Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart Interview
The awesome folk at Front Magazine have come up trumps this month with a great interview with one of my childhood idols… Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart.
He speaks about his time in the WWF, how much Vince McMahon Sucks balls, the infamous ‘Montreal Screw Job’,Drug abuse and how he made pink tights appear manly…
He said that steroids had helped have him maintain a career in a notoriously difficult trade: “In the very beginning, I struggled to gain any recognition from my peers, and if I hadn’t taken steroids it’d have been much more difficult”.
On his brother, the legendary Owen Hart’s tragic death, Bret said he was upset the show went on: “Vince McMahon would have stopped that show in a second if it had been his son Shane that dropped”.
He spoke about the Montreal screw-job. Bret was WWF champion - but was about to leave for rival brand WCW, and during the main event of the 1997 Survivor Series pay-per-view, was forced to drop his title via a bit of dodgy refereeing, and some extreme betrayal of trust by McMahon so he wouldn’t leave with the belt: “It was like I was playing poker with Vince for years but without any cards. Then all of a sudden, I look down and i’ve got a royal flush and I put all the chips over to my side of the table. It bothered him so much that he made an example out of me”.
His current thoughts on the state of the WWE: “Noone knows how to tell a story anymore…It shouldn’t be about how big your breasts are: It should be about whether you can actually wrestle.”
About the colour of his hyper-pink outfit: “It’s not my favourite, but always been my lucky colour. I kind of thought it looked pretty cool - kind of a fresh look. The whole idea of the pink was because people laughed knowing I was a villain. The first time Vince saw those pink tights, he fell over and said, “Don’t ever change that”.
How he views his career in the WWF: I’ve always been pretty happy with my wrestling life. A lot of people might wrongly assume I have a lot of bitter memories about my career, but the truth is I had a happy and great career”.
My Top Ten Wrestling Finishers of all time
I love wrestling, after years of watching the stuff I’ve seen my fair share of amazing finishing moves, and some completely terrible ones. I love the way some finishers build up over a really long match and you know its gonna happen but it goes on for so long you don’t know who or when is going to hit it. Or the ones that just come out of no-where, sometimes they are so fast that the whole crowd is stunned.
I had a look around (YouTube is my life) and pulled out my top ten finishing moves in history. enjoy.
10. Earthquake - Squish: One half of the Natural Disasters (with equally tubby Typhoon), this move is so simple, that its awesome!
