No disrespect to him, but I very much doubt he'll be the best there ever will be...

Manurewa_Marlins said:Stone Cold/Hitman matches were some of the best Ive ever seen, and even show Austin possessing some technical ability. Bret could bring anyone up to his level.
Big_Bad_Shark_Fan said:brets mic skills were no where near the best of all time whcih is osmthing which makes a good wrestler
the only time i thought bret was good was when the usa\canada war went on

Big_Bad_Shark_Fan said:pretty much what the above said
bret was a great wrestler but to compare him as an entertainer with the mic like the rock, hbk , austin , hulk hogan - all though one dimensional etc is stupid
Big_Bad_Shark_Fan said:And how is that?
You dont even back up your comments.
I said Bret wasnt as good on the microphone as some of the others, and I really only thought his interviews were great during the Canada\USA War.
Show me another one which was great. Im not saying he was bad but far from the best with the microphone.
I mean just some of his calls such as calling Jerry The King Lawler "A Burger King" didnt really get me going.
Im not doubting him as a wrestler, hes my favourite of all time with his nemesis Michaels.

no i was implying they were better entertainers with the mic and id much rather watch alot of other wrestlers cut a promo than him. I watched a few of Harts old promos last week , one where he quit WWF and it really wasnt that exciting.

Bret is the most complete wrestler of all time, to be honest, anyone who says he has no mike skills is a fool. Watch his dvd that is coming out and try telling me he has no mike skills. He sold and promoted his opponents and matches perfectly and was especially good on the mic has a heel.
He was Canada's most popular sportsmen for a few years running and still is a national hero rated right up there with Wayne Gretzky (sp)
Personally, although Austin will always be my favourite wrestler because you watch wrestling to be entertained and by god did he entertain, Bret Hart truly is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
I jus think he oozed Charisma, Flair, confidence and Passion in what he spent 21 years of his life doing.
I'd pay $500 to see Angle Vs The Hitman.
What are we basing this on? In ring? Promos? Money drawn? Total package? etc.Red and Blue Knight said:Yes he damn will be. No one, including Angle is even close to what Bret Hart was in his prime.

chriswalkerbush said:My God, I've been reading this thread and laughing. Bret Hart was tremendous, but a better in ring worker than Angle? A better promo cutter than The Rock? More money drawn than Austin or Hogan? Sweet Jesus, you make him out to be as good as he claimed he was - which was not the case.
He might have been a better combination worker than a great many, but there's no debating that the likes of Benoit are easily the best in ring workers ever.
Bret Hart was tremendously talented but he was far from the greatest of all time.
If we're looking for a total package, I'd put Angle above him. He's a tremendous in ring worker, knows how to work the psychology of a match, cuts freakish promos, can build a feud with virtually anyone, and has still got more to offer.
The only real difference between Hart and Angle is the era they were in. Bret Hart had the fortune to be around during a time when wrestling was king. Nowadays wrestling is a passing fancy for a lot of people, and most look back at the Attitude Era with fondness as if it could do no wrong. Then you add the hype following the Montral Screwjob, and Bret's been turned into something bigger than he ever was.
If the roles were reversed, I daresay there'd be a thread about Angle being supreme and modernists arguing that Hart is better. It's like old men at a pub telling you how much better the old days were. *Everything* was better when you were younger and less cynical - wrestling especially.
