25 Greatest Superstars In WWE Raw History
13. Bret Hart
Would Monday Night Raw have soared to unimaginable heights without Bret Hart trapped in the middle of a show he was growing to despise?
His selfless efforts elevating Stone Cold Steve Austin in 1996 and 1997 were among some of the most giving displays in company history, and only by welcoming ‘The Rattlesnake’ so resolutely to the upper echelon was he able to reassert his position at the top of the card as an incredible heel.
The most tumultuous year of his career had followed four in which he steered the ship safely despite having his captaincy constantly cuckolded by Vince McMahon’s flavours of the week. No Bret Hart match between 1993 and 1996 will disappoint, be it Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels or anybody else the company would rather have you pay attention to.
An almost comedic stint at General Manager in 2010 following his dramatic return to the organisation at the start of the year provided an unthinkably kind coda to an at-times barbaric tale. It was frankly the least he deserved.
