Every Time Wrestling Appeared On The Simpsons Ranked
1. Bret Hart And His Old Man Stink
No reference to wrestling in Simpsons history is more obvious than when Bret 'The Hitman' Hart himself made a celebrity cameo on the show.
During Season 8 epsiode "The Old Man And The Lisa", Mr Burns is forced to sell his mansion due to losing his fortune. Who turns up to buy the place, but 'The Excellence of Execution' Bret Hart. Even dressed in his iconic pink and black bodysuit, paired with those pink reflector shades, the animators nailed his look. Hart, voicing the character, exclaimed disgustedly "This place has old man stink!".
The real estate agent even managed to fit in a jab at 'The Hitman's' profession by claiming "A Pro Wrestler such as yourself would appreciate the large amount of closet space." and to really secure the sell she even claims that 3 doors down lives a fellow wrestler 'The Shrieking Sheik'. Bret had heard enough and definitively says "I'll take it!" And for another 10 minutes of bliss, Bret Hart was a member of the Springfield Population. After this episode, he was never to be seen again.
Probably just ran off to Shelbyville after he was screwed over, I don't know.
