Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:02,970
The pink and
black attack.
2
00:00:02,970 --> 00:00:04,004
Here it comes.
3
00:00:05,272 --> 00:00:06,907
No superstar
epitomizes excellence and
4
00:00:06,907 --> 00:00:09,743
Sports Entertainment
quite like Bret Hart.
5
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:12,012
The Excellence
of Execution.
6
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:14,381
The Hitman's
illustrious career ranks among
7
00:00:14,381 --> 00:00:18,418
the most prolific and iconic in
WWE history.
8
00:00:18,418 --> 00:00:22,589
I've dedicated my
whole life to become the best.
9
00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:24,825
The technical
mastery inside the squared
10
00:00:24,825 --> 00:00:27,194
circle combined with a
rock-solid connection
11
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:28,629
with the WWE universe-
12
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:31,098
Thank you,
Bret.
13
00:00:31,098 --> 00:00:32,866
Bret Hart truly
was the best there is,
14
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:34,468
the best there was.
15
00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:35,736
The best there ever
will be.
16
00:00:36,303 --> 00:00:37,838
Today, we look
back at the very best,
17
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:39,273
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
18
00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:41,408
Go get him, champ.
19
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:45,279
This is WWE's
Greatest Moments.
20
00:00:47,781 --> 00:00:48,749
If you smell--
21
00:00:48,749 --> 00:00:49,449
Oh, my God.
22
00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:51,184
What the hell are you doing?
23
00:00:51,618 --> 00:00:52,920
Absolutely
unbelievable.
24
00:00:54,021 --> 00:00:55,589
Hulkamania is
here.
25
00:01:02,462 --> 00:01:03,230
Welcome,
everyone,
26
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:04,798
to WWE's Greatest Moments.
27
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:06,900
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition we're looking
28
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,737
{\an8}at the very best of Bret
"The Hitman" Hart.
29
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:13,407
Bret's career kick-started up
north in Calgary, Alberta,
30
00:01:13,407 --> 00:01:16,576
Canada, inside the famous Hart
Dungeon, learning the ways
31
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:18,512
of professional wrestling
from his father,
32
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:20,347
the legendary Stu Hart.
33
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:23,116
{\an8}Bret soon found fame in his
father's promotion,
34
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:26,053
{\an8}Stampede Wrestling, alongside
his brothers-in-law,
35
00:01:26,053 --> 00:01:30,590
Jim "The Anvil"
Neidhart and Davey Boy Smith,
36
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:31,959
as well as Davey's
cousin, The Dynamite Kid.
37
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:35,262
In 1985, these four athletes
made the jump to WWE,
38
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:40,033
{\an8}as Bret teamed with The Anvil to
form the Hart Foundation.
39
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:42,736
{\an8}Davey Boy and Dynamite Kid
became the team known
40
00:01:42,736 --> 00:01:44,304
{\an8}as the British Bulldogs.
41
00:01:44,304 --> 00:01:46,039
The Bulldogs, you're
in trouble.
42
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:47,941
You're running against The Anvil
and The Hitman.
43
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:49,776
Finally, poised
for the spotlight,
44
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,646
this was their chance to show
off for the world.
45
00:01:56,416 --> 00:01:57,384
{\an8}British
Bulldogs,
46
00:01:57,384 --> 00:01:59,753
{\an8}Dynamite Kid and
Davey Boy Smith.
47
00:01:59,753 --> 00:02:00,954
{\an8}What a combo.
48
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:02,656
This is a true test for them.
49
00:02:02,656 --> 00:02:04,391
{\an8}I think it's fair to
say that the Hart Foundation
50
00:02:04,391 --> 00:02:06,393
{\an8}gave the Bulldogs their greatest
matches.
51
00:02:06,393 --> 00:02:09,529
We're doing things that most tag
teams could never do.
52
00:02:09,529 --> 00:02:11,665
Such a high
crossbody.
53
00:02:11,665 --> 00:02:13,500
{\an8}They had
different skill sets.
54
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,502
They had different styles, but
there was always something about
55
00:02:15,502 --> 00:02:16,903
Bret and the way he moved.
56
00:02:16,903 --> 00:02:19,239
He had a very different type of
charisma.
57
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:20,974
Tag team
specialists.
58
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,142
Quite a good
team they are, the Harts.
59
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:24,745
{\an8}Bret was the
Porsche, my dad was the tank.
60
00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:26,480
They complemented each other so
well.
61
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,015
There goes the
speedster, look at him go,
62
00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:29,149
a hundred miles an hour.
63
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:30,217
Look at this action.
64
00:02:30,217 --> 00:02:31,551
Uh-oh, look out.
65
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:32,352
Slingshot.
66
00:02:32,352 --> 00:02:33,020
Wow.
67
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:34,288
Whoa.
68
00:02:34,288 --> 00:02:35,188
There was some
sort of quiet unspoken charisma
69
00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:37,457
that Bret just oozed.
