re: Bret Hart responds to Eric Bischoff burying him on 83 Weeks podcast

At that exact moment in time, Bret was arguably correct.

The only other names really in the discussion would be Sting, Shawn, and Austin.


Of those, Austin’s neck was fricked and he was just starting to recover from the injury while Shawn’s body was falling apart and his drug habit made him erratic and fairly unreliable.

Sting, OTOH, crashed back down to Earth the next month at Starrcade due to boneheaded booking.

Vince attempted to sue WCW because Hall and Nash before Bash at the Beach used phrases like "you know who we are" to allude to Razor and Diesel. shite, Hall still used the Razor accent.

The angle was undeniably an industry changer. However, if you want to say Bret was boring and didn't sell. Diesel's WWF world title reign was a failure as well.

You’re right - Eaton was always stuck in a tag team - wasn’t til 91 that he was finally given a singles push with the TV title. After that he went right back to teaming with Dangerous Alliance, Keirn, and Regal

Diesel's first match as WWF champion was a draw. Nash still laughs at that horrible booking.

A bright leotard and throwaway sunglasses don't make him any less dull.

Bret was a great wrestler and could carry anyone to a good match and had a passion for the business that was unmatched. He just took himself way to seriously. Like Nash said, he was his own biggest mark...

This.

Wcw didn't give him any good storylines but Bret also didn't get himself over.

Nash didn't take things seriously enough.

Bret cared about wrestling.....Nash cared about money.

Yes we know Nash cared about money. That's all he fricking talks about.

Bret didn’t get over until his profane tirade on RAW, and his anti-American heel character caught fire. He was lame as a face.
