No. He put the title on his bigger star. That's simply business.

Yes, I would have kept the belt on Bret, The match was good,

When Hogan, had the belt then it was not good For business, that was a 💩 year, lucky Bret had the belt back, 1994, Saying that we did have king of the ring in 93, that was pretty damn good, with Bret,

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.

@@ethanporto1745 Yes and no, it’s definitely scripted, however, titles/belts work like real life work promotions. A wrestler is chosen to be champion due to his ring work, mic skills, popularity with crowd, merch sales, etc.

I know Hulk Hogan but not this guy very well haha

@Sara19988 whats your point????

I love this story. You’re so lucky.

It's really just people that are douchebags that don't like Bret. Tell me one guy that's not gonna be mad from the boss saying "you're going to get a huge cash bonus the next 7-8-9 years" and then strip it all away because some co-worker returned and get the last say in everything.

Very rare. Another example of not believing everything you hear, and what people say tell you.

@@user-fr1ys2wn4t Brett will always be mentioned when they talk about the best worker of all time. A great wrestler that got to the top on in-ring skills and match storytelling. 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.

Yeah. The only reasons people had to not like Bret was that he wasn't full of bullshit. Especially in such a business where 2/3 of the people are all full of shit.

Exactly, but after what we know now. Hogan was a bigger mark for himself. Maybe the biggest in wrestling history

Always salty

@@woody5581 I love that about him....Let's be honest, he definitely has reason to be

Quite sad to hear how Hogan acted when Bret became a well deserved champion. Even though he overplayed the anti-American Canadian thing, I wish him all the best.

Bret is always in the right in his stories, it’s amazing and definitely not the words of a narcissist.

He cared about himself

@@oscarkoop2548 don't be mistaking signals as fact. He cared about storyline and fundamentals of wrestling, making everyone look good. Rock, Austin, McMahon, Undertaker are just a few names

he could do it all. technical, street brawl, decently athletic like flying.

He was boring. He was an okay promo. Pro wrestling is about entertainment and putting butts in seats & selling merchandise. Hogan was king of that.

@@brianezell5790 Hogan was shit at wrestling and if you'd seen him actually wrestle in a ring for more than 10minutes you'd most likely ask to be put down

@@IzuKiNoUzushio Pro wrestling is not about actual wrestling. It is not about technical wrestling. How clueless can you be? Pro wrestling is about putting butts in seats, drawing huge tv ratings, drawing huge ppv buy rates, and selling merchandise. I have seen Hogan wrestle on many occasions. He is a showman and an entertainer. Anyone who sees him is not expecting lots of holds and counter holds. In Japan Hogan actually employed a more technical style. He was a very good chain wrestler. Hogan in the USA and throughout the world was the biggest star in the business throughout the 1980s. He propelled the NWO to lead WCW to win 83 consecutive weeks in the Monday Night Ratings war. Hogan is absolutely in the GOAT conversation for pro wrestling.

Not even close to the best technical wrestler of all time but a great pro wrestler hampered by a bad attitude

@@42663 Naw, he’s the best. Didn’t need to put on a bunch of high spots to entertain the fans. Matches are regarded as legendary. Bret was treated unjustly because of his integrity and respect for the business. He was in his right to be angry. Over the years, Bret has coped with the past and learned to forgive. Ego? Absolutely, but then again if you’re top 10 all time, you deserve to have an ego.

Bret and Shawn will be studied for generations

@@reginald6451 see, Shawn’s best work is his second run when he came back and decided making his opponent look foolish for little mistakes wasn’t actually making him look better. Like he even did it to his “friend” Kevin Nash. The Jackknife spot where he makes it look like an awful botch when he undoubtedly had the skill to cover for it and make it look clean. And he did this to so many people in his first run. That’s something Bret would just never do because he cared about how the match in total looked more than he cared about himself looking better than his opponent.

Exactly Bret hart was just way better!!!!

Bret was great in the ring but his personality just sucked. His promos were lousy. Hogan was a douchebag but he brought in the big money so Vince wanted him at the top. Obviously, Bret Hart was a MUCH better wrestler than Hulk Hogan but professional wrestling wasn't just about in ring work. Bret Hart had many classic matches and was one of the best in ring guys of all time.

​​​​​@@Thor-OrionPerhaps so. The issue is that HBK and Hogan are bigger draws than Bret Hart. Even if you can technically call their individual matches inferior to Bret Hart's, they were bigger draws. The average WWF/WWE fan cannot go about the technicalities of what makes a "good" wrestling match. Especially not in the "is wrestling is real or fake?" era. Most fans also would not have understood a "botch," they'd just notice something odd happened during a battle, then ignore it.

because he is bitter and thinks it was real and he was really the best therefore deserved to be champion lol if he really believed that why didnt he shoot and stretch yoko and hulk lol cuz hes a coward

Someone can't understand the difference between the truth and giving his thoughts. Well done

He has no gain to lie..Brett's a standup guy whose sharing fact

@@howardt1317 what facts exactly?

He’d have walked back into WWE in 2001/2002 if he hadn’t been cabbaged by Goldberg , and that’s literally the difference, he’s really hard to listen to you can tell he gets stiff about beating people over earning money so that kind of makes him a mark cuz he believed the wins and losses were everything over all

This! Can you imagine? Those two apparently had insane chemistry together, they would have given us a classic for the ages.