70
00:02:37,457 --> 00:02:39,226
Suplex from
the top turnbuckle.
71
00:02:39,226 --> 00:02:40,394
Oh.
72
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:44,431
He dragged his
own man and put him on top.
73
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:46,266
No, he got him.
74
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:48,068
The Hart Foundation
took off
75
00:02:48,068 --> 00:02:49,236
because they had such
great chemistry.
76
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:55,942
But in 1987, the
Hart Foundation had firmly
77
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:58,845
established themselves as top
stars in the WWE
78
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:00,614
tag team division.
79
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:01,515
We're the best there
was, the best-
80
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:02,616
Number one.
81
00:03:02,616 --> 00:03:03,750
there is, the best
there ever will be.
82
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:04,952
But Bret also had
his eye on chasing
83
00:03:04,952 --> 00:03:06,219
singles competition.
84
00:03:06,353 --> 00:03:08,622
The Hitman would eventually get
his big break against one of the
85
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:13,627
biggest superstars in WWE, "The
Macho Man" Randy Savage.
86
00:03:14,094 --> 00:03:18,432
You're not nobody
until you beat somebody.
87
00:03:18,432 --> 00:03:19,866
And in front of a
nationally televised audience
88
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:22,736
at Saturday Night's Main Event,
Bret Hart looked to secure
89
00:03:22,736 --> 00:03:25,806
the largest victory of his WWE
career.
90
00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:31,411
{\an8}This is going to
be a sensational matchup,
91
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:34,381
{\an8}The Hitman squaring off
against the Macho Man.
92
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:36,183
You know, it's
Saturday Night Main Event.
93
00:03:36,183 --> 00:03:37,551
We really got excited about it.
94
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:39,453
Randy was really excited about
working with me.
95
00:03:39,453 --> 00:03:40,420
Bret Hart.
96
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:41,622
Oh, my.
97
00:03:41,622 --> 00:03:44,024
Macho was kind of
a polar opposite.
98
00:03:44,024 --> 00:03:46,393
Bret was a fairly dry technical
wrestler.
99
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:49,896
{\an8}Macho, on the other hand,
brought a certain showbiz
100
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:50,897
to the game.
101
00:03:51,031 --> 00:03:52,165
Macho Man on the
top rope,
102
00:03:52,299 --> 00:03:53,734
running the ladder there,
pointing down to Bret Hart.
103
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:55,936
I just loved working
with Randy.
104
00:03:55,936 --> 00:03:58,872
That he was high octane spitfire
out there.
105
00:03:58,872 --> 00:04:01,742
You know, this guy was gonna
really, uh, tear up the track.
106
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:03,310
Macho Man's got
a tough opponent here,
107
00:04:03,310 --> 00:04:06,680
because Bret Hart, I believe,
can match him hold for hold.
108
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,715
The guy's a mechanic in that
ring.
109
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:10,584
Bret was more
of a technician, and I remember
110
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:12,953
that being one of the best
matches on the entire card,
111
00:04:12,953 --> 00:04:14,621
if not the match that stole the
show.
112
00:04:15,155 --> 00:04:16,590
Randy Savage on
the edge.
113
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:17,824
Suplex?
114
00:04:17,824 --> 00:04:18,959
No, a slam coming up.
115
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,294
What?
116
00:04:20,294 --> 00:04:21,028
Cradle.
117
00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:21,995
Leg is hooked.
118
00:04:21,995 --> 00:04:22,863
Two, yeah.
119
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:23,363
I don't believe
it.
120
00:04:24,998 --> 00:04:25,866
I can't believe
it,
121
00:04:25,866 --> 00:04:26,466
that "Macho Man" Savage won
this.
122
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:27,567
Oh, that's unbelievable.
123
00:04:27,668 --> 00:04:28,669
{\an8}I think that was
the coming out party.
124
00:04:28,669 --> 00:04:30,103
{\an8}You knew that he was going to be
great,
125
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:33,106
{\an8}and you saw him take the
next step, and a huge step,
126
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:37,511
towards what would be a
Hall-of-Fame caliber career.
127
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:42,783
Throughout the
1990s,
128
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:45,152
Bret Hart had become a certified
main event caliber superstar,
129
00:04:45,152 --> 00:04:48,021
winning multiple
WWE championships
130
00:04:48,021 --> 00:04:50,357
and quickly assuming a position
as one
131
00:04:50,357 --> 00:04:52,192
of Sports Entertainment's top
talents.
132
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:54,595
I earned being an
Intercontinental Champion.
133
00:04:54,595 --> 00:04:57,931
I earned being a World Wrestling-- Champion.
134
00:04:57,931 --> 00:05:00,567
But in 1996, a
newcomer looked to take Hart's
135
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:04,604
spot, the brash and brazen
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
136
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:08,775
If you put the
letter S in front of Hitman,
137
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:11,411
you've had my exact opinion of
Bret Hart.
