Bret Hart Appreciation Night

[FalconPunch]

How great was that? Well deserved IMO, couldn't have happened to ba better tahlete who seemed to genuinely appreciate every second of it.

It was really enjoyable. I liked seeing Lance Storm at the end, such a boss.

Watched it last night on youtube since I live in America, and the app crashes on me too much to even try to use it :laugh: but it was pretty great, I loved it and you could tell he wanted to tear up so much during it, well deserved cause Bret is top 5 of the best of all time.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Since he is such a mark for himself I am sure he enjoyed every second of it.

Wrestlign fan holds issue with self pride shocker.

Well is Bret wasn't so broken down I'm sure he'd suck his own cock so to say he's full of himself is a little bit of an understatement. He's one of the greatest and I think he deserves his own appreciation night. But if he ever wants my respect (he doesn't), then he'll leave the appreciating to us and maybe spend less time burying anyone who he views as a threat. Top 5? Ehh... Thesz, Flair, Steamboat, HBK, Savage, arguably The Rock and Austin and eventually CM Punk disagree. I only say Austin and Rock because they were so much more important to the company in their era and did more to help advance the business than Bret ever could have imagined doing, even in his wildest dreams.

1. Lou Thesz
2. Ric Flair
3. Jumbo Tsuruta
4. The Destroyer
5. Terry Funk

Personal opinion of course, but I honestly don't see HBK, Savage or Steamboat being anywhere near that list and I love those wrestlers.

Well just to name a few that exceed Hart that is. I mean we could include Kenta Kobashi, Dusty Rhodes, Verne Gagne and Harley Race to that and THEN SOME.. I was just rattling those off as examples.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

Yeah I'm still at awe that WWE has the audacity to create the belief that HBK is the best of all time when we know that is not true.

 

[Hoss]

Not the best of all time but almost single handedly responsible for keeping them competitive in the 90's... at least until Austin emerged to hold down the fort. I mean there were some folks tuning in for Hart and Diesel and Taker but without HBK the WWF may just have imploded on itself.

I love it when people in forums quote people who they probably haven't seen five matches of as being the greatest....

Well I can't speak for others but I've definitely seen more than 5 matches from the individuals I mentioned.

Me too but we are also in our mid to late 30's

Not a great way to get on Fuji or Booty's good side.

I haven't had much interaction with you at all since you arrived but it's probably best on your part not to speak on anyone's lack of wrestling savvy when you yourself do not know us or our wrestling watching pedigrees, partner. You're entitled to think that Hart is one of the best of all time and if this is you trying to defend them well I see well you're coming from... but I'd advise you stick to a more fundamental argument rather than behaving in a highly cynical manner to get your point across.
