8 Important Wrestling Events That Happened When Great Balls Of Fire Was Released
4. Bret Hart Was Born
That’s
right, The Hitman turns 60 years old on 2 July.
For fans who only know Hart because of the Montreal Screwjob and critiques of current wrestlers, they’re missing out on the legacy of one of the greatest storytellers in the genre. As part of the Hart Foundation, he and Jim Neidhart (along with Jimmy Hart) redefined tag team wrestling in WWE.
He would go on to become the
WWE Champion, leading the New Generation of the 1990s with an emphasis on athleticism
and technical wrestling rather than the brawling and showmanship of the
generation before. One of the industry's all-time greats.