138
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:12,913
Never one to back
down from a challenge,
139
00:05:12,913 --> 00:05:16,183
The Hitman took on the Texas
Rattlesnake at Survivor Series
140
00:05:16,183 --> 00:05:20,320
in what would become a clash for
the ages.
141
00:05:24,057 --> 00:05:25,859
{\an8}If you like
Holyfield and Tyson,
142
00:05:25,859 --> 00:05:28,028
{\an8}you're gonna love this.
143
00:05:28,462 --> 00:05:29,496
{\an8}My first
high-profile match
144
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:31,098
{\an8}was with Bret
"The Hitman" Hart.
145
00:05:31,098 --> 00:05:33,900
Uh-oh, slugfest
here developing.
146
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:35,335
I'd taken six months
off.
147
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:37,704
When I came back, I wanted to
come back and wrestle
148
00:05:37,704 --> 00:05:39,072
the best wrestler
in the company.
149
00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:41,375
That was a hard thing for me to
pull off.
150
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:43,777
How much ring rust
does Bret Hart possess?
151
00:05:43,777 --> 00:05:46,980
How long will it take for Bret
to get in that groove?
152
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:49,449
I can't believe
Bret Hart's on his feet.
153
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:51,652
{\an8}The two of them
brought out the very best
154
00:05:51,652 --> 00:05:53,120
{\an8}in each other.
155
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,787
Oh, no.
156
00:05:53,787 --> 00:05:54,554
Look out.
157
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:55,555
Unbelievable.
158
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:57,991
Bret Hart had to
rise to that occasion,
159
00:05:57,991 --> 00:05:59,760
and for Steve Austin?
160
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,728
Nothing was going to stand in
the way
161
00:06:01,728 --> 00:06:04,097
of that rocket ride he was on.
162
00:06:04,631 --> 00:06:06,433
Ends up with me
going for my old finish,
163
00:06:06,433 --> 00:06:07,501
the Million Dollar Dream.
164
00:06:08,635 --> 00:06:09,536
Wait a minute,
165
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:10,470
there's the Million
Dollar Dream.
166
00:06:11,672 --> 00:06:13,073
He goes to the
turnbuckle, kicks,
167
00:06:13,073 --> 00:06:14,541
over we go, roll-up.
168
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:15,475
One.
169
00:06:15,475 --> 00:06:16,910
Hey.
170
00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:17,878
Unbelievable.
171
00:06:18,745 --> 00:06:19,980
Austin didn't let go
172
00:06:19,980 --> 00:06:23,083
of the Million Dollar Dream, and
it cost him the victory.
173
00:06:23,583 --> 00:06:25,285
He didn't beat me
by physicality,
174
00:06:25,285 --> 00:06:27,254
he beat me by outsmarting me.
175
00:06:28,422 --> 00:06:30,357
I always loved that
match with Stone Cold.
176
00:06:30,357 --> 00:06:31,458
That was a real barn burner.
177
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:34,394
What a matchup,
what a competitor,
178
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:38,231
and ladies and gentlemen,
The Hitman is back.
179
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,401
{\an8}widely recognized as one
ret Has
180
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,870
{\an8}of the greatest WWE
champions of all time.
181
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,840
Taking on challengers of all
shapes and sizes.
182
00:06:47,574 --> 00:06:50,110
I'm gonna take on
all challenges.
183
00:06:50,110 --> 00:06:51,945
That means all of them.
184
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,115
And in July
1994, Bret Hart would put his
185
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:59,252
WWE title on the line against
the underdog upstart,
186
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,921
the 1-2-3 Kid.
187
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:06,960
{\an8}The 1-2-3 Kid in the
biggest match of his life,
188
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,562
{\an8}ladies and gentlemen.
189
00:07:08,562 --> 00:07:10,797
{\an8}The 1-2-3 Kid was
really an up and comer
190
00:07:10,797 --> 00:07:12,766
{\an8}at this point, whereas
Bret "The Hitman"
191
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:15,569
Hart was the-the top
star in our game.
192
00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:18,538
He's gonna wanna
keep the 1-2-3 Kid to the mat,
193
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:21,108
and the 1-2-3 Kid is gonna try
to keep it
194
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,210
to a high-flying type action.
195
00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:26,046
{\an8}It's one of the most
beautiful matches I ever had.
196
00:07:26,647 --> 00:07:28,482
It's not one of those old school
wrestling matches
197
00:07:28,482 --> 00:07:31,018
where you got a headlock on them
for the whole match.
198
00:07:31,018 --> 00:07:32,619
Kid's gonna take a
chance.
199
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:34,087
High-risk offense.
200
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:35,689
Crossbody on the top.
201
00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:37,958
{\an8}I was already a
huge Bret Hart fan.
202
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:39,493
Bret let me come up with
everything.
203
00:07:39,493 --> 00:07:41,161
Like, he put everything into
place.
