8 Wrestlers That Visibly Hated Working For WCW
1. Bret Hart
Bret Hart is a steadfast and meticulous individual. It's what made him the person and pro wrestler he was. It's what made his autobiography the most reliable and engaging of any wrestlers' from the boom era of legends and their books. It's what continues to make his words the most powerful when he readily chooses to share them.
But was he slightly - just slightly, so slightly - more at fault for the failure of his WCW run than he'd ideally like to let on?
The short answer is actually probably "No". Ignoring everything that happened to Bret between WWE Over The Edge '99 and his enforced retirement shortly after Starrcade 1999, Hart was middled from the off thanks to the absolute mess the company made of Hulk Hogan Vs Sting at Starrcade 1997, politically schooled by Hogan throughout much of 1998 when they were paired together in the New World Order, and ultimately left to rue the company's mistakes when the character was just another flip-flopping midcard 12 months after his debut.
As one of the regular victims of Hart's vitriol, Eric Bischoff is only too aware of where 'The Hitman' believes he was failed, but beyond attempting to simply silence the criticims, 'Easy E' has noted several times that the Bret Hart that arrived in the company was a one so damaged by the Montreal Screwjob that he couldn't be compared to WWE's 'Excellence Of Execution'.
Bell-to-bell, Hart's mostly-only-okay output might support that, but it's extremely hard to stay at the top of your game when you've never even been considered to be at it by both your boss and, crucially, the co-workers that are supposed to help you stay there.
