I liked Bret as a kid because he always stood up for what was right, but he didn't shove it down your throat like Hulk Hogan. Plus, the Sharpshooter, the theme song, and his matches were all super bad ass. Even when I played with the action figures, Bret would hardly ever lose unless ten or twelve people ran in.

Bret was a good entertainer for a good while but was DEFINITELY surpassed by his brother Owen in the ring AND on the mic... Owen had a LOT of career left in him... He's not anywhere near the league or was a pioneer like HBK... Not once in Brets career did he reinvent himself... He turned heel/face pretty damn good though... The screwjob sucks but you can't let the past rule your life, but who says most of this isn't media hype... I don't know the guy either...

Bret is phenomenal. All around. I've always been upset I never grew up on him.

How are you gonna ban me from polling, thats about all I have going for me The reason I put those choices was because I didnt wanna make it 15 diffrent poll options and if you didnt care for Bret you could still vote.

I loved that whole heel Hart Foundation vs USofA angle back then.
Can't really say why Bret appealed to me, it's like trying to explain why a certain colour is your favorite, you just like it. But I always liked Bret's music, the sharpshooter, his matches, the pink/black colour scheme worked well (Hart Foundation was the only reason to like pink as a kid, lol). Later on in my teen years, I liked the Hart family history (thought it was pretty cool with Stu and the dungeon, etc), and the Canada vs USA angle. |

Bret very much appealed to me. I started watching wrestling right around the time Hogan left WWE, and Bret was starting to get another push. I just latched onto the guy. His ring work was always crisp. His back breaker, side Russian leg sweep, all had this "pop" to them. Also, I find it odd, but I've always loved the way he left his feet and threw himself back when doing a standing vertical suplex.
Also, when he went heel, I still cheered him. I loved Austin during his push going to Mania, but I HATED him and HBK for beating the piss out of Bret every chance they got. Also, one of the greatest themes ever. |

In all honesty....what was the point of the poll in this thread....considering the options to vote for don't pertain as to a reason in particular as to what exactly you did or did not like about bret.

The only stroke Jarrett has got is the one Karen Angle is putting on his Solo Guitar....

Part of it was the cool ass sunglasses.
Part of it was the technical expertise. Part of it was his stoic demeanor. And his first World Title reign was great because of how it was set up: Him as a fighting champion taking on all comers. A booking cliche'? Of course. But it's a cliche' because it works. Hulk was the larger than life superhero. Bret was more the everyman having to compensate for his lack of size with his intelligence. |

I always enjoyed this segment,
I really dunno if anyones come off with a more convincing out of character rant, it sounded and looked very real at the time. Also sid coming out saying "i dont know shit crybaby" had me laughing my ass off. |

Bret was just awesome in every way as a wrestler and overall performer. Very underrated on the microphone in my opinion. The matches he had with Mr. Perfect were some of my all time favorites.

You are not a comical person Zach. Know this and stop these attempts to be one.
He was the most belivable guy to me, He seemed real in promo's, his ring work was very realistic. I don't really care about a huge arsenal of menouvers and holds, as long as what you do looks real. How many matches these days are more like a dancing with the stars routine than a wrestling match? |

I would be willing to bet I am smarter than you are funny.
I don't think there is accurate comparitive testing to back up such a statement, but I know it's true, you know it's true... and most of all, Schlomey knows it's true. |