204
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:43,797
He wanted me to do all my stuff.
205
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,365
Watch this
action.
206
00:07:45,365 --> 00:07:46,400
Far side.
207
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,601
Oh, Hart caught him.
208
00:07:47,601 --> 00:07:49,036
Bret with his
technical skills,
209
00:07:49,036 --> 00:07:50,804
he couldn't match the
high-flying stuff,
210
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,606
but he could certainly
outsmart the Kid.
211
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:54,308
Bret Hart stepped
back.
212
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:55,475
He blocked the dropkick.
213
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:58,245
He's got the Sharpshooter.
214
00:07:58,245 --> 00:07:58,912
He's got him.
215
00:07:58,912 --> 00:07:59,846
He's got him.
216
00:07:59,846 --> 00:08:00,781
He's got- He's got the
Sharpshooter.
217
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:04,217
That was the
greatest championship match
218
00:08:04,217 --> 00:08:05,919
I have ever seen in my career.
219
00:08:06,553 --> 00:08:08,755
I wasn't so much
thinking about that I was having
220
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:10,891
a WWE Championship match
221
00:08:10,891 --> 00:08:12,659
but that I was having a match
with Bret Hart.
222
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:14,494
It was the greatest match of my
career.
223
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:15,762
One of the greatest
athletes.
224
00:08:15,762 --> 00:08:16,897
One of the
greatest matches ever.
225
00:08:16,897 --> 00:08:18,031
It's a beautiful
story,
226
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:20,200
and a beautiful match and
I loved every bit of it.
227
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,802
It was my way of giving back.
228
00:08:25,872 --> 00:08:28,308
In 1997, Bret
formed a new incarnation
229
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,110
of the Hart Foundation,
featuring his brother,
230
00:08:30,110 --> 00:08:33,280
Owen, brothers-in-law, Jim
Neidhart and Davey Boy Smith,
231
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,916
and family friend,
Brian Pillman.
232
00:08:35,916 --> 00:08:37,818
I've surrounded
myself with the best
233
00:08:37,818 --> 00:08:42,122
that the World Wrestling-- has to offer.
234
00:08:42,122 --> 00:08:43,790
The group was
bonded together with patriotic
235
00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:46,326
pride for their home country of
Canada.
236
00:08:46,326 --> 00:08:50,197
Canada is the best
there is, the best there was,
237
00:08:50,197 --> 00:08:51,932
and the best there ever will be.
238
00:08:53,367 --> 00:08:55,535
With Monday Night
Raw emanating from Edmonton,
239
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:59,006
Alberta, Canada, The Hitman was
out to prove just how superior
240
00:08:59,006 --> 00:09:02,843
his country is to their American
neighbors to the South.
241
00:09:09,483 --> 00:09:10,484
{\an8}Ladies
and gentlemen,
242
00:09:10,484 --> 00:09:13,921
{\an8}Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
243
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:16,957
Summer of '97,
you have Bret Hart
244
00:09:16,957 --> 00:09:19,726
and the Hart Foundation who are
beloved, of course, in Canada,
245
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:22,963
{\an8}and hated south of the border.
246
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:27,601
Americans think that
they're always better than us.
247
00:09:27,601 --> 00:09:31,004
They think they're better than
everyone.
248
00:09:31,004 --> 00:09:33,674
That whole time period was
interesting because we were good
249
00:09:33,674 --> 00:09:38,245
guys in Canada, and we were bad
guys in the States.
250
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:41,248
Canada's a country where we
still take care of the sick
251
00:09:41,248 --> 00:09:44,685
and the old, where we still have
health care.
252
00:09:44,685 --> 00:09:49,289
Canada isn't riddled with racial
prejudice and hatred.
253
00:09:49,289 --> 00:09:50,691
Felt very much
like it was Canada
254
00:09:50,691 --> 00:09:52,659
versus the USA.
255
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:54,995
There was this
love-hate thing going on
256
00:09:54,995 --> 00:09:56,463
that was really special.
257
00:09:56,463 --> 00:09:57,731
And I remember thinking,
258
00:09:57,731 --> 00:09:59,600
"This is really cool, like this
has never been done before."
259
00:10:01,001 --> 00:10:02,970
This is such a
proud moment as a Canadian,
260
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:05,572
and I'll tell you what, no lies
detected.
261
00:10:06,239 --> 00:10:09,443
Nobody is more proud
of being Canadian than I am.
262
00:10:11,378 --> 00:10:13,146
{\an8}King of the Ring tournament
te
263
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:17,584
{\an8}was used as a launching point
for several WWE careers.
264
00:10:17,584 --> 00:10:19,419
From "Stone Cold" Steve Austin-
265
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:23,056
Austin 3:16 says
I just whipped your ass.
266
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:25,025
Triple H-
267
00:10:25,025 --> 00:10:27,961
The 1997
King of the Ring.
268
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:29,396
to Brock Lesnar.
