Bret was always one of my favourites. Yeah as I look back now, watching 24/7 I agree he wasn't great on the mic, but still by comparison to many of the people in the WWE from the time he started even up to the time he finished he was definatly up there as one of the best workers. Bret Hart may not have been a top drawing champion, but neither was anyone else until Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Austin will tell you Bret was one of the best people to work with in the ring. To say Bret can't sell? What matches were you watching? Bret made everyone, and I mean everyone he stepped into the ring with, look like a million bucks and that includes Kevin Nash. If it wasn't for some of there big PPV matches, Kevin Nash would have never been the hot draw in WCW that he was, and Kevin Nash was the lowest drawing WWE Champion in the history of the company. I'm not denying that Ric Flair is better on the mic, but a lot of things Flair accuses Bret of, Flair is guilty of too. But when it comes right down to it, I do agree that Bret because a bitter man in the final year to two years of his WWE career. And he didn't do the right thing for business (ie the Monteal incident). Bret knew he was leaving, it was his last PPV with the company, the right thing to do would have been to drop the title. Bret just was so pig headed he couldn't see what the right thing to do was. Vince screwed Bret. HBK screwed Bret, but Bret also screwed Bret. By refusing to lose, he set himself up for it. Deep down he had to know that Vince was not going to let him leave Montreal with the title. So I will agree that Bret Hart had some negative qualities, and that he certainly was not the best of all time. But he was no where near the low skill status that you placed apon him. As someone else said, he had some of the greatest matches in the history of the WWE. No one, not even your precious Ric Flair denys that. Ric Flair once said one of his favourite Wrestlemania matches of all time was Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels in the Iron Man Match. Name one Wrestling match at a Wrestlemania that was better? You probably can't.
