How Good of a Wrestler Were They Really? #1 BRET HART

Awwww man, I just cottoned on to these threads today when I clocked the Booker T one and I’m gutted to have missed this one about my absolute favourite pro grappler of all time.

Met the man a couple of years ago and had a good, 10 minute long chat. Hit him with my trademark wrestling hot take, which is that his 1995 In Your House match with Davey was far superior to their SummerSlam affair, but he was having none of it. Basically told me to fuck off. He’s wrong but I still love him.

Paid £70 a few weeks ago for a signed (pink marker pen, natch) Bret Funko Pop. I’m 38 years old and I regret nothing.

haha love it. I can relate. I went to a similar meet and greet 3 or 4 years ago. Brought my pink shades from 1994 to get them signed. He was surprised I still had the originals. He remembered that he’d had a match with Owen at the show I got them at and it was just after Wrestlemania 10.

For what it’s worth, I prefer the IYH match, too.