269
00:10:29,396 --> 00:10:30,230
Oh.
270
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:30,897
The F5.
271
00:10:30,897 --> 00:10:31,832
And it's over.
272
00:10:32,866 --> 00:10:34,167
Lesnar's the King of
the Ring.
273
00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:36,269
{\an8}But perhaps no
King of the Ring tournament held
274
00:10:36,269 --> 00:10:39,973
the anticipation like 1993's
memorable contest.
275
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,943
{\an8}Bret Hart would have to win
three consecutive matches
276
00:10:42,943 --> 00:10:46,146
{\an8}against some of WWE's greatest
superstars
277
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,649
in search of becoming
in-ring royalty.
278
00:10:48,649 --> 00:10:50,817
An incredible task was ahead of
The Hitman.
279
00:10:53,887 --> 00:10:54,788
{\an8}What a night it's
going to be,
280
00:10:54,788 --> 00:10:56,423
{\an8}ladies and gentlemen.
281
00:10:56,423 --> 00:10:57,224
{\an8}This is
a once-
282
00:10:58,492 --> 00:10:59,126
{\an8}in-a-lifetime
opportunity, and boy,
283
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:00,460
you better take
advantage of it.
284
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:01,628
He got hammered-
285
00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:03,096
What a tremendous clothesline.
286
00:11:03,463 --> 00:11:04,097
Whoa.
287
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:05,399
What a slam.
288
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:07,868
You can tell at the
King of the Ring, I have more
289
00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:09,236
confidence than I ever did.
290
00:11:09,236 --> 00:11:11,939
{\an8}And if anything, I'm gonna prove
myself today with three
291
00:11:11,939 --> 00:11:13,340
{\an8}different wrestlers.
292
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:14,408
I'm gonna beat all three of
them.
293
00:11:14,775 --> 00:11:15,542
He countered it.
294
00:11:15,542 --> 00:11:16,543
He countered the suplex.
295
00:11:17,477 --> 00:11:19,813
{\an8}Bret Hart's
really gifted.
296
00:11:19,813 --> 00:11:21,782
{\an8}That was big for him.
297
00:11:21,782 --> 00:11:23,350
{\an8}Hitman versus Mr.
Perfect.
298
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:25,585
{\an8}The Perfectplex
versus The Sharpshooter.
299
00:11:25,585 --> 00:11:27,054
Former Intercontinental
Champions putting
300
00:11:27,054 --> 00:11:28,922
their bodies on the line.
301
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:30,390
{\an8}Bret and Mr.
Perfect were going
302
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:31,358
{\an8}back and forth.
303
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:32,492
It was very competitive.
304
00:11:32,492 --> 00:11:33,260
That's it.
305
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:33,827
Cover.
306
00:11:33,827 --> 00:11:34,795
One, two-- A counter.
307
00:11:34,795 --> 00:11:35,595
It's countered.
308
00:11:35,595 --> 00:11:36,797
And yes.
309
00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:41,068
{\an8}It will be Bret Hart
meeting Bam Bam Bigelow.
310
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:43,437
{\an8}He's got three wildly
different opponents.
311
00:11:43,437 --> 00:11:46,106
It was almost just like the real
Bret Hart showcase.
312
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:47,040
Look at this
move.
313
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,908
Oh, my.
314
00:11:47,908 --> 00:11:49,109
He's nuts.
315
00:11:49,109 --> 00:11:51,712
The Hitman up on
Bigelow's shoulders.
316
00:11:52,312 --> 00:11:53,013
Can he got him in a--
317
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:54,014
Where's he going?
318
00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:54,648
He got him in a
victory roll.
319
00:11:54,781 --> 00:11:55,649
He's got the feet hooked.
320
00:11:55,649 --> 00:11:56,450
Oh.
321
00:11:56,450 --> 00:11:57,384
And he wins it.
322
00:11:57,384 --> 00:11:58,619
I don't believe
it.
323
00:11:58,619 --> 00:12:00,020
I'm not gonna say it's
Bret Hart's greatest moment,
324
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:02,022
because God, how do you count
them all?
325
00:12:02,022 --> 00:12:03,590
But it was definitely one of
them.
326
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:06,093
The King of the
Ring.
327
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:12,899
"The Hitman" was
on a roll in the summer of 1997.
328
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:15,769
Backed by the Hart Foundation,
Bret emerged as the number one
329
00:12:15,769 --> 00:12:18,438
contender to the WWE
Championship,
330
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:21,908
which was dominantly held by
"The Phenom" The Undertaker.
331
00:12:22,476 --> 00:12:24,678
I will be the World
Wrestling-- Champion.
332
00:12:25,412 --> 00:12:30,350
You will rest
in peace.
333
00:12:31,785 --> 00:12:33,120
Hart and
Undertaker were headed for a
334
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,223
collision course at Summerslam,
but "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn
335
00:12:36,223 --> 00:12:38,792
Michaels demanded inclusion in
the match.
