10 Wrestler Quirks You'll Never Be Able To Unsee
6. Bret Hitman The Hart
Bret Hart was the best.
'The Hitman' called himself 'The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be' and wrestled with qualities so profoundly influential that he may have been underselling himself all along. Fans that stuck around for the post-golden era WWE were retrained on what the art of wrestling actually was, mesmerised at the majesty of a master craftsman in action.
Until, sometimes, he took the microphone.
Hart was an underrated promo most of the time. His delivery wasn't always the smoothest but the message mirrored that of a sporting figure approaching his next fixture, game or challenge. It put a bow on the reality he worked tirelessly to uphold bell-to-bell. But he didn't half have a problem with articles. Not this one, hopefully, but specifically how to drop "the" into his sentences.
"The SummerSlam" is the most charming example, but after adding it for that show he'd remove it for the times he was wrestling "in Survivor Series". He's still the greatest of all time, in comparison to a Ric Flair or a Brock Lesnar, who "wasn't even on Simpsons".
