My favorite wrestler growing up was Bret 'The Hitman' Hart.
I was actually a big Owen Hart fan, but I wasn't a Bret Hart fan at all growing up.
Bret 'the Hitman' Hart from circa, say, 1997, the U.S.-bashing Bret Hart, would have to lay a beat down on John Cena, I think.
I was a big fan of Bret Hart growing up, and Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, Triple H. I've probably drawn from them when I was younger.
When I was growing up, I remember my uncle Bret 'Hitman' Hart having his own column in the Calgary Sun. To me, this was beyond cool.
I was a big Hart Foundation guy as a kid. Bret was my favorite wrestler. I loved their dynamic.
As a kid, growing up, my heroes all had the Intercontinental Championship. Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect, Ric Rude, all of them. And they were the people I looked up to and wanted to be like.
Germany has a deep respect for the Hart family, especially Bret 'The Hitman' Hart.
I'd come from the bottom of the barrel. Just Owen Hart getting out of the shadow of Bret Hart's little brother. Everyone figured, this is a joke, Owen's going to get squashed.
'Ring of Honor' is extreme... probably one of my favorite matches I ever saw. I don't remember the name of the guys, but it was unbelievable... it was almost like Stone Cold and Bret Hart when they had their 'I Quit' match.
I loved reminiscing with my dad about his matches with the Bulldogs and his partnership with my uncle Bret Hart as the Hart Foundation.
Bret Hart, you don't really understand the business of the Pro Wrestling business. You only understand the Bret Hart business of the Pro Wrestling business, and they are two different things.
John Cena is like the 2010 version of Bret Hart. Fans see him as a real decent, upstanding human being.
If I were to pick a favorite SummerSlam match of all time, there's one iconic match that comes to mind: SummerSlam 1992, Bret Hart vs. The British Bulldog at Wembley Stadium in front of more than 80,000 people.
It concerns me when I see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. It is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. The hero just did it and it was effective. It was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. If enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. He'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. So little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.
