Tribute Tuesday: Bret The Hitman Hart

If you really appreciate wrestling and you grew up watching it, you got to witness arguably the greatest technical wrestler ever. Lost in the popularity of Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior was one Bret Hitman Hart. He started off being 1/2 of the Hart Foundation with Jim The Anvil Neidhart. They won tag team belts and became one of the most popular tag teams out there. In the early 90's Bret's ring skills allowed him to wrestle singles matches and ended up winning the Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect in Summerslam 91. All this time, it was just a prelude to what was to come of the Hitman. He defended his title against anybody. Jobber or not. He put it on the line. Until he lost it to the British Bulldog in Summerslam 92. But on a Saturday night in Canada in 1992, he upset then World Champion Ric Flair to capture the WWF Title. From then on, he just became a phenomenon. The trademark sunglasses and the rush of the pink and black attack launched Bret Hart into one of the greatest superstars of professional wrestling. Bret even parlayed his skills as a bad guy and excelled. But it wasn't until the tragic death of his brother Owen and the Montreal screwjob by Vince McMahon pushed Bret out the window. After a stint with WCW, he seemingly just walked away. Until a stroke he suffered while in Canada. After years of not speaking and hatred for Vince McMahon, they finally compromised on a deal where Bret is inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. It is much deserved for the Hitman. There are a lot of historical moments in my head about Bret Hart, but there's just too much to list. So as a tribute to the Hitman, Nutcheck Videos proudly presents some of his greatest work. Quite frankly, he is THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, and THE BEST THAT THERE EVER WILL BE!
