4 Best And Worst Moments Of Bret Hart's WCW Career

By Douglas Scarpa /

Bret €œThe Hitman€ Hart is one of the most celebrated superstars of all time. In his own words, he€™s €œthe best there is, the best there was, and the best that there ever will.€ And it€™s hard to argue with that sentiment when looking back on his accomplishments throughout his career. The Hitman was a triple crown winner in WWE, meaning he held the company€™s three major championships -- the World, Intercontinental, and Tag Team titles. Beyond that, he held the then-WWF€™s top prize on five different occasions. However, as is common knowledge in the wrestling world, Bret€™s illustrious career with the Federation came to a bitter end at the 1997 Survivor Series. The Excellence of Execution was leaving his home turf in the so-called North to head down South to Ted Turner€™s World Championship Wrestling. It was a major coup for WCW and its President, Eric Bischoff. However, the Hitman€™s career suffered due to WCW€™s near-constant mismanagement, before coming to an abrupt end only a few years later. When interviewed for a special edition of WWE Magazine, focusing on his career, in 2005, Bret Hart had the following to say about that southern promotion: €œIt was a company that never had a clue, from the day I walked in to the day I walked out. There was no rhyme or reason to anything anybody was doing€ It was everything that could possibly be wrong with a wrestling company, with the exception of one thing: they paid well€ WCW, unfortunately, never had any real leadership€ I hate to say it, but they didn€™t know a good idea from a bad idea, and they had way too many Indians and no chiefs.€ Despite his tumultuous and disappointing run in WCW, there were some shining achievements to be had. In the following pages, we take a look back at some of the Hitman€™s greatest moments and some of his worst.
