10 Most Notorious Bret Hart Urban Legends

8. He Ripped Out HBK's Hair During Their Fight And Jim Cornette Has The Hair

http://youtu.be/l03wbw66-yE Story: Bret Hart had a backstage fight with Shawn Michaels on June 9, 1997. That fight is well known. What's funny about it is that Bret actually ripped out a chunk of Shawn's hair and it ended up in the hands of somebody that happened to be in the area: Jim Cornette. In the story that Cornette tells, he wasn't there to see the fight. He was just told about it. After their altercation was done taking place, Cornette went to tell Vince McMahon about what happened. Shawn stormed into the room angry and he had a handful of his own hair with him. Cornette talked about how on the inside he was laughing, but he couldn't laugh in front of them. Vince left the room with Shawn. Cornette grabbed the hair, put it in a paper bag and then his ex-wife put it in a plastic bag. He has no idea where it is now because his ex-wife has it or maybe tossed it. This is an urban legend that could belong to Michaels, Cornette or Hart, but since it was Hart that did the hair ripping it's a story most associated with him. Why People Believe It: The part about the hair pulling is true. It's possible that Cornette ended up with it since he worked backstage and could have been in the room. Should We Believe It: Yes it's certainly sounds like a believable story. The image of Shawn holding his hair in his hands sounds pretty funny too. It would be interesting to know if Bret's aware that Cornette has the hair, or more specifically that Cornette's ex-wife has it.