336
00:12:39,393 --> 00:12:42,829
I will be the
special referee.
337
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:45,065
And Bret
immediately questioned
338
00:12:45,065 --> 00:12:46,100
{\an8}Michaels' ability to
remain impartial.
339
00:12:49,836 --> 00:12:51,104
Would Hart
overcome the odds
340
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:52,539
and secure another championship?
341
00:12:56,343 --> 00:12:57,945
{\an8}The following
contest is for the
342
00:12:57,945 --> 00:13:03,150
{\an8}World Wrestling--
Championship.
343
00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:04,818
The Summerslam match
with Undertaker,
344
00:13:04,818 --> 00:13:08,589
it's really one of my greatest
matches, for sure.
345
00:13:10,891 --> 00:13:14,461
Bret was a
no-nonsense kind of wrestler.
346
00:13:14,461 --> 00:13:19,066
{\an8}So I ended up dropping The
Undertaker guard a little bit,
347
00:13:19,066 --> 00:13:21,435
and incorporating more
athleticism into it.
348
00:13:22,502 --> 00:13:24,371
And what a
seesaw match this has been.
349
00:13:26,573 --> 00:13:27,507
It was hard.
350
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:28,775
It was such hard work.
351
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:30,744
But it was such a beautiful
match.
352
00:13:31,611 --> 00:13:33,647
You know Bret
"The Hitman" Hart wants to
353
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:36,116
blast Shawn Michaels so bad.
354
00:13:36,116 --> 00:13:37,017
{\an8}Two guys like
Bret and I,
355
00:13:37,017 --> 00:13:39,620
{\an8}we were competing
with one another.
356
00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:41,555
The animosity
builds until it gets
357
00:13:41,555 --> 00:13:43,423
to the point where
Bret spits the
358
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:47,594
{\an8}golf ball-sized loogie right
in Shawn's face.
359
00:13:47,594 --> 00:13:50,464
And then Shawn swung a chair,
but Bret ducked.
360
00:13:50,464 --> 00:13:53,634
Undertaker was on the receiving
end of it.
361
00:13:54,268 --> 00:13:55,569
Oh God.
362
00:13:55,569 --> 00:13:57,437
Shawn ended up helping Bret win
the title.
363
00:14:00,374 --> 00:14:01,008
He certainly
didn't want to,
364
00:14:01,008 --> 00:14:02,342
but that's what worked out.
365
00:14:02,609 --> 00:14:04,678
Whenever I think
back to great moments in my
366
00:14:04,678 --> 00:14:06,780
career, the ending at SummerSlam
is always one
367
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:08,282
that makes me really smile.
368
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:10,617
I can't believe
this.
369
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:14,554
At Survivor
Series 1997,
370
00:14:14,554 --> 00:14:17,824
Bret Hart departed WWE in
controversial fashion.
371
00:14:18,792 --> 00:14:19,760
McMahon said ring the
bell.
372
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:22,062
Michaels has become the WWE
Champion.
373
00:14:22,663 --> 00:14:24,197
Bret was told he
was going to win that night,
374
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:25,866
but was screwed out of
his title
375
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:28,936
by Vince McMahon and his
nemesis, Shawn Michaels.
376
00:14:29,436 --> 00:14:32,139
Nobody knows better
than I do
377
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:34,174
what it's like to
get screwed over.
378
00:14:34,174 --> 00:14:36,176
But the WWE
Universe never gave up hope
379
00:14:36,176 --> 00:14:38,478
that "The Hitman" would
one day come back home
380
00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:42,215
and the two superstars could
finally make peace.
381
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,354
{\an8}Making his
first appearance on Raw
382
00:14:47,354 --> 00:14:53,493
{\an8}in over 12 years, Bret
"The Hitman" Hart.
383
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:56,263
Oh, my God.
384
00:14:56,263 --> 00:14:57,864
This is amazing.
385
00:14:58,332 --> 00:14:59,833
When I think back to
that time period,
386
00:14:59,833 --> 00:15:01,335
I don't know where I found the
courage to do that.
387
00:15:01,335 --> 00:15:04,538
I just was so nervous about how
it would be perceived.
388
00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:06,740
It's been 12 long
years.
389
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,942
{\an8}The time that
he had away from WWE,
390
00:15:08,942 --> 00:15:11,578
{\an8}I know it was really
hard on him.
391
00:15:11,578 --> 00:15:13,981
12 years of things
that I've wanted
392
00:15:13,981 --> 00:15:15,349
to get off my chest.
393
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,117
Shawn Michaels, come out here.
394
00:15:19,386 --> 00:15:21,021
And there's Shawn
Michaels.
395
00:15:21,555 --> 00:15:23,056
I didn't speak
to Bret nor see him
396
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:24,791
for easily more than a decade.
397
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:27,561
Apparently, hell
has frozen over.
