel. Which is why they went by their names when they went to WCW. Hall and Nash were fine with Hulk having the spotlight because he was making 10x what everyone else was.

It has to more detail of it

mike mac donald is like to see that interview.

Scott came up with the Razor name and it was Tito who came up with Ramon

He was so protective of his legacy ?

maybe top 20.....

Shelia Ellison top 2

Hitman #1

@YTCensorsMe Poop your absolutely right

I agree. Razor was an excellent heel.

Scott could do everything. Very creative mind

Mr. Perfects fault. Got him into drugs.

Decent wrestler? The dude was great and could work with any sized wrestler and make it look good and believable.

Even with his bad habits Scott Hall is one of the greats… unfortunately because of his bad habits & he decided to leave WWE he is not as known.

Only guy that wasnt afraid of Austin and made him look average in the ring.They respect each other a lot outside of wrestling.

Fair point.... And i would hazard a guess the reason Bret was replaced was because Vince knew Bret wouldnt put Shawn over in HIS match.

@@sc239 Yes, I think you're probably right about that.

@@sc239 I think it had more to do with the storyline just fitting better for Shawn and Razor with Shawn still carrying around the old belt with the argument he was never defeated. The gimmick was a natural fit for the storyline. Bret did get ripped off but all things being equal, he was getting the belt back and his brother was getting the top heel spot. Still, Vince should have came to him if he gave his word but hey, forgiveness over permission.

They also had ladder matches in Calgary when Bret was a kid. He’s a liar claiming he invented them.

@@MiningForPies Do you remember who was in those ladder matches? I hadn't heard that before now.

He did not. That match has been around since the 60s. Pat Patterson was in few ladder matches in that era. Bret was just wanting to bring the idea back because it hadn't been done before on WWF.

His Dad owned that company

I think what Bret said is that he came up with the idea by himself. Even though someone else had already came up with it before, Bret had no knowledge of that so it's not like Bret purposely stole the idea.

So that means the one who should be complaining about his match being stolen is Bruce?

But Bret didn't invent ladder matches. Pat Patterson was doing ladder matches in the 60s. It sounds here like Bret is trying to take credit for the invention of the matches

And respected with the undertaker, so yeah shawn michaels was a prick during 92 to 98

+shaunhailey1 ya, you're right. Shawn was a huge prick. Everyone agrees. Bret wasn't exactly mister professional though. When it came time for him to "do the job" he refused to give up the belt, hence the Montreal Screwjob, and the end of Bret's career.

apparently there was a situation where (before Montreal) that Bret said he had no problem dropping the belt to Shawn. HBK's response was 'I respect that, but I'm not willing to do the same for you'. so that set the course of things to come... if Bret had stayed, there were rumours of a ladder match between them at Royal Rumble 98

+captainthrall He didn't want to drop the belt to Shawn, cause HBK told him in the locker room that he wouldn't put him over EVER. Bret would've been willing to drop the belt to everybody but Shawn Micheals at that point of time.

no one is innocent in this debacle. later on Bret admits that he 'threw a little gas on that fire too', remember what happened to wendi richer in 1985?

2 bad he couldn't sell tickets like Hogan

By that logic it's the perfect match for Shawn Michaels
