Most people thought Marty would be the Star. Not Shawn

Bret was never a good talker. Shawn Michaels had him beat by a mile as especially as time went on. Bret he just started looking like a construction worker and always looked sad especially when he went to WCW

@tellumyort

Need to preemptively cut off anyone wanting to say Bret was unprofessional, Shawn said he would never lose to Bret which is why Bret was not willing to do the same for him. Gene clearly wasn’t aware of that considering he misremembered the screwjob as a pin.

@JazG.-po5mv

Bret > Shawn. Not close.

@TravisBrady-wn8fr

Bret stood 7 feet.. shawn weighed in at 405.

Mean Gene was wrong about 1 thing…. there was NO 3 COUNT with the Montreal Screwjob. It was a submission finish ! But other than that … great interview

Yeah it wasnt a 3 count

@DWtechfan

To all of those saying Bret wasn’t unprofessional, try giving that same lame ass excuse at your 9-5 jobs and see how that works out for you. When your boss asks you to do something, you don’t list reasons why you can’t do it. You just do it. Bret took and still takes himself way too seriously. He lost himself in thinking “The Hitman” was real and that every accomplishment was legit. He’s a legend but sadly pro wrestling doesn’t work as he thought it did. Because back in reality, telling your boss no usually ends in punishment or termination. Had Bret not been such a pain in the ass to deal with, he probably could’ve quit WCW and went back to WWE before he got hurt against Goldberg. And his career might’ve been drastically different.

There was nothing flashy or fancy about Bret He was in your face tough as a rock technical wrestler His work and wrestling moves and holds were phenomenal second to none Outside the ring did great promos and interviews he could do it all He's a walking Encyclopedia of wrestling and he learned from one of the best in the business his father the late great Stu Hart training in The Dungeon growing up in Calgary, British Columbia

I love Mean Gene. As a 90s kid, I knew him as one of the voices of WCW. Anytime he was interviewing anyone in the ring, not just the top guys like Hogan or Sting, his presence made those segments must see tv. Whether it was with main eventers, mid-card, anyone. Hell, I remember his action figure that came with a special Hollywood Hulk Hogan figure and black and white Sting figure as a special edition Starrcade box...and my 8 year old self was excited that I had a Mean Gene figure with a microphone. I hate the story of his funeral, where DDP said none of the boys attended. Mean Gene didn't need anyone to get over, but they sure as Hell needed him.
