10 Wrestlers Who Seriously Started To Believe Their Own Hype

4. Bret Hart

For millions of longtime wrestling fans, Bret 'Hitman' Hart is one of the shining examples of everything that is right with the industry. An uninspiring stint in WCW aside, Hart had one of the absolute best careers a performer could have, with the obvious black mark being the infamous 'Montreal Screwjob'. Working well with pretty much everybody he stepped foot inside a wrestling ring with, the Canadian rightly was elevated to the main event scene in the early-90's, and never really looked back. A hard-hitting, water tight in-ring style appealed to many, and it cannot be denied that Bret Hart became a hero to millions. That's all well and good, and the man should be proud of accomplishments, but to hear him speak about his 'hero' status can often be fairly embarrassing. A lot of peers have expressed their thoughts that Bret can take some things a little too seriously, and that includes his image. Reading his autobiography is a fascinating experience, but some find the man's constant reaffirmation that he's important to people quite hard to stomach.