398
00:15:29,096 --> 00:15:30,931
Carrying that
burden for both of us
399
00:15:30,931 --> 00:15:32,966
in different ways was heavy.
400
00:15:32,966 --> 00:15:35,669
I would love to be able to put
that behind us.
401
00:15:35,669 --> 00:15:38,572
You're not the only one that
wants to bury the hatchet.
402
00:15:39,573 --> 00:15:41,541
It was like a big
giant weight carrying
403
00:15:41,541 --> 00:15:43,877
around all that anger and grief.
404
00:15:43,877 --> 00:15:46,713
Both got tired of fighting each
other and having this ill will.
405
00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:50,017
If you wanna bury the hatchet,
let's bury it right now.
406
00:15:57,691 --> 00:15:58,692
The best thing I
ever did
407
00:15:58,692 --> 00:16:00,027
was make peace with
it.
408
00:16:01,395 --> 00:16:02,529
I don't know
about you, but I've got some
409
00:16:02,529 --> 00:16:04,865
goose bumps going up and down my
spine right now.
410
00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:09,603
{\an8}often recognized as one of the
411
00:16:09,603 --> 00:16:13,440
{\an8}greatest in-ring performers in
WWE history.
412
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,075
With his incredible athletic
ability backed by a genius
413
00:16:15,075 --> 00:16:19,079
wrestling mind, Bret could
simply do it all.
414
00:16:19,079 --> 00:16:23,216
I'm ready to take on
anybody, anytime, anywhere.
415
00:16:23,216 --> 00:16:24,685
But "The
Hitman's" technical abilities
416
00:16:24,685 --> 00:16:27,554
may have been rivaled by one,
Mr. Perfect.
417
00:16:27,554 --> 00:16:31,124
A superstar who prides himself
on being absolutely,
418
00:16:31,124 --> 00:16:32,359
well, perfect.
419
00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:34,127
You're close to
perfect, Bret Hart,
420
00:16:34,127 --> 00:16:35,595
but you're not Mr. Perfect.
421
00:16:36,563 --> 00:16:38,298
Naturally, these
two wrestling greats would look
422
00:16:38,298 --> 00:16:40,734
{\an8}to prove themselves as the
superior competitor.
423
00:16:41,768 --> 00:16:45,205
{\an8}At SummerSlam 1991, The Hitman
and The Perfect One would clash
424
00:16:45,205 --> 00:16:48,208
for the prestigious
Intercontinental Championship.
425
00:16:51,578 --> 00:16:53,347
{\an8}All the
marbles at stake here.
426
00:16:53,347 --> 00:16:55,649
{\an8}Jam packed here
in The Garden.
427
00:16:55,649 --> 00:16:57,084
{\an8}The match
that Bret Hart had with Mr.
428
00:16:57,084 --> 00:16:59,720
{\an8}Perfect in 1991 was incredible.
429
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,655
{\an8}It was a match that had
everybody talking.
430
00:17:01,655 --> 00:17:04,124
Perfect's got not
only his title on the line
431
00:17:04,124 --> 00:17:05,726
but his reputation.
432
00:17:06,326 --> 00:17:07,361
You can only
think about one thing,
433
00:17:07,361 --> 00:17:08,895
that's your opponent.
434
00:17:08,895 --> 00:17:11,665
Both of these guys in tip-top
physical condition.
435
00:17:12,833 --> 00:17:15,168
{\an8}He was one of those
kind of guys that was a natural.
436
00:17:15,168 --> 00:17:17,437
He was as good a wrestler as
there ever was.
437
00:17:17,437 --> 00:17:19,640
Perfect in a
whole lot of trouble,
438
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,842
but The Hitman
gaining confidence.
439
00:17:21,842 --> 00:17:23,910
{\an8}I don't even think
there was a more perfect
440
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:25,946
{\an8}opponent for Bret that night to
overcome.
441
00:17:25,946 --> 00:17:28,282
It looks like
he's looking for a way out.
442
00:17:28,282 --> 00:17:31,318
Hart wants it
bad, Perfect wants to keep it.
443
00:17:31,318 --> 00:17:32,519
Oh, no.
444
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:34,421
Has he got the fingers locked?
445
00:17:34,421 --> 00:17:36,156
No, he kicked out.
446
00:17:36,156 --> 00:17:38,492
Nice block there, that move.
447
00:17:38,492 --> 00:17:42,763
Oh, he's got that hold half
applied on the canvas.
448
00:17:42,763 --> 00:17:44,331
The Sharpshooter.
449
00:17:44,331 --> 00:17:44,932
He's got it.
450
00:17:45,666 --> 00:17:46,199
He's got it.
451
00:17:46,199 --> 00:17:46,967
No.
452
00:17:46,967 --> 00:17:47,567
No.
453
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:48,201
Yes.
454
00:17:48,201 --> 00:17:49,236
We've got a new champion.
455
00:17:49,236 --> 00:17:51,972
Everyone going crazy here.
