Ranking Every Major Monday Night Wars Jump From WORST To BEST

15. Bret Hart

Bret Hart: the best wrestler on the planet, who exited the WWF in the most wild of circumstances as the most controversial and talked-about star in the game, was introduced to WCW fans as…

…a referee!

Immediately absorbed as a tertiary player into the nWo drama fans thought would come to an enthralling, euphoric end at the pay-per-view promoted as expressly that, Hart guest refereed a dire comedy match between Eric Bischoff and Larry Zbysko. He also restarted the main event, in a finish informed by the Montreal Screwjob, in which Hogan legit screwed Sting as a result of his political gamesmanship. WCW WCW’d its biggest event ever, and WCW WCW’d Bret Hart.

The question isn’t Did Hart’s no-compete clause scupper plans?

The question is Why the f*ck did WCW debut him as a referee?

WCW and Bret Hart was an unhappy marriage without the honeymoon.
