10 Wrestlers That Could Get A Good Match Out Of ANYONE
7. Bret Hart
Bret Hart lived his gimmick long after he even retired.
He's always made sure to put himself over as one of the finest ring generals in the history of the industry to anybody that asked (and plenty that didn't), but if you were the 'Best There Is, Best There Was and Best There Ever Will Be', wouldn't you too?
His arguments aren't without merit. 'The Hitman' never injured an opponent in the ring, despite his matches always ranking amongst the most physical on any card he worked. He was a gifted technician - a fusion wrestler that meshed the art of Sports Entertainment with the narrative of a sporting contest, and a vital cog in Vince McMahon's machine until he aged past the point of usefulness to the careless Chairmen.
The Attitude Era wasn't a time suited to Bret's personality, but his style would have anchored matches that completely fell apart in his absence. Missing on every show was a safely sensational effort, such was the robust consistency of Hart. Even as late as September 1997 when Shawn Michaels had stolen his heel position and main event place on the card (exactly as he forecasted on seminal documentary Wrestling With Shadows), WWE Champion Bret was making the best of a bad situation with The Patriot on b-show Ground Zero: In Your House.
Hart wasn't just an old dog McMahon took out back and shot in November 1997, he was a carthorse.
