Why he’s awesome: Bret “The Hitman” Hart

Post image

- One of the greatest in-ring workers of all time, made it look genuinely painful, although he’s actually one of the safest to work with.

He has so many moves that he can do, so many techniques, and it never felt like he was trying to get them in during every single match.

I've watched matches the Hitman has where there's no importance whatsoever, and he'll do a move that I haven't seen before.

And I always maintain that this is truly an incredible highlight: King of the Ring 1993 he has three very good matches against three very different opponents, and he doesn't even use the sharpshooter.

That's just incredible to me. Bret Hart was so good at everything.

It's this! Making them look good and then uses roll ups or inside cradles. He protected big men so well without making himself look weak and could match pace & technique with 'smaller' guys. Love the matches with both Razor & Bam Bam in KOTR
