Bret Hart was a hero. Bret Hart's work was so incredible on a magic, intuitive level that you could sense he was the best professional wrestler before you even developed secondhand knowledge of what the criteria is. The Excellence of Execution moniker wasn't just a gimmick; Bret's technique and footwork was so good that he simply moved like a professional wrestler should move. Everybody else not named Bret Hart moved funny in some way.

His match with Mr. McMahon at WrestleMania XXVI however was a relentlessly bleak experience cathartic only for Hart himself. The man was an artist in a sports entertainment world, with actual standards and principles, and he slightly undermined his legacy in what more closely resembled a felonious assault than a worked pro wrestling match.

He couldn't bump because his insurance policy forbade him from bumping. He could drop to his knees, but that was about it; otherwise, he just battered McMahon with a tire iron. At least f*ck him up with something that makes a pleasing sound, Jesus.

Somehow, Bret couldn't even do a cursed one-sided annihilation correctly.
