This is shortly before the Montreal Screwjob, when the Hart Foundation was feuding with The Patriot and Vader (Gee, I wonder who's gonna win this feud :roll:) Anyways, what about "The Excellence of Execution" appealed to you, if he did? I think besides being one of the greatest technicians of all time, what I liked about him was that he didnt have to try that hard to make people love or hate him. He could deliver great promos without having to be all spastic or run around screaming. So if you are a fan of the Hitman, what about him appealed to you?

I liked the part where he screwed himself.

I liked that he was the fucking man

started watching in late 1995 so i saw bret drop his title,get outshone by steve austin at wrestlemania and then spend 10 years bitching about a far better wrestler named shawn michaels.so to answer your question...nothing

Great, here we go again.

He was just fun to watch, don't care about who was this or who did that. Bret was the most fun to watch when I started watching and continued to be up until he retired.

I was always a fan of his wrestling. I always thought everything he did was perfect. He was ver technical with his style and he was good with promos too. He is one of the guys where I can pop in any match of his and enjoy it. There are not too many wrestlers i can say that with.

Oh ffs, another bret hart thread.

i liked bret but i thought that owen was the better wrestler, me and my friends always preferred owens more athletic style of wrestling

Also this.

love his wrestling style, mannerisms, entrance theme, his attire. just awesome

This

A decade of moaning or not, it just doesn't matter when a guy can consistently put over the crappiest of wrestlers and make them look phenomenal in the ring. I've never seen a bad Bret Hart match.

<font color=goldenrod>I didn't start watching until mid 1998. Bret was not the Bret that I came to know through old WWF videos. So, I went with he didn't appeal to me. Because when he was still actively competing and I was watching, he didn't.</font>

Regardless of the personal decisions that Bret made, no one can dispute this.

On top of that, what an awesome promo he cut in that vid. :y:

I enjoyed his charisma and what he brought to the ring

I was a huge fan of Bret's growing up.

my mind was blown watching his matches with Mr. Perfect and Davey Boy. He made matches with the Warlord and the Barbarian watchable. My personal favorite spots against the hosses were his bear hug escape. You would believe he was in a dire situation because Bret Hart, one of the best technical wrestlers in the world, would bite and eye gouge his way out of the bear hug.

His theme song.

What about Bret Hart appealed to you?
He appealed to me

What?

never liked him...met him once and he was a total douche

I'm sure Randy Orton would be a real peach.

Just something about him and the way he portrayed himself always made totally intrigued by his character and whatever he was doing on the shows.
I found he had this amazing way of making stories seem realisitc. I think he was better than anybody at that. And that's what I really enjoy. Just look at his feuds, and most all of them were so intense, you could easily forget that this was all scripted. He was great on the mic at accomplising that too.

The way he executed every move was impressive. He showed so much precision and such perfect timing. He just had this energy that made him just shine in my eyes. The promos were also great. As far as his bitching about HBK, etc. I don't really care. I don't know Bret personally so I won't make personal assumptions about how he lives his life and what he wants to bitch about. I am judging him for what I know about him..his wrestling.

At the time I think the big reason I liked him was since he was very much an underdog and used real wrestling to take his opponents down. Back in those days it was always the strong guys that would always get over but with him that wasn't the case. He did what most heels would do and that is outsmart them but of course he wasn't dirty though.

His entrance music and the Sharpshooter. I clapped and stomped my feet like a retard whenever any of these two happened.

actually Orton and Dibiase Jr are cool dudes that are scripted as heels...Brett was a douche who was scripted as a good guy...nice try though

He took a shit in a co-worker's bag.

Let me know when Bret starts prank shitting and I'll retract my statement.

I'm not defending Bret, but it's pretty obvious that Orton's a dick. Shitting in a bag was just an example. He's generally known for being a sub par individual.

:lol:

*grabs a newspaper and goes to look for HBPunk's bag*

:shifty:

I didn't initiate the conversation sunshine. And actually yes, if you were to shit in toilets opposed to shitting on others belongings, I would find you a nicer person. :y:

The guy's username is based on Randy Orton who has a long history of being a dick. It's pretty simple.

I was originally talking to legendkillerRKO. Come on.

See?

In all honesty I can't put my finger on why I liked Bret. I'm not gonna say it was his technical ability cos I'm pretty sure that didn't cross my mind as a mark when I first got into wrestling.

It might have been that he was more like an average guy compared to the Hogan's and Warrior's of that era, but once again, I doubt that crossed my mind at the time.