456
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:54,374
{\an8}That match
stands out because it really
457
00:17:54,374 --> 00:17:57,311
{\an8}launches Bret into the singles
stratosphere.
458
00:17:57,678 --> 00:17:59,646
The new
Intercontinental Champion.
459
00:18:00,314 --> 00:18:01,848
I thought it stole
the show that day.
460
00:18:01,848 --> 00:18:03,650
We had the best matches.
461
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:05,986
This place is
going bananas.
462
00:18:07,487 --> 00:18:08,922
We've now reached
our number one moment.
463
00:18:08,922 --> 00:18:12,893
Five-time WWE Champion, Bret
Hart, may be considered one of
464
00:18:12,893 --> 00:18:15,128
the greatest technicians inside
the squared circle,
465
00:18:15,128 --> 00:18:17,764
but becoming a champion doesn't
happen over night.
466
00:18:18,165 --> 00:18:19,833
I fought and crawled
my way to the top.
467
00:18:19,833 --> 00:18:21,802
In 1992, The
Hitman had slowly been climbing
468
00:18:21,802 --> 00:18:24,571
the ranks of the WWE ladder for
years.
469
00:18:25,606 --> 00:18:26,573
We'reall going to
find out that
470
00:18:26,573 --> 00:18:27,908
I'm going straight to the top.
471
00:18:27,908 --> 00:18:30,978
Hart was certain
that his time as champion was
472
00:18:30,978 --> 00:18:34,348
on the horizon, yet standing in
his way of achieving his goal
473
00:18:34,348 --> 00:18:36,583
was perhaps the greatest
champion of all time.
474
00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:43,457
Ric Flair rules the
World Wrestling--.
475
00:18:43,457 --> 00:18:46,960
Bret "The Hitman"
Hart will not hold that title.
476
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,162
The two would
battle it out with the title on
477
00:18:49,162 --> 00:18:52,432
the line in front of a wild
Canadian crowd.
478
00:18:57,604 --> 00:18:59,006
{\an8}If anybody
has a chance,
479
00:18:59,006 --> 00:19:00,240
{\an8}The Hitman does.
480
00:19:01,208 --> 00:19:02,943
{\an8}I had a great time
working with Bret.
481
00:19:02,943 --> 00:19:05,245
That was a great match, I
thought.
482
00:19:05,245 --> 00:19:06,913
Every time
Flair steps into the ring,
483
00:19:07,014 --> 00:19:09,650
he is in 100%
physical condition.
484
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:11,752
What I found when I
wrestled Ric Flair,
485
00:19:11,752 --> 00:19:14,121
that I really had to find a
different gear to stay
486
00:19:14,121 --> 00:19:16,456
up with him, to
keep up with him.
487
00:19:16,456 --> 00:19:18,358
It's been a
blistering pace set by both men,
488
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:20,961
challenger and champion.
489
00:19:20,961 --> 00:19:24,598
{\an8}Bret, in the eyes
of the fans, he was the best
490
00:19:24,598 --> 00:19:27,367
{\an8}there is, the best there was and
the best there ever will be.
491
00:19:29,403 --> 00:19:31,171
He's got him
turned over.
492
00:19:32,606 --> 00:19:33,473
Oh, he gave
up.
493
00:19:34,841 --> 00:19:36,543
We've seen
history made.
494
00:19:40,247 --> 00:19:41,815
He does have a gift.
495
00:19:41,815 --> 00:19:43,684
He can make people feel it.
496
00:19:43,684 --> 00:19:47,154
A man who has
devoted his entire life
497
00:19:47,154 --> 00:19:49,656
to this moment.
498
00:19:49,656 --> 00:19:52,092
I never expected any
of this to happen.
499
00:19:52,092 --> 00:19:54,795
As a kid, when I was probably
about 12,
500
00:19:54,795 --> 00:19:57,364
that I dreamed about
being champion.
501
00:19:57,364 --> 00:20:00,367
This is the greatest moment of
my whole life.
502
00:20:00,367 --> 00:20:04,004
The biggest dreams can still
come true.
503
00:20:07,507 --> 00:20:09,009
Bret Hart's
excellence simply
504
00:20:09,009 --> 00:20:10,444
cannot be
disputed.
505
00:20:10,444 --> 00:20:14,481
With a career story as any in
WWE history,
506
00:20:14,481 --> 00:20:17,084
Bret Hart will forever remain a
legend in the squared circle.
507
00:20:17,084 --> 00:20:20,921
{\an8}There's no denying that he truly
is the best there is,
508
00:20:20,921 --> 00:20:25,259
{\an8}the best there was and the
best there ever will be.
509
00:20:25,259 --> 00:20:28,161
{\an8}That'll do it for this edition
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
510
00:20:28,161 --> 00:20:30,897
{\an8}I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at the best of the
511
00:20:30,897 --> 00:20:34,901
{\an8}legendary "Hitman" Bret Hart.