Wrestlemania 9 was so bad. The opening match with Michaels and Tatanka was probably the best match on the card. If not, The Steiners and Headshrinkers.

Yeah and I would’ve had hogan in a program with yokozuna. Hogan overthrowing yokozuna would’ve been a second coming to Hogan vs Andre.

Dude that would’ve been fucking phenomenal. Between Macho’s neurotic planning of the match, and his dedication to give the fans their money’s worth and Hart’s dedication to the business, that would’ve been an absolute classic. There is no way that those two Superstars would’ve just gone out there and phoned it in. It would’ve been an instant classic, guaranteed.

Actually Bret is the perfect example of being too nice. They knew they could mess him around and get away with it until the end. They did it with Hogan and then again with Micheals.

No, wrestling is fake, a work, and this guy treated it like it was serious. Total anti-thesis of the business, believes his own hype. And even then he wasn’t good enough to carry the company. He didn’t have the personality for it or the charisma

It's a cutthroat business. Always has been. In reality Hogan was just protecting himself and his #1 spot.

Hall and Nash could t have been that mad at Hogan they all became friends in WCW a nd formed the nwo

Ha..his promos sucked!

His promos made sense for HIM, he showed anger when he had to but was low-tone mostly cause his character fit it, yeah hes not Flair, Dusty, Piper, Austin, Rock, Jake, Arn, but that’s the upper upper echelon. I dont know his promos were fine to me

@@JohnnyDouchbag-nr5yf Yes, promos were the weakest part of his game. He even admits Piper told him he was a great technical wrestler, but he needed to be a good talker to draw. It has to be close to 50/50 anyway. Bret was a little lacking on the mic. Got a bit better later, but not quite there.

His promos were not his strong point. He admitted that himself in an interview

Its true though

You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below - but here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make this easy Hulk Hogan: Mix up the -steroids- vitamins and prayers and pour it into the orange meatsack. Bake at 425 degrees F for about 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees F until the Hulkamania is set.

He's not wrong. Hogan is a phenomenal showman with massive star quality. He's always looked after no.1 however, and also at the expense of anyone in his way. It's not the way I'd behave but I doubt he has any regrets. Hogan made it to the top and made sure he stayed there.

@@xziggy_stardustx6786 you aren't wrong at all, but the problem is he's a selfish, egotistical sociopath. He's stepped on others to get his way, he's gone behind his "friends" back many times, he lies about literally EVERYTHING, he's racist & the biggest one, he was never a good wrestler. As a matter of fact, take away his giant persona & he's a midcard at best.

@@daddynanners3944 I agree 100%. He was marketable so Vince promoted him and laughed all the way to the bank.

aka get it in writing, any time Vince got screwed by a wrestler it was because he took them at their word

Or if he would have passed out and lost, then afterward, Hogan hobbles up, shakes Bret Hart's hand, and walks off into the sunset (i.e. WCW)... and Lex Luger stays "The Narcissist" instead of a Great Value Hogan, which would have given Hart a couple of top-notch villains in him and Yokozuna who would have gunned for his title. Better yet, Wrestlemania 9 should have been Hart v. Hogan!

I have always agreed with this statement

Harley Race, HBK, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, and Owen are in same class as Bret Hart..but I agree from 1992 to 1997 Bret was the guy.

Bruh Bret legit told Shawn he would put him over with no problem and Shawn was an asshole about it and disrespected him instead. Do you even know what you’re talking about?? Clearly not

Exactly.

Hmm was it maybe because Bret was a total failure? Was it maybe because his first run as Champion made him the worst drawing WWF Champion in History (and would remain so until 2001)? Was it maybe because in 1994 he got outdrawn by the Undertaker and the B-Squad on the House Shows? 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?

And his stories never alter in detail, unlike Hogan. Bret will tell you what he thinks, or what he thought at the time.

​@@AlbertonBeastmasternot true at all

Every single wrestler has these stories. Except hulk hogan. He was the biggest draw and took full advantage of it. He earned his dues like everyone else. But once his career took off. He used that leverage all the time.

With everything the WWF and Vince did to him and his family I’d say he has every right to be salty, if that’s how people think he’s coming across. To me he’s just chill and speaking his opinion

People can like Bret and at the same time think the man is his own worst enemy.

Even defended him making more money than him , a class act

All those old school guys did. Including Brett

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.

Hogan: I didn't use steroids. Reality: He lied. He jumped on the NWO bandwagon(Hall & Nash) to stay relevant. If you look, back with open eyes, he wasn't all that

I think he's autistic he acts like wwf is the ufc he talks like he won legit fights to win the titles 😂

😂😂🤣💀

LOL. That makes him a mark for himself. I imagine him giving his wife the thumbs up while on the phone with Vince, "we're gettin my belt back baby"!! What a bum.

​@@JC-jl5tjIf Bret is a mark for himself its because he knew where he stood in the grand scheme. Hogan was a mark for himself 10 times more but his time had come and gone.

@@jordan_8329hogans time had come and gone? Did you miss the whole Hollywood Hogan run?
